"Didn't you see the damn notice? Or do people just not care about our troops? There's an entire platoon of guards missing. And no one's doing jack shit."

"I mean, it is probably because such a large amount of the stronger members are on some random planet. Once they come back with their glorified pocket knife or whatever they are after, a search party will probably start up. The real question is, why are YOU not doing anything?"
-
"I am actually. I'm going to steal a ship, find them myself.
-
"That doesn't sound particularly legal. Tells you a lot about the law, doesn't it? I'm in, bit it'll cost you."
-
"What exactly would it cost me? Because you're volunteering. I didn't come to you and ask."
-
"I am desperately short on money."
-
"So how much?"
-
"How much are you willing to pay me?"
-
[b]He held up his hand, and pulled out a wallet. He pulled out nine intergalactic credits [/b] "This is all I got."
-
"Uh, how much is this worth in Earth money?"
-
"In dollars? Like 12."
-
"That is good for maybe ten minutes. I doubt that is what you were looking for, though. Just give me that money and some of your best gear and I'll help."
-
"Only gear I'm willing to give up us this" [b]He drew a rackety old. 357 revolver [/b]
-
"You train the dojo guard. Don't you have access to some armory?"
-
"Not for giving away."
-
"Would any of the guards that I might rescue have things to give?"
-
"If there are any to rescue, then possibly"
-
"Ok, just give me that gun and the money and I am in."
-
[b]He handed the money and gun over [/b]
-
"Great. So any idea were the guards might be?"
-
"Yeah, an island 25 or so miles to the east of here."
-
"Well then let's get going!"
-
"You wouldn't happen to have a ship, would you?"
-
"All I have is a small house, the clothes on my back, and a few guns."
-
"We'll have to steal one then!'
-
"Works with me. Where and who are we stealing from?"
