Message:That was much easier. Too easy? Well, we did take damage constantly. We also picked up a wondrous Astro Navigation system that I was outvoted on and was sold. Lousy cretins wanted laser pistols.
We found an Industrial kitchen and promptly got it shot to snot. In two later R&R the engineers failed to fix our microwave. Stupid burritos wrapped in foil.
I failed to master 6D chess, while facing a panorama of colored lights assaulting my focus, to rid Sirius Alpha of her diabolical Melmacian puppet masters.
I also refused to cheat like the rest of the contestants to win the Kappa Phoenicis trilateral space race without using vessel armaments that should definitely result in a time-out and forfeiture of the symbolic iron schnoz prize as well as the trade agreement you seek. This while everyone else in the competition seems to be heavily armed and unconcerned about deploying mines, using lightspeed and running in bump-grind as if this was a demolition death race space derby. The referees are obviously Dark Zosma Russian actors.
Yet Tony did win the free-for-all clash in the battle pits of Vega Lyra, against the assorted champions of the Vykeen. Victor gets the honor to sacrifice the Zoni slave girl to the unnamed gods; keep that from occurring as well. This culture is a mess.
Fred, the Legionnaire got a Dear John letter from the space babe he was schlecking. Poor guy.
Rusty did not die even as he was punked five times and once had his pants ejected into space while he was in the shower.
Yours,
