Sell over a million dollars of programmable hover vacs in a month, get a hefty commission check, and win an all-expenses paid trip to Ubaid Space Station. I came for the extraterrestrial experience, not the poorly cooked chicken parmesan in the Earth-centric resort restaurant. So, who can blame me if I slip my leash by bribing the tour guide to let me escape yet another mind-numbingly boring museum trip?

I end up in a bar in the most dangerous sector of the Leisure Ring. I also meet the extraterrestrial of my dreams—at least, he can be for the remainder of my vacation.

Yes, he's an Okihan, known as a "fox-man" to us humans, but he reassures me that he's not a pirate. He works for the Cosmic Syndicate, all official-like.

He's charming, rakish, and probably more than a little disreputable, and I might be playing in a much larger sandbox than I'm accustomed to, but I just can't resist giving in to his flirtation.

I came to Ubaid Space Station searching for adventure, and Suda Eran promises to take me on one, but I probably shouldn't trust him, because the more time I spend with him, the more I realize that he's already stealing my heart.
