She hadn't been to Bespin in quite a while, and it was refreshing to find that Cumulus was running like clockwork despite the increased Imperial presense. The greatly increased Imperial presence. The orbital station was certainly new, at least to the gas giant, and was already putting a kink in Black Sun's operations in the sector.

More than a kink. The spice that was normally flowing through this area was choked off to a trickle. The casino still served to create cleaned credits for several different accounts, but Sasseeri had been hoping to create a new market for the drug that Tear had passed on to her. Rrrapturrre. Her body suffered an involuntary shiver at the memory of the designer drug, and she narrowed her eyes and suppressed the feeling with a flood of anger. Tear had violated her, and he would pay for that, no matter how attractive he was.

Until she could figure out how he would pay, of course, she would continue with their... partnership. His backing had already helped her bring the rogue Nebula Vigos back into the Black Sun family. In fact -

"Make me an appojintment wjith Rrreznerrr forrr some tjime tomorrrrow, Olorrrjin." She looked at him, and caught the roll of his eyes. Oh, damn. Sometimes she forgot he was a Vigo in his own right now, not just a sun-lieutenant. Sasseeri narrowed her eyes slightly. "And get me some jinterrrvjiews wjith potentjial assjisstants. jI need a new one, sjince the last one rrran off."

It was a shame, too, she'd really enjoyed Michael Cline.
