The Aliens of the Flaming Red Sun/9 Hope and more fear

Back to The Aliens of the Flaming Red Sun'''

The Aliens of the Flaming Red Sun/41 Will they be Friendly on the Ship?
Other Centaurians weren’t surprised to see Purple wearing servile robes that marked him as a slave, they just assumed Purple was about his master’s business but Purple feared there would be trouble ahead. With his tentacles held apprehensively Purple approached a crew member and asked to see some Centaurian in charge. The sailor escorted Purple to supervisor where Purple asked very deferentially if he could work his passage, (that means he hoped he could work instead of paying a fair) explaining that he was a trained engineer. “I have two friends travelling with and respectfully I hope I can pay for them as well with my work.” Purple added as he didn’t realize the tramp could easily have paid for them all.
