How many wars have been fought down through history, for the sake of those two conflicting instincts?

Some billionaire tech baron owned the place, but Sumi suspected that the man who gave them their entrance codes to the estate and later paid them in unregistered cash chits wasn’t working for him at that moment. It ...was a pretty bizarre setup, with fantastic, glittering air-lock gates that looked like they belonged on an amusment station, and surreal architecture to match.

The price they got for their cargo wasn’t half of what they could have gotten elsewhere, and Allo clearly was having second thoughts about the sale.MoreLess
