Challenge Accepted: Diso, Uszaa
23 Mar 2016Magnudius
Nudo accepted the sketchy mission to Diso out of curiosity and, as she usually did, quickly departed. Owning to the sensitive nature of her mission, Nudo got to use a new interdiction-evasion trick she read about during the long, empty hours that filled her life recently. She managed to land her Orca on the planet “like a glove”, as the old saying went, and concluded her business contracts before heading out on a little excursion in her SRV. Except for a stupid bounty for blowing up a rock in the Fire Zone, Nudo enjoyed her quick cruise out into the hinterland of the low-gravity Diso 4 B. Sadly for her, Nudo could never completely tune out her inner clock that calculated the net profit of her lifespan; she began to feel the pull to get back to her quest. With a sigh and prompt recall of her ship, Nudo set off in supercruise towards Shifnalport to pick up some Diso Ma Corn.
After crossing off Zaonce and Diso from her Lave Cluster list, Nudo looked over her galactic map and decided to make a crescent moon pattern out of the remainder of her route. She set course for Orrere and picked up some Vicious Brew after her arrival. Uszaa came next, where Nudo met the laziest trader she's encountered yet in her trading career:
“What do you mean I have to go down there and grab it for myself? What kind of Uszaian Tree Grub dealer are you?” Nudo had asked in disbelief. “And how do grubs survive on an icy body with no atmosphere?”
With a shake of his shoulders, the dealer replied with, “they're grubs, man. Grubs be grubs. You want in?”
Nudo had laughed in his face—a rare response of hers—and walked a short space away to next Grub Dealer. They had 7 rare Uszaian Tree Grubs on hand, in store. Nudo bought those up and was out the door faster then her whole conversation with Grub-B-Grub. Happy to leave Uszaa behind and tasting the Lavian Brandy soon to be, Nudo gleefully headed for Leesti, her last stop before paradise in Lave.
