"Rack used this place as a supply drop, " Prozor said, looking around at the rest of us besides Fura, which amounted to也就是 Strambli and myself.?Just the bare minimum for an expedition?into a bauble, with Surt and Tindouf staying behind on the main ship. Paladin counted as crew as well, I suppose, but none of us were in the habit of thinking of him in quite that way. "Propellant for his launch. A handsome stockpile. Rack's philosophy was to run a light ship-minimal armour, minimal armaments. And a nice, lean crew, so we didn't have to split a prize too many ways. He didn't want to be lugging a hold full of rocket fuel around, so the Monetta only ever carried just enough to do the job, Rack always knowing he could come back to the Rumbler when he needed a top-up."?
