 Voice:  Hello, mechant trader Havoc, and welcome to Serendipity.  This
	is ground control.  Our scanners show that your ship has under gone
	so battle damage.  Do you require assistance?

 Havoc:  Uh, that's a negative.  The Improbable is a tough ship.  It'll take
	more than a few, uh, pirates and an emergancy jump to take her down.

     V:  Your ship has a strange configuration.  However, we are a neutral
	port, so as long as your credit is good... Can you lock onto our
	landing beacon?

     H:  Yes.  I have a lock and and activating the automatic landing computer.
	By the way, you know where I could get a stiff drink?


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

	Later, after Havoc deals with the port authorities, Havoc has a few
minutes to himself.

     H:  'Oh, boy.  Ok, don't panic.  This is just like any other planet you've
	been on.  You buy low, sell high, and make alot of money.  You've got
	a ship full of useful equipment.  You've got a ship and a whole new
	universe at your finger tips.'  *Havoc leans back and runs his fingers
	through his hair*  Computer, highest level security, code A is in
	in effect.  *He leans over, opens up a locker in the wall, and pulls
	out a anti-grav suitcase*  'Good thing I always keep a stash of gold
	with me incase I need quick cash.  I don't think they'll take GP
	Express here.'

	Havoc got up and left the ship.  He headed over and called on a taxi
shuttle.

Cabbie:  Where to, mac?

 Havoc:  Nearest bank.  Gotta pick up some cash.  Here.  *Havoc tosses a small
	gold rod through the pay window*  Do you take gold?

Cabbie:  Uh, YES SIR!  To the bank, sir!

If something can go wrong, FIX it! (To hell with Murphy.)  When in doubt, THINK!
If you can't win, change the rules.  If you can't change the rules, ignore them.
The squeaky wheel gets canned.  Do things by the book, but be the author. If you
can't beat 'em, join'em then beat'em.  Everything in your life is based on some-
thing else and in order to live a full life you must find what lies at the root
of all else.  For me, it's my self.
