How to be a Hired Gun/Mercenary

This week the class was back in the Danger Shop where it looked like it had been turned into some sort of high tech saloon with a Sci-Fi Old West theme.

Hey. It was the way of Jayne's universe. Just roll with it.

"Sometimes when you make a deal you might stretch the truth a little," Jayne said leaning against the bar. "The difference being the amount of money which can keep you running or leaving you in the middle of a xióngmāo xiǎobiàn hú xíngxīng."1

He pointed to a crate sitting in the middle of the room. "That there cargo is enough foodstuffs to feed about a hundred settlers for a year. Only catch is that every molecule is marked by the government and therefore illegal to smuggle and resell to the highest bidder. A fact you forgot to mention to your client."

Jayne then pointed at said clients. Who did not fit the space cowboy/high tech Old West theme at all.2

"And they ain't too happy about it. Your assignment is to come up with some fib to smooth it over or-"

"BECOME OUR QUEEN!"

Jayne frowned.

"What they said."

"If that's what it takes." Face sighed, dramatically. "I mean you'll have to fight my current spouse to the death first so I'm free to marry you, but I'm sure at least one of you is up to the challenge."

That was unexpected.

Still, Face rolled his eyes as if this were a thing he saw every day. Acting! "They're not here," he said. "Glarblast the Destroyer, Scourge of the Galaxy, may their wrath fall elsewhere, is back home. With the children."

Face paused, as if thinking about it. "Well, I guess there's one thing I can do..."
