Grifters' Asteroid

Harvey and his lanky partner Joe are slick con‑men drifting from planet to planet, always on the lookout for their next score. When their water supplies run dry they tumble into a rickety saloon on the dusty Planetoid 42, only to find the bar tended by a bizarre, many‑armed creature that can pour drinks, squeeze juice and sweep the floor all at once. The encounter quickly turns into a comic showdown as the duo discovers that even a simple glass of water carries a hefty price tag in this far‑flung outpost.

The bar’s proprietor, a hulking bartender who also doubles as the town’s mayor, justice of the peace and fire chief, is as resourceful as he is shrewd. He explains the labor‑intensive process of purifying the local water, while Harvey and Joe try to wriggle out of the bill with their usual charm. Their banter, the alien’s uncanny multitasking, and the cramped, trash‑strewn spaceport set the stage for a light‑hearted adventure full of witty repartee and interstellar hustle.
