"Space travel log 0968." "We were wasting our free time." "It sounds good to call the bounty-hunting job a "freelance" job but all that means is that we're self-employed." "we have none at all." "that's all a part of our destiny but it's troublesome that we're out of money." "we get urges to make quick cash..." "Any problem with using these?" "Evens!" "is it?" "odds after all!" "is it?" "Yeah... odds." "Double ace..." "Even." "I can't eat any more... it would be easiest for me if you paid up in cash... what'll it be?" "A man does not take back his word!" "That's why I told you not to do it..." "Humans were meant to work and sweat for their money afer all." "Those that try to get rich quick or live at the expense of others all get divine retribution somewhere along the way." "That is the lesson..." "But one thing about humans is that they quickly forget the lessons they just learned." "Dammit." "There was a fridge way back here?" ""Survival of the fittest" is the law of the land." "To fool and to be fooled is the reason we live." "I've never had anything good happen to me when I trust others." "That's the lesson." "How much did you swindle?" "Would you stop saying things that would hurt my reputation?" "He lost on his own!" "Because he couldn't see through this cheat?" "It's part of one's skill to see through it." "At least give his clothes back to him." "I'll lend them to him." "aren't we?" "It's rough out there in the real world." "what's up?" "Something bit me." "something"?" "I-It wasn't a rat!" "Look at this!" "This wound on my neck!" "HEY!" "This is silly." "It was a waste of time running over here." "Spike!" "I was bitten around that fridge!" "Fridge?" "Hmm?" "You have a clue?" "I'm sure... there was something... can't remember." "You sure this is gonna work?" "The only thing it doesn't work on are nearsightedness and cavities." "Then it works on athlete's foot?" "Of course." "Don't you have something more legit that would get rid of sores?" "That would be this." "That gets rid of sores?" "Yeah." "and you boil it in 3 cups of water until... and you drink it." "isn't there something more different?" "I got just the thing." "gimme that..." "Gimme what you had before." "Hey..." "I'm feeling a lot sicker now..." "Do I look pale?" "You're pretty pale to begin with." "What is this awful smell?" "Herbal medicine." "Herbal medicine?" "THIS?" "It smells like you just left a rag that cleaned up spilt milk out to dry!" "I think it's more like rotten soybeans." "Knock it off!" "I have to drink this ya know!" "brother." "this goes too far for a joke... right?" "There's nothing to make a fuss about." "Am I wrong?" "I have no clue." "He seems to have gotten some poison that's not in this database." "Looking at similar poisons..." "Cryptosporidium that's not it..." "Cholera...?" "Nope..." "Ebola virus...?" "Nope..." "Bifidobacterium...?" "Not even close." "What is it?" "you're being noisy." "I can say for sure that it wasn't an ordinary rat." "keep it quiet." "So what is it?" "it's..." "A mysterious space creature!" "Spooky!" "The attack of a horrible space creature!" "there's that possibility... right." "Then what is it?" "It's not in the database." "Yeah... too." "You think so?" "We've never seen symptoms like this before either." "what is it?" "What is it?" "perhaps something like a rat went through a mutation and evolved into some mysterious creature and carried a mysterious poison..." "What's that about?" "That isn't too different from the "mysterious space creature" theory!" "This is too silly." "Ein?" "It's a space creature!" "It's spooky!" "All right." "This is made to sense heat sources." "It's usually used to find bounties that are hiding." "Can you see me?" "so move just like I tell you..." "Ein!" "Where are you going?" "wait!" "HEY!" "That's weird..." "Is it broken?" "Was that response from you?" "about some mysterious creature or somethingarather... yeah." "What happens if you're bitten?" "but I'm going to guess death?" "No... why did it have to be this way?" "I still have a lot to live for..." "I haven't committed any crimes..." "I'm still young and lively..." "Lively?" "poor little me!" "why are you getting into this...?" "August 6th." "Skyday." "we will go look for the spooky mysterious space creature." "follow him!" "Are you here?" "Mr. Spooky Creature?" "Ed!" "Ein!" "Hey!" "This isn't hide-and-seek!" "exclamation." "Lights shine bright in the many towns." "Ed." "Ein!" "Are ya in here?" "You're not in here?" "Answer me!" "Really..." "Ed..." "What happened?" "Ein!" "hang in there!" "Where's Ed?" "I can't believe it got you this easily." "You're a dog!" "Where're your natural instincts!" "?" "No choice..." "Guess I'm going in!" "Cruising down Route 66." "Approximate cruising time left: 82 hours." "we will enter full autopilot." "this ship will automatically land on Mars." "The route cannot be changed after confirmation." "are you?" "Hey!" "Did that thing get her too...?" "Don't surprise me!" "I've been waiting for ya!" "Excellent!" "you slime!" "Got 'im!" "This thing seems familiar..." "I guess I shoulda eaten that... it should be in the fridge..." "That was when I remembered everything." "one year ago." "When I had gotten ahold of a real lobster I hid it in the fridge in this stockroom... ..just so nobody else would eat it." "and left it in there for a whole year..." "I wonder what it looks like in there now..." "Shit...!" "Dammit...!" "You shouldn't leave things in the fridge." "That is the lesson." "Sweet bean roll!" "Mmm... can't eat anymore..."
