“I’m just lucky that my first contact to anyone else who knew my black mark was Scotty,” Sprite said, “and not some bounty hunter.”

“Why didn’t you know the mark was on your name?” Turtle asked.

“They don’t send you a letter and let you know. They make you disappear and figure out the details later.”

“But clearly its public information of some kind. Otherwise why were all those bounty hunters after you?”

“The information is out there, sure, if you know how to get it. But I don’t make the time to keep up on every black marked ace."
