I somehow missed this - downloaded it, but didn't read it. Nice short about Quin dealing with his new position on Surebleak - and Pat Rin learning a bit about his son. Villy does have an odd penchant for not recognizing members of the Boss's family! Quin pushes things a bit far - not intentionally, but it is a push - but squeaks through with a touch of luck. I'm not sure what the Scout was doing - deflecting or merely playing. And the dandies ditto. I'm pretty sure what the scruffy Terran(s) was up to, though. Good story, and of course I want to read more.
On reread - I could have sworn I'd never read this before, I should have remembered Quin and Villy meeting. But apparently I did... ( )
