For the Mug -6-

*returning to the landing pad*Looking at the ship there I see no evidence anymore of my poor landing attempt. I’m looking around and found Frank leaning over the half-opened side panel opening.
Frank: “Kid, already back, aren’t you? Did the brotherhood tricked you on the cards table and you need to leave fast before they realize you don’t have the balance you have gambled with?”
Me: “Well, I feel a bit like I was tricked, but there should be no open bills left.
Frank: “Lucky you are – the last guy they picked up in an escape pod after he spend 5 rounds robiting around Eden.”
Me: “Talking of leaving – how’s the boat?”
Frank: “This is a fine piece of a ship – and yes, it’s ready. Did you know I got a parking clamp still on the from landing pad? Must have made terrible noises during hyperspace jumping”
That’s explaining the strange noises – good that’s out of the way!
Me: “No, well … it’s my mom’s ship…”
Frank: “Sure…”
Me: “Ok, thank you very much, how much do you get?”
Frank: “Make it 203 credits …”
Me: “Ah … ok, make 250 …
Frank: “Lad, you seam to be a nice little fellow after all!”
Me: “You’re welcome!
*paying the bill and getting on board*
Ok, now let’s go back to Mars. Wait first I need to send mom the pictures. We could do a small video chat but I’m not in the mood anymore for the discussions.
*taking a picture and send it to mom*
Ok, this out of the way lets get back to taking the hyperspace shortcut. This was a long day and I’m happy to get back home. And, somehow Frank mentioned the brotherhood’s usual business between the line – this makes me nervous as well.
