The Leaky Pilsner

[Yngen]

Business was good, and thats how Tex liked it.

He could see the usual gaggle of Liberty Rogue pilots cow-tow'n to a small contingent of Outcasts. The rest of the crowd were indeterminate IDs, mostly people who would rather not be known.

Everything looked as it should, so Tex continued back behind the bar and kitchen to a small alcove. Tex was looking for Mack, a fellow Junker, he needed to talk to a friend. Tex had witnessed some strange activity in Colorado from the small group of Xenos there. Normally Junkers had little trouble doing business in Colorado but of late it seemed the Xenos where improving their tactics and more dangerously, their hardware. Though some Junkers might be seen as simple minded or slow, a good Junker knows everything that happens in Liberty. And so when Tex put the squeeze on a particularly dingy Liberty Police officer, he learned of the Xeno Warlord known only as "Prospector", who was apparently terrorizing northern Liberty, some parts of California and even up in Kusari space.

"You expect me to believe them poor lil saps got themselves a Gunboat? Boah, if I had a rubba hose, I would beat some sense into ya. Xenos aint got da cash fo waad bodies."

"No, no, this one's different, they say he made some sort of deal with the Rogues...The ROGUES of all people!"

"Go own, git, ah herd enuff you ignorunt peewee."

But it turned out the police officer was right. One look at Anderus's ship and his bloody face was all it took.

Junker turf was in danger, and it was time to act.
