Sure Strike had made it glaringly obvious that the detour he’d been forced to take was all Aaron’s fault. The cruiser Octal 1 had docked with a transfer vehicle, an open hulled ship stuffed with all manner of equipment and possible salvage. Dozens of Squeen clung to netting in places, some obviously families, others on some unknown mission. At least a dozen other species were in evidence as well, of which he recognized half. A pair of armed and armored Squeen guards escorted him over along with Sure Strike. Once aboard, the guards stayed with Aaron while the captain met with the ship’s master. A while later, he came back scuttling along the myriad of handholds placed in every place imaginable. “I have diverted the ship’s master to take us to the command ship,” he told Aaron. “He is upset with you now as well as his paying trips will be delayed.” “Swell,” Aaron said and was immediately aware that every being in the cargo area was looking at him.
