Mother suggests that we sell our cargo and entertain fresh prospects. I agree that you should see what sort of price you can get for the Electronics. We can always reject the offer if it isn't want we want.

Fuel and life support are standard costs, of course you could also refuel at the gas giant. [OOC: note that you already have a jump tape for Cheapside->Bastinadi)] The chandler does not have jump cassettes for Bastinadi or any other system without a space lane available. In fact, he has not heard of a ship coming from or going to Bastinadi for over a year. Logan will buy the life support. He will discuss fuel with the rest of the crew, it would be cheaper to skim the GG, but it would probably add a few days to our stay here in the Cheapside system getting out to the GG and doing the skimming. Is it worth it to save the money? What do you all think?

On the other hand, if you refuel here, you can depart Bastinadi in a hurry without having to refuel...

Mother tries schmoozing with a starport worker that we have regular contact with in an effort to get a lead on a reliable broker (streetwise?). OOC: We should probably wait and see what our profit from this trip will be before deciding on the fuel situation.

"Never pass up a chance to fuel up," Henry says. "There are a lot a scouts out there still alive because they followed that one rule.
"Besides, anybody else would fuel up. We don't want to stand out."

Hey, does someone want to take over role play of Victor, or have me run him as an NPC? As an NPC, that would leave Henry as the defacto captain (I don't like NPC captains)...
I just want to make sure we're we don't get stalled.
Mother gets a lead on a +4 broker, he is able to broker a 150 kcr per ton price (of which he would take 30 kcr commission, netting you 120 kcr per ton).
Sharron gets a lead to the best starport bar, the Brass Cradle, (well, really almost the only one... the other one is more like a tiny gambling den that serves a handful of drinks). Also, a pointer to where to go should she desire to leave the starport.

OOC: Well I'd do it, but I'm already running two characters. I'm good with Henry being captain and Victor being an NPC.
Mother thinks we should take the deal.
Sharron is going to hit the Brass Candle while the ship gets ready, keeping an ear to the general conversation for anything lucrative (or maybe rumors about Bastinadi).

Sounds like a good deal, let's take it. "You mind if I join you at the Brass Candle for a beersi or two?" Logan asks. On the way over he asks if she's had any luck finding a new cargo for the ship? OOC: Personal concealed weapons are regulated and restricted here. Does that mean "open carry" of a pistol or blade is okay?

[Sharron to Logan] "Sure. You're buyin'. As for the cargo prospects, you'll have to ask Mother. I prefer trading bullets and blows." ffilz, Sharon has her sword strapped to her back. If we can "open carry" concealable weapons, then she'll bring her revolver too. Mother will go ahead and make the transaction for the cargo sale, then start looking for any prospects. She'll contact Logan and Sharron everyone if there are any "hiccups".

OOC: Personal concealed weapons are regulated and restricted here. Does that mean "open carry" of a pistol or blade is okay? OOC: The description for Law Level 5 is "Personal concealable firearms (such as pistols and revolvers) prohibited." So not even open carry. Blades are ok, concealed or not. Note however that the law level of the world doesn't apply to the star port, at least not for Imperial star ports. In this case, with an active war zone developing on world, and this being a Class C starport, I'm going to rule that the law level in the starport is also effectively 5, however, registered crew and booked passengers on imperial ships may carry any personal weapons (any Book 1 weapon, but no heavy weapons).

Logan will make sure we're all registered as crew on an Imperial Flagged ship as part of his earlier actions, then. He'll be wearing his pistol in his holster. Logan sincerely hopes he doesn't have to draw it, but better to have it available and not need it than need it and not have it available. While heading to the tavern, Logan will keep his eye on the neighborhood for dangers. He'll look the tavern from over before opening the door for Sharron and allowing her to enter first. Once inside Logan will look around and suggest we take a table about half way from the center of the room and a wall with what might be a back door...if available.

I hope everyone finds the thread splitting helpful.
Sharon and Logan heading to the Brass Candle, anyone else?

If everything on the ship is squared away, Zeb will help Mother with any negotiations with the broker.

Henry will stay aboard and make sure the ship is squared away.
Ans yes, as an IISS vessel (reserve), it is definitely Imperial flagged.

The Brass Candle is a decent "bar" (using Gamelords Startown Liberty). The place is pretty quiet, a few star port personel taking lunch and not very talkative. Prices:
Mild intoxicants: Cr2 per person per round. Average intoxicants: Cr4 per person per round. Strong Intoxicants: Cr6 per person per round. Powerful intoxicants: Crl0 per person per round. Food is available: Cr5 to Cr20 per person Tips totaling 15% of the total spent are expected.
The entertainment during the day is just the jukebox in the corner.
After an hour or so, 6 people (4 men, 2 women) in jump suits with patches identifying them as crew of the Astoria enter. They seem very agitated. maybe even wanting to start a fight.
Who is actually here at the bar?

Sharron and Logan, at least. Sharron tries to keep a surreptitious eye on the Astoria group. She orders an "appetizer" (Cr5) and a mild intoxicant (Cr2), but nurses it.

Zeb finishes whatever he's doing on the ship then wanders around the town to see what it's like.

Zeb will stick to the star port right now. But he will try to find out more about the situation with the military.
Since personal weapons are allowed here, he will bring them with him, just in case.

"Do you want to hear about the war? Or something else?" "Let's say, something else." Logan grins, "Unless someone is shooting at me I try to avoid wars."

foxroe what are Mother and Victor doing (recall that you took on Victor - if someone else wants to play Victor that would be fine also)?

Post by foxroe on Feb 28, 2018 4:05:16 GMT -6
OOC: Um, err... Victor. Right. Let me go back and check his stats/skills before I decide (unless someone else wants Victor?). I think Henry should be the Captain though... unless he doesn't want it.
As for Mother, she'll go ahead and finalize the cargo sale, then start looking for any outbound prospects. She'll contact everyone if there are any "hiccups".
