(sorry, ended up having too much brandy too early in the day)


At 14:30, thirty minutes later than expected, the Timeless Shadow arrived at the embassy. She had been involved in a crisis meeting with the Natopian cabinet with regard to the Euran war.

*After, another night in the Embassy and a breakfast of cider and fried deep-sea tendril creatures, the MoMA let out a contented belch and passed across a piece of paper to the freshly returned Timeless Shadow, who still looked suitably horrified from having walked into the spectacle of watching Thorgils' efforts at cracking open the fried membranes of one of the aforesaid tendril creatures (which tastes, incidentally, of something peculiarly close to chicken - but then doesn't everything).*

The Timeless Shadow read through the document and sighed (as inaudibly as she could). The cabinet meetings had become so tiring and long with the Euran war brooming, with the Natopian protectorate of Athlon deciding to go their own way with the same war, and with growing discontent within the Bovic church. She had no time for clerical mistakes in papers prepared. Although everything looked fine, it was only the matter of price to be settled.

"Sir.... the agreed price was 18 Banshee cruise missiles. The contract you've proposed does not quite accommodate for that. Can we please rectify?"

Madam, there is no need. I have a bill of lading for the 18 long drainage pipes you previously stipulated. These amount to the cash value cited and are currently being loaded by one of our subcontracted haulage firms onto a freighter in Mesor bound for the colony in Ura'Bos. Agricultural supplies from Amity or something similar, if memory serves. Once you sign I will make this over to you.
