Official business

I closed my eyes and linked to System, and asked for the car to be brought around, so I could go down to the docks.  Apparently another poor human had found his way to the Wandering City, under less than desirable circumstances.  He was on a freighter that had crashed on approach, causing some damage to infrastructure.  So Authority said that I had a problem to tend to.  When the big black car got near the scene, it looked like chaos.....repair bots were scurrying about, sweeping up rubble, robocop cars were slewed around by the dozen at all angles in the streets and on the wharf, and everybody was looking at the ugly old freighter with "Good Fortune" stenciled on the hull, which was a good couple of blocks deeper into the city than it had any right to be.
