Simon has assumed control of the ship for takeoff readiness, I don't know what he can do about finding cargo or passengers as he has no skills in those areas. As regards moving the story on, I am all for it, but can I ask if this happens can you say so in the thread so we know there is another star...

I've missed out a few weeks with real life work, but I would like to get back in the game. At the moment the posting format is confusing to me because it's not what I am used to. I'm not into shoehorning the game into the way I want it to be, but the only idea I'd like to put forward is that the GM...

Whilst everyone seemed to rush off on important cargo procurement duties, Simon was happy to remain on the bridge, his efforts to contact trade brokers was not moving forward enough, partly due to his distraction of how the ship's systems had been tuned, he starts trying to reconfigure for a more co...

Simons nods back, "Any assistance appreciated, its been a while since I've done deals."

" Simon , would you contact the local cargo brokers and see if you can find a good cargo for us to buy here that we can sell on Fogbound for a profit. Also find any freight that is bound for Fogbound that we can move at the standard 1 KCr/ton. I'd like to leave here fully loaded." "R...

The tall slim man in the smart vacc suit steps forward, his greying hair cut short and his chiseled features somewhat charming. "Simon Tanaka at your service, Captain, a credible pilot (4) and 7 term in the Merchants. he executes a poor excuse for a salute, clearly not a military trainee, but h...

Cash would be king. Cash, as in commodity currency, not central bank or government backed. The biggest threat is probably a local noble or tyrannical government deciding to make your credit notes worthless through extortion or hyper-inflation, anything can be exchanged into a commodity to be fungib...

Currency, imperial: The basic unit of legal tender in the Imperium is the Imperial credit. Individual worlds may issue their own currencies, and those currencies may or may not be acceptable on other worlds. Similarly, corporations and megacorporations may issue scrip, and its acceptance outside of...

Simon nods at Ana, he double checks the readings and rolls back his vacc suit helmet "Can't wait to meet him!" he remarks, without any sense of sarcasm at all.

Simon has TAS.

Just as an aside, what is the accepted sequence of play here, I am used to characters posting and then the GM responding, is there any sense of order or are we moving the story along on our own at the moment?

Simon continues to check the ship's basic systems bringing it to life, a well drilled exercise for him, "And if someone would be so kind as to grab my case and bring it on board, please?"

Simon follows Ana to the bridge, "In my long an uneventful career, I have yet to find a trading ship worthy of what one may call a design aesthetic, apart from the yachts of the rich and famous, profit line being the thing and all that, they tend to stick airlocks where they can" He locate...

"Environment controls are normally on the bridge on this design, bridge is thataway" , Simon points the direction, it's been a while since he's been on something this small, but he started out his career on small traders, not something you forget easily. He motions for Ana to lead on, cle...

Simon fastens his helmet, then unclips one of the sections of his wheeled case, it is a small compact box with a handle. After tuning in the communicator, he remarks "Toolkit" , indicating the box, "Just in case we come across anything jammed up, lead on McDuff!" and waits for so...
