Summary
DOCKSIDE IS A CRAZY PLACE
The drug and booze-filled streets of New Boston's spaceport
district are no place for the uninitiated. Take a walk down
these dirty thoroughfares and slip into their darkened alleys
with eight new stories centering on what goes on when the most
famous fixer in space is not there to hold things down.
Featuring:
The Bruise-Giver – Every face in
Dockside has a story. Some of those stories are legends if you
know who to ask…
The Switch – The nicest enforcer in
town has to solve a series of robberies before the rent is due
to save his neighborhood.
No Good Deed – Dockside's police
department is legendarily corrupt, but sometimes even the bad
cops have to deal with worse ones.
Dangerously Unlucky – Clearing up
old mistakes is a very different thing when Dockside gangs are
involved.
Mad Engineer – Big Woo's creepiest
android engineer takes matters into his own hands when the new
neighbors become a problem.
Age Before Beauty – Three grizzled
old men embark on a secret mission to help a young woman escape
a bad situation… while drunk.
Getting Square – Two of Dockside's
most bedraggled characters embark on a quest for their next
good time.
Chekhov's Guns – Some bartenders
sling beer all night. Others sling guns. Guess which one this
story is about?
