So, the lone wolf we had been prepared for somehow had three equally large buddies. Those things are hard to knock out! We got to a point where I wasn’t sure that Ash would survive, and found out afterwards that Sresaka was nearly as bad off. We could have maybe kept one alive, but Ash pretty much had mashed the poor thing into the floor. Maybe not a poor thing– Widget is pretty sure it was the one that liked to bite the feet of heroic drones.
At least we get paid now. Our ship may need a few more days for upgrades, so maybe the crew will have time to relax. That’ll give me a chance to catch up on my technical journals!
