Maken bacon, or two all beef patties, special sauce, lettuces, pickles, cheese, on a sesame seed bun:

Dinner wasn’t all that bad after they got our orders right. I was rather distracted by K’Lynxyl. I thought at first she was just enjoying being out with me, but now I’m getting the feeling that she is trying to seduce me. I wonder how much cash she will ask for. I guess I should enjoy it while I can before it goes there.

Anyway the salad wasn’t bad, but not that good and I'm still hungry. Under normal circumstances I’d likely have left some of it on my plate, but the waiter said that there is a planet wide food shortage, so I finished it all off. I guess that is part of the reasoning behind the riots down here. With the lack of food and the unemployment the government is using us as an easy target to get the heat off of themselves.

When we left the restaurant, we found the street was crawling with cops. There must have been about 30 of them! They seemed to be looking for us as several started our way, but we were saved by a woman calling out "Harasser!" The cops turned away from us to check on the woman and what we saw explained the pig people we’d seen.

The man the woman called a harasser had apparently been caught looking at her while she was bending over. The cops asked a few questions and then strapped one of the helmets they carry at their belts over the man’s head. He screamed and yelled and when they removed the helmet he had a pig face. Made my hands hurt just looking at that.

Lee stayed to talk to the cops I think, but K and I decided to make discretion the better part of valor, as she was likely the one that they were looking for, and ducked behind a building, and were quickly joined by Brundle. He said something about them looking for Star Fleet people as well making me sure K's stunt had her on the wanted list.

We jumped to the top of the abandoned building thanks to the help of K’s anti-gravity belt and planned to follow when Lee was grabbed, which seemed inevitable. I tried to get the Freedom to use an EMP to knock out the power grid, but they refused. Something about this being a Federation world. Go figure.

Anyway they didn’t grab Lee. I guess he wasn’t the one they were looking for, but I gather it was a near thing. We followed along on the roof, till the smell of cooked beef got our attention. Following it, we came to a building that apparently was a speakeasy and are currently going in. Maybe we can all get hooked back up here, and can hide out till the transporters are back on line. Like that is going to happen.
