You've spent the last five years scrimping and saving, but you've finally saved enough to buy a battered, beat up old trading ship. Finally, you can leave the stinking, overcrowded city of Mega New York behind you and head off for a new life among the stars as a space trader!
The good ship Pollywog requires three crew members to keep it flying - you've hired Mistress Yung, a tiny but tough looking Japanese woman, and Sasha Input, a frail, pale and hyper intelligent young woman from the famously intelligent Data Tribes of Neo-Norway. With Yungs combat skills and military experience, and Sasha's intelligence, you're sure the three of you will be able to overcome any obstacles.
You spend the last of your money on a cargo of panda meat and a full tank of fuel, and strap yourself into the captains chair. Mistress Yung ticks off the countdown from her seat to your right, and you blast off into the heavens, smiling as you leave the overcrowded earth behind you.
Sasha turns to you from her station at the left of the cockpit, and asks you in her clipped, nasal accent where she should set a course to. You scratch your head. Hmm, maybe you should have thought of this earlier. |
