Entry: Weapon #568; Mysterious Powder

Negotiations broke down for the weapon. I am somehow not shocked, although I suppose I should be. Dealing with corrupt space police is never exactly an easy job. First there’s all the power that went to their tiny police-brains (because let’s be honest here, space police have tiny brains.   Surely that’s the one thing that links them—their teeny tiny little brains that would be adorable if you put it in a jar and gave it eyes, because all tiny things are cute—take the Tibah Spidler for example.   You’d think that sixteen eyes and four legs wouldn’t be cute, but it’s super fuzzy and adorable because it’s so small.   It also won’t hesitate to bite you, thus paralyzing you if you don’t get an antidote quick enough.   But still.   Cute!). Anyway. Then, there’s the fact they’re, you know, corrupt, and so they think everyone’s out to get them and is also corrupt. Hello, projection! So needless to say the trade didn’t go through.

I did, however, manage to find another buyer for it. Except they gave me this powder stuff I had never seen before. Told me “it’s real dangerous now. Don’t light it.”   So, of course, the first thing I did when I was back on the ship was light it.

Holy smokes. Literally. There was smoke everywhere and I’m pretty sure I’ll need to patch some holes in the ship before I can fly again. This needs some research before I try and find a buyer. If I try and find a buyer.
