Jedriek knew that four other vendors on this level would be quick to purchase their blue grass supply, and they had enough cases to sell at least a few to each one.
The Lovian's security unit however, was not going to let them get too far away.
"Where are you going?" One said that reached them.
Jedriek stood there and tipped his head to the side. "And you are?"
"Security."
"Not my security."
The guard blinked. "You need to finish your business here."
"We are done," Harbin said and started to walk by.
One of the interesting parts of being a cyborg was how others always wanted to challenge them.
Perhaps it was ego that made other humanoids want to challenge the cyborgs. Did they think it would give them some kind of rank or position against their fellow humanoids? Or did it do something to make them feel stronger?
Jedriek had never quite understood it, but he always recognized it.
Whatever it was, it happened a great deal on Disguised Serenity.
Harbin started to move past the security guards.
They stepped in his way.
"Out of the way."
"You are not done."
"We are, in fact, done." Harbin pushed through.
Jedriek saw the assault coming from his position. It took him only a few moments to intercept. Two steps and a quick arm bar and the coming assault was averted.
"What the?" the humanoid said.
"We are done," Jedriek grumbled at him. He shoved the man away.
And the humanoid brought up a blaster.
Not the best idea in the cramped walkways of the space station.
Really not a good idea against Jedriek, who was ready for it. He had been craving some physical exertion on this trip. Though he had hoped it would be from the pleasure women on the other section of the station.
A fight, however, was almost as good.
Punch. Kick.
Blaster hit the ground.
Punch. Kick.
The humanoid hurt his own hand more than Jedriek.
He made a fist, ready to punch.
Another humanoid jumped in.
