Glad you got a kick outta the post, Brom! I've enjoyed all of them, so far, and am looking forward to settling into playing around in the 'Verse again!
As to getting to Eagle Eye's, I imagined that, since
Roc was parked on a field owned by Sarafina, we likely walked there... as deep in as we are with needing fuel and maintenance, running the mule a couple hundred meters for a plate of grub don't make a whole lot of financial sense... You want that ruttin' 220 credits er not?

Besides, Sam and Ash have hauled food back to Ma on foot plenty o' times.
P.S. "Eyes to the sky" typical means folk're on the looky-loo fer Reavers... which puckers m' pi guh more'n frozen bees, get me?
