ΜØŦĦ€Ř Đ€ΔŘ is a sims story in which the motherplant isn’t a captive in crater lab, but a crime boss residing in her own fortified lair. To achieve this end, I transplanted the Strangerville mystery ...
Gavin: “Just the Fangs. Were you hoping Godmother was open for you to negotiate for more privileges or afraid she might have sent us to finish you off? That’s not our job. Mom has other, more specialized minions for either of those tasks.”
George: “None of which she adores as much as her Fangs, though.”
Gavin cannot help but notice half of a question mark following the statement. He doesn’t comment on it, but instead casually takes a seat in front of George’s trailer.
“In trouble? Nah. More likely he defected. Again.”
“Agree to disagree, but that’s beside the point. You will want to help me, because I have Godmother’s favor.”
“Prove it!”
“Doubting mom’s love or the kids’ dedication to their family? In any case, foolishness is a privilege of youth, right? You, dear Captain, must feel real young right now. Here - have a look at this!”
“The fruit! Godmother gave you one without forcing you to consume it? She gave you a choice?! AND let you walk away with her gift after you refused to eat it?”
“Grudgingly, like any parent whose career advice gets turned down.”
Not for one moment does George consider that Gavin might have stolen the fruit. That would have meant Godmother’s security was compromised to the point of her empire collapsing any minute now and of that he’d heard.
“Tell you what, Captain Cahill: Certainly you must have made an enemy here or there? You can have the fruit, to use for whatever purpose. On top of the normal charges for passage on your Old Penelope.”
“Tempting, Captain Dree… Alright! Pries and Whitaker will give you a ride. But do you even have an idea where to go?”
“Yeah. R6 can track the Black Fang as long as she doesn’t hyperjump, and so far she hasn’t done so. Looks like Hank is headed for Batuu.”
“Ah, makes sense. Whether Hank got abducted or ran off with your ship, Black Spire Outpost on Batuu is the closest rundown settlement where the only question people ask is “How much?”.”
