She introduces herself and then orders an ale and chats with the barman while letting Carlos talk business with Harval Pinnack. Her movements are natural despite her thigh holster and shoulder rig as she hitches herself onto a bar stool from where she can watch the room. She confidently speaks to the barman in her "sing song" Sword World accent "I see by the sign on the way in that your town has lost people. I'm sorry for it. That seems a lot all at once for natural causes. Was there an accident?".

"Nah! No accident." he says wiping the bar, "Another family moved up to the high plateau that they're terraforming where they won't have to wear these bloody nose plugs."

"I reckon they'll be moving Delgado's star port up there a'fore long" he adds, "Then there will be a mass exodus to New Town, I imagine. Here's your drink."

Over at the table, Carlos and Zaki take chairs next to Harval Pinnack who says, "I'm Pinnack the best local broker here. If you've got goods to move, I'm your man!"

OOC: What are the others here doing?

Emily will get a drink and find a spot to keep an eye on the bar and her shipmates.

Carlos grins lopsidedly. "So. Let's have a drink, and you can tell me what all you got here to trade out."

Sigrun makes a dent in her ale in one appreciative pull and then asks "Are your young people moving out to New Town too? I have a distant relative from the Sword Worlds who I thought to look up while I'm here". She smiles ruefully "The "distance" is because she's a nice enough kid - but always protesting one thing or another. This time its your environment. She's the type to get offended on someone else's behalf. If you know of such a group I'd like to know where to find them".

Zaki sits quietly and takes notes as needed using her holo display.

Pinnack puts his mug down and gets a sly glint in his eye as he leans forward, "I just happened to acquire some industrial robots not long ago. No real call for them here on Tionale, but they could bring a pretty profit for someone selling them on a world with a better industrial base. I got 4 of them, each take up 2 ton space, and I want 2 million credits for 'em." Robots (Industrial), 4 @ 500,000 cr each, 8 dtons space.

"I also got 30 dtons of Silicon blanks ready for turning into computer chips." he says, "No good on Tionale 'cause we don't have a fab plant, but like the robots they'll sell well on worlds with higher tech than we have. I can let you have 'em cheap, um, say...90 k for the lot?" Computer Parts (refined silicon blanks), 30 dtons @ 3,000 cr per/ton

"Then, I've got 4 dtons of brass." he taps the side of his nose, "Loaded brass, if you catch my drift, can't let that fall into the wrong hands, of course, but you seem like an honest feller, so I'd sell that to you. Um, it's in 1 ton palates, so I can't break it down more than that...say 30 k per palate? " Ammunition, 4 dtons @ 30,000 cr/ton


Any of that sound interesting to ya?" he says with a smile and a wink before taking his mug back up and drinking.

Zaki checks the quoted prices against the ship's database for similar cargo prices.

The prices all look good in comparison, too good? In any case, it crosses Zaki's mind to wonder how Industrial Robots, tons of Ammunition...if that's what the "brass" actually is, and high tech silicon blanks showed up on a backwater like Tionale.
