3.15 - A Lady, Bespoken

"Neal Henderson, with the blessings of Lucky Strike, heads to the Ghost Rig by means of the most dubious conveyance known to the Policies of HartLife."

Synopsis
Cumulus Jane calls for the Sky Skiv, a makeshift cable car connecting the Stormhawk and the Ghost Rig. The car is called across by use of a magnesium flare, which temporarily blinds Neal, who looked at it. They're met by Meatsey on the Skiv, who asks what Neal's business is. When Neal mentions looking for Alison, Meatsey asks if he's talking about "Captain Alison". Cumulus Jane tells him to leave Neal alone, as Lucky Strike vouched for Neal.

Meatsey stops the car. He believes that a big guy like Neal being sent over, is an intimidation tactic. He says he agreed to pick them up, but didn't say where he'd drop them off. Meatsey then threatens them with a taser. Cumulus Jane asks what happened to him, as he used to be a better guy. Meatsey says the people on the Ghost Rig aren't Lucky Strike's slaves anymore, and that Captain Alison rewards initiative. Cumulus Jane tells him that Neal's important, and that neither Alison nor Lucky Strike will be happy if Meatsey kills him. As they're distracted by talking, Neal grabs Meatsey by the throat, choking him, but Cumulus Jane stops him from killing him. Neal tells Meatsey to get them across, so he can take Alison home.
