The Space Patrol has been so successful in its recruiting drives that we have begun to see these similar posters throughout the city. Please bear in mind that we at the Retropolis Travel Bureau do not - in fact , we cannot - endorse or condone these posters, we do want you to be aware of them and to understand that - in spite of appearances - this is certainly not the Space Patrol.
We feel that it's necessary to show you this without further comment.
Space Piracy! A wide-open field in which the sky is, in fact, not the limit. Where any able space man or woman can rise through the ranks not merely because of experience or merit, but due to his or her devious and ruthless exploitation of social interactions.
Just think of the possibilities! Blasting through the bulkheads of a wallowing starship, hollering like banshees, taking just a few select prisoners and leaving the rest with nothing more than some rations and a pointy stick on an out-of-the-way asteroid! Taking the largest possible equal share of the swag! Evading the pursuing ships of the Space Patrol with élan and style, except for those rare, exhilarating occasions on which you may be hanged! “Evading the pursuing ships of the Space Patrol with élan and style, except for those rare, exhilarating occasions on which you may be hanged!” But being hanged in zero-gravity ain’t all that final.
Students are encouraged to study astronavigation and hand to hand combat. Full prospectus is available.
