"Please to meet ya," Twink said.

"Geez, they didn't even give us clothes? How're we gonna
blend in without them? Got any suits spare?"

stomped out of the room.

"Any chance he'll act inconspicuous?" Twink wondered.

"Nevermind. Crank, if you will?"

"Alright," Crank said, and with a swift punching motion,

changed. We've got shopping to do."

"What about plans for the factory and colony?"

"We can't build a factory without cash," Arissa said.
"We're going to have to... WORK. Ugh."
