SHIT! I’ve been in a black hole. LITERALLY. I am still young while the rest of you are OLD, but the game has passed me by!!! What do I do now? The Pub needs some helium. Not for flotation, silly. We are already in space. For fire-suppression. When we went into the black hole, the squeeze caused the propane tanks to implode and we had a wee fire in the galley. Now the pub looks like this:
Can I get back in the game? Need to read all of this stuff… oh boy. gulp

Man, I hope ssso. I’ve been drinkin’ and sssingin’ in your leaky-asss pub for daysss, now, all unaware that it was imploding around my ear-analoguesss. That explainsss all the popping sssoundsss. And the lack of headroom. Plusss the backed-up plumbing in the head.
Wait, that green ssstuff isn’t actually Tropical Coolant after all, is it?
Bleaaarrrggghhh!!!

[Space Lobsters are deeply superstitious, and the tantalizing potential of the Billiken proves too much for poor Scuttle. Walking with solemn intent as if in a trance, he intones rhythmically to himself as he arranges the proper exchanges with Ella and her subordinate systems.]
“Five strange loops. True an’ deep we’ll need them, Ella. Listen:”
~ One for the Foil, so rudely undone and
~ Two for the Misanthrope, burned on a run
~ Three for the pilots wiped from existence and
~ Four for the spacers and all their persistence
= None for the foe and all his heuristics
= but Five for the fleet and all her ballistics.

Feeling lucky?

[Lazlo trundles in Gap’s direction, sloshing a tiny black flag about in a fresh drink.]
“Did he buy six Billikens or only five? Well to tell you the truth in all this excitement I kinda lost track myself. But being that Duck’s Pond serves the most powerful cocktail in the galaxy and it could blow my head clean off, you’ve gotta ask yourself one question: ‘Do I feel lucky?’”
[Lazlo blinks, a little unsure as to what is supposed to come next.]
“And furthermore, Susan. Yesssssh.”
[Exactly how many drinks have the other crews bought Lazlo at this point? It is a mystery.]

I need b81 to get the drones off my back. Then I can focus on protecting other captains facing drones.
b50 could get me the repairs I need to survive, but then what happens after this battle? I’m lucky enough that I will probably take less than the average damage, but unless I pay the Unizone debt, I’m not any better off than I was before, and most likely much worse.
What’s worse, with Unizone equipment onboard, I’m liable to become a drone myself. I need retrofitting from Ella, or this is my last round. IC: Unizone won’t know my plans, they’ll just be sending drones after me.
I’ve got a lot of firepower though, and I’m willing to fight drones to help another Captain make it through.
So what I need is b81 to get clear of the debt, b50 for repairs, an Ella refit and then the opportunity to do something worthy of all that opportunity I was just given (if I was given it).

b50 is enough for 2 sets of repairs and Mission 2. Likely the drones won’t both again for less than b100. We aren’t worth the bother.
