"Bring us some whiskey," Earl Riley told the serving girl as Earl and his crew settled at a table and ordered glasses and a bottle. "And I don't care if was decanted out of an old car radiator."

Janice put her head in her hands and groaned, "How are we going to tell the boss that we lost the buzzer? How in the name of all that's Holy, did we lose a buzzer?"

"Uh. They was shootin' rockets at us and all the front armor was gone and then the right side went and then we panicked," supplied Lance.

Janice raised her head to glare at the Heavy Gunner. "That was called a rhetorical question. Just sit there, look handsome, and keep your mouth shut."

When the whiskey jug arrived, Earl poured and slugged back a glass full before pouring for everyone. "All my fault. That Phoenix was down in a hole I didn't think it could get out of and I thought I had lost the Apache. Figured we could take that little Symph and circle back to pick up the Pho at our leisure . Next thing I know, here comes that Apache out of the hills, slamming rockets into me like there were radar guided, the Pho pops up like he is freakin' levitating, and even the Symph is pouring shots into us."

"Well," observed Esther. "At least we made it back alive."

"Don't depress me," growled Earl as he poured his third glass. "That just means that the boss gets to chew me up for being over confident."

Old Eagle Eyes, pulls up a stool," Let me get the next round kid.". "We all have tales of loss in the bad land, i lost 2 Buzz, and apache, fully loaded, and 8 gang members in one intense ambush. The mercy cry is nothing after you killed off their gangs a few times i guess. Come on out with Cosmic Kids, Lattes Raideers, or Longos Merry Men, anytime, we'll get them bastages back for the loss 5 times over, and score a new buzz or two fo the trouble they caused."

Janice slides Earl's whiskey glass out of his reach and pats him on the arm. "You know what Earl? I think you should listen to these guys. We still got a couple of Landy's down here fitted out with HMGs and GGs. If we went out with somebody that could cover our backs, instead of knocking off a piddly little Symph or a Phoenix, we could maybe score some serious loot. Enough to win back Boom-Boom's good opinion."

"That's right," Esther chimed in. "We got to remember this isn't like Somerset or Elms. Scouting there is a cakewalk compared to here."

Earl nods and pulls thoughtfully at his lower lip. "I suppose you all are right. I need to quit trying to be the Lone Ranger."

Turning to the veterans that had joined them, Earl recovered his glass and lifted it to them. "Thanks for getting this rookie out of the doldrums. When do you guys typically head out to scout (server time)? I'd like to arrange for us to be saddled up and ready to join you."

A horrible looking man easily recognized as the Extravaganza's Dog Boy leans up against the bartop. He picks at an oversized canine tooth and pauses.

"Doc had us move a buzz down here a couple'a weeks ago for the big twenty buzz scout, but we missed it. We'd like to take some bites out of the maggot pirates down here ourselves. We'll gladly scout with any of you fellers."

"The Whiskey Runners are in your debt," Earl replies. "We hope to repay you some day. Thank you for the buzzer."

"Welcome Doc. Did you bring the freak sideshow with you? Sure would like to see that three breasted stripper midget you have in there.....", drools Alton Hgat Velassquez heavy gunner for the cosmic kids. " Shut up and get back to bed!!", yells Eagle Eyes," Last time you got distracted cost us, a buzz, and some damn good men!" Eagle eyes mutters," Damn zerkers, can't concentrate for a minute, may be the death of us yet.. Your always welcome to scout with us Doc, now about that stripper....."

Lenore "Nevermore' Poe leans in to speak to Alton.

"Thats what we get for truckin' with those Advanced Radical Lunatics, they're the ones with all the strippers... not that Doc doesn't like the occasional peepshow. Maybe we should get one of them vaudeville burlesques goin', could bring in some nice money. Nothing scandalous of course... the Doc does things classy."

Earl nods politely to the local representative of the Crushers.  "Yes, sir.  I believe the outing with SirLatte's crews was recorded as S88352.

"The fiasco where we lost the first buzzer was S87926.  But, I don't believe it is anything for you to be concerned about.  It was just bad judgement on our part.  Going single car solo in BL,  then not checking that we really had run that Apache out past 500 meters,  then misjudging how trapped that Phoenix really was.  If we had run just another 100 meters or so before turning back to fight...well, it would have been a different story."
