Greetings and salutations denizens of our cozy quadrant of this ineffable universe! Welcome to the show! This segment I have an exclusive broadcast (which came with a highly lucrative deal for yours truly, might I add) straight from the luxury ridden outlets of Hemingway’s Hyperdashery: purveyors of intergalactic finery for the enterprising elite!
I’ve been granted (and commissioned with) exclusive rights to review this esteemed establishment’s latest line of high-end adventuring gear. Each pack consists of three weapons (one firearm and two melee) as well as one finely crafted armor. The Hyperdashery has called the entire line “Hemingway’s Hautest Coutures,” and has themed each pack on a given station of the Sol system.
