With a mighty fist, you punch the insane Leraay off of you and off the stool with your strength, causing him to go spinning the floor. Serves you right! Don't rip up my last piece of decent clothing you shit! That's how you like to handle things, the Brutus method; punch first and ask questions later! It's worked for you so far.
Just then, his friend returns, apologizing profusely.
“Come on Jakko... you're supposed to be here to relax, and maybe find a girlfriend who doesn't want to rip your dick off. Sorry mister, don't tell the security staff about him, please, he's still recovering. I'll get him out of your hair and pay for any medical treatments... Thank you.”
Finally, some peace and quiet as you sit at the station and hook up your ticket to the monitor, a high-quality data feed showing you the race. On a far away independent planet locating next to Consortium space, a race is about to take place. You see a Mime astride his Feeling-Beast, falling behind the pack. This is a very popular racing event, and you have good money on this rider. But now... he's in last place.
It is said these aliens, the Mimes, can't talk. Despite this, they are very empathetic, and they have a very special connection with these strange giant flightless birds. Riders and their mounts are said to have a special connection, wordless ability to communicate and control each other. Your high definition monitor shows you the color on his cheek pads, their way of communicating their emotions, and you see it as a light blue. Gah! Does that mean you've given up, or are you patiently waiting for your chance to run to the finish? You can never tell with these weird aliens.
Truth be told, you bet on a longshot, something that will pay out a lot if you win. But now you're not sure if he will. They seem to be hanging near the back of the racers, and you still have a chance to change your bet if you're like to someone more favored. But you had a really good feeling about this rider...
>Go with your gut
