Can’t you just feel Flagg spitting on his vidscreen as he screams at Simon? Spitting mad, ladies and gentlemen, that’s what it looks like.
Security Agent Captain Cassandra Quinn is on assignment to the mining outpost Luna Seven amid rumors of pirates near the outpost. On her approach to the complex, she saw something moving around on the surface of the moon that shouldn’t have been. During her attempts to verify her visual sighting, a mysterious ship blasted her out of the sky. Her story starts HERE.
Meanwhile, miner Simon Tripline is waking up and getting ready for his day while the morning news mentions rumors of piracy surrounding the disappearance of a shipment of ore from Luna Seven. As Simon walks to work, he sees something strange through a porthole. Meanwhile, Simon’s suspicions are aroused concerning Vin Sinclair, one of Luna Seven’s top drillers. Is there a dark secret to his success? The mechanic seems to suggest so, offering a little evidence to go with it, just in time for Simon’s eyes to play tricks on him again. Simon’s story starts HERE.

Methinks he is very much NOT listening to Flagg! This is getting mighty good – I can’t wait to see what Vin is up to. Great to have MT back!
Oh no! No insurance. Think of the fragile digger, Simon.
Yeah, I don’t think I’d listen to him either, Tom. Still, Flagg is probably not the guy you want mad at you.
Sardtok – I know, right?
That is one gaping maw on poor ‘ol Flagg there. I feel sorry for that guy. He is just trying to do his job. Just trying to make his way in the world.
What amuses me about Flagg is that – minus the misogyny – he’s probably a half-decent manager when things aren’t spiraling wildly out of control. Of course, isn’t that the test of management – any idiot can keep things on an even keel when all is smooth sailing. How do you fare in rough seas? That separates the captains from the cabin boys, donnit?
i hope Flagg will some day get some day off.he’s always under pressure trying to sort the stuff for TLS wich in return not even take care of the equipments proper insurance…no wonder hes got so few hair on his head and is constantly mad at the pilots…what he’d need is a robot wich gives useless advice just to dive him crazier and as company
…
Heh, yeah I have some sympathy for Flagg too. But only some. Well, he can (hopefully) someday look back on this as an incident that taught him some valuable lessons…
Great to have the story back. Looking forward to whatever comes.
I wonder if men like Flagg ever learn anything? I’d like to think so, but some folks are impervious. Ever argue with an ideologue? Oi, frustrating.
Love the look on Simon’s face – Well done
For full spitting mad effect – “Ensign Ogden?! Engage Photoshop spit paintbrush… now!”
