Better Living Infinite: Building a Brand New World

[vammy]

Interesting I wonder if they could use a extra hand. I could always use more Deimos-bucks.

Time to walk over I guess.

"Hey look, a mutie." One of the men say.
"Hey, mutie, wanna earn 400 bucks?" One of them asks, chugging on his beer.

[vammy]

Mutie.... Humans are horrible name callers.

" 400 bucks? That depends on what I need do. "

Also in the name of Deimos is a mutie?

Mutie [myoo-tee] : Common parlance for mutant

"We're with the trading team for Hecate, a small station close to the old blue rock. We need some help on the ride back, 400 bucks, how's it sound?"

[vammy]

I prefer imp but whatever.

" Sounds simple enough for me, when do we start? "

[gwebster2]

Harold grinds his teeth together and starts replacing the fuses. He had a brief fantasy of tossing the tool box to them and storming out like a hero. Instead, he yanked out the old fuses and carefully clipped the new ones back in. He plugged in his crank charge and rotated it around and around to get some manual energy going. He attempted to sync the cracking sound the crank made with the "Fix fix fix" spewing out of the mouth of one of the men behind him.

"When we're done drinking, here's a start on your fun money, get some liquid courage in you." He says, handing you thirty D-bucks

The ticker on the box eventually lights back up, the men each throw five tokens at you, cheering.

"Fixed! Work-men, box-man fix! We work till death!" One of them says as they run off.

[vammy]

Liquid courage the cheapest way to convince yourself your strong

I'll take the advice and ask the bartender for two more shots.

[gwebster2]

"Yes, box-man fix, go work now," He said, picking the individual tokens off the ground. His inner bitterness was the only thing keeping him sane. If he ever caught himself saying, 'We work till death!' he should probably leap off the cat-walk then and there. He put his tools back into the box and tossed the old fuses into some dark corner, where they collided with a small pile of even older fuses that had been collecting there for who knows how long.

He rubbed his bald head with his free hand and stood up. He did a quick recount of his tokens. One hundred and thirty-five coins. How much would that get him, anyway?

Marcus, the store bastard, always had plentiful amounts of booze and other vices for sale, along with real money he would exchange for tokens.
Along with that he also had stuff like posters, food, hats, and assorted gadgets on hand to keep the mill workers to stave off suicide.

You purchase, retrieve, and consume 30 bucks worth of booze.
What a world we live in when that equates to two small shots of half decent synthesized bourbon.

[gwebster2]

Well, until he had anything else to do, Harold might as well head down to Marcus and see what products he had to gouge. He turned and walked over to Marcus's Shop

Marcus greeted you with a grin.
"Well shit, good to see you still vertical, Harry."

[vammy]

It truly is a wonderful world.

So what is this old blue rock the traders were speaking of?

The remnants call it 'Earth', but the people of Phobos call it 'The world's biggest mistake'

[vammy]

Oh yeah Earth that place the humans trashed.

Well I guess that's enough drinking for now, it's time to meet with the yellow crew.

"Yep," Harold said bluntly.

"I'm looking for a poster to lighten up my office," He continued. "I've got a hundred and thirty five tokens," He grabbed one out of his pocket between his thumb and fore-finger.

[vammy]

" Sweet, so do you think this will be a quick trip? "

You sit in your office when Corporal Matthias walks into the office. He sips from a mug of coffee.
"Hey, Nexus! We got a surprise for you!" He says. "Head to the armory, Noah's got a present for you."

"Man, for 135, you could get a poster and then some." He says, handing you a rolled up poster. "This one's nice, it's one from back on earth."

"No, no, it'll be maybe a week."

[Josephus]

Josef pushes his chair back to stand. "Noah's been like a mystery box lately, always cooking up new devices." he says chuckling. "Welp, best see what it is." He thinks to himself, grabbing his jacket and heading downstairs.

[gwebster2]

"Well, just a poster will do for me," He said. He was finally getting around to covering up that depressing sign in his office. "How much will that be?" He asked, reaching into his pocket, feeling the loose-change jingle and clank together.

[vammy]

I sigh quickly but 400 bucks is a hard deal to pass up,

" Fine, I'll start making my way ship. The name's Gul by the way. "

I hope this is a comfy ship
