[Flashback] The universe does not sing; it hisses

[Raminah Naya]

“Revenge?” Raminah grimaced in disgust. “I'm not going to stoop to taking revenge on some bugs. It will be enough for me to never meet them. But if the chance to ruin their lives presents itself, I will not miss it. Not because of revenge, but because I do not like slave traders. I would like to get my things back. At least the phone, which still has the numbers of my friends. But I do not think the risk of being captured again is justified. The phone has most likely already been sold. Or thrown away.”

Silen said that the naga stand out on this planet. Raminah thought about it.
“Interesting. Many naga were locked up with me. About half naga and half humans. So I decided that there are a lot of naga here. Does that mean they collected them from other planets? I do not know if this is important to us. Of course, I would like to put an end to the slave trade, but I understand perfectly well that this is impossible”.

Raminah did not need medical assistance. The effect of the drugs had long since worn off. Adrenaline had driven away the remnants of sleepness.
“No, I don't need medical attention. Nothing hurts, don't worry”.
Raminah looked at Silen in surprise when he said about… what?
“What do you mean? What are you going to do?”
She braced herself for a fight. Silen's words scared her, despite that she understood that there was no point in Silen attacking her after he had risked so much to free her.

Of course, it would be a good idea to visit Silen's client. Raminah wasn't going to take revenge, but the gang itself might be interested in who had ruined their business. So it was useful to know whose way they had crossed.
“Well. Let's go to your client together. Is he in this city?”
Raminah sped up to leave the industrial zone faster. She liked quiet places more than noisy cities, but the city was safer.
“As for working together...” Raminah paused for choosing words. “I can take on theft, if we are not stealing the last shirt from a poor man, but I do not work against animals, children, and I will not take on murder. Normal law-abiding work can also be considered, but it usually pays less, and you will have to save up for a long time”.
