Alliance Supply and Procurement: Episode 1

[Cuspar]

Bronto follows Rek, keeping quiet.

[Furiel]

Can a GM get a persuasion roll from 1 Rek Baniss please

[Whiteness]

Persuasion Roll(1d20)+-2: 18,+-2 Total:16

[Furiel]

Not wanting to let the chance escape him, Rek decides to talk to the captain before he has the chance to leave.
"Bronto, keep your eyes on that man and let me know if he tries to leave."

Rek takes a moment to examine the bar for anyone suspicious or any imperial, and looks to see where all the refresher and all the exits are before returning to Bronto.

Perception: Roll(1d20)+7: 12,+7 Total:19

"OK Bronto, just follow me and be quiet, let them think you're my bodyguard. I'll talk for you if need be" Rek then heads towards the captain with Bronto in tow.

"Excuse me sir, I don't mean to interrupt your dinner but I was hoping I could have a moment of your time. My name is Rek Baniss, and this is my associate. You are the captain of the White Dwarf cargo ship that is leaving in a few hours, correct? I was wondering if you would have room for 6 or 7 passengers. We would be willing to come to work out some arrangement, we don't expect a free ride."

The gentleman looks up from his meal...

"Mr. Baniss you say? You are correct I am the captain of the Red Nebula, Chip Stone is the name. Well, why don't you and your companion pull up a seat, we might have something to talk about. However you do have me at a loss, you seem to know a bit about my business, but I know nothing of yours."

[Whiteness]

"Sure Captain Stone, I'd be happy to." he says as he sits across from the man and motions Bronto to join him.

"I really don't know much about your business, I just heard you were the captain of that cargo ship. As for me, I am currently in the business of getting to Castell, I'm part of a small crew that's looking for work and we were told there was some available there, and seeing as your ship seems to be the only one heading that way I hoped we could reach a mutually beneficial arrangement."

[Dood]

Dood eventually remembers where they parked the Blu Wark, collects him, and along with T'el, heads to the bar he was told to meet at.

Capt. Stone looks you two over.

"Well I might have use for your group, we are running a few hands short right now, what skills do you and your friends bring with you that might be of benefit to me and my crew?"

"A little of this and a little of that, personally I'm a pilot with a knack for astrogational computations and a survivalist, but I can handle most any task aboard a ship. I've asked the others to meet me here so you know who you're dealing with."




edit: I can handle most any task aboard a shit as well, but that information is probably not needed here

"Well I can assure you all of our piloting needs are already being met. Nothing personal, but I'm not turning control of my ship over to some slick talker I met in a cantina. So as long as I like the looks of teh rest of your crew, you don't mind doing alot of the yeoman's work and you are willing to play by my rules I think we can work something out. Although they better hurry, as you know we're scheduled to lift off pretty soon and I'll need to get back for preflight."

"That sounds great Captain Stone. They should be a long shortly, I'll just message them and remind them of your schedule, excuse me one moment."

Opening up his comlink he sends a text to all urging them to hurry to The Vapor Trail so the captain could give them a once over.

[Cuspar]

When the Captain asks about the skills of the group, Bronto points at himself and pounds one fist into his other hand. He grunts approvingly.

[Whiteness]

Ah, the Aqualish has a predilection for 'rock, paper, fusion cutter', I hope the captain sees that as a useful skill

Captain Stone has the last bite of his dinner, he wipes his mouth with his napkin and looking at Rek:

"Well, since it appears we've got a couple minutes before your companions arrive care to join me for dessert? The place looks like a dive but they food is actually really good."

Capt Stone motions for the waitress to come over

[Dood]

[ooc: Let me know when we arrive]

[Whiteness]

"Why thank you Captain, but I am not hungry...and I do believe I see my associates now."

Rek sees Dood and the others and motions them over to the booth.

OOC: I'll let it slide cuz I was going to have them show up during desert...

As the others make their way through the crowd the waitress comes over and Capt Stone orders a Mustafar Lavaslide for desert. As Dood, T'el and Bulwark arrive Capt Stone gestures you to have a seat:

"So you be Mr. Baniss's companions." Looking at Rex "Interesting group you run with son." Then looking at the rest of the group: "So you're looking for passage. Tell me gentlemen, what takes you my direction? And what skills might you have that my crew and I might find helpful during this trip?"

[Cuspar]

Bronto once again grunts and pounds his fist into his hand. Twice, this time.

[Dood]

Dood reaches across the table to shake the captain's hand

"Work, mostly. Our previous employment opportunities here seem to have run their course rather abruptly. Turns out our most recent employer was something of an unsavory sort - mixed up in some rather shady dealings that made various authorities unhappy with him and thereafter remove him from the productive flow.

Now, personally, I don't think any of us had any problems with the fellow, and he was polite enough to keep us out of the septic part of his loops, as it were. Still, society's got its rules, so says Common Sense. But what's good for society in this case was a little ungood for us and we find ourselves a collection of talented folk without any source of income."

Dood tries to flag the waitress to order an ale.

"Ricky, here, heard about your plight - an understaffed ship trying to get underway - and being the hardworking, talented fellows that we are, we thought maybe some goodness could coincide for both sides of the equation. I'm not expert, but I think Common Sense would agree."

[Furiel]

Capt Stone shakes Dood's hand.

"Well, are you looking or work, or are you just looking or passage? Rek here said you were just looking for passage to Castell, now you're telling me you're looking for a job. Which is it?" the Captain says looking at the group skeptically.

[Dood]

Capt Stone shakes Dood's hand.

"Well, are you looking or work, or are you just looking or passage? Rek here said you were just looking for passage to Castell, now you're telling me you're looking for a job. Which is it?" the Captain says looking at the group skeptically.

Dood laughs.

"I suppose that wasn't very clear. It's a little of column a and a little of column b. My cousin's former business partner is starting a new business of some sort - droid polishing or machining or disintegration - I can't recall off the top of my head - on Castrell and it was suggested that some or all of us might find a job for ourselves there (I confess I'm pretty sure my chances are personally better than might).

As a result of our recent employment status change, however, trying to get the entire team there to take these jobs is a bit of a headache on the wallet. When Rex here found out about your ship, well it seemed a bit like the ability to kill two gundarks with one nerf. You get additional crew with a history of being able to work on ships - from piloting to fixing to cleaning", Dood nods in Bronto's direction on this last one, "and we get passage to Castrell without having to figure out which of us gets left behind or whose organs we need to sell off to get there. The win quotient is sufficiently high here that Common Sense would probably dump us into space if we didn't pursue it."

"Well, as I was mentioning to Rex before your arrival, piloting is one thing I don't need help with. Nothing personal, but I'm not letting some guys I just met at the helm of my ship. You want passage, then you're going to have to work for it. Since I don't know you then you're going to be getting some of the least skilled jobs on board. This is not a luxury liner, it's a cargo ship. If you think you can talk your way on board then loaf off, that's not going to happen. If it does then you're going to find yourselves enjoying the jail on Castell as I'll turn you in on charges of mutiny. Speaking of mutiny, you will surrender all of your weaponry to me at the time of boarding. They will be returned to you upon our arrival I assure you, but I'm not going to let you take my ship either. You do your job with no complaints and make it a smooth trip and I might even give you a little pay as well as passage. Those are my conditions. Take them or leave them." Captain Stone takes another bite of his desert while he waits for your answer

[Whiteness]

What a fool I am, of course! The Aqualish must have some janitorial skills and wishes to convey that he will pound out dirt and stains! I must inform him that cleaning aboard a ship may require more specialized tools.

[Cuspar]

Bronto pantomimes shovelling, and makes an angry noise.

[Whiteness]

I must remember to ask Bronto to teach me this native dance of his...
