Nelson's

[Darkard]

**Time Passes**

It had been a little while since the bar was reopened. Visitors were still rare, too rare to be making any real money. Right now a lone Molly sat in the corner booth nursing a glass of whisky while two scrap miners discussed the days haul on one of the center tables.

McMillan was at the bar talking with Nelson.

"An' they jus' stopped comin'?" said McMillan

"Yeah, one day the Buc's were here making a mess and th next there was a Pirate news broadcast about how they had disbanded. Strange realy, I thought they were here to stay"

"Hmm, they wer' good customers too" Mused McMillan. The Buc's were a loud bunch, but they knew when to call it a day and how to keep in the good books of the right people. "Have y' been keeping up t' date on things around 'ere then?"

"You pick up bits from other barkeeps and traders" Replied Nelson

"Anythin' I might need t' know?"

"Council sightings in the border systems, new pirate group, nothing you wont know from Congress files I imagine."

"Those Pirates, Indians they called? What they like?" Questioned McMillan, as he took a mouthfull of his pint

"Not sure to be honest with you, they dont visit the bars much apparently."

"Keep an ear open for me Nelson will ya'. I need t' know more about 'em"

"Of cource Boss"

McMillan and Nelson both looked casualy around the bar. Topics of conversation had dried up and the pair dropped back in to familliar silence that often accompanyed them in the bar these days.
