"Noooot a chance in hell I'd pull that off as a human," Starr replied with a chuckle. All things considered, Cibus and all its bullshit had been good to her in a lot of different ways. Goddamn she was going to miss it.

Nate clanked his bottle against Starr's glass, then downed the last of his beer, setting the empty bottle aside with a sigh. He settled back in his chair, trying to ignore the attention the other tables were still putting on the curry bowl winners, and said, "Well, what can I say? Guess we won't have much chance for hanging out like this later on. Few days until we blow up the Blacklight for real and all. Suppose I had a good enough time, considering all the shit we went through. I guess I could have ended up with a worse roommate, given all the weirdos we got floating around." He smiled at Starr. "Good luck out there, you and your friends and all. You got practice kicking Giovanni's ass here. Now it's time to head home and nix the bastard for real, huh? I know he don't stand a chance."

It was a good thing Nate hadn't put off saying what he wanted to, though. Not five minutes later, Saltriv's frantic message blared in their heads, and after that, well...
