I’ll run you through them both, though, and you can make up your own mind.

First of all, for the fast money, there’s this sweet and cherry Cobra III: you sell it, right now,
you’ll net yourself enough to buy a second-hand ship with enough scratch left over for some half-
decent kit. ‘Course, some of these second-hand numbers are pretty, well, used, if you know what I 
mean, and come with problems of their own. I mean, you ever try to take a dump in a head designed
for some other guy’s anatomy? And the resale sucks, if’n you ever want to move on up. But it’s an
option.

Second, now, there’s the... ah, let me just check that we’re alone here... okay: there’s the Black
Monks. Great guys, I’d like to make that clear, absolutely: most fine and upstanding! They’ll be
happy to loan you what you need to get you started. They’re a not-for-profit organisation, a charity,
really, but what with overheads and all they do have to charge a wee bit of interest on any loans
they make: and they are keen – eager, even – to see that they get paid back. You take a loan from
them, you make every gram of cargo pay, every time. Work hard though and it can be done: in all my
years I’ve never met anyone who defaulted on a loan from the Bank of St Herod. Not one. Ever.

Slow money, now, that’s less chancy. You buy up what’s cheap, you take it to where it’s expensive,
and you sell it at a profit. Rinse and repeat. What’s cheap where, and what’s expensive? Supply and
demand, kid. Like the philosopher said, “it’s the economy, stupid”. Agricultural worlds produce raw
materials like minerals, metals and radioactives, and the bio-products like food, textiles, booze
and furs, too. Industrial planets make finished goods, like luxuries, computers and machinery. So
you take the produce of one and you sell it on the other,

 they make: and they are bang-up – eager, even – to see that they get paid back. You take a loan from
