    Summary

    "Do you know what a roller pigeon is, Barney? They climb high and fast, then roll over and fall just as fast toward the earth. There are shallow rollers and deep rollers. You can't breed two deep rollers, or their young will roll all the way down, hit, and die. Officer Starling is a deep roller, Barney. We should hope one of her parents was not." - Hannibal Lecter


    Sometimes the worst part of a day in the Dungeon was the need to simply hurry up and wait. While Carl does just that, working his anxieties higher and higher towards the ceiling of the bubble, Mordecai comes to check on him.

    And to ensure that he doesn't crash to the ground.

    Summary

    "And lastly I'm sure that all of you have noticed a new face, so please everyone welcome our new dishwasher, Carl."

    I frowned, looking around the table before my eyes landed on the hulking, hunched over form of the man sitting directly to my right, currently stuffing his face with a cutlet with his bare hands, not even bothering with a fork and knife. He dropped the cutlet and chewed, covering his mouth with his elbow and grinning waving at the table with his spice-and-butter covered hand.

    By the Gods.


    Mordecai is one of the most well known chefs in the entire Galaxy. But even he is not immune to doubt, or his own wants.

    Apparently, what he wants is Carl, the brand new dishwasher at Mordecai's restaurant.

    Summary

    You know, Crawler, historians used to have a fascinating habit.

    Two men would live together for forty years. They'd share a house. Share a bed. Raise a cat together. Leave each other everything in their wills. Write letters so disgustingly affectionate that they make romance novels look emotionally constipated.

    And historians would look at all of this and conclude:

    "What close friends."

    Amazing.

    Truly a level of denial normally reserved for cult leaders, reality television contestants, and people who think they're "just being nice."

    Now, to be fair, housing costs are terrible. Sometimes two fully grown men do end up sharing an apartment. Sometimes they do sleep in the same bed. Sometimes they do spend every waking moment worrying about each other. Sometimes they do accidentally build a life together.

    But eventually, Crawler, there comes a point where you're not fooling anybody anymore.

    Not the audience.

    Not the cat.

    And definitely not yourselves.

    REWARD:
    You've unlocked the passive skill: Heterosexuality (Contested).

    The effectiveness of this skill decreases every time you call your roommate "family."

    An undercover mission gone sour leads to Obi-Wan crashing his starship into the trash fields of Lotho Minor. Lost and injured, in the lightless, subterranean tunnels beneath the planet’s surface, he finds something long-forgotten.

    Or rather someone.

    Summary

    "Many stages in Eridian reproductive process. Rocky Adrian laying cycles finally sync up recently. So, Rocky Adrian think finally time for eggs. Adrian lay five eggs, very good. Only, strange thing happen. Rocky only lay one egg."

    “Oh,” I say. “That’s unusual, right?”

    "Very," Rocky hums.

    My throat tightens. "Does that mean there's something wrong? Are you sick?"

    Rocky makes a gesture I usually interpret as "not exactly". "Not sick," he says. "But doctors still worry. When Eridian start to make fewer eggs, this usually means laying period of life is over soon. Rocky very young for this. Rocky supposed to be in ideal time of life for laying. Rocky younger than Adrian, even." He shifts on three of his feet. Already, my mind is racing ahead, wondering -- "Doctors told Rocky to ask Grace, is this radiation side effect, question?"
