Greetings Sentients! While staying here on Legion World, I see what is lacking is a place where people can get the odds on anything and potentially walk away as the next RJ Brande. Well, brought to you by your fellow UP Planet Ventura, I’m proud to present Zaryan’s Palace! Here you’ll have the finest Grand Hotel in the galaxy and one of the classiest casinos in the multiverse.
I, Gruertis Nyebif, Governor of Ventura, am proud to introduce our culture to Legion World.
May the Luck Lords by on your side!
Check out this review of the original Zaryan’s Palace on Ventura “Zaryan’s Palace is more than grand – it’s the largest casino in the galaxy. One of Ventura’s top casinos, this wonder has 54 themed gaming areas and spans more than 171,000,000 square space-meters. When the Palace opened, it took 339 armored cruisers two days to bring in enough Venturian Walking Money to stock the casino! The Palace is also ideal for families; the youth center, showrooms and 33-space-meter theme park give children plenty of opportunities for fun while parents enjoy gaming in Zaryan’s Palace”

I'm in for some blackjack--I once went by the name "Blackjack Brown" when I was undercover on Earth in the 1970's.
Hopefully Lady Luck won't get even with me right now for that time I broke her heart.

Somehow, I don't think I'm welcome in here.

You should have seen Eryk's hat-wear for this mission. And that 'fro...

Okay My, I'm in position... You positive the intel is correct? It moves today?

<through the front doors, Cobalt Kid and Exnihil enter the casino, which is buzzing with citizens of Legion World gambling, drinking and having a good time; some citizens are hitting it big but many are losing and some even losing their life savings; a wave of fresh oxygen hits them, energizing them>
It shouldn’t take us long to get an audience…
<Cobie notices immediately the various security and staffers looking at Exnihil, whom they recognize immediately and infers Ex is a recurring face around here; upon noticing Cobie they also have a quick sense of alarm and radio to their home office>
…but just in case, let me make an entrance.
<Cobalt walks over to a slot machine and places in one credit; he then smiles at Ex as he uses his magnetism to rig the machine to automatically win, and suddenly $100,000 credits begin spilling out of the slot machine; people begin to gather>
Guess I’m just lucky.

*Along with a multitude of security, Gruertis Nyebif storms forward, chomping on a huge cigar as citizens are thrown out of the way*
Bah! Who do you think you are, cheating Ventura at it’s own casino?
*as citizens try to scoop up the $100,000 credits, they begin getting tackled and pushed aside as the casino staff regains all the credits*
This is an outrage! You, Cobalt Kid, are nothing short of a scoundrel and a vagrant. Wipe that smirk off your face. For this insult alone, I promise to take $1,000,000 in credits from Legion World’s populace tonight alone!
And you, Exnihil! You’re like a bad penny! And we get enough of those around here—Har, har, har!
Shoulders, Biceps—escort these two gentlemen to the back room so we can talk business.

<Biceps grunts and, ignoring Ex's protest, bodily lifts him off the ground and starts carrying him back. Ex kicks his little legs in a somewhat comical fashion>
Well this is just humiliati... ooh... Martini!
<he grabs a martini off of tray of a passing waitress>
Waitress: Hey!
<Ex winks at her, and taking a sip of his martini, catches a quick reflection in his glass from a figure over at the penny slots... Space Ranger! Surreptitiously, Ex catches Cobie's eye and gives him a furtive head tilt in Space Ranger's direction as if to say... "Part of your plan"?>

<Cobalt follows the Governor of Ventura and motions for Ex to follow, noticing the nod from Ex; Cobalt half-smiles>
Why Governor, surely you have a sense of humor? I figured we could skip the whole business where we wait around for hours and you pretend you weren’t watching us from the minute we stepped foot in the casino. I told you several months ago I’d come by and see you about your operations here on Legion World—and elsewhere—and that time has now come.
<notices chorus line of dancing girls on a nearby stage, and one girl wave at Shoulders>
At least the scenario is okay…
<Shoulders grunts at Cobalt for referencing the girl>

*Gruertis leads them up a spiral staircase into a plush office that oversees the casino; there is a 2 inch rug made of some exotic fur, and his chairs are decorated in exotic prints of leather, likely from some rare alien species of cat*
Sit down. You wanted my attention, you got it. But I won’t let myself get pushed around, see?
*looks at Exnihil*
You been back in business one day and already we got problems? You said the store basically sells itself and we’d be reaping the profits in no time.
*looks at Cobalt Kid*
Yeah, yeah, I ain’t stupid. I figure you realize we’re backing your pal here. What’s the crime? Can’t people get into business with one another anymore? Jeez, you Legion World types and your high horses. You save the galaxy a few times and sit in judgment on the rest of us. Like we need to follow your personal moral code as some sort of tributary payment or something.
*lights a new cigar*
But no need to handle this like a bunch of savages. How about a drink?
