Neptune was flung unceremoniously from the casino, he landed hard on the metal street.
"Und shtay out!" the deseck bartender yelled. Neptune pushed his white hair out of his eyes, he flipped some CCs (Confederation Credits) into his backpack.
"I already got what I want." He smiled, then headed for the docks.
He kept his head down as he passed some lounging Confederation troops and policemen, he came to a beat-up, old, galxthorican-made ship. Tuback, the tuan who owned the ship, and his five shipmates were waiting.
"Got the money?" Tuback asked.
"Got the, ah, case?" The maldos shipman retrieved a black case, Tuback took it and opened it, inside was a dull iron cube.
"One hack-cube coming up, this baby can hack into the Confederation main computers. For sixty thousand Credits." Neptune passed the Credits, Tuback handed him the case, he glanced over at the guards, they were preoccupied with an illegal slaver ship.
"If you want questionable items, Tuback is your man." Neptune grinned. He shook Tubacks hand.
"So, any trouble gettin' here?" Asked the half-xenos.
"Ran into some Confederation patrol guys, and a small pirate ship, but other then that, it was smooth sailing. How are you hildin' up?"
Neptune grimaced,
"Not to bad, but I've almost got me a room in Incarcerus. But with this," he patted the cube, "should throw the feds off my trail." The lounging officers realized that Neptune was in the shadowy nook, they grabbed their guns and ran, he saw them and jumped into hyperspace. All they saw when they got there was a small dust cloud.
