Carthrat's journey into space - Round 3! Heaven or Hell!

[Anastasia]

"Yeah," he nods. "If they do, we'll have to...well, do something. Either that or we'll sit here and get screwed."

[Carthrat]

"Yeah. Slicing Gale could show up any moment. Be careful, Tir," replies Carthrat, checking his current balance.

[Anastasia]

"You be careful," he says, suddenly grim. "I'm not at risk for my life, no matter how hard they try." Recallling a week ago solemnly, "Get her out of there tonight, Rat. If we have to show down Slicing Gale here, it'll be a catasrophe."

[Carthrat]

"Yeah," replies Carthrat, softly. "I'll be seeing you."

[Anastasia]

With that, the vidscreen goes dark. It's just yourself at the moment, now.

[Carthrat]

Carthrat stalks back down to the market area, grabbing a burger and munching on it.

He looks around for a military excess place..

[Anastasia]

The 'burger' you get isn't beef by any means, but it's not really bad. Just oddly different and gamey. Anyway, you do note a general sales s hop that deals in legal weapons.

[Carthrat]

Carthrat strolls into the gun joint, and looks for.. a motion scanner.

[Anastasia]

It's a smallish store packed to the gills with hopefully reliable gear - mostly weapons, but a few other things as well. But alas, a motion scanner like you seek is not among the goods offered.

[Carthrat]

"What sort of dump doesn't have a motion scanner?" mutters Carthrat, looking around for any items of particular note.

[Anastasia]

It's mostly discount and used low grade energy weapons, stun lasers, a few actual bullet or projectile firearms, and so forth. Also, there is a nice military belt, with twelve small pouches to carry ammo or supplies in.

[Carthrat]

Carthrat grabs the belt and hunts down a few knives, in the combat, throwing, and swiss variety.

[Anastasia]

You end up with the belt and five knives, all of passable quality. Nothing great, but certainly usable. The owner behind the counter keeps an eye on you, a bulky looking alien with green skin and more scars than you can count. Looks like an ex-merc.

[Carthrat]

Carthrat skips all the expensive energy weapons and starts poking around the projectile area for some good, solid, preferably Earth-build .45 caliber pistols.

[Anastasia]

It's not a big pile - nothing Earth made, but plenty of usable guns. A .45 or so is easily procured, as well as up to 150 bullets.
