Focused in the cockpit Snake sits in his chair on the way to alpha omega space station. Geni walks up behind him and presses her small soft and firm boobs on the back of Snake’s head and doesn’t say anything while Snake looks out the space shield. They stay like this for what they wish for eternity, but the silence is broken when Mudd enters the cockpit. “How’s this one going to go you think?” he says. “Where closing in to their sector now. Looks like their giving us a green light to dock,” Snake says. The com flashes and a voice is transmitted, “proceed to docking by escort.” Two armed crafts with pulse cannons on each side of their saucers began to meet in formation on either side of the carrier vessel of our heroes. They dock and then Snake says, “I go alone.” “Come on man, what the fuck?” Mudd replies. Geni says, “This is typical of Snake, this is how he likes to do business.” Armed guards escort Snake as soon as he exits the ship as he is scanned for weapons by passing through x-rays. “All you’ll find is my dick hanging halfway down my thigh.” No one seemed amused. He mutters, “tough crowd.” The guards and people at the terminals all seemed to be human and at every door there were two armed guards. The station itself was a geometric mesh of cubular shapes imposed in a way to resemble a tetrahedron of sorts. “I am going to see the emperor, yes?” The guards did not answer. They transversed different platforms and shafts observing the the technological splendor of the station. They entered an elevator and were going to what must or seemed the way to the pire, minaret sort of the peak the station. As the two doors opened the two guards remained in the elevator then after a few seconds Snake waked out and two more guards in full red armor and capes were aside the scaffold in some nightmare of exposed heights. Then a voice, “guards leave us.” As the guards exited Snake walked past them narrowly brushing shoulders. Up a great set of stairs was a man in a darkened blue cloak. “I’ve been expecting you, Snake.” “Well what is it I’m supposed to explain here,” Snake says as he reaches the top. “You mistake me. I do not care about your little dash through station 45. I care about the so called ecosystem cosmology of space. Every ecosystem has wealth and a balance must be struck. You have been mining and supplying trade for us for years and yet you haven’t even understood what we are using these resources for. Those who understand that souls have been trapped in some of these crystals have not been a concern to you?“ “In fact yes my crew has had an incident with this.” “So you know what we do now?“ “Of all the things that can come of these resorses the last thing I excepted was this kind of phenomenon.” Snake said. After the disclosure of their studies the emperor said. “There is an ancient race we can gain knowledge of for some backwards freak accident the species mutated to mineral crystals, maybe as they transitioned into another dimension. You will report to me now on of your excursions and will be an outside consultant.”

A slow mental suicide, the way of the universe. Snake’s shot out to the kaper belt is put on hold. They chart a course to our favorite corporate space station, Barron station designated alpha omega. Rumors are that the emperor himself may be there currently. “They know we’re coming, I hope the beefed up security will not intimidate us, shields up!“ Mudd responds to Snake,”We don’t have shields.” “I know I just wanted to say that. I hope negotiations go well.”

Shaking asses for the masses. The thing on the mind was becoming half altered for Snake. “There is more to this I know, but can’t recall,” he says. Not to get to close to the flow of mind and emotions both Mudd and Snake exchange bits of information to each other. “I’ve been here a long time,” Mudd says. “Call for Geni.” Snake goes to the corridor openings to make his way to the front end of the ship. The next 6 months results in the crew not finding anything as far as mineral acquisitions, only the need to decide to call it in regards to resupply themselves at this point. They wanted to make way where they could hall in remote sectors wealth, but were just wasting their time. So the time was just a waste then? Certainly yes, unequivocally so. On the way back to a outpost station they as a group wringing their hands to failure to deep space. Mudd uttered to Geni, “It’s like we scratched on the 8 ball.”

“Ok, we are being hunted, yes,” Snake says to Mudd. “We must first think of Geni’s safety because we love her so much and I can’t live without her.” “You’re acting like a pussy, it’s hilarious.””Nuh-ah, she really likes me… she just expresses it in a way that makes no sense.””Ok thanks for clearing that up. Any way the nano dust passes in farts so we should be good in a couple days. Hopefully you can keep up some rouse to keep Geni away while we ‘yoga clense’ our selves from another errand meat modem of our thought waves if it makes any sense why us what so ever.”

“So what does this stuff do,” Snake asks Mudd. “An enchantment, straight to the brain I’m afraid. They say this dust is manufactured underneath the finger nails of some real bad people.” The two become high not knowing what to do with themselves. Snake walks to the nearest com and speaks, “Um Geni we got a situation here. Stay out of the cargo room we have some particulates that are in the room. “Well they have a way to talk into our minds now, that’s great, pure manipulation.” “That’s what it is, we will be playing the game whether we want to or not.” Geni replies on the com, “well please check in, OK?” To high to know what is going on Snake walks around in circles mumbling, “crap, shit, fuck, ass. crap-fuck, shit-shit, fuck-whoa, ass-whoa… no um fuck-ass, ass whoa. Yes yes I’m piss! Mudd nods in agreement and says,”You’re dead.” meanwhile Geni notices as she walks through the commons room the screen now was showing a picture of an 8 ball like in billiards. She says, “How do you explain that, I’m the only boss here now I feel like a pontsy asshole.”

“So I know you don’t like talking about it, but should we be worried about the next would be count abyss,” Snake says to Mudd. “I would be more worried that Dub had friends.” “Yeah maybe so.” The two figure the gold plac will be more important then just it’s weight. “Let’s remove the plac from the rock,” Snake says as he pokes around the storage cubbies and caged supplies on the wall. After cracking the rock with a hydraulic charged spike they found a cavity in the middle of the rock in the shape of a perfect cube. “How is that even possible,” Snake says to Mudd. “That was a solid piece of rock.” “I guess it’s what’s on the inside that counts.” “You mean to say we just opened up something into the air?” “I would say so, nano dust I bet. Witches.”

“OK, I’m bringing this thing in,” Snake says. He pushes the cable retractor button on his suits control panel located on the left sleeve remotely starting the crane winch slowly pulling him and the rock to the port hatch. “Mudd, grab the dolly and some beers… just kidding, but I think we can work on this thing inside.” Snake enters the hatch then hits the locking button closings the hatch. He then presses the atmospheric regulator button. Within ten minutes he is warm and ready to meet Mudd through the second hatch. Snake opens the second hatch and Mudd says,”So who is fucking with us?” “This might not be your forte or even Geni’s for that matter. It looks like a gold PLAC embedded in this rock with an inscription on it.” It reads: VII AMON.

Snake looks on from the cockpit not seeing much out there. Mudd enters the cockpit, “what do you think?“ “I’m not sure, there doesn’t seem to be many rocks out here, but the utility scanners picked up that packet… Fuk u Fuk u Fuk u, what does that mean?” “It’s just someone stomping on your nads,” says Mudd. “Well we should search the area. You take us back to where the message started. I’m going to suit up and take a look.”. Snake dawn’s the space suit and helmet with a security cable attached to his belt that feeds through a side port along with his perpulsion exsoframe that allows him to move out in space. Once the small room is decompressed the exterior hatch is opened and Snake bounces out. “I see some small groupings of rocks,” Snake says on the com. Snake gets out about a hundred meters to a rock the size of a six drower dresser. He uses the mechanical claws on the exosuit to grab onto a convexed edges, then turns the rock slowly. “Guys, your not going to believe this.”

We decided Alpha Sentara was north. The long blistering journey to cunduct business. The common quarters had screening walls for images not unlike a movie theater or TV. The idea being to set a landscape of world feeds of such a thing as a beautiful beach. As Snake, Mudd and Geni are watching a series of Earth shows that happen to be the Simpsons the screen started to flicker, then a scroll of text reading: fuk u fuck u fuk u… was repeatedly flashing in red & black. “That’s just great,” Snake stands and walks to the cpu terminal. “Yeah there is a feed comings in through the utility sensors. The local patrician has picked up an unaccountable file. My guess some rival miners in the area.”

Snake enters Geni and his sleeping quarters were Geni is reading a book in bed. “Hey doll face what do you say we do it?“ “Do what?” “Make love.” Geni shrugs “You know I don’t like being touched.” “Yeah I know but I saw you in your leotard and thought how lucky I am to have you, and was getting an erection.” “That’s sweet, but I… well, I will make it up to you sometime.” Snake leaves the room. Geni and Snake don’t often make love and Snake’s marriage seems to be based on their business partnership just as much as anything else.
