Taffic is released from prison

[Taffic]

Scene: Secret Base in Corcovado Ice Field

Richard Tyler Ive been working off your ships original telemetry readouts & you aint gonna like this Taffic. They removed your 4 Kraken Turrets, 2 Nomad Blasters, damaged your power cables on the stern side confiscated your V-Nom power cell which if my servo-droid is correct means youll have to ditch that transport shield. How you find the cell?

Taffic I picked up some dumb Order rookie in an escape pod clutching that V-Nom cell. Also picked up his black box which showed he ran and left 3 others to die, I kept both & handed him back to the Orisis. Ill miss that shield, but right now I'm just glad to be out of the stir.

Richard Tyler Done my time so I understand. Don't think fool traders bear you any pity. Back to business - they also ruined 6 integral circuit boards & 7 non-essential, smashed your monitors, cut up your mattress, broke your dry showerleft several viruss that we needed specialist help with from Mactanhere is the billremoved 3 tracer bugs

Taffic bill for that as well Rogue?

Richard Tyler Yup, in all The Fat Cow took a beating & lets put it this way they know where your secret compartments are. Hey Taff why you call her the Fat Cow?

Taffic I was thinking of my missus at the time

Richard Tyler Ha Ha. Bit of a Fat Target as she stands. Ha Ha.

Taffic Shut it Rogue

Richard Tyler Err movin onThe TRF is gonna take a few weeks to repair, I've added a CD to her as per your spec and we still have the nanobots removing that biological crap those LSF bastards left in there - you seen Carlos?

Taffic I havewhen I gave him the ship authorisation codes I never knewmy word Rich

Richard Tyler Well its still your doing, dickin' off that magistrate & his donut cronies. Carlos will recover but he might be impotent and hell always have that scarring. Somebody took real personal offence to you Taffic!

Taffic Yeah, overstepped the mark. They put me away for 6 months for withholding evidence on Trilliums lot, but the real reason Im in this crap is cause I abducted this young toff in an AT on his way to The Shetland 2 months prior, ransomed him off - done deal. Thought my contacts would keep quiet but somebody talked; Cardi depravation can do that to a man.

Richard Tyler Wed kill a man for that

Taffic Oh he was spacedmade him watch his son & wife go 1st - got the vid if your not busy later.

Richard Tyler Shouldnt play dangerous games with grown-ups.

Taffic Had it comin. Anyway this toff was only Magistrate Owens nephew which is why they threw me into Huntsville with all those Xeno losers as payback. Cost me 100k to get moved to Sugarland and muck in with your lads. Jersey & North Dallas was teaming with spy bots when I got out which is why I got Bill Munyon to organise my transport here.

Richard Tyler Junker wouldnt survive 48 hours in Huntsville & we read Bills report. You gonna stay on Montezuma or take up Dylans offer on a loan? I know you have plans

Taffic Gonna make some queries on the qt. I never clicked with Trilliums lot and Ill need to pay about 2 million to the bigs in Trafalgar to fully clear my name. A Junker formality, but fixers will want their cut. When done, Ill make The Fat Cow operational again & then look for where its soft and populated by dumb ass Indie Traders
