Heck watched as his two crew mates left back for the loading docks. He knew Bethesda was just chomping at the bit for the pink haired girl and if he couldn't turn it around soon she was going to just knock the girl out and drag her back to the Corsair like a primitive caveman might. But Heck was a hustler and already his mind was devising another plan. He finished his drink and then set off for the market place.<br/><br/>Heck made good time through the shoulder to shoulder thick crowd that filled the busy intergalactic marketplace. He kept his eyes peeled for just the perfect item, when he saw it. Heck strode into the rug shop and flipped through several of the large alien fiber area rugs that the salesmen had. When he found one with an ample about of Pink Bothemian silk in it, he haggled and got it for a good price. Heck rolled it up and flopped the 6 foot carpet over his shoulder and set for his next stop. This was the pharmacy and when he arrived he greeted the pharmasist with a casual smile.<br/><br/>"Hey there, I gotten myself into a bit of a pickle. You see I took a job that requires me to ship Hargan Goats, you know the big bastards with the ill temper. Well anyway as it turns out the get wickedly space-sick and I need something to sedate them. But pills won't do, they won't let ya anywhere near them, so I was wonder what sorts of tranquilizer guns you have?" Heck asked and was pleasantly surprised when the man came out from the back room with exactly what he needed. The tranq gun was small enough to fit in his jacket pocket and so with this transaction finalized he set off for his next stop.<br/><br/>Finally he made his was to the food section. Here he purchased to portions of exotic foods, and a large hermetically sealed bottle of the same kind of booze that the pink haired girl had ordered in the bar, when he'd offered to buy her a drink. 'That should just about do it' Heck thought to himself as he left the market and headed back toward the loading bay.<br/><br/>He saw the dockmaster and started off straight toward the man, he could already see the anger look on the man's face and new this was going to be the hard part. "OOOOh no! NOT YOU AGAIN! You know you got me in really big trouble , that woman damn near bit off my head!" The dockmaster protested.<br/><br/>"Hey yeah, I am REALLY sorry about that! I tried flirting with her and she totally blew me off...it was a bad scene man! But as you can see I've got some gifts for her, I plan on apologizing and trying to make it up to her, can you help me out? Please I just need to know where she's got that Hell's Gate ship docked!" Johnny asked.<br/><br/>"NO WAY, You just end up getting me screamed at again....Just leave the poor girl alone already will ya?" The dockmaster said in a dismissive tone.<br/><br/>"Hey man, I am sure you've made mistakes with ladies in your life....Just gimme a chance to make it up to her PLEASE! Look if she doesn't want to talk to me I will leave it at that and never speak of her again OK? Here, take this for your trouble!" Heck finished, handing a hundred bucks to the guy. The dockmaster hesitated but only briefly, soon Heck was off in the direction of her ship.<br/><br/><br/>Heck walked up to the sealed ship's door, He reached up and pressed the external intercom, making sure to fix his hair so he looked presentable when the camera clicked on.<br/><br/>" BBBBUUUZZZZZZ...........Ahhh Hey....It's me....Captian Heck Nagus again! Yeah we met in the bar and kind of got off on the wrong foot and I feel really bad about it! I was just intimidated by your beauty and I guess I really blew it.....Sorry about that, but I like a chance to make it up to you....I bought you this rug....I know how dank ship's interiors can be and I thought you might like it....You think maybe you could open the door and let me in....I am kinda embarrassed about  standing out here in the loading dock and baring my soul to a camera.....I got some booze and some really great food??!!" Heck said, letting his best apologetic smile creep on to his handsome face.
