Turn 0: First ContactFrom here.
What in th- This is very muchly a con. And everyone's falling for it. "Six days rations for risking life and limb, something expected, but then what about survi-" ...Oh great.
Catherine looked at the rest before continuing.
"Ahem. Sorry. Small question. I mean, if we find anything not bolted down or possessed by any of our people, it is free for the taking?
