Romantic intrigue for the Cajun Caitian.

Zaphod found a comfie chair to curl up in for the debriefing. The past few hours had been the most exciting he had had in a very long time. Just as he expected, his crew mates busted into the laboratory and freed him from the clutches of the mad scientist. He really appreciated the rescue. This group of mercenaries were turning out to be good people and good friends. They found a few answers, but also more unanswered questions. The old man it turns out was a robot, and was in possession of Joe's ODRI. This allowed the old man to fool him into coming to the lab. But, the question was; who was controlling the old man and the other robots? Several of the group had been injured, but everyone was being patched up at the hide out. Zaphod himself sustained a broken paw. Joe told him all about the mission to the space station, and he told Joe of Savoy's message to meet her. Everyone started making individual plans to accomplish their missions. Joe assigned Zaphod and Troy to sabotage the security systems for the warehouse. Zaphod came up with an idea to hack into the stations main computer to mask the team going into the warehouse. But to do this, he would have to gain access to the main frame. He thought about the little barmaid he had met at Greedo's. If he could get her to let him into the bar's computer, he might be able to upload a set of algorithms to allow the team to enter unobserved by the stations security systems. If Troy could make some badges for the team, Zaphod could link the badges into the systems to make the team invisible to security. He had done this on the space station K12 to.. liberate a few cases of Romulan Ale to sneak to Bulls Head. The masking technique had worked that time, so maybe it would work again. He didn't like the idea of using the cute little barmaid for his ill gotten gains, but he would try to make it up to her. When Joe dismissed the group, Zaphod went into the still trashed washroom and freshened up, then headed for the lifts to the promenade.

 

As he headed up to the promenade, Zaphod stopped at a kiosk and bought a dozen purple Rizan roses, and a box of hand dipped chocolates. “The world loves a bastard.” He grinned, lit up a spiced cig and headed towards Greedo's. .
