Dear Lady Sophia,

Last night we got word of the place the deal for the package was going down. It’s some deserted town down planet-side. Raf thinks it may be a set-up of sorts, trying to get us down there defenseless. But the rest of the crew is intent on going down. I’m taking Raf, Flora, Franz, and Joel. Well, not much else to say. Rein cooked up a mighty good meal this morning.

“Shut the fuck up,” Joel moaned under his breath.

“Negative. No one’s going back to the ship,” I said.

“You know what Franz, you’re crazy. You drag us into a ‘deserted’ town that has houses with lights in their windows and then say this isn’t a trap?!” Raf was shouting.

“Gwon nee ju jee du shu, I am working off of information that was given to me! I can’t control whether people lie to me or not!” Franz walked ahead, ending the conversation with Raf.

“Fei hua, bullshit, bullshit! You’re probably
