'''En route to Paquin'''<br><br>
  
We’ve flown to Ghost and loaded the cargo and we’re turning around for Red Sun.  Once we deliver the cargo to Paquin and get paid—with a hefty bonus if we get there early—we will fly on to Greenleaf to take Lanie home.  We have twenty souls on our ship and fifteen of them are partying like there’s no tomorrow, joy overflowing in their freedom from sexual bondage.  The passenger deck is like Mardi Gras and for the most part we leave them to it, glad ourselves that they are happy with their lot.  For the initial three days of our journey, everything is A-OK, give or take a few bumps.<br><br>

Beglan, for one, seems uneasy with all the women aboard our ship and though he’s polite, he turns down the women’s offers for a little fun time in the sack.  One can’t quite tell if it’s virginal jitters or something else that makes him blush and walk away. It’s not something we can quiz our crewmember about and the women do not persist, not when it becomes clear that Arden is quite willing to take up the slack left by Beglan. <br><br>

It takes a little time but the crew revives and we get the news: everyone on ''Equinox'' and ''Lagniappe'' has been rescued alive.  We’ve survived to live another day, given another lease on life. Even our cat—though how many of his nine lives were spent to reach this day is a number known only to him.<br><br>

And though we still have our ship and our shuttle, we are not sure what lies ahead.  We have no fuel to fly.  We haven’t the cash to effect repairs and we have less in the way of prospects.  We still have cargo to deliver to Paquin but given the extreme heat suffered we do not know if it has survived.  We still have Lanie to deliver to her parents in Greenleaf, though her reception is still uncertain and we cannot hope for monetary reward. <br><br>

Even so, we are all alive.  And for now, it’s enough.<br><br><br>
