You step off of the shuttles into one of the bustling, heavily-guarded docks buried deep within the rock of an asteroid. Everyone seems too wrapped up in their own business to pay much mind to the group pouring out with you, and the mechanical sounds of takeoff, landing, and regular maintenance fill the air with clinks and whirs. As you begin to explore the colony, you find dingy and worn streets filled with a ruckus that's easy to get lost in: pushy merchants, booming, scratchy voices coming from inebriated patrons, and the scurrying footsteps of opportunistic thieves darting through the crowds. The colony no longer seems to profit off its mines, but this waystation for undesirables does have a taste for myriad forms of entertainment.

Then we'll assume you do until we know otherwise.

[He takes the bag, strange as this whole experience is]

So this is in case...

[It's a later invention, okay?]

[suddenlycaptain]

If you have to throw up, aim for in there.

[lafautedevoltaire]

[He nods. The concept is new, but not hard to grasp]

Saves on the mess.

Exactly.

[ There's a pause, then Carolyn quickly reaches out to ruffle his hair. ]
