"Pocket Change" by airickuh
Thanks for coming in to discuss this," Grimilix said to his employees, Castrix and Novix. "No problem, boss," Castrix replied. "You're in charge, after all." "That's true. Well, the Space Station management has given us a job, and I think you two would be well-equipped to handle it... and since you're the only pair of workers not busy this week, that works out nicely." Novix said, "Well, let's hear it." "They want to put a lever into the wall of the Supply Deck." "Okay..." Castrix was silent for a moment. "A lever for what?" "Well, it's a weird request. They say they want a mechanical hand to come out when someone pulls the lever, and take Neopoints from the person who pulled it." "Uh... what?" "Yeah, like I said, it's weird. A way to make some money, I guess... Though it seems more like something Dr. Sloth would do. Oh well, we just do what we're told, right?" "Right. Well, we'll find the supplies and get to work." "All right. Thanks, you two," Grimilix dismissed. Castrix and Novix made their way down to the Supply Deck, where they could find... supplies. (Funny how that works.)
