Officer Midori Aoi of the InterStellarPolice was not a happy person. For the thirty-fifth time in as many days, that horrible, no-good, evil, nefarious, criminal pirate Natsuko had given her the slip. And she found herself slinking back into the station in a tattered uniform, reeking of smoke and vegetable material, thoroughly downtrodden and depressed. But by no means out. She<em>would</em>find the evil pirate Natsuko, and she<em>would</em>bring the devious miscreant to justice. She swore it every day.<br/><br/>But right now she was more concerned with the loud voice of her Captain "inviting" her for a chat in his office.
