So Where Was I...

"So where was I..... Oh yeah..... There I was in the asteroids when a gorram shuttle come down and hit the Shadow..... " Sat back in the chair out front of the boardin' house...."Hell.... Had some gorram insane hallucinations too. G all little and all.. And don't ask me why all Desmond was in em too. I couldn't tall you...."

"Seems I get a string of luck and then I end up with set backs of late. Been doin' some salvage stuff on my own. Not a lot... Ain't been much to touch. At least none that can be claimed yet. Once the 'liance moves out I can check whats further out.... Maybe get lucky and find a good BIG salvage...", runnin' a hand through my hair, realizin' I needed another haircut. "Got some call not that long ago.. Lily was havin' some trouble with a feller.... Shaft..." Shakin' my head, rem'mberin' the whole gorram thin', "She said she couldn't get out of her place cause he wasn't gonna let her... Got me a mite angered, so I went to check it out.... And found my own self face to face with a big black panther. Tried to move away from it when the animal went for me. Was all I could do to keep its fangs away from my throat. Bit and clawed my arm up.... So I punched it in the nose... Got it good.... It let go and slunk back to the other side of the room while I got out of there..."

"Doc wasn't 'round to treat the bite or the scratches..... So I had to do it my own self. Anyway, took a trip to Colchester..... Had to drop off some stuff, and get a few parts for the Shadow.... Then went up to the clini cup there.... Overheard somethin' 'bout bodies.. and missin' organs.... Wasn't good form what all I could tell of it. Someone stealin' parts again..... Thats when I mentioned Brooke was investigatin' it b'fore she went into hidin'." Yeah.. and now Brooke's gone all missin' too. "But the sheriff had somethin' else to deal with too..... He was askin' for volunteers to hunt down some big old lizards... I was thinkin maybe somethin' like a gila monster.... Wow was I wrong... When we went lookin' we has to search out some cave. Seems someone found a lab in there..... They even mentioned Mindo's name.... Got me wonderin' what all was goin' on in there. Then One come out of a den.. Gorram huge it was... Like a kamodo dragon. Aiya it was fast..... Lucky we got it b'fore it got one of us. Aroha said somethin' 'bout watchin' out for gettin' bit. Seems they're poisonous too." Couldn't sit still, had to stand again.

"Now go figure... A bunch of folks got bit when we found a bunch of dens. Got my own self bit in the side... Feel bad for Tabi though....... She got bit in the leg bad. Had to spend the night on Colchester b'fore headin' back to Hale's Moon. Took a few days to heal up from that.... Aroha even stopped by to check up on me." Sighin', I had to pace. I knew she was somewhere nearby.... AuroraBlue..... "Lily was 'round after a while.. She was off world doin' stuff.... Then she was workin' in the mines..... Seems AuroraBlue's been down there too. Diggin'........" Lookin' toward the mines, I knew she was down there..... "Had to check see what all they're doin' down there.... Found where AuroraBlue was stayin' down there.. Lily showed me... But not where she was..... Wouldn't let me go lower into the mines....." Will have to go check it later though....

"Got to do some other stuff too.. Got to get somethin' to Aroha on the organ thefts that Brooke was lookin' into a while back.. Stuff Jai had info on too..... Might be there's organ theives workin' on Colchester.. And if that's true then a lot of folk're in trouble........"
