Miri-Na-Rū

Tiffans!

Meet the perceptive businesswoman Miri-Na-Rū from Prospector Finch’s Harem Adventures!

That first encounter between Finch and Miri is a beautiful example of a slow seductive dance.

Finch sees the statuesque woman frown ever so slightly. Then he notices the device over her eye, like one of the screens in the Alder and Simmix base, but a lot smaller. Finch can only conclude they are definitely another group of star people.

Miri controls her surprise. The negolens just revealed the truth about Emperor Norton: a former businessman who lost his senses after total bankruptcy. Then who is Finch? The negolens crunches the available data and concludes that a) he’s here to rescue Norton, b) he must be some kind of friend, and c) he is very diplomatic. He managed to get Miri to agree to the emperor’s departure without having to explain his true nature. Doing so would have pained Norton too much. Now this is something Miri can respect. But why isn’t there more information about him? “Mr Finch. I hope to meet with you and the emperor another time. We apologize for any misunderstanding.”

The Simmix translator in Finch’s head flashes an appropriate phrase for goodbye. He salutes Miri. “Gol teph te lo reth, Miri-Na-Rū. Until our paths cross in prosperity.”

It’s been a very, very long time since Miri felt a chill crawl down her back. And this young man with a boyish, honest face did this to her.

Can’t wait to find out what happens next, Tiffans!
