From EPU's 'Fulcrum of Fate' pt3
"Ivan," said Len with an affable smile, "I don't think you were entirely straight with me yesterday."
Ivan blanched and stamped down on the hidden button under the counter.
"I don't know what you are talking about," he said, painfully aware that the huge bullets of sweat studding his forehead would put the lie to that. "You should leave before I call police."
Len crossed the cluttered front area of the shop to stand in front of the counter. Juhani remained by the door, arms folded, scowling.
"I'm afraid Selven won't be answering your call," Len told Ivan. "She's... indisposed at the moment."
Of all the humiliating ways to be cut out of the action, Selven thought. Trapped in a portafresher with the door welded shut by a Jedi lightsaber. No one back on Taris is -ever- going to let me live this down.
I'm going to kill that Jedi bastard some day, if it's the last thing I ever do.

and from a new 'Sic Semper Morituri' segment:
"Reow reow, reow, reow!" Artemis screamed as the yoyo mooncat unwound as he descended alongside the building Jeff sat atop. Jeff glanced at Luna as she cowered in her cage.
"You don't understand," Luna pleaded with him, "We told Asuka everything!"
"You told her everything you remembered - at that time," Jeff explained in a kindly tone as he flicked the rope up, sending the bound mooncat spinning up to his palm, "Now you might remember more," he said as flick of his wrist sent the mooncat down. He addressed himself to Luna in her cage, "There's also the fact that she's a physicist and mathematician. I'm an engineer and historian. I'll ask different questions, and interpret what you say differently."
Jeff flicked his hand up, and looked down over the edge of the roof at the spinning Artemis. "It's amazing that something that small can barf that much."
Luna fainted. __________________
