{"inkVersion":20,"root":[["^As you wander the docking area, swaying a little as you readjust to the inertial compensation aboard the station, a shout stops you in your tracks, and a quick about face reveals a frantic young man wearing what appears to be a dazzling, star-splattered cape.","\n","^“Oh, there you are,” he says, grabbing your hand and pulling you into the shadow of a rather dilapidated looking ship. “Thank credits I’ve found you. I’ve been looking all over for you.”","\n",["ev",{"^->":"0.4.$r1"},{"temp=":"$r"},"str",{"->":".^.s"},[{"#n":"$r1"}],"/str","/ev",{"*":"0.c-0","flg":18},{"s":["^You blink. “Uh…have we met?

From Potoo The gala? I was bartending for extra credits, and we were just chatting, and then everything was all, ‘boom! Bang!’ and everyone was running around all ‘oh, no, we’re going to die!”’ and you were all ‘just part of the human condition, am I right?’ and just straight up did a death drop into the carnivorous sand dunes after that thing with the spines! Bam! Just like that. And we all thought you were going to get eaten but you totally didn’t and I said, I said, ‘that was amazing,’ and you said ‘I know!’ And then you ordered a Calpraxian moonshine popper with ‘extra moons, please’ and a fondant umbrella and drank the whole thing? The clip got like, ten thousand hits. I’m your biggest fan!”","\n","^You…don’t remember any of that. But you do really love Calpraxian moonshine poppers, and doubly so when they’re doubled. These two things are probably related. “Oh,” you say. “Thanks, I think.”","\n","^“Oh, this is the best!” Bertie says. “I’ve been looking all over the galaxy for you, and here you are!
