Description
Our time traveling hero, Onishi, decided being a PI in 2813 isn't all that different to being a PI in the hard-boiled days of Dashiell Hammett's Sam Spade. Except now everyone carries photon blasters that can be set to stun or kill and you never know for sure which setting the blaster is on when its pointed at you, so you pretty much always have to have yours set to stun because its highly illegal to kill someone shooting at you if theirs is on stun. Also not everyone you go after is human. Not with AIs and cyborgs and even visitors from other parts of the galaxy all managing to pick up the same bad habits as their human counterparts. And sometimes its hard to tell they are not human, on the surface anyhow; but you definitely need to be sure before you try to arm wrestle, say a cyborg, into submission. That is if you want to keep your arm. Others can be toxic, just to breath in the air they breath out can kill you. But basically its the same thing. You get the call, telling you its an easy gig, just follow someone, get some picture... You know the usual drill. Then suddenly people you don't know are trying to kill you. And sometimes people you do know. Half the time your not sure who is on your side and who is really out to get you and who it just seems might be but really are trying to help you - in some strange, screwed up nearly mental sort of way. One thing you can count on though: The Client always lies.
Thanks for looking. Have a great weekend!

Terrific job on lighting her. Enjoy the POV on her. Outfit and gun rock!
Excellent SF-scene, super story, klasse work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yep - some things never change.... They just bring in new players....
Awesome work with Onishi, Rob! She looks to be quite capable of handling things and not even breaking a sweat...
You might just see her popping up in another story.... 😉
Great image, great story...kind of wish this was a whole book!
Good image and story.
Wowie! I really like the lighting you used for the scene as well as the details and the camera angle. You have outdone yourself on this one, Rob!
Great scene and story! Excellent work!!!
Fabulous work!
This was such a well thought out presentation, and being a fan of Old Time Radio it is all the more special for me
This totally Rocks.. love it!
An exciting story. She looks great... good pose and serious expression. The point of view is dramatic, too.
What a story ! and what a wonderful image...Onishi (gorgeous Onishi I should say) looks very serious this time but she remains so attractive despite this big gun ! The BG is dramatic, as well.
Excelent... Beautiful scene/decor... Lovely character too !!!
Onishi looks great here Rob, as does your new gal from your store who looks completely different and ultra-sensual! Your work is always exemplary Sir!
Thank you,
