: I can't just let a big gang like that beat up on one guy! Let's help him out.
: Yeah! Now you're talkin'! C'mon! Raaaaagh!
*SMASH!*
Bar Patron 1: Huh?! Who the Grus are you guys?!
: It's over. Leave him alone.
Bar Patron 2: What the Grus?! *SMACK!* Aagh!
Bar Patron 1: You little bastard! You'll pay for that!
: Ow! Why, you!
*SO MUCH FIGHTING SOUND*
Bar Patron 1: Gaaagh!
: Ha ha ha! Get 'em, kiddo! *sirens and running footsteps* Huh?
: All right, what's going on here?!
: Kalymnos Sector Security Agency! Break it up right now! Stop, or we'll shoot!
: Uh oh.
*fadeout*
: All right, I think we understand the situation now. So you got yourselves involved in a little tavern brawl, eh?
: I'm really sorry.
: Ha ha ha! Well, boys will be boys, right? Anyway, it doesn't look like any of you got seriously injured. I suppose we can just let you go.
: Really? Thank you, sir!
: Hey, wait a minute, Pappas. Don't you think we ought to at least write up a report?
: Nah, there's no need for that. We're off duty anyway. All right, folks. Enjoy your stay in Kalymnos.
*With a wave, the two Security Agency officers leave*
Yuri's Combat experience increased by 20! Torlo's Combat experience increased by 20!And now, we can talk to the trader to see what the Grus happened.: Thank you very much for helping me out. My name is Paulo Marjeno, and I'm from the trade planet Kashtano, in the nation of Nova Nacia.
: That was pretty unfair of them, to pick on you like that!
: Heh heh. Yes, well, I guess that Nova Nacions aren't too popular over here, to say the least. That kind of thing happens all the time.
: How come they don't like Nova Nacions?
(ian): One hundred and twenty years ago, Nova Nacio was founded by immigrants who came from the LMC nation of Nacio. But the sector these immigrants settled into was an area that Kalymnos discovered, and had planned on migrating to themselves.
: So I guess, from the Kalymnian point of view, it's like we came in and stole the sector away from them. The two nations even fought a war over it at the time.
: Oh, wow.
: Anyway, I'm very grateful to all of you. I'd like to give you a small token of my gratitude, for helping out a fellow in need.
