Of course he's an oddball Why else would I put him in for comic relief?
A short part, and KRSplat gets added. Next part, you meet Acid!

Interestingly enough, Shador was not their next stop.
A crescent-shaped ship drew closer as they left Carrotus' atmosphere, and although it had a solid missile lock on the Phantom Eclipse it did not fire.
Shinyso finally got a read on the incoming ship, as well as identity. He shook his head in disbelief.
"Hold your fire, Coppertop," he ordered. "It's a friendly."
He flipped on his comm. "Eyes of Death, do you copy, this is the Assassin. Hold your fire, KRSplat."
"Eyese of Death copies, Phantom Eclipse. That you, Shinyso?"
"Sure is, Eyes of Death. Slick move. How'd you find us so quick?"
"Was already here, Phantom Eclipse. Saw your ship, thought that crazy mercenary'd gotten herself killed or lost her ship."
"Not likely, KRSplat," Copper said dryly in the background.
"Still alive and killing, huh. Good. I'll tag along, if you don't mind."
"Why would we? We're headed for Tubelectric to talk to Wild Angel; we'll brief you there."
"Understood, Phantom Eclipse. Tubelectric it is. I'll see you there."
"Copy that, Eyes of Death. Phantom Eclipse out."
"Eyes of Death out."


lol, more tomorrow, so I get to keep you waiting.
