A crew could have fun there, much less expensively than on a regular Viking base planet, and for the last eight years a Captain Nial Burrik, of the Fortuna, had been occupying it, taking his ship out for occasional quick raids and spending most of the time living from day to day almost on the local level. Once in a while, a Gilgamesher would come in to see if he had anything to trade.
Her captain, Horris Sasstroff, called himself "Honest Horris," a misnomer which he had also bestowed on his ship. He was a trader of sorts. Even the Gilgameshers despised him, and not even a Gilgamesher would have taken a wretched craft like the Honest Horris to space. "He had been to Melkarth before," the Gilgamesher said. "He and Burrik are friends."
They said Burrik left nothing of any worth whatever behind; they were much disappointed at that." "Have any of them been back since?" All three Gilgameshers, captain, exec, and priest, shook their heads. "Captain Gurrash of the Fairdealer said it had been over a year before his ship put in there.
It was a Gilgamesher who brought the story to Tanith, and it was almost two years old when he told it. "We heard it from the people of the planet, the ones who live where Burrik had his base. First, there was a trading ship came in. You may have heard of her; she is the one called the Honest Horris." Trask laughed at that.
