Sazqelmiqariepr, do what you can, and good luck to you. Do you need to spruce up your wardrobe? I can fund that.
Daehaggzoegr answers: I don't believe so. They have a nasty reputation. But I'm fairly new here and don't ask too many "why" questions of people who hire my ship for unspecified (non-military) activities in dangerous systems.The Bindoner wrote: ↑Sat Nov 19, 2022 9:46 pm Rradzoka snaps out of his brooding.
Duelling sometimes solves things. But this time, well, it’s pack. Can’t fight them for saying I’m against them. But if I find this Oelue, I can fight him.
Not tooth and claw though. I’ve got and idea about him and his ship. Got a friend in port admin, I’ll ask about the ship. Where it is, who’s on it. Maybe they get inspected, if we give a reason. Impounded, if they have contraband.
For now, I’ll do recruiting the boring way. Agencies, datanet recruitment forums, all that. Then, bars.

Daehaggzoegr, Tsek, tell me plain if Uziha is funding this venture or not. If they are, it changes how I deal with this. A tick is a different thing than a skeeter bite.
And Daehaggzoegr, thanks, I do have ads for you to post, and the cash. Again, I invest my own money, you can tell anyone this.
Rradzoka uses his comm to register accounts and place job adverts: Admin roll: [_2d6]=(6+5)=11 +1 Int, +1 Skill = 13
Rradzoka also sends a text to Dzektsavurzouk Llorsfung asking to meet.
Saz leaves the crowd and makes his way into town. The port is about the only place where Human clothing is regularly available - or the Imperial Quarter (a space now only partly occupied and definitely less imperial).cybersavant wrote: ↑Sun Nov 20, 2022 5:50 amSazqelmiqarieprThe Bindoner wrote: ↑Sat Nov 19, 2022 9:46 pm Rradzoka snaps out of his brooding.

"I suppose i do at that. Can't go about looking like a slave, can i? Thank you for the offer. I will add it to my growing tab. I think, for now, one set of good clothes to get me in the Captain's Bars."
Self-interest. If you are in my pack, you reflect on me, I can’t have you making us look cheap.Sazqelmiqariepr

And Tsek adds No! No. Agnuez has never struck me as that sort. He deals in useful things, not people and their vices. Trades fairly. Stays legal. I spoke with him because he'd just sold a cross-border transport business and thus had cash to spare.
They both sound like they believe he's not involved.
Private booth.Dzektsavurzouk returns your text, suggesting a cozy, but pricy, Souggvuez-run eatery on the edge of the tourist quarter, not far from the port.
Table for 2?
Rradzoka quickly finds that the job board registration process is quite quick, but the various bodies want either a percentage of salary offered, an up-front fee or both. Typical rates are 6%-36% of salary and/or fees of up to Cr5000. It's hard to broker a deal remotely - and it isn't really your skill set. Agnuez (or one of his minions) may be good for that.
Everyone thinks your adds are excellent

His trail from the Hotel to the quarter is straightforward.
A Streetwise roll would be useful for now (+0 skill; +1 EDU). As would a separate Recon (-3 for skill but +2 for PSI).
Erogksu is pleased to see Denghez, until Denghez starts asking questions about the Uzhia. He then looks affronted. I'd never do anything for them! he states emphatically.AndyS_66 wrote: ↑Mon Nov 21, 2022 10:45 am Apologies for the delay in replying.
Following Rradzoka’s advice, Denghez will go and have a friendly chat with Erogksu. He lacks any subtly but rather than intimidate, or threaten, the younger pup, he’ll try and learn is Erogksu knows anything about Uziha and who has been spreading rumours to the pack.
I'm afraid the Fu Gora is off world at present on UFA business. For private business we will contact her Secretary. For UFA business we will contact the UFA Department of External Affairs and ask for the Windhorn Pact of Two section.The Bindoner wrote: ↑Mon Nov 21, 2022 12:07 pm Rradzoka contacts his mother:
Mum, I just found out what rumours are going around about me. I want to reassure you they’re lies. You know that, of course. Why’d I be hiding out here after a slave break, only to work for Uziha?
I need someone who knows media, who can put the message out. I’d never work for Uziha, and I wouldn’t hire any fool who believes I would. Know anyone? I've got a budget, and a contract for them.
Sazqelmiqariepr pauses briefly , contemplating abandoning the Vargr and entering the consulate - but he owes his freedom to them. Once the mission is over; once he's repaid his debt.Adjacent to the "Todd Diplomatic Services" building, there is a small store that sells practical and stylish clothes at reasonable prices and made to various fashions. It is a veritable goldmine, and seems to have a tailor that also provided uniform to the various consular staffs in the area. It can provide wear for formal, informal or work situations, in space or on the planet.
Saz looks at the clothes available. They vary from middle-class to definitely classy; with price tags from Cr70 to Cr120 for the major items - Practical underwear is cheaper by a factor of 10, some formal garments stretch to 10 times those prices. They also have a bespoke service. Those items will be more expensive still...Dress for a state ball could reach 12,000 or so, but a formal, hand stitched, business suit would come in at Cr200+cybersavant wrote: ↑Tue Nov 22, 2022 8:35 amSazqelmiqariepr pauses briefly , contemplating abandoning the Vargr and entering the consulate - but he owes his freedom to them.

He enters the store and looks around. Once an employee approaches or is spotted he says, "I need a new set of clothes. As you can see - i had a rather unfortunate .... run-in. Something in the line of high end work clothes, not quite formal, but something befitting a ... starship officer. May i see your inventory that fits that? And what are your prices?"

He will try and find a spot where he can keep an eye on the Human and Vargr so he can see who they’re watching for. If possible he will send a surreptitious pic of the two to the others to see if they know who they are. It appears that they have been following Saz.
Denghez only has a view from above - Getting a good picture isn't likely unless they look at you imaging them. A few attempts proves that this is so. However, he does send a message to the group warning them of the pair, and their accomplices.AndyS_66 wrote: ↑Mon Nov 21, 2022 10:45 amDenghez will thank Erogksu and promise to buy him a drink soon.

Kishiran moves off with aplomb and circles aimlessly for a few minutes before coming to a halt at a junction. Well I couldn't see anyone following us he says.Demilich wrote: ↑Tue Nov 22, 2022 4:15 pm Yeelau looks over the message with her HUD Display " Somehow, I doubt this is good news." as she approaches her Driver " Going to be a rough ride, assume we are being followed." as she leans forward slightly entering her vehicle, she looks around for anyone watching her.
While trying to capture an image of the pair, he almost misses Yeelau exiting the building. This causes the Vargr of the pair to get up, move towards the door, make a call and return to the human.AndyS_66 wrote: ↑Mon Nov 21, 2022 10:45 am He will try and find a spot where he can keep an eye on the Human and Vargr so he can see who they’re watching for.

Yeelau is also convinced that they aren't being followed. Or if they were, Kishiran's aimless wanderings have thrown them.Demilich wrote: ↑Tue Nov 22, 2022 5:42 pm Yeelau looks around from inside the tinted windows
