SHORT STORY

Published:

1994

Synopsis:
The smuggler Dannen Lifehold is only one job away from completely paying off his debts and owning his ship, the 'Lifeline', lock stock and barrel. Landing at Dohu VII, he finds only a challenge at a local cantina - a Silika named Ketna Anwa, who demands he compete in a drinking contest with him. Dannen wins. He is en route to his job when he has suddenly snatched up by bandits. He is saved just in time by Ketna's brother Klin. But now Dannen's cargo has been stolen, as well as his winnings from the contest. And to add insult to injury, the crimelord (Linkaas) he owes money to is the very same one who sent the bandits after him!! Now what?
He surprisingly finds himself a new mechanic, working on his ship as he arrives - a Tinnell named Purr. They take off for Evas, and Dannen has it out with Linkaas on subspace. Linkaas denies it all, and says Dannen now owes him 25,334 credits. Or Dannen can give him Purr as a slave. Dannen refuses, fights off Linkaas's fighters, and takes off for Alderaan....
