149 That Man May Not Be A Doctor.....

(Planet Calypso) 

(Outer District- The Slums)

Even for a den of pirates, this area was a place that only those truly desperate would live in. 

Only the poorest or most dangerous criminals would claim parts of this territory.

Even the infamous Blackguards dared not pass by during their routine inspections and who could blame them.

The smell of raw sewage filled the air as many residents simply shit and pissed on the sides of the badly paved roads.

Instead of proper houses, the residents of the slums lived in unsteady shacks that swayed gently if a harsh wind blew by.

The faces of the criminals here were battle hardened and no one even dared to bring a woman inside this zone unless they were whores or slaves. 

In the heart of this district was an out of place wooden house that was neatly tucked away behind a gambling den.
