Ehrynn dashed over to Baboons for her interview with Nevver and Thyme. She was pleasantly surprised to discover that Valaik was also going to participate in their little chat. As they settled into their seats in the bar area, Doncarnage put in an appearance to ensure that they were well provided with drink and food. Ehrynn was too excited to drink or eat; she had an exclusive with Devil’s Advocate to attend to first.
Ehrynn powered up her journal and asked them for their reaction to Aktrez’s no service for clanners statement.
Nevver tapped her lips and stated: “Well, she must be under a great deal of pressure to make such an announcement.” She looked off in the distance for a moment before continuing: “Aktrez’s backing down doesn’t make it any easier for the rest of us.”
Thyme jumped right in: “I was totally in shock…aliens must have kidnapped her and warped her brain to make such a statement.” Ehrynn: “Can I quote you on that Thyme?” “Sure, Ehrynn go right ahead,” Thyme winked at Ehrynn and sipped her drink.
As soon as Thyme finished, Nevver, laughed slightly and noted: “Thyme always has a better sense for such things then I do, Ehrynn. It may be that aliens did warp Aktrez’s brain.”
“What’s your take on all of this Valaik?” Ehrynn asked.
“Omni, Neutral, Clan…the money is all the same.” He smiled at Ehrynn and she felt herself blush unexpectedly.
“Alright,” Ehrynn tapped her journal: “Enough about Aktrez, what is your vision for the future?”
Nevver spoke right up: “It’s simple, we are all about having fun. We’ve got lots of great things planned. I know that sounds ambitious but it’s all going to fall into place. Everything is under control. It’s about events and managing Baboons… that’s what we do with Nano-Lusts help.”
Ehrynn interjected a quick question: “So how is your partnership with Nano-Lust working out? Happy?”
Nevver responded immediately: “It’s perfect!” Thyme chimed in with:” It’s working wonderfully. We manage the events and Doncarnage handles the host responsibilities. A perfect match!”
Ehrynn looked over at Nevver. With her short black skirt, white blouse, backpack and white knee socks as well as black MJs, she was many a boy’s fantasy come to life. “Now, if you can tell my readers just one thing about your vision for providing quality entertainment on Rubi-Ka what would it be?
Nevver, spoke first: “It’s Nevver a dull moment at Baboon’s!” Thyme rolled her eyes and giggled
Thyme was a tad more business like: “I want Babs to be a place for everyone to come to and chill out. We are very laid back and into having a blast…even if that means giant lets.” Nevver added: “Well we did have the special restroom built for giant lets and large cats.”
Valaik smiled at Ehrynn: “I want our customers to be able to come here, relax, have a drink and enjoy life.”
Nevver: “On that note…having a drink, I want you to try this Lookout Sugarfree Rum, Ehrynn. We have invested a lot in this new drink, 750K to be exact and have high hope for it.”
Ehrynn asked: “Sugarfree?” Nevver nodded.
She took the glass from Doncarnage and sipped. “This is quite good! Do you mind if I mention it in my column or is it a surprise for your guests?”
Nevver shot Thyme a quick smile: “Go right ahead, Ehrynn, and mention it…As I said we have high hopes for this rum.”
Valaik excused himself to see to the security arrangements at Baboons. The interview concluded, the three women sat, drank their rum, and shared insights. Things turned serious again when Agent Garrisen suddenly appeared.
Ehrynn called out: “Mr. Garrisen, what is your reaction to Aktrez’s no service for Clanners policy?” He stared right through her and ignored the question. Undaunted, Ehrynn tried again: “Mr. Garrisen, is it true you threatened Aktrez, coerced her into making the no service for Clanners policy?” The agent turned his back on Ehrynn walked over to the far side of the room and sat down. “One last question, Mr. Garrisen,” Ehrynn was grinning from ear to ear: “Do you plan on ever being more than a jackbooted, misogynistic, fascist in this life?” No answer. “Shall I just put you down for no comment, Agent Garrisen?” He was clearly not amused and left the club.
“Well girls I think that’s a wrap, thanks for the interview, I got to get going to meet my deadline.” Nevver placed a hand on Ehrynn’s arm” “Garrisen is really a nice guy once you get to know him, just give him a chance.” Ehrynn tilted her head and smiled: “That’s pretty hard to do, Nevver, when he won’t give me the time of day. It was fun, see ya soon.”
