Good Runners pay attention, bad Runners pay.

We opened our last crate of foodstuffs only to discover the entire crate spoiled and unusable. Last time we ever buy from Spenser.
We're days out of anywhere, even with jumps I'm still too weak to manage. The nearest spot is Rigon, several days away. Xylos would be closer, if it wasn't a chunk of rusted scrap and busted bolts hanging in the airless night.
It's easy to lay blame here, but it won't save us anything. We've got a few days of protein shakes left, and some of the supplies I've picked up from various ports. Caban says we'll make it, and there isn't much else to do but believe him.
