Never a dull moment on Good Ship Lasperpop.

As Kniff and Audri sat on the ramp up to Lasper’s ship, Gerek said, “Listen, Kniff. The ship I landed is over there. I parked it behind those rock bluffs.” To clarify, Kniff said, “Back behind that dust cloud?” Gerek said, “Yeah. It’s full of people here to build a new life. They have the tools and supplies, but since they were sent here against their will, a lot of them want to leave. And right now, your ship is the only option. It’d be wise to get out of here.” Kniff said, “And the dust cloud… ?” Gerek said, “A mob of them running in this direction. Fortunately, I got a head start and ran all night.” Kniff went wide-eyed and then ran into the ship, yelling, “Lasper! Thoos! time to leave! mob coming!” Gerek said to Audri, “Shall we?” Holding her hand up in a stopping gesture, Audri said, “Whoa, whoa, whoa, mister. No one’s going anywhere without giving me a hug first.”

They loaded tools and supplies on a ship to send into the sun?
A ship they were posing as a colony ship going to Huark.
The propaganda vids showed homeless people boarding the ship singing, “Hi-ho, hi-ho, it’s off to Huark we go!”
Gerek is competing with Sam Starfall for being chased by the most mobs.
Things may get ugly if he does not have enough ice cream for his mob :}
The real problem that that mob isn’t considering is that there likely isn’t anywhere near enough room for all of them on those two ships.
No, the real problem is that, as far as any individual member of the mob is concerned, there only needs to be room for *them* on the ship.
True.
That there is a mob haboob.
And she was blinded by the light
Oh, cut loose like a deuce, another runner in the night
Blinded by the light
The Springsteen original is now going through my head like a crazed mob trying to find a ship back home. It’s not pleasant in the least. Time to space. Quick quick quick quick!!!
