Whoops. Maybe next time, don't piss off the local fixer?

"I'm a pragmatic man, with pragmatic goals."

you don't remember what you did. maybe you missed a deadline on paying him money, maybe you caused a bit too much commotion in his protected spaces... maybe he just noticed you - and that was enough.

"You stepped, ever so clumsily, in the way of my goals."

it doesn't matter. what does matter is that Ezekiel, the rabbit demi that fixes issues, is on the second floor watching you. His gloved fingers are circling the rim of his glass, though the liquid remained untouched.

"You've wounded me. Not physically, no, but you have indeed hurt me."

He gives his cig a flick; all it took for you to be served on a silver platter.

"Now, how are you going to make it up to me?"

Ezekiel may be the newest fixer, but don't mistake his small tenure for the massive amount of power he collected. Though 'club owner' may be what he tells the skeletons of authority aboard the bolted together station, it's more accurate to call him a dealer. Information, people, products and services - anything you could want, he would most likely have (or knows somebody who did). The people who comment about him being a "walking red flag" aren't exactly wrong, but anyone worth their salt knows that it's wise not to crack that joke within his property.

"Gentlefolk, I hear that you have opinions of my root color.
Would you like yours to match mine? No? Good; less blood for me to handle."

There's three places that any 'guide' in Sector 76 will name. The place you crash, your fed's ransom loan hotline, and Emberton - not because you want to be near it, rather that you don't want to be caught in the surrounding area. The inside carries a strict no firearms policy, and guards that see all without breaking your privacy. For good reason, too - Emberton's clientele are some of the most important people you'd think of. Business pours as freely as the top shelf liquors, with governments promising to turn a blind eye for a desperate infusion of cash, all next to a B-list celebrity seeking the hottest doc.

"Oh, the big bar? I think I saw the leaders of two warring nations holding hands there."
