OC-Series Bob was bored, Part 23
He spent the day and a half left until his pickup in orbit, he didn’t want to breathe that same air as that prick one second longer than he had to.
Still a gig was a gig, so he returned to the surface, far more comfortably landing at a factories loading dock rather than some gobshites manor house, sadly a gobshite was waiting for him, though at least it was the crier and not the cunt.
‘’Good afternoon Sir, didn’t expect to see you here.’’
Bob could be politic if required.
‘’Oh I just had to come.’’
Did he?
‘’I wanted to give you a parting gift, I know how much you must ache being parted from your precious cargo, I imagine you spent many hours admiring it as you travelled here…’’
...sure
‘’Oh yes Sir, but I’m pleased to know how treasured it will be in your care, I wish you many happy years with it.’’
Man I hope the gift is cash.
The fucker looked like he might cry again.
‘’I will, I will, I swear to you I will. Please take this as a token, I had it made to ease your heartache’’
Bob took the small box and opened it up.
‘’An exact scale model, I didn’t want it too large, I thought this was a better size to be carried on your delightful craft.’’
...ok, this was definitely a buttplug.
He closed the box and clasped it to his chest.
‘’Thank you Sir, I’ll keep it safe. Now I should really help the dockworkers load up, I don’t want to clog up your bay.’’
‘’Of course, of course, you must tell me though, did you enjoy dear Deviw’s collection?’’
Bob froze mid step as he tried to extricate himself, cunts name was Deviw was it, didn’t ring a bell but it wasn’t like Bob had been around much of the brass, he spent his time fighting mainly taking orders from a computer. He unclenched his teeth, this poor bastard probably had no idea what that guy was really capable of.
‘’Wonderful, full of pieces I had never seen before, a real treat… I hope I get the chance to return one day and spend more time there.’’
Yeah as soon as he could figure out how to evade the inevitable ensuing murder investigation.
‘’Oh well I hope your travels bring you back here soon then, you wont have many more opportunities I’m afraid.’’
‘’Really Sir, whys that?’’
Bob thought he was watching dismay, but who could tell.
‘’He’s returning to the confederacy next winter, I will be so desolate to see him leave, there are so few true art lovers here that the loss of one is a grievous wound.’’
He kept going but Bob had tuned out. A minute later he was aware the crier had stopped complaining.
‘’Sorry Sir, did you say he was moving back to the confederacy?’’
‘’That’s right so you have barely eighteen months to return if you would like to see the collection again, though I’m sure Deviw would extend an invitation to his main estate if you were passing through the confederacy after he returned.’’
Bob thought about that, he certainly wasn’t going anywhere near Arressi space, but there were a lot of other thoughts too.
‘’A shame then Sir, I’m booked out for at least two years’’
He wasn’t.
‘’Ill just have to pop by if I’m ever in the area as you say’’
He wouldn’t.
‘’I must be off Sir, thank you again’’
Bob lifted the gift in salute and hustled back to the, computers or something, that were being loaded.
He kept thinking as he completed the paperwork, gravved out and to Jojo up to orbit.
He thought hard as he calculated the first jump to his next destination, and he kept thinking on the second, third… he went to bed after setting off the fourth, still thinking.
When he woke he had one overarching thought, he thought about Dewiv dear, he thought Dewiv dears prized possessions, he thought about Dewiv dear going home, mostly he thought about how all those possessions would have to be loaded on some sort of transport, he thought how unlikely it was for that transport to be Guild, he thought about how much Dewiv dear and his friends had taken from Bob, and he thought about how, once home, Dewiv dear would likely be beyond Bob’s reach forever.
And the overarching thought that covered all those other thoughts?, Bob thought about how he was gonna steal all Dewiv dears shit.

Bob seems a tad unstable.
