The meeting with the New Kalmar Union representatives went even better than Henry Weedmonger had hoped. Not only did he secure trade relations, but he also set up growing and dispensing operations within their territory. To celebrate the successful negotiations, a reception was held at the replica of Kronborg Castle.
The grand hall buzzed with conversation and laughter as guests enjoyed the evening. Spacedawg mingled with the crowd, his sharp eyes taking in the perfect reproduction of late 20th to 21st century Helsingør. He was genuinely impressed by the attention to detail.
As he admired a painting on the wall, a woman approached him. “Captain Spacedawg Pauly

More, I presume?” she said, her voice carrying a hint of excitement.
Spacedawg turned to face her. “That’s right. And you are?”
“Emilie Møller,” she replied with a warm smile. “It’s a pleasure to meet a legend like you.”
Spacedawg chuckled. “Legend, huh? I’m just doing my job. But I have to say, this place is amazing. They’ve really captured the essence of old Helsingør.”
Emilie nodded. “It’s remarkable, isn’t it? They’ve worked hard to ensure every detail is accurate. What brings you here tonight?”
Spacedawg took a sip of his drink. “I’m here with Henry Weedmonger. We just wrapped up some business deals with the New Kalmar Union. This reception is our way of celebrating.”
“That’s fantastic,” Emilie said, genuinely impressed. “I’ve heard a lot about your adventures.

More?”
Spacedawg smiled, leaning against the railing. “Well, that’s a bit of a story. It all started back in my academy days. I wasn’t exactly the most disciplined student, but I had a knack for strategy and a stubborn streak a mile wide. My nickname came about during a training exercise where I managed to outmaneuver the entire fleet’s top students with nothing but an old cargo ship and a lot of improvisation.”
Emilie laughed. “That sounds like quite the tale. And your Danish?”
Spacedawg shook his head, smiling. “I can barely speak it, to be honest. I spent some time in Denmark during my training, but the language never really stuck. I get by with a few phrases and a lot of hand gestures.”
Emilie found this amusing. “Well, you’re doing just fine. It’s not every day one gets to meet a hero of the Canadian Expanse.”
Spacedawg waved off the compliment. “Just doing my part. Speaking of which, I should get back to my crew. Enjoy the rest of the evening, Emilie.”
She nodded. “You too, Captain. And congratulations on the successful deal.”
Spacedawg returned to his crew, feeling a renewed sense of pride in their accomplishments. As the night went on, he couldn’t help but think about the challenges ahead, but for now, they had earned this moment of celebration.
