Pherral and Maat find themselves on a rogue planet, you know… Pherral’s preferred haunting grounds. It’s brisk business as usual except for a few surprises thrown in. There’s a stowaway onboard Aureus and it changes everything. And as if that isn’t enough, Pherral’s latest client is more than a little interesting. Looks like Sanguine Fen is turning out to be more exciting than the quick transport job Pherral planned.

They were amusing themselves by watching an iron turtle demolishing a blood shrew nest and making a meal out of the inhabitants when Pherral spotted his contact. The distinct iridophore marking on the Cirrina’s fourth arm verified it. The fluorescent blue ring pulsed as he approached, and the pathway cleared.

The Cirrina scuttled across the room, alternating between arms propelling itself across the floor. Pherral kept one hand on his weapon, firmly gripping the holstered phaser.
