There are, Darjak mused, a million ways to die in outer space.
From explosive decompression and gamma ray inundation to
technical failure leading to all manner of gruesome deaths, there was
no end to the ways one could meet their maker in the vast celestial sea of
stars.
But out of all the many ways to die, the only one he truly feared was
death by boredom.
He sat at the console of his small cruiser, the Dauntless. Skrozy had
promised him a new contract days ago but had yet to deliver. Darjak had
gotten tired of hanging aimlessly about Zardoz Space Station and Refueling
Center. He was a people watcher, but even he got tired of just sitting around
waiting for something to happen.
So he’d decided to launch his ship and cruise to the next sector, just to
pass the time until Skrozy got a hold of him at last. Now he was regretting
that decision as he stared at the stars streaking past as he moved faster than
the speed of light.
A blue light flashed on his console. He reached out with his crimson
digits and tapped the button beneath the blinking orb, his heart soaring for
joy.
“Skrozy, finally,” he said. “I’ve been wasting my time sitting around—”
“Congratulations! You’re the winner of the Kaltock Foundation’s Grand
Sweepstakes! Just enter your credstick information so we can deposit the
funds—”
“Frife damn you spammers!” he howled, slamming his fist down on the
button to cut the communication. “It’s been three full days since I killed
anything. I need some action.”
His blue light lit up again, and he almost didn’t push the button to connect
the call. Probably another spammer. But it might be Skrozy, so he sighed and
punched the button.
“What?” Darjak growled into the quiet of his ship as he answered the
comm.
“Is that any way to talk to the guy who just landed you the biggest
contract of your life?”
“Skrozy, if this is another bail jumper I’m going to—”
“Yes, yes, I know. I’ve signed my death warrant or something like that.
Anyway, don’t you want to hear about the contract?”
“How much does it pay?”
“A million credits.”
“You’re lying.” Darjak snorted. “No bounty is worth that much unless
I’m hunting down Korgin the Skull Basher, and even I’m not crazy enough to
tangle with him.”
“Darjak, the Array have been spotted in your sector.”
