*Since people on the ground don't want to deal remotely, he has to remember that about groundlings.* "Ha, I guess that's me now."
Tut looks around to see if anyone heard him.
How many tons does my contact at Decuir have? Do they need anything?
Tut reaches out to Mick, "Hey, I am heading out to Decuir in a couple days to buy some fabric at a good price, I'm gonna hire a big truck and maybe a driver, depending on how much there is. Should i bring anything? I have a call into them now."

Re: Y2156.12.09 TRADE & ADVENTURE
“Sort of, Tut. Since you’re not leaving right away, I can look for things Decuir might need. I’ll get back to you.
But if you’re going to Purveax to sell the textiles, I’m going to ask you to try to pick up and bring back to camp as many tons of Data Cubes as I can get Purveax to manufacture between when I get there, today probably, and when you can get there.
I have a potentially valuable sales pitch for those Data Cubes in each of Beau’s poor settlements. There are 17 poor settlements we could help and, in doing so, we should profit. I’ll want the one ton of cubes per settlement. Total of 17.
Oh yah, getting to Purveax is going to take a flight if you want to do it in a timely manner.”
Mick would be supportive (and get involved) with an illegal pharma trade for drugs that are not narcotic, addictive, or harmful in reasonable moderation. If Nyota confirms they are not harmful, Mick would change his mind…after all, the gang is getting into all kinds of shady and Beau-illegal things at the moment…harboring a New Dawn survivor, assisting a fugitive, selling HE ammo, equipping the ship with a suspected alien brain, restoring an un-licensed ship, pilfering a ship boneyard and profiting from it’s parts, dealing in un-reported trade, and planning to attend a Black Market.
Mick might want a good personal stock of psi and normal talent performance enhancers..assuming they are medically safe.

DJ met with the AKOA and shared that the group had both agreed to help and had a lead on where the TRILL would be. They were excited to learn about the Black Market on the 15th … perhaps a bit too excited as the surface of the Landing Zone spontaneously erupted in a moss-like covering of small colorful flowers that covered the sintered earth landing surface, the surrounding rock wall, the stone pylons and bronze plaques of rules, and your supply crates resting on the ground waiting to be loaded. Aiza was visibly excited by the news and appeared to pay no attention to the sudden eruption of plant life while Ilona was more concerned and glanced around to see if anyone was looking.
Joe dropped a crate and Mick broke the awkward moment “Happy news, I think. We are happy to help. In addition to any payment we agree upon, we might find ways that you can help us, too.” Mick extended a hand and received an enthusiastic shake from the excited Aiza. As Mick attempted to reach out empathically, Nira crossed her arms:
Nira: “It isn’t very polite to try and make people like you.” she stated matter of factly.
Aiva, in contrast, suddenly became quite excited “Very cool. Can you do anything else?” he asked with childlike enthusiasm.
Ilona, the old man, seemed unhappy with the potential attention all this might attract “Perhaps we should board the transport and discuss this in greater privacy.”
[Unless someone has something they need to do IN the Colony … DJ, Joe, Mick & Nyota finish loading 1 tonne of TRADE for St Oyland (Cr 7000 FMV) and head to Purvaux (19 hrs) … ETA Y2156.12.11:0200]
Guy, Hol & Tut are in a large truck (20 tonne cargo capacity) headed towards Decuir (16 hours) … ETA Y2156.12.10:2200

Re: Y2156.12.09 TRADE & ADVENTURE
Mick makes no attempt to hide his enthusiasm.
"In all honesty, that wasn't as much an attempt to change your emotion, though that's what I did. I really wanted to discover if you'd notice. And you did! Fantastic! From what I just saw of flora growing in baked earth, you know much about this stuff. I want to learn. Will you teach me and Joe more about our abilities? I am only telepathic. Joe is telepathic and telekinetic. We honestly don't know a lot more about all this than that.
Specifically, what can I do? I can soothe animal and human emotions...almost HYPNOTIZING them, and I can make people fade off in a DAYDREAM. Useful against these oppressive bureaucratic government when they get too interested in not their business.
If you're going with us on our trade journey, we'll need to get you cold weather clothing...just in case. Let me hunt some up. I think childrens sizes might fit...poorly."

See the new TOPICS for Y2156.12.11 created to follow two short trade adventures in two different locations (and make things easier for players to keep locations separated).
