"Yeah, yeah, okay." Hart shrugs, "I ain't really doing anything else. I'll be ready."

While Zaki waits three people pass her in the corridor. Of the three only one, a thin man with a long scar on the side of his face and a limp gives her a second glance, but only a glance as he continues down the corridor to the lift and takes it down.

Hart opens the door with a minute to spare. He is wearing his demob grey jumpsuit. His hair is slicked down and there is less stubble on his chin.

"Where to now?" he asks.

OOC: You can play more of this out, but mostly you're just getting Hart aboard the yacht with the promise of 20,000 credits paid by Lady Jane. Hart isn't going to object to that kind of money, and once you get him aboard he's going to disappear into a cabin and stay there until you're off planet and in jump space.

As the man passes, Zaki keys up her display to take a video of the man until he disappears into the lift.

Sounds good.

Pedro takes out the documents that were delivered by Haber's people late last night and looks them over. They are a pass to the GP Salvage Yard for up to 4 people good today and tomorrow along with a photo map of the Yard showing two smaller ships (200 to 400 dton) ships with circles around them. They are right next to a large ship...your real target.

Pedro (and?) take a self-driving ground vehicle across the starport and to a large fenced off area. There is a gate in the fence with a sign above it saying General Products Salvage Yard. A guard shack is just inside the open gate with a bored looking guard sitting in a chair. The large gates are open, but a barrier arm is blocking the entrance.
When the car rolls up and stops, (clearly not an Uber or it have driven right through! :-) Pedro leans out and says to the guard "Hola, compa! We have a daypass here, want to take a voya at some of the ships here" he offers the pass.

"Um?" says the guard as he takes the pass from Pedro.

He looks it over and looks at Pedro, "Yeah, looks fine. Put on these badges. They'll track where you are while you're in the Yard. There's a couple of wreaks in there with Off Limits on them, that means stay out. Otherwise, look around all you want. Got it?"

"Good!" he raises the bar and waves your car through. You can take manual control and drive it down the avenues with piles of junk and ship parts piled along the road. Wreaked ships tower over the piles here and there. There is no traffic and other than a few birds flying over head the Yard seems empty.

Someone has to chime in and say they're in the car with me or my brilliant plan to get inside the Kuinir isn't going to work

"Domo, compa!" He's grinning as he heads off towards the area marked on his map. He turns to his companion. "You ever been in a Koonie, [insert name here]? My aunties last tour was on one. It was a dump, creaky old kakio of a ship, all the crew were either shorts like my auntie because they were passing by their mustering out port, or doonfas who had been kicked off of every other ship, but not quite badly enough to kick of of the Navy. I can show you where they'd put their bar. She used to tell this hilarious tale of the Captain showing up one night with his latest pretty Looie...

And coincidentally, just the same part of the shop that we want to see! :lol:

Kevin's PC is going to be with you, but Kevin is having some problems right now, so I'll NPC Carlos for a wee bit until he gets better access.

"Nope, I've never been in a Koonie." Carlos says grinning, "So show me where this bar was located."

By his player having internet problems and the Ref temporarily taking over. :D

I've looked around and it looks like we're down to 4 active players: Bruce/Pedro, JR/Zaki, Kevin/Carlos, & Nuke66/Edwardo. I might need to open the game for another couple of players just to make sure we have crew for all the ship positions...when y'all get a ship. :)

I don't want to have the game bog down completely.

How about Zaki and Edwardo get done with their tasks early morning and join Pedro on the trip to the General Products Salvage Yards?

If that's okay with y'all, you can jump in where Pedro is driving through the Yard to the location of the Kinunir class hulk.


"Well tovapalya, it's right between these two ships we're going to look at, and it is a long way 'round so we'll just cut through it to the other side, tu va!", Pedro says nodding toward a pair of smaller ships flanking a much larger ship.

The larger ship is the size of a three story building and about 100 meters long. The ships on either side are much smaller. One is the size of a two story building and maybe 50 meters long and the other is smaller still, two story but only about 20 meters long.

As the vehicle you are in draws near you see a sign in front of the large ship saying, Adda Dubsar - Kinunir Class Frontier Cruiser Off limits except by special permission.

Edwardo accompanies Pedro on the scouting mission. "I think we can simply pass a badge and someone can get the task done." he says.

No, the two smaller ships were old merchants that got too old to be good for anything but parts and scrap, and the Adda Dubsar never got completely built. If you're thinking about holes in the hull, you will find plenty of openings scattered around the Adda Dubsar where hull plating was never installed and where hatches were never put on.

You don't see any guards and there isn't a fence around the big ship. You'll want to look out for some sort of security, though, because I figure it'll be there in some way.

"I am thinking they only track the badges, but I could be wrong, I don't know much about that stuff." Edwardo adds. "Only Pedro needs to sneak in and scan the room, should only take three minutes or so."
