Light shivered at the thought of a bank vault that was open for the looting, and the series of events that must have happened to make it so. He was curious as to how the surface of the planet looked now that tragedy had befallen the citizens there. He could only conjure up a few pretty pictures from tourist adverts pinned to various lavatories offered for free around the city.

Then he received a surreptitious message from Senjen and honestly didn’t know what to reply. Eventually he thought: [i]“There is nothing about this that I’m completely ‘fine’ with. But it doesn’t feel like we have much of a choice. This lady could terminate our contract with FGC today if she wanted; then where are we? We can’t survive just waiting for Jess to come up with another job.”[/i]

Finally, after a few moments of contemplation he returned to face Vitality. “We’ll do what you ask, ma’am. But your drone has to give us the location of the vault once we are safely on the surface of Veppecantel. It may take some time for Seraphim to complete her mission, and it seems to me that conditions on the ground could change quickly. We need time to plan how we extract our payment before we leave.”
Vitality harumphed, before consulting Ruk.

“You vouch for them?” Their friend hesitated. This really wasn’t anywhere near her comfort zone. She stared at them both in turn for a second.

“Yeah, I do. As vagabonds go, these two are good.”

Vitality nodded. “Very well. It is agreed. Go and get checked out. You leave in two days.”
