While it had only been six months since Zane "Provisioner" Seagale's unexpected landing, he wasted no time making repairs to his trade vessel. He was ready to leave. Ready to leave this hole which he had called "home" for one-half Earth year.
"Rubi-Ka", he spoke to himself. "I never wished to stay here longer than a day, yet I'm almost a year older now. I suppose this planet does have potential." Potential, he thought, was all Rubi-Ka was ever about. Sure, there was "talk" from both Clan and Omni leaders, as well as members of the ICC, that conditions would improve and that Rubi-Ka would be a place at which it was worth staying.
Talk is cheap.
