They will easily replace 5 tons of electronics for either the chemicals or luxury consumables. Your choice. Unfortunately, the prices are broker set here, but he does give you .5 tons of a new ore, "Maybe you have have this tested and find a market, if you do I will give you lifetime 15% on it...

Dev accepts Hiro's suggestions for the cargo and begins to negotiate. Her intention is to follow his suggestion -- at this point she wants to be gone and free of the rotten dealings here -- but she is alert enough to see if there is movement on the electronics and the uncommon raw materials as well....

Unless you have any questions, the ships ownership are transferred. The ship is transferred, and Dev hands over the login codes for the yacht. Marco Hulsebosch Unsure of any specific role, will help in any practical way and organise his own retrieval of personal effects. Dev sidles up beside him an...

That sounds good. It would be nice if we had a long-term goal. I'm willing to do the trade missions to keep the ship running, but I think Dev sees herself as swimming in a bigger pond than that. She wants to take down governments, or break trade monopolies, or whatever. She wants *fun* and to be tal...

Dev Advocate: 2d6+1=7 (plus any mods from the negotiations so far).

As a player, I am tired of this. For some reason this has become a non-negotiable point and I do not understand why. I feel my contribution to the story is not helping, and is not changing the ingame world in any way.

I would like us to move to a point where player action is going to have an effect.

Dev nods to Hiro, and is pleased as he puts Blue in his place.

She will not let her lawyer work for her. He has accomplished nothing and she dismisses him. She will provide whatever legal services are required this evening, and will retire to the ship when they are done. She is not eating dinner.

Dev is impressed, and yet again sees the value in having Hiro as a partner. This is the clarity she was looking for.

"Well said, Captain."

When she makes eye contact with Hiro, he has a raised eyebrow, as if to ask a question: "Should I speak?" Dev nods to Hiro. She is disappointed in the lawyer she has hired, but knows that she can't say anything at this time. Certainly he was not needed for this, and his unwillingness to w...

And now I am confused by the next in-game post, and the anger coming from the lawyer (which I hope is from the NPC, and not from the Ref). I did not think what I had posted was out of line, but it may be that I have communicated poorly along the way. Please forgive me if I am misunderstanding the to...

weird double post

Not a pain at all, and it's completely legit. I'm sorry if it looks like I'm dominating -- I can dial back. Dev has no inclination to be the captain, she has no real viable space skills, and is built as a social character. She's taken the captain's cabin presumptuously, but on the ship can serve as ...

"Mr Hulsebosch is correct: his share does appear legitimate. This changes the understanding we have, Octavia, and it is not likely to be quickly solved. Fortunately we have time, and there is no need to come to a hurried resolution. Now, gentlemen, I would like to speak with Mr. Algos, and som...

"We have retrieved your ship for you, Mr. Blue. It seems to have been through a lot, including its previous crew who left it unsafe for travel or for occupation. We have, nevertheless, brought it here for you. As I understand it, and if the preliminary conversations with Tyler here are correct...

Dev can hear Marco talking about his past, but she's not listening in detail. Her attention is elsewhere. She thinks back to her conversation with Hiro, earlier, where she had told him the figure of profits. ( "12k or so," she says. "Good for a day, but not the way one would want to m...

This is the sort of encounter Dev lives for. It's a social, wityh a bunch of people who don't know her but have likely made judgments beforehand. "Gentlemen, how are you all?" she asks as she throws her arms in the air, performing introductions elaborately and ensuring every one receives a...

Standing at the window of the lounge, Devereaux is able to watch Hiro and his stevedores bringing the loads of baggage from his former ship. "We're presuming a lot here," she thinks, more more capable of seeing the faults in others than those in herself or her won immaculately unpacked clo...

Dev introduces herself as Monte leaves his cabin. "I guess you've been hired. Welcome aboard. Has anyone discussed your duties yet?" She takes out her handcomp, and scrills throught eh brief resume that was uploaded. "Engineer? Do you want me to show you where the engines are on this ...

"He knows how to make an entrance. You go ahead," Dev suggests, confident she could veto him if it didn't work out. She sees he's big, and perhaps knows his way around the ship. Better than she does, at any rate.

On the bridge, Dev seals the room and activates a screen, and allows power to go to the turret. " You're hot, Garrett" she tells him. She looks on the screens to see if there are any indications of boarders or people on the exterior of the hull. On the screens, she sees Scott approach, and...
