Rex Nihilo, scoundrel and grifter extraordinaire along with his robot Sasha are nearly shot, crushed, and ground into fertilizer as they try to earn a dishonest living in a hostile galaxy. The story While it might be a Rex Nihilo adventure the story is actually told from Sasha’s point of view. We meet the nearly sentient robot languishing in a lot being sold along with a bunch of other scrap on a backwater planet. She’s laying there, lamenting her fall from grace as a promising actress when she meets Rex, the self-described greatest wheeler-dealer in the galaxy. Rex is trying to get to a spaceport to sell a bunch of explosives he just stole when the Malarchy Marines show up, forcing the ne’er-do-well to take extraordinary measures to escape, measures that ultimately fail but gain him his robot companion.
