Whilst visiting the planet X-Orbitant Seven (where visitors are fleeced at every opportunity, and beaten up if they complain), Magnuss and Hair-Trigger are imprisoned for thirty days and ordered to break coal into smaller lumps for the Governer’s personal stove. Their crime? Overtly stating that, in their opinion, the coffee in the local Cafe Puke concession was expensive and almost tasted half-way decent, which ran counter to the Cafe Puke ethos. In fact Magnuss could still taste it after being introduced to their cell…
Later, he complained, all he could taste was coal dust.
