Player Prompt: Duncan Mackenzie sits across from linemate and fellow S61 draftee Grogu Mandosson.

Grogu frowns and looks at DMack. "We need you to take a discount on your next contract. Some things came up..."

Dmack frowns back. "Im your CO-GM and I budgeted myself to take the lowest contract. You know this. Why are we even discussing this? What....what came up????"

"Well, it wasnt just one thing," Grogu replies, eating another egg out of the jar, " a whole lot of stuff came up. Like, first, #kitty got out of the cage and tried to eat the Parm-pidgeon again. The medical bills were huge."

"#Kitty managed to actually catch the Parm-Pidgeon?" Dmack asks, surprised.

"No. The Parm-Pidgeon caught #Kitty. The damn tiger may need another eyepatch. And then there was the fight between Esa Parmborg and Kata Vilde over who could eat the most Chicken Parm in one sitting."

"Oh god," DMack repies, "I hope they weren't seriously hurt!"

"No no. no physical altercation. The competition lasted three days and cost the organization over $15 million dollars." Grogu says deadpan.

And that is why DMack is taking the minimum contract.
