User blog:Teelay Roof/Episode 4 & 6: victory for a Krayce!

When stealing a gun Check that it actually contains bullets.

People don't ask questions as long as you only borrow one bullet.

When you only have only one shot, a target who is completely stationary and has no idea you are even aiming for them you can afford to take a few moments to aim.

Just because people have the same kind of alien artifact you do, doesn't mean they have any idea that it contains great secrets, so asking "What was stored in yours?" kind of gives the game away.

Unlocking the secrets of a pair of strange alien balls instantly makes you the foremost leading expert on drifter tech.

It's a good day when no one nice gets shot, especially me.

When a Krayce archaeologist has two alien recording devices, enough money to get the construction of his own space station underway and another device of great technological significance and untold domestic and military potential placed into his possession.... he apparently doesn't grab everything and run for open space.

When you come with nothing but an object of no obvious application beyond being an interesting curiosity and end with two of them, enough money to leave you set for life, your own lab, a staff to command, a telepathic box to research and open a charity for an entire race of people, you can probably count yourself as having won even if your home world was ravaged by plague, struck by a meteor, and taken over by hostile aliens.
