Captain Petrov's ship, the Scow, was robbed.
"I already interviewed an ex-pirate about the robbery. But she was as reliable as good coffee around here."
"So you were there when it went down? What were you doing there?"
... Player Response
[Lie] I was making a delivery. Wrong place, wrong time. Why do I get the feeling you're often in that situation?
[MQ202:420?] [QE275] I was the one robbing him. Whew boy.
Anything you tell me as a source - I won't reveal. But there's limits to my journalistic integrity.
But I've heard maybe the Captain had it coming.
That's not really relevant. But I was there.
  • [male?] Well, then, let's continue Mr. Not Really Relevant. [or]
  • [female?] Well, then, let's continue Ms. Not Really Relevant. [or]

In my imagination you were delivering a singing telegram.

  • [MQ202:420?] "Tell me about this Captain Petrov. I've heard he was a bit of an eccentric."
"What was your impression of him? You did meet him before he died?" [or]
  • "Tell me about this Captain Petrov. I've heard he's a bit of an eccentric."
"What was your impression of him?"
... Player Response
Petrov was a hoarder and liked to collect anything strange or unusual. I would've loved to have seen it. I'm sure it would make a good story right there.
He had more credits than sense. Real full of himself. With bona fides like that he should run for office.
He was a character all right. I liked him. Charlatans and con men need to be likeable for their marks.
"No one seems to know exactly what was stolen. But everyone agrees it was valuable."
"Care to shed some light on it?"
... Player Response
[QE211] Beats me. I got out of there as quick as I could. I don't blame you.
🗣︎ [¬QE250?] [QE250] A giant golden statue of a giraffe. Sure, right. Try again. What was stolen?
[QE250?] [QE212] I'm telling the truth. The statue was huge. It had emerald eyes. It was the craziest thing. I... huh. I guess, it takes all types?
[QE213] It was an unusual Artifact dug up on some planet. Artifact, you say? I've been hearing whispers about those lately.
"Last question. About, and I'm quoting "a zoo gone wild.""
"The other source swore up and down that alien creatures got out of their cages and went on a rampage."
"Please, please, please tell me she was telling the truth? It's got to be some Aurora induced hallucination."
... Player Response
[QE221] That's 100% correct. Some days, it is worth it to get out of bed. I love it.
[QE222] Don't believe everything you hear. I knew it was too good to be true. Oh well.
🗣︎ Why do you want it to be true? You mean besides the ratings? I just want to live in a galaxy where eccentric millionaires have out of control zoos.
But - just give it to me straight. Zoo: fact or fiction?
[QE299] "This is just a plain old good story. Check the newsfeed for it later."
"And here's your payment."
