RAC IC for The Warrant

NICOLA & SOL

Dear captain, I have a favour to ask of you and Sol.

SLINGERS

Please hear me out, darlings. We have a non-paying assignment that I have accepted. Given the situation in the agency I know this isn't ideal, however the director needs someone to look into Mara, and given that it was our crew who spotted her last time in TJ I feel we have an advantage.

Before proceeding, please be advised that this job requires your discretion, we will be stepping into Santa Muerte's territory, and they have not forgotten our transgressions. We are to gather information, our cover will be signed off by Director Phan. As far as others know, the Sling is having an "official vacation".

We leave tomorrow.

WINSTON

Will you remain at the HQs while we deal with this?

So these two guys are out in the wild, back on earth. They're tired and hungry and they come across some tracks.

"Those are bear tracks," one of them argues, absolutely certain. "I want dinner, not to be dinner."

"No, those are pig tracks," the other insists, "and I want bacon."

They're both adamant in their positions and so sure that they're right that they stand there arguing for over an hour.

That's when the train hits them.

EUPHIE.

You were on the news?

NATALIE.

I heard about the publicity mess outside HQ. How are you holding up?

SOL.

Hey, you.

Does the name Sarah suit me?

2am questions when I'm bored and can't sleep.

I have this terrible feeling I'm jinxing us by saying it but...

It's quiet. Too quiet.

Jesus fucking Christ, when I'm ninety I hope I'm that spry. I'm not that spry now.

Don't worry, folks, more physically inclined members of my ship are still after the infamous Nettie Black. Ninety fucking years old!

[Whiskey Sour]

I know I haven't talked much about it.

But thank you. I'm sorry I didn't

I'm starting to get used to cat fur being trapped in my whiskey. There's something wrong with that.

[Rene]

What are you doing?

All right, folks, we got Apollo, big nasty threat that he is! Well done. Top notch.

Now how about we do something about that missing ship and crew whose captain's grave is probably somewhere out in space missing vital organs?

I mean, we can spare three ships to Venus, but one of our own is missing and we're like, nahhh, that's fine.

Sending a great message, HQ.

SLINGERS

Hello darlings, Friday should be game night, and the 15th you should all be— next Tuesday you have the day off. I recommend getting some fresh air and sun, I’m sure our medics will agree.

WINSTON & MATHIAS

Please, make sure that Jude is taking care to exercise his injured hand.And could one of you—
