Stakeouts, Sanskrit, Sorrowman and Socials
Gabe went with me to inspect the corral at the Oakley Ranch. 50 Meter diameter and a dozen head of Feeder Cattle. The cows were fairly skitting actually, flitting about. Gabe liked smacking them about.
Been getting around more on horseback, now that I found a properly Jai-sized pony. I forget how many months Zenobia has had the warehouse/compound there, but at least 4 times in the past week I have seen people hanging out in front of it. Doing nothing really. But no one ever did nothing really in front of it before. Damn that multichromatic hasbeen gossip.
Whodat?
Found LilyBell and Cody fretting over some book in the Blue Sun compound.
There was some strange notes on the chalkboard...
...and sanskrit written all over the walls. I bet either Mirra or Brother Feargananym at Bihar could maybe translate.
Later after an uncomfortable and regretable misunderstanding with LilyBell and Cody, they obsessed over BlueSun's new Synthetic, BerryBlueSun. It spouted some cryptic clues about Thoth and AuroraBlue, Sand coming, coins and such.
Later that evening I ran into Cody, he was heartbroken. Welcome to the emotional rollercoaster we know as LilyBell. Gallagher was missing, presumed dead by the hand of Gallagher Diesel, deathbot. Gallagher's keyring and some orange sand was left at the scene. Anyone recognize where this is from?
Lily freaked and shut down. Later, I found her in one of the Blue Sun labs with Blue, sounded like the upload again.
After the upload sounds finished, Lily came up and about. Kitten was there. Apparently if you ever need Kitten to show up, all you need to do is create a set of circumstances that would spell her doom. I tried to warn her, she skipped and froliced. Against my own best judgement, so did I. It is surprisingly liberating. I declined to eat the worm that Kitten offered. She has never eaten sushi.
BerryBlueSun is now in Krenshar's Casino. Don't ask me to explain either part of why Krenshar has a casino or why BerryBlueSun is there. I don't know and it makes my head hurt to think about it.
Newhall is part of my regular route, second to last stop. I had to update the auto ship to shore shuttle. I had to fly down manually and I got a good look at the Alliance Station near the shipyard. The Alliance appears to be standardizing some of their orbital facilities. They have one almost exactly like it over Zenobia and Bihar.
Almost exactly like it. Apparently Sorrowman Shipping cut an advertising deal with the Alliance. How slick is that?
Ambassadorial duties are a little more tedious than being trade consulate. I was only made trade consulate because no one else wanted the job. I went to a social event at the companions House on Al Raqis. The constable made a few thoughtful comments about paperwork reduction. We had some deep breathing meditation and then drank an unidentified blend of coffee without knowing how it was baked, its coarseness of grinding, or how it was brewed. I think it was perhaps unimportant because they sprinkled to top with the cinammon flavored awareness spectrum narcotic I estimate is worth 15-20 Credits a serving. And there was no sushi.
This is Dr. Thomas Isaac, he is studying the giant invertebrates indiginous to Mu Draconis. Like the Kopi Luwak coffee, the cinammon flavored awareness spectrum narcotic is also passed thru the digestive tract of an animal.
I hooked up Constable Vooper Werribee with some of the Kona Coffee (animal digestive tract free) and a sample of 34Tauri United Alliance of Planet Currency.
The former for quality control and the latter for numismatic purposes....of course.
The Constable showed me a security photo of a ship hovering over the Splintered Rock Landing Pad.
Before heading back in the other direction of my long trip, I took a local ornithopter and looked out at the sunset.
