Mouthing: \"You missed the turnoff.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt gets worse from there.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCargo hauler Jarik Venn just wanted to deliver freeze-dried rations and avoid toll stations. Instead, he rescued a reality-warping cat from the vacuum of space, became wanted in nine sectors, and accidentally destroyed a government starship with a weaponized hairball.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe cat's name is Brentley.
