Jill's excitement over the special treat was hard to hide. Terrence and Paula traded glances, both questioning their choice in companions. "How much do you think it'll cost?"

"Judging from Frenchie's fetish�uh, hospitality, it might be free...."

"Good."

An akward silence engulfed the table. Paula and Jill barely knew Terrence, and vice versa. Smalltalk ensued.

"So, um, Terrence...what're you doing on Starbase Rugby?"

"Well, I'm, uhhhhhhhhhhh...not seeking tools or important classified files or any advanced weaponry to be assimilated into a massive army, that's for sure.

Heh heh. Koff!

I need more to drink."

Paula and Jill quirked their brows as Terrence downed the complimentary water, though he wished it was alcohol. "What brings you two here? You don't look like natives, and I can't say I've ever seen a machine of Paula's variety before...."

"W-we were looking for my husband, Bill."

"How did you lose him again exactly?"

Jill grew tense. She was being grilled and didn't like it.

"He just took off with Pete. Said he had things to do. Business to take care of, that kind of thing."

"Yeah."

Terrence sipped his water. "Sounds suspicious."

"Well...yeah, but-but-but�"

As Jill talked her way into a corner, Paula became distracted. Across the room were three men in black suits, each looking straight back at them. Each was emotionless, eyes hidden by sinister sunglasses. Everything about them had a dark aura about it, even the perfect dimple in their ties.

"...and then, you know, he just�"

"I think we're being watched."

Terrence and Jill paused. Paula looked at them both and pointed to the table...three random people, talking and laughing. Nothing special, nothing ominous. Generic people.

"By them?"

"You're seeing things."

"I guess I need my optics checked...."

The discussion resumed. But Paula couldn't help but occasionally glace at the table, still sensing something unatural about it. Something wasn't right.

"Something's up. Way up."�Gabe, Penny Arcade
