Setting foot on The Rock - almost

We got to The Rock of Bral today. We couldn't very well just swing into the spaceport and dock. Word of The Royal Flush's arrival would spread like wildfire (just a tip - don't use that phrase on Bral. They really hate fires) and the Arch-Count Hans Ferdinand would know that FRITZHOLM HAMMERMILL was on the scene. I'd never track the guy down then, which was the whole point of this trip. No no, much as I hate to admit it, some element of Stealth would be required.

So I chose to land at a small asteroid near Bral instead. A gun dealer named Kenarska has an outpost there. (the laws against firearms on Bral are rather oppressive) Kenarska owed me a favor so he agreed to shuttle us and our cargo down to Bral. Veronica hates guns, which I think is a little strange for an archer, and doesn't much care for Kenarska either. Luther doesn't seem to care one way or another.

Oh, did I mention I'm still invisible? That unnerved Kenarska at first, but I think it'll came in handy when dealing with Arch-Count Hans. I've been practicing my spooky ghost sounding voice and making creepy spectral creeks and moans with the Gloves of Chimes and Miracles. I'm not sure if it's scary, but it's a lot of fun.

What would you do if you were invisible?
