For me? Really?

Best thief in the galaxy of course! After all, they said Central Control was impregnable (sounds like it had a chastity belt on) but I got through that lock in a minute flat. A doddle if you don't count having to run through a minefield first which almost did me ticker in. Not that I boast about it a lot, even if it was an act of dazzling brilliance, because it was there that me old mate Gan died, holding a blown-up (blown-down, really) door up so we could escape.
I still miss him.
Then there was the force field on Kezarn that I cracked and found a new world for a whole race of people. "Brave and clever" old Norl said I was, and it's not often I've heard those words used about me. Not that I like to think about that time all that often, even if I'm a planetary hero to those weirdoes, because then I think of Kerril who said she loved me but loved a new life more or she'd've stayed with me. wouldn't she? Mind you, if she had, she'd've found out I wasn't a hero at all but just the comic relief on and token Delta, though not as fast as she would've if I'd gone with her. Not your tough sinewy pioneer type, me.
I still wouldn't say no to a nice award though, preferably something stolen and exchangeable for cash.
