On Hauling Slaves....Baltah'sine Station, Human Bubble, Empire.... I Remembered my Hauler days... ...scraping together enough creds to keep my little delivery van of a ship spaceborne. Days of sleeping in the cramped bunk on board, or a scuzzy sleepaway on dockside....
So my mechanic called me up to the dock this morning....Blackmount Habitation, HIP 17692, Pleiades..... My heart pumped adrenaline at the news, and I could feel the veins bulging out on my temples. I swallowed back my unease and a growing sense of panic. I asked again. "What do you mean SOLD?"...
