Otherwise her xenophobia steers her clear of the Extolay folk - bunch of xenophobes!

Nevertheless she's keen for a run ashore at the "safe/neutral" star port restaurants and bars.

Flighty will help out as well.

Karcsi will do anything to help so he can get off the ship and look around.

Karcsi

Donovan nods to the Lieutenant. "I think we will keep the controversial goods aboard the ship this time around. I have no desire to go looking for local troubles." He nods to Karsci as they walked through. "Standby, we will be having freight to move a little later in the day. They should about empty the hold."

He will arrange to hire a local broker. Donovan will sell his cargo if the price is good but expects to make more money at the next two ports. He will also be looking for low passengers as well as the consignment freight.

Eris wrote: ↑Tue Jan 21, 2025 8:44 amBack in sickbay, is 'Robin' going to broach the subject of the patients in low berth to the Doctor? He doesn't seem to notice that you have another low berth in operation so you don't have to bring it up unless you want to do so.

Zaki points to the two shipwreck survivors. "We found these two in a shipwreck outside Imperial space. They appear to be Imperial citizens, and this is the first port we've visited that has the technology to possibly resuscitate them. Would you be able to care for them?"

Doctor Brock blinks several times, then says, "Found in a shipwreck outside of Imperial Space, you say?"

He thinks a minute, "Yes, let me see what you have on them?"

While looking the reports and diagnostics over he says glancing at Zaki occasionally, "There will be forms to fill out on this. Depending upon where and how you found them, the Navy might get involved and that would probably keep you here for a month."

"This one I think, yeah. Extolay has the medical know how and technology to save this one." he shakes his head, "This other one, though, we can try here, but even if we can save the life, I'm not sure the life we save will be worth saving...too much damage to the brain." he looks up, "By the looks of the data here, both of these folks must have been in low for years! I surprised you got them stable and were able to keep them stable."

"I suppose I could put these two down to low berth malfunctions on the report that you saved and brought in for care. That'll satisfy the Port Authority." he says, "I would have to smooth things with the Medical Establishment here on Extolay a bit to get them admitted to the hospital and cover some expenses in doing it, but that would change more of the forms you fill out and given how Extolay does things certainly keep the Imperial Navy out of things, too."

"Yeah, I could handle this for you, but I'm afraid your good deed is going to cost you a bit...if you get what I'm saying?"

Doug is glad to accept your help and puts you to work making notes of what the diagnostics he set up report back, so he can analyze them later while he does work on things now. He'll also have you checking wiring runs through out the ship looking for any potential problems as, "That hasn't been done since we started. Bob and I were too busy with other things, but it ought to be done. Just to make sure nothing is lurking for the wrong time to bite us."

Both those tasks are within your wheelhouse and will take you about 30 hours of work to complete over the week.

With Flighty and Sigrun working together you can get everything done that Doug doesn't have to do in only 20 hours!

Karcsi

Karcsi would probably be of most help working with Donovan. There are going to be three Importers, along with work crews, showing up to get their freight deliveries. Karcsi could help with the unloading and making sure that none of the local workers get sticky fingers....if you get what I mean.

Karcsi is happy to do that, moving things around is easy for him. ...and beating heads.

"Whatever it takes, but I'd rather not get involved with the authorities," Zaki replies.

Doctor Brock smiles slightly, "Oh course, of course. Being a merchant vessel you don't want to be stuck in this system for weeks on end. Hum, well. I think 500 credits would insure that the right paperwork is filed and these folks are taken off your hands." adding, "Does that sound appropriate to you?"

He offers his hand to see if Zaki will agree with the deal adding at the same time, "Of course, I might have to cover expenses on the Hospital end, so I might have to come back for a little more to ease things through on that side of things. That shouldn't be more than another 500 or so."

"Say, 500 now and no more than 500 later?"

"That is fair," Zaki says, taking his hand for a shake. "I honestly have no idea who they are, but I'd sure like for someone to care for me if I was in their position. This is the least I can do for them. And the most, under the circumstances."

Doctor Brock smiles as he shakes Zaki's hand, "All right then, I'll arrange for your two problems to be taken off you hands, while you arrange to get together the sum we spoke of."

"I'll be back within the hour, if that's okay with you?" he says then leaves with the Lt.

OOC: So, is Zaki discussing the bribe with anyone or just getting the money out of the ship's accounts on her own?

Only a few minutes after the two Port Officials leave the ship, the first of the three crews looking to unload their freight arrive.

Donovan and Karsci are busy for the rest of the afternoon dealing with the unloading and signing off on the three freight lots.

Flighty and Sigrun are back in Engineering with Doug doing engineering stuff.

Karcsi will be sure to buy food and drink for the loaders and laborers that work on the cargo. And a bottle of booze to share afterwards.

"Well worth it," Flighty assures her. "The ship will cover it, so hit Donovan up for it."

Donovan nods and codes 5000 credits into her account. "Also give them a 2000 credit account to get them back on their feet once they have recovered."

Zaki hugs him briefly. "Thank you, I will do that."

Zaki contacts Doctor Brock and arranges for the transfer and payment. She asks about swapping low berths for empty ones, and about setting up the accounts for the patients. If one doesn't make it, then the entire amount would go to the surviving patient.

Donovan suggests to Flighty that the crew spend a day or two while he works on cargo in the Plith of Extolay. "It's supposed to be the nicest place in the starport. We may be able to pick up rumors or leads on cargo there."

"Sounds like a plan, but I'm working with our engineer, so he'll tell me if I get time off for good behavior."
