Also by the way, do you know what a Pavonis Ear Grub is?
I just found out and I'm dreaded to think what GuruTez plans to do with it. I have just been doing a little research on Galnet while we sit here in this Ice ring. Guru Told me to put out a call to Mr Stiles, the type of call that creep could never ignore, an now we just wait. Usually you see one or two miners in rings like this but at the moment it feels quiet. I have noticed quite a few adverts on Galnet regarding mining equipment, and stories about new mining protocols and licences but that is far from our minds now.
Simione has been tinkering around with the new ship launched fighters that Guru has just bought, along with his new Krait MkII. Simione has also been strutting like a peacock in the new anti thrombosis body suit that Guru had made for him from Altarian Skin, the skin changes color and texture to meet his mood but more importantly absorbs his sweat and body odor, changing it into a unique personal perfume. He still showers on the regular though, say's he grown to love it.
Anyway back to the point, here is a little extract I found in an obscure Xeno biology journal on the Net about Pavonis Ear Gubs:
Native to the harsh desert climate, these unpleasant creatures will burrow into any soft surface, including flesh, to avoid the sun. Their resemblance of a walking human ear lead to their name. Some slavers use these grubs as a restrainer for their captives, attaching a dormant extra ear to the forehead of their slave that can be remotely triggered.
Yeah WTF!!!
"I really really want to know whats about to happen." This is the thought I had just as the sensors chimed up announcing that a ship had just dropped into the area from super cruise. I followed my instructions and killed the ships power core so we were just running on battery power, being in an Ice ring meant our temperature was below zero in seconds. For all intents and purposes before the ship was in scanning range we were invisible. They were still burning hot, I locked on, let the scanner do its work and it was confirmed. I reached down to the intercom and let them know.
"Alright you two, he's here. He's in a Federal Dropship and it looks like he did come alone."
I got the acknowledgments back from GuruTez and Simione and operation "IAGO" was a go.
