Captain Bartholomew Quasar did not believe in living in the
past, and he abhorred flashbacks with a passion.
But finding him dangling here from the edge of a cliff on a
desolate moon - Arterion 789 - one has to wonder how he came to find himself in
such a terrible predicament…
"Don't you dare!" He digs in with both hands,
fingers grappling for purchase among the crumbling rocks.
How about a little exposition, then?
Grumbling curses, he adjusts his hold, boots swinging above
a two hundred meter drop, and shouts, "That's what got me here in the
first place!"
