Whoa, is it just me, or were there some important clues being implied here? Asshole Dragon was a pirate? Pirates were a thing that had been mentioned in passing to a now-dead crime ringleader two or three years back -- long enough that the mention of space pirates does not immediately raise very many red flags.

Murderous space dragons, however, do fill in a lot of blanks. Blanks involving conversations about personal grudges and eating bugs and space taxis. Biomech's somebody who can only be figured out splinter by splinter, if at all -- this is scratching at the surface of something important, isn't it? Even bizarro-world Samus still projected that jaded tough-as-nails aura, but she'd been frozen with fear before Baileybot and Firebutt had shown up on the scene. Mentioning knowing the asshole dragon since she was three just put a whole other confusing spin on this.

The gears kept churning away slowly in the back of Char's mind as he directed an impatient look over to the enigmatic Mr. Fuckwad. Pay attention when hot girls are talking to you, Bailey. Jesus. "This asswad apparently goes by Justin Bailey. He's some kinda police SWAT guy or some insufferable shit like that," Char snapped, since apparently Captain Bombshell was unwilling to introduce himself.
