Storyline

Leo '2 Dads' Kosov-Meyer, the late ET's replacement, first meets Spider on shore leave in a port where the Hammersley docked on a charm offensive. Shamelessly out-cheating knock off-sellers, Leo gets away with a watch and a monkey. Despite Spider's warning pets aren't allowed aboard, the cocky rookie expects to outsmart everyone. So Flynn soon finds the knave's criminal record, based on which the judge ordered signing up for the military to avoid prison, isn't unjust, yet offers him a fair chance. On the very next mission, Leo can prove he also has matching guts, which redeems some mischief.
