LPI just had a cardi smuggler get away with it

The man looked sick as he woke up on a bench near the public transport zone, blinking grogily he looked at his handheld...

Quote: I bid half a sandwich.

He blinked a few times sleepily, the aftermath of drinking so much so very noticable...

I bid 1 million credits for it.

-Unknown

i bid a ride to los angles in my ship, a bottle of my best product, and of course, ten credits.

and yes, the drink is a hell of alot better then the recycled urine they serve on newark.

you still in the bar?

I bid 3 kusarian geisha? *hic!*

I bid over a ton of boron, one slightly paranoid Samura rep, and a cursed alien artifact.

As a member of the Interspace Neuralnet Division, and therefore a major shareholder in the workings of Newark Station, I am interested in what exactly my cut of the deal will be.

Deep within the confines of Newark Station, lights blink on and off in a rapidly increasing staccato of light and noise, the information data-miner registering an influx of tagged entries for perusal.

"Sale of Newark", and logs of vid-com addresses and addressed as well as transcripts of the vid-coms themselves are collated, read, analysed, and put into a folder labeled "concern.future.reference."

By themselves, the entries were nothing. But the data-miner was programmed to gather a whole heap of "nothings", so that out of nothing, something comes. What does this something mean? The data-miner didn't care. It continued on monitoring the neural net.

In the Deep Space Engineering office block of Newark Station, a confused shift manager worries about his livelihood a short minute after the arrival of a memo to his terminal is announced by an throaty, apathetic, and much too synthetic voice. He waves a nearby accountant over:

"Dicky, what you make of this?"

The two frown in unison at the screen.

"Think we should start packing?" Richard eyes the side of his bemused coworkers head as it insistently faces the memo.

"That would be dumb, wouldn' it?"

"I 'spose." The accountant sighed, shrugging off his worries, and sat back down in his Calcotronic cubicle with a final mumble before the keyboard tapping resumed. "I wish I was a lion tamer."
