...and back.

*Look what's landing in Unity Group hangar. It's a beat up Daughtress! And climbing out of it is the totally honest merchant, looking somewhat worse to wear.*

Hello, do you still have opening in Unity Group? Also, do you have storage for roughly three thousands off-brand handheld consoles?

[star_of_sad]

Oh. That was fast.

Are these the, umm, Polystations?

[totallyhonest]

Maybe. Some of them at least, most definitely. Also, please don't google my name for the next few days.

[star_of_sad]

Okay...

[Setsuko isn't sure how to do it gently, so she goes for a straightforward approach.]

You didn't do anything very illegal, did you?

[totallyhonest]

If I did something very illegal would I dare to come to the headquarter of a multi-governmental peacekeeping organization?

*smile*

[star_of_sad]

[Nod nod.]

[totallyhonest]

Do yo really think that badly of me?

[star_of_sad]

No, it's not that! It's just...

[Now Setsuko feels bad.]

If something bad happened, or something me or others can help with, we need to know, okay?

[totallyhonest]

Well, maybe I do need some privacy and protection from some people

[totallyhonest]

But really! There's nothing illegal!

There's just... some disagreement on contracts and such.

[star_of_sad]

Please tell me it's not another Sapphire Eyes who's after you.

[totallyhonest]

It's not that. It's just my business partners didn't really appreciate the quality of the goods I'm supplying them. They're even as far as calling it a fraud...

Don't worry about that, they're reasonable people, I'm sure they'll calm down in a bit.

[star_of_sad]

I'm... sure they will.

[Setsuko sighs, but she asks with a note of amusement in her voice.]

Oh Grace. Is this the kind of thing you always get into?

[totallyhonest]

I don't know what you're implying.

[star_of_sad]

Of course.

Well, let's try to unpack whatever you have inside the Daughtress. But just so you know, I am still not buying anything.

[totallyhonest]

Then I'm not paying you for helping me unloading the daughtress.

[star_of_sad]

I guess I'll have to live with it.

[lostamigo]

...How did you get those?

[totallyhonest]

Well... you know when people trying to reuse or rebuild an abandoned building they just auction the interior wholesale?

Let's say that I had a good bid.

[lostamigo]

I didn't know you have the money to win an auction.

What're you gonna do with those?

[spearpunch]

You're back!

[Have a big hug from Beakie.]

[totallyhonest]

Aww, it's not something to be that excited about.

[spearpunch]

But it totally is! Unless-

[OH WAIT!]



Did Sapphire Eyes come back somehow?!? You're not back because of that, are you?!?

[totallyhonest]

No! God no.

I'm just having some problem with my business partners.
