“You have to admit, that was the most comfortable bed we’ve ever slept on.”

“We’re not taking it with us,” I responded stubbornly as we stepped out of the master bedroom.

“Come on,” Elspeth wheedled. “We’re going to trash this place anyway! It wouldn’t hurt to grab a few nice things to take with us, right?”

“Like what?” I demanded.

“The bed, the toilet –”

“The toilet?” I scoffed.

“Have you used it yet? It’s like shitting off the edge of a cloud!” She gave me a skeptical look. “Please don’t tell me you have some kind of weird légionnaire thing where you don’t need to poop.”

She paused, thinking. “Wait, have I ever seen you poop?”

“Please, can we end this line of conversation before I become ill?” Aggy groaned as she shoved Elspeth back into the master bedroom.

Someone knocked on the suite’s door.

Playing the role of bodyguards, Aggy and I checked out the room service stewards as they wheeled breakfast into our suite. They glanced around, likely looking for intel for their masters.

The main room of the suite was a mess, with clothing, accessories, and empty plates strewn about, all artfully arranged to make it appear like a hurricane, or a rich, young woman, had torn through. Only after the stewards were ushered back outside did Elspeth emerge from the master bedroom.

“Nobody expects a lady of decent breeding to be up and about at this hour,” the AI explained as Elspeth grabbed a plate and loaded it up with eggs and sausage. “Clearly you are not a lady of fine breeding, but we have to keep up appearances.”

“What can I say, James’s habit of waking up ridiculously early has rubbed off on me,” the albino said between bites of food.

Aggy just sighed in exasperation.

“The parade is scheduled to start early this afternoon, giving us a few hours to scout out the arena,” I said.

“My buddies are already mapping out the tunnels you spotted, leading out from our holdfast,” Josefine volunteered. “If we’re lucky, we’ll find a way to start sneaking them into the Circus and start raising hells ahead of the main show.”

“I’ll keep them off the Circus’s sensors,” Aggy agreed. “Having a more readily accessible route to the holdfast would be extremely helpful.”

“The auction is set to begin as soon as the parade ends, which will be the perfect time to sneak under the arena and try and find the Star Ravagers,” Elspeth said. “You do that, we’ll focus on winning their sponsorship.”

The Diaspora Circus had a macabre sponsorship system, where guests could pay to support their chosen contestants. It was their way of spicing up the gambling, to add an extra level of gamesmanship to an already disgustingly inhuman event.

While some guests were clearly sadists who were only there to watch people suffering, the Circus’s other huge draw was its gambling. The resort’s casinos offered more than just poker and simple games of chance. Guests could bet on the blood sports, picking contestants to win or lose a given round, survive the day, or win the entire event.
