Chapter 133: A Fair Warning

Erich and his team pounded a few beers before heading off to the spaceport. For whatever reason, Mirage had begun to take her role as the infamous gangster's second in command rather seriously. Almost as if her betrayal had never happened in the first place, and the leadership of Splinter was still intact. 

The hatred, animosity, and sheer disdain that Mirage had previously shown Erich were nowhere to be found. So much so that the crew began to suspect that there really was something serious going on between the two of them. Which only furthered tensions between them. 

However, when they entered the small exploration craft that Erich had named "S'aleth's Sorrow" after his now deceased lover, Erich came to a sudden realization. His ship could only house five people, and there were now six of them. Immediately, Erich made a comment about this, trying to expel Mirage from the group as he did so.
