Double-Blind “Date” (of Doom)

The day of reckoning had arrived, and Wolfwood was quite sad he would miss most of it. As amusing as it would be to watch his revenge scheme unfold, he was pretty sure if he was nearby and the two caught on to him, he’d be deader than dead, so the plan was simply to drop his boss off and high-tail it out of there.
Using the hacked fast travel machine, Nick was able to get the two of them on board Helios- the advanced technology evident upon arrival; something he was still getting used to. Far superior to even the lost technology left on Gunsmoke.
“Well, looks like that’s the place.” Nick looked at the note he’d scribbled down of the place Hugo had told them to meet up. Damn, he’d picked a fancy one, hadn’t he?
“Remember, you prove me wrong here, you get free meals an’ prove you’re the best servant to Master Knives. Fuck up, an’ I get time off brain-fuck free.” The last part was added quickly- seeing as the stakes were ultimately under Legato’s control in the first place. He paused for a moment, before adding. “An’ uh... keep an eye on your drink. Don’t take anything he gives you personally.” He’d persuaded Hugo against that... particular tactic (which he was still ticked about), but felt like warning the psychic jut in case. He wasn’t THAT mean.
“Well, go get ‘em, tiger!” And with a grin, he ran off to get out of the way before all Hell broke loose.
