Rewards, Payback, and a Surprise
The next morning:
“OOOOH, meh heaaaa’!” Tjauke thinks ‘I feel like a whole hive plus the queen stampeded over me’.
knock knock knock
“whaaa? Whazza’ noi’?”
louder knocking
“OK, OK, jus’ a minni’” Tjauke-de groggily gets out of bed and weaves over to the door and opens it.
“Package for Setg’in-de”.
Tjauke-de motions toward Setg’in-de’s alcove; he is still sleeping.
The delivery guy brings in the package and Tjauke-de nudges Setg’in-de’s bed with his foot.
“Ehhh, errrmph, wha’ ya’ wan’?”
“Package for you, sir”
“Pack…?” Setg’in rolls over; his dreads are disheveled and some have come undone.
“From somebody named Thuan Gaun-di”
“OH, her… uhuh” Setg’in-de comes awake enough to realize what it is.
“Sign here”
Setg’in-de scrawls his name and Delivery guy leaves. Setg’in-de goes into the washroom and splashes his face with cold water. ‘My mouth feels like all those rjet eggs got dumped in it and my head feels like Kai-dte used it for practice’ he sighs to himself. He turns to Tjauke-de who is looking at the package. Setg’in-de gets more sober and goes over to Tjauke-de “DON’T open it, you had just as much to drink as I did, you get sick on it and I will skin you alive!”
Tjauke-de gulps and sets the package down.
“Tjauke-de, we gotta get this label off and put one of ours on, I don’t want anybody knowing where it came from!!”
They get dressed, eat a hurried breakfast, relabel the box and get it to Elder Kwei-de’s mansion- somehow without any mishaps!
They come back to their quarters and sleep off the rest of the previous night’s overindulgence.
By late afternoon they have somewhat recovered, they meet up with Naxa-di downstairs.
Tjauke-de realizes something- “Setg’in-de, that sy’uit-de greedy inspector still has your hand ‘caster, how are you going to get it back?
Setg’in-de makes an irritated noise, “I nearly forgot about that”.
Naxa-di interrupts, “Setg’in-de, it can wait till you finish your next run, then you can unpawn it”.
Setg’in-de gets a stubborn look on his face, clenching his mandibles tightly.
Naxa-di moans, “Oh, no, I know that look….. somebody’s going to be in a world of trouble!”
Meanwhile, at Elder Kwei-de’s house…..
His daughter H’chak-di opens the package and sees the beautiful fabric, “OHHHH Father, come look at this! It’s gorgeous!”
Kwei asks, “Who’s it from?”
“Auntie Sintye-di”
“My, H’chak-di, that’s a long way, how did it get here so quickly; I heard some rumor about a delay, something about engine trouble and Scorn pirates”
“Well the label says ScornDodgers Express”
The Elder remembers something and muses, “ScornDodgers Express, eh? Don’t those two hulij-bpe, whats-their-names work for them?”
“Ohh, I think its Setg’in-de and Tjauke-de, Yeyinde’s sons that buzzed the com tower four seasons ago”
Her father replies, “Well, those two seem to have redeemed themselves- somewhat! They should be hmmmm, rewarded for their timely service” He calls an aide, “Get me Setg’in-de and Tjauke-de at ScornDodgers, I want to talk to them!”
Back at the saloon they get the word and try to look presentable…… they revisit the Elder’s mansion and are presented with their reward… again without any trouble!….
They pay another visit to the Ferengyi inspector…
“EEEE, wha’ naaaaaow?” he backs up and puts his hands up as if to surrender and looks up at the two fearfully.
Setg’in-de says coldly, “I want my hand ‘caster back and I want it NOW!”
The inspector rummages around his unkempt office mumbling prayers to whatever gods he worships- besides money. Finally he comes up with the item. “Thaaat’ll be….” He starts to look greedy, at which Setg’in-de gives that threatening clicking again
“KKKKK-TTT-TTTT”
“Errrr, thaaat’ll be…. One hu….”
At this, Setg’in-de and Tjauke-de both start growling louder and move closer…Tjauke-de releases his wristblades with a loud ‘sh-shiiiinnkkk’ and turns them so they catch the light.
“Ten! Ten credits!”
Setg’in-de and Tjauke-de grin big toothy Yautja grins and Setg’in-de digs out a ten-credit note.
Mr. Greedy grabs it and bolts to the back of his office.
Setg’in-de motions Tjauke-de to follow him out. As they exit the office, Tjauke-de resheathes his wristblades and hollers to the retreating Ferengyi “Nice doing business with ya!”
As they leave the port area Setg’in-de says “UGH, I wish they’d deport that pauk-de hac’nikt”.
Tjauke-de “You’re not the only one…Say, how much do we have left?”
Setg’in-de laughs, “Enough to stay out of debt, maybe even pay for mating ceremonies of our own.”
Tjauke-de raises his eye ridges, “HUH? Females are expensive! Why get entangled?”
“Look Tjauke-de, I don’t want us to be Scorn-dodgers the rest of our lives, we’ve only got one more season to go before we’re done with this c’jit”.
Tjauke-de sighs, “I wonder what would have happened if we never –err- borrowed dad’s trijet speeder and buzzed the com tower….”
“We wouldn’t be stuck doing this, that’s for sure…”
Epilogue
Four turns later….:
Naxa-di has used her bet winnings to buy mating ceremony dress material. “Setg’in-de, I have news for you, I won that bet. Look what I got with the credits!” She shows him the goods.
Setg’in-de realizes what it is and stares at her slack-mandibled “Wha?” His gears start turning and he adds “Betting on Tjauke-de’s stomach wouldn’t be enough to cover that, what ELSE did you bet?”
“I bet Kai-dte that not only would you get Tjauke-de’s stomach upset, but you’d also propose to me”
Setg’in-de responds in amazement, “How did you convince him?
“I told him I got two witnesses”
“So when did I propose; what witnesses?
“Remember when you, me and Tjauke-de went to Thuan Gaun-di’ s establishment?”
Realization dawns on Setg’in’s-de’s face.
Naxa-di continues: ”Tjauke-de and Thuan Gaun-di know and they backed me up….Besides, Thuan Gaun-di told me that Kai-dte is her best customer!”
“OOOOH, meh heaaaa’!” Tjauke thinks ‘I feel like a whole hive plus the queen stampeded over me’.
