In retrospect, I probably shouldn’t have taken Shotglass up on his offer to try his latest drink creation, the Rostov Hairball. I hadn’t rolled into a briefing with a hangover this bad since my academy days. I’m starting to think that he substituted rocket fuel for the vodka he swore he’s using.
Thank God that pure oxygen still works as a hangover cure. Otherwise I probably would have been puking in my helmet when we had to engage a bunch of Salthi while flying through yet another asteroid field halfway to our target. At least Ice and I were able to make short work of the annoying pests before moving on to the actual target.
The cats must have wanted this Ralari to stay safe pretty badly, because they’d surrounded her with a quartet of Jalthi. Not sure if that was the best choice, given that a Raptor can play Boom & Zoom games with a Jalthi all day long, but that’s what they went with. Ice and I did our part, the Jalthis died, and then the Ralari went. I definitely didn’t celebrate with another one of Shotglass’s concoctions once we were off duty.
