"Go on, just for the fun of it!"

The Imperial Paymaster paid SeaFire for yet another successful delivery of grain to the Sector suffering from famine. He was becoming a know n figure in those parts...

Imperial Paymaster: "Well done, Seafire, these provisions will help alleviate the worst of the famine in this Sector. You`ve been working hard and racking up a reputation with us Imperials. You may even become a citizen."

Me: "My pleasure."

Imperial Paymaster: "We have a few more jobs for you, but an especially lucrative one..." He eyes me strangely, then hits a button and the monitor flashes up showing a few desperate souls in a huddle, in a gilded cage, men and women looking forlorn.

Imperial Paymaster: "I have some indentured servants that I need smuggling past customs. Money`s good."

Me, "You mean slaves. Ah, well it`s not really my kind of thing..."

Imperial paymaster: "Go on! Just for the fun of it!"

I smile, despite my reluctance, "Yea... but not today." [praise]
