...Uh-huh.

Consider it on the House. After all, this Coordinate set you gave me has proved... Fascinating. An Underground Exotic Animals Market. I decided to hand it over to the IPC's Miss Topaz, since animals like her.

I did some looking into the Market before I handed it over, and most, if not all of them were endangered species from dying planets. I have little interest in it, but Some of my dealing with the Stoneheart's has had me learn about their nature.

“Mercenaries are rarely useful. Any good businessman knows this.” A drag off her cigar. “If you want a Job done right, do it yourself. That's the way I handle settling up debts to me.”

“Offering My Services, of course.” She muses, a dry laugh in her tone. “And this guy you're after. He's one of mine. Owes me a Few Billion Credits. I can turn him over to you, once I collect what I'm owed from him.”

“Technically. I didn't break into anything. No alarms got set off, no security triggered.” She says. “Employ some Punklorde Hackers. They work wonders for getting you into places.” She muses. “But On a Serious Note. Do you want me to turn him over to you once I get my debt?”

Styx.⠀ Artemis is /very/ used to people threatening to kill her, or reminding her that they could very easily have her killed. Very few actually follow through when it comes to threatening a business woman that follows Nihility.

“Good Luck. That's all I'm gonna say.” She nods, as she steps through, disappearing. Alarms start sounding all Over Pier Point. Seems The Punklorde Hackers left a distraction for the IPC to give Artemis time to escape. Seems she'll have to lay low for a while.

Time to scrub my tracks, and Prevent that IPC lackey from tracking me. ( She stood on the beach of a remote planet, stripping off her tech with any active links to the IPCs networks, and throwing them in the water, frying them.)

You look like shit. Have you been on Penacony so long that you forgot your body needs to rest as well?

Go and Rest. Things won't go to hell just because you're not micromanaging them for the sake of Order.

You're a Micromanager. Our habits are similar.

I sleep plenty.

Why? I sleep enough for my brain to not start eating itself from the inside out.

“𝙏𝙝𝙤𝙨𝙚 𝙬𝙝𝙤 𝙬𝙖𝙡𝙠 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙏𝙧𝙖𝙞𝙡𝙗𝙡𝙖𝙯𝙚, 𝙒𝙞𝙡𝙡 𝙗𝙚 𝙍𝙚𝙢𝙚𝙢𝙗𝙚𝙧𝙚𝙙 𝙞𝙣 𝙈𝙚𝙢𝙤𝙧𝙮.” —————————————————— An HSR OC! She's a Pathstrider of The Hunt, and a (New) Member of the Astral Express! ————— Her Element is Lightning—

One answer, should cover both questions. No. Our biology mimics that of humans.

If you want high quality eggs, however. Give me about 10 minutes and I can get you a set of eggs that's perfect for making omelettes with.

Styx.⠀ The reason she was exiled from The Family. She has gone to great lengths to ensure that it stays buried in the sands of time.
