| On board Sucka 6, Foonid is talking softly to himself as he
fumble-fine-tunes the Gs63.04 androbotic arm which two hours earlier had failed to grasp
what appeared to be a nearly full vodka bottle passing by at about 21,000 mph. He is distracted, tending to grumble about anything that flits through his noodle. BAGSA's recent scientific mission to Mars, undertaken as a joint venture with Domino's Pizza, was a plum he had his eye on. Acquisitions, however, had other ideas. A recent memo said his talents were better suited to "mining the Belt" above Earth. "Geniminy!" Foonid mumbles, "I coulda been on my way to the big red one."
