Razor’s Gambit

Razor is not a man. He’s an eons-old being forged back when our universe was in its infancy. So why does everyone keep expecting him to act like one of those goodie-two-shoes from Earth? Or one of those repentant bad boys from Cinder?Why can’t they just leave him alone to grieve for his fallen empire of vice and exotic experiences?Sure, Razor hurt a few billion people along the way. And, yeah, he could stand to make good on some of his promises to reform. But sending him on a mission to profile a cabal hidden on the Tritan homeworld seems a little harsh.Two-maybe three-smiles in the entire galaxy could sway Razor to agree to such an egregious task, and, unfortunately, all three of them bore down on him on the same day.Off to Surrat Nor we go. And maybe, just maybe, Razor can find the start of his next venture or ’redemption arc’ as some would say.
