Random Chance And The Paradise That Is Earth - Plot & Excerpts
It went on for a short time; Random felt it slow to a stop. The opposite wall went transparent. Staring coldly at him were two armed men in gray-blue uniforms, one sitting at a small desk, the other standing, hands clasped behind his back. Random didn't bother standing. The one sitting at the desk read aloud from a screen. "The charges are: conspiring with the enemy—" "Bullshit," said Hewey in his ear. "—blaring—" "What is 'bullshit'?" asked Cubey. "I'll explain later," said Hewey. "I will update my files when the information is made available.” " 'Blaring'?" said Hewey. "It is the legal term for the inappropriate use of a communications instrument in or near an interplanetary travel or shipping lane, or the use of same near an inhabited world," explained Cubey. "My friend Random Chance is being charged with both." "—and resisting arrest," finished the guard. "More bullshit," growled Hewey. "You really must've pissed off the Garkies, Rand. They want you gone." The wall to Random's right went transparent.
