>He picked out a couple of the boxes and opened them.

Titus shrugged again.  It was a movement he was ideally built for.  ' I 
thought to myself, I've given you carte blanche, I want to make sure I'm not 
giving you any golden egg laying geese.  You were handy the other night... 
but priceless?'

He poked around the boxes, not really looking; he was in a time wasting 
mood, and he knew why. As Khan, there was a lot of shit that needed doing, a 
lot of ehads to bang tgether, a lot of problems to solve.  He just knew that 
Yip would have a list a mile long somewhere... but here and now he wanted to 
just take some time out.

Take some time out and deliberatly not think about his earlier actions with 
that Sugar girl.

' Any cool shit I should know about?  I dunno, porn we can see on, drugs, 
tactical nuclear devices or equivilent?'
