Enjoying yourself Miner? If you get an inkling for a three'fer for old times sake, they'll be on the house.

Double-Header...I hope you're being, er, how should I say this...professional. (But I doubt it; how'd I let Eryk and Lash talk me into hiring these guy(s)?)
Ah, the Governor of Ventura! To what do I owe the pleasure? Decided to take a step up in the world from the lowly casino to somewhere a bit more on the exclusive side?
<holds up hand>
Before you ask, I'd rather not discuss business with you. Not now at least. There are a few things I've been dying to ask you. About certain common...acquaintances...we may have.
<watches Gruertis carefully until satisfied with reaction>
Have a good night.

Abin always thought she was using her magic to get the cigarettes she smoked. Turns out she wasn't. Someone is bringing old earth style cigarettes into Legion World. The nasty shit, full of tar, nicotine, and loaded with additives to make them both more addicting and more deadly.
We need to find this person before Abin does.
I don't want to have to bring my brother in on a murder charge.

Damn. I always thought Pagan used magical ones myself.
I had been investigating the ancient cigarette ring on and off for years but with no luck. It's actually only until very recently that something has come to my attention that might finally shed some light on it. Cigarettes might just be the tip of the iceberg if my suspicions are right.
And your pal, the Governor of Ventura, isn't telling you everything you need to know. Whoever is trafficking cigarettes into Legion World is trafficking something else.
And it ties directly into what I've been working on.
<finishes drink>
You didn't actually think I'd stopped working on certain things did you?
I'll give you one hint. It involves The Dark Oval. The cigarettes are a by-product of their most precious commodity. Terrorism.

Look I've gotta find Abin. I heard someone filled him with Klatchian Coffee. If thats true, he's at a power level like nothing we've ever seen from him before.
If he's in a Knerd state he'll have essentially unlimited will power.
And his POWER Ring...

Yeah, that's definitely not good. Hrun really loaded him up with that stuff.
Listen, you've got to keep him away from the Venturian Governor (you might notice I don't type his name because I have to go search for the spelling ). Abin will just do something rash right now like try to beat the truth out of him. I think the Governor knows something he's not telling us.
But the Dark Oval has its hands in some dark shit and is trying to bring it here. Cigarettes are a by-product of that. We've got to find out (A) their plans and (B) who exactly is behind this. This isn't something that is easily accomplished and is a 'long game' scenario.
You know I have agents around the galaxy reporting in to me on various things I'm "doing". This is one of them--we're at war with the D.O. and that involves spy games.
We've got to get to the bottom of this. But this information you're bringing me is a good thing. It's the first solid lead we've had in months. If we can find the cigarette dealer, we can trace the route back to whoever is behind this all.

Man this place is always hopping. Guess it's midnight somewhere in the universe.
Cobie, if you're looking for some squares, that Kirkman lookalike had some. It's how I knew he wasn't really Robert. (Mind ya, he may say he doesn't smoke, but trust me on this. )

<Cobalt walks behind the bar to pour himself a scotch on the rocks and fixes Matt up a drink while he's doing it, on the house>
Tell me Matt, the hooded figure staring at me from afar. What's he doing now?
<sets up drink in front of Matt>
I can't have some wild barbarian smashing up all the fine liquors, now can I?
