A Chair in Orbit

Mr. Kreshul · Krai

Every fifteen minutes in the Satellite Court is billed to whoever speaks first, and Abigail has just spoken. Mr. Kreshul, a marble lawyer whose chair is bolted to the heat sink of his own railgun, gets faster with every shot, and he means to take the Orchard down.

On the boardTakes down satellites by injunction and railgun, in that order. Bills in fifteen-minute increments.

WhereThe Satellite Court (street name: the Meter), Pheli. A ring of Stack satellites, one carrying a leather chair with a railgun.

How it feelsStatic, a ticking billing clock.

House ruleEvery minute is billed in fifteen-minute blocks to whoever speaks first, and no satellite may be fired on without a filed injunction.
