Summary

Vespa Ilkay's best days are behind her. It doesn't matter if this statement is actually true; she has convinced herself that it is. Whenever Vespa looks at herself today all she can see is the woman she used to be: a galaxy-class doctor and assassin. A legend. It doesn't matter if Vespa ever was a legend, or if she really has fallen as far as she thinks she has. She has made her decision, and tomorrow, she will act on it. Although that might not matter, either. Because if the visitor in the night has their way, tomorrow might never come. Welcome to the Penumbra, dear Traveler. We hope you enjoy your stay. (Trigger warnings can be found at the bottom of this episode description.)

0:00.0	Ah, good evening, Traveler, and welcome to the Penumbra.
0:11.0	Tonight's tale is...
0:16.0	Do you know Steel and the shadows on the ship?
0:30.0	I don't think an apology is too goddamn much to ask for.

0:44.0	Oh, and such an injury it was! My toe, my poor toe! It's broken in nine places you can't. You brute!
0:52.0	Ah, that's barely even an injury! Why should I care?

0:59.0	And not much of one I might add.
1:01.0	Buddy, are you serious? You're really gonna let him talk about me like that?
1:05.0	Vespa, we discussed this.
1:06.0	We discussed when you're on duty as my partner, and when you're on duty as my captain, yeah.
1:12.0	We don't remember the part where these jerks could abuse me however much they want.
1:17.0	Oh, that's great. Cool. I'm glad everything's fair and equal aboard the good ship, Card Blanche.
1:21.0	So now, nobody gets to criticize the captain's path, huh? That's the score we're looking at.
1:25.0	Well, it isn't as though Vespa could make it onto the card blanche through her own merits.
1:29.0	A half-rate doctor and a third-rate assassin with only a quarter of a mind left to speak of.
1:35.0	Buddy, enough! You're embarrassing yourselves.
1:38.0	Do you know, Pete will receive appropriate care from Vespa.
1:41.0	Beyond that, an apology is not her role aboard this ship.
