numbers make my head spin.<br/><br/>I'm just going to paste this from our PM train Texas, the how-he's-there explanation:<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote">Quote</div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">Maybe the brother made a deal to pick up some "slaves" for transport to some rim planet as cheap labor, and things went south soon after they landed?</blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>The slave deal gone wrong idea sounds good to me. Maybe the contact accidentally captured someone with influence and it all tumbled downhill from there - Ky's crew were just caught in the crossfire.<br/><br/>If the captain was desperate for a mechanic at a cheap price, and Ky is desperate for a home, then seems a decent match.
