← A Pain in the Asteroids

You sigh to yourself, then dial Johnny Eyeballs on the vid phone. Johnny picks up, blinking more menacingly than ever!

“Heyyyyy Johnny!” you say, smiling sheepishly. “Listen, I was just yanking the ol’ eye-chain before. I’ll definitely give you all the holo-diamonds I stole from you. In exchange, could you get me out of this deadly asteroid field? Uh, please?”

“Send me yer coordinates,” Johnny commands. “Once I pick you up, you work for me now. Space capiche?”

“Space capiche,” you nod, emotionless. Johnny hangs up.

This is fantastic! You stole the holo-diamonds from Johnny to prove you were a worthy enough thief to join his gang, The Peeping Tomulans. Sure, you got a little greedy once you had the holo-diamonds in your possession, but who wouldn’t? Holo-diamonds are pretty and full of rainbows. Johnny will understand.

Congratulations on landing your dream job as an entry-level space mobster!
