As Rodrigo drank his drink, he struck up a conversation with the bartender and said, “Hey, I have a question for you.” The bartender said, “Shoot your shot.” Rodrigo said, “I have a couple of friends who came to Clentity and were arrested. Now they don’t seem to be held by the police, but neither do they seem to be around anywhere.” The bartender said, “Arrested for homelessness no doubt. Did they arrive with any money?” Rodrigo said, “Hell if I know. Probably not.” The bartender said, “Well, all homeless people on the planet were arrested and shipped off to planet Haurk to colonize it. It’ll be a better life ahead, trust me.” Rodrigo paused, already knowing the answer to the question he was about to ask, “You’re referring to your own life, aren’t you?” The bartender said, “Oh right. for them too, of course.” Meanwhile, out the window, unnoticed by Rodrigo, a group of Bollycks ran up to the door, unlocked it, all ran in, and shut it behind them. Uh-oh!

I see how they’ll get past the laser wall. And the other booby traps, at least until the traps run out of boobies, or the boobies run out of traps.
Rodrigo missed a whole load of Bollycks.
I’m glad you said something. I almost missed them too!
LOL this is what I get for not looking closely at the background!
and this is why I always read the comments!
Given the reaction of the Clentitian who programmed the Compassion I when he saw Gerek (01/19/26) one assumes that a bunch of Bollycks has to be a most unusual and feared sight on Clentity.
Now if only Bikkie were around to kill and skin enough laser-proof Bollyck skins for the entire party. Sure he could do only one and let them toss it back through the laser wall, but where’s the fun in that?
I can’t imagine someone so laid back that he wouldn’t be looking nervously at the door every ten seconds. He just has to turn his head. Hell, peripheral vision should have done the job.
Oh. OH! I see!
But where did a squad of Bollycks come from? Are planetary defenses so weak? Or simply disarmed? Was Gerek involved?
Too many questions. Anyway, I’ve got time to refill my popcorn bucket and get another Dr. Whatever before Monday.
I’m assuming they’re Garek’s old gang.
They might be looking for Gherek.
