Due to poor planning I was on Luna with almost no cash when the crash hit. Due to pure luck I avoided being wiped out by having moved the bulk of my funds to an unaffected safe-haven denomination. Due to an ATM with a misaligned touchscreen I had just converted my bitcoin—I fucking hate cryptocurrencies but using those and a pico-SD card was the only way to get my life savings off Earth—into almost sixteen trillion Libros points (the BookWyrm reputational currency, not the defunct memecoin of the same name). I meant to convert to Lunabucks obvs but for off-by-one on that touch menu. So here I am: alive, with eleven Euro in cash (like, those cool two-tone (not)gold/(not)silver actual coins that are probably worth more on Luna as museum pieces than their face value) and that mountain of LBP. I can’t go back to Earth; they don’t read there and the (bullshit) arrest warrant is a small problem too. I think I need to hire a local guide, one who works for book review points or is into nordic gold.
