Murphy Murphy winced as the Flegg's AI 'Gonzo' clucked out the first few bars of Ray Steven's "Just us Chickens". It was the audio cue that represented an incoming call from a very short list of Priority numbers, and Murphy hated it. But trying to change it made the quirky AI and ship even less reliable...
"Flegg. Murphy."
"Murphy. Where the hell are you?"
"About halfway between Cis-Lunar and Mars, Don Antonio. With a load of manure you picked up from someone who owed you daneside for Phobos"
"See if you can scare that chicken then. Something major is going down Dirtside, and the SMOF have just called an emergency convention on Oddessy."
"And I'm the family representative?"
"As always."
"Flegg copies all Don Antonio, Flegg out."
Hear that thunder rolling till it seems to split the sky?
That's every ship in Grayson's Navy taking up the cry-
NO QUARTER!!!
