| Captain Cancer's new toy |
Having not been paid for some time now,
we were anxious to get back to proper actual work. So when I got a call from
the (new) Ares Johnson, we were more than happy to meet him, even if it was, as
per normal for him, under rather odd circumstances. For starters, he’d
contacted me directly rather than going through a fixer. And then we were Meeting
him face to face at a waterfront warehouse, rather than the usual sort of
Johnson hangout. Sadly, this meant no steak, but there was more to it than just
that.
But we needed money, especially Captain
Cancer who had just blown a small fortune on buying himself an Ares Duelist
drone and an assault rifle for it. Oh, and he also bought himself a reloading
drone, obstinately so he could reload the dualist but actually so it could give
him fresh cigs while in the field. His logic was that it meant he would have
something else to protect him in a firefight, which seemed semi-reasonable.
(Anyway, his drones are now called Thinman and Runt.) Thus we agreed to the
meet, and headed towards the docks.
