Raven find Harmanpreet relatively quickly - it's not far from the dock and appears to be an office by an airlock.

Reven Stiilpahth "Hello. I'm told i can buy ice from you."

He points up to the Heavenites and to the dozen and a half children.

"Shall we? And smile openly."


Smiling falsely is not something I make a habit of, but I will try.

She makes a grotesque caricature of a smile, which amuses her enough to provoke a genuine (though not exactly broad) one.

You lead, I will look decorative, until it seems useful to interject.

You can - Cr 200/dTon, straight off the pocket.

Reven Stiilpahth contacts the Queen.. "Captain, the price is Cr 200/dTon. Shall i proceed?"

"Yes, please," Indrani replies.

Pranit slightly put off.

"Is that your ship following us, yes or no.

I don't need this stress, we took a 4 day trip to aboid the constant attacks and security issues.
I ended up tracking the ship on and off for almost 2 and a half straight days. You could have sent us a tightbeam."

Looks around for his food.

"Your partner like phrases are not help either, how do you know our aims?"

Pranit, who wishes the woman would show with drinks...

BackworldTraveller wrote: ↑Tue Jan 24, 2023 10:24 am Following you? Yes. Absolutely. I'm sorry to hear that you detected us. We will be more cautious of your capabilities in future.

We wouldn't want you to come to grief at the hands of "Pirates". You have rattled many cages and the animals are all agitated. Some have claws. Teeth. Missiles even.

As to your aims. You have no cargo. You have the daughter of one missing crew of the Queen aboard - one who has stated that you are going to find her dad. You were involved in a shoot out with police on Sparks yet are not being chased as fugitives.

I think that the Belt authorities have you out like a stalking horse while they wait to see who bites. We'd prefer that you didn't get chewed when that happened. Did you know that one of the Belt's major astronomical arrays is watching your progress? They have caused millions of credits of delay in major science programs by doing that. Now, we can work together or separately but know you won't be working alone.[/dialog]

"I'm tired of innuendos, and we make our own decisions, your crew do not control our mission. Why do you care about us, no one else seems to. I appreciate the information about the array, which one?"

Pranit

I feel that your decisions are influenced by God. And in this case I am offering you the opportunity to decide to work with us. As to which array? I'm sure you can use your sources to find that out. As partners, that would be easier though."

It's not my ship, I'm for lack of anything else the XO and only have to do with this ship since it was released from the Goverment.

I agree with you there we are a object of attention, but to be honest, we are not 'tugging' at anything, just trying to make some money.

If there is a bubble ship, good for it, I just want to support myself and my family.

Question: don't you think we left earth for a good reason?"

The Bindoner wrote: ↑Wed Feb 15, 2023 8:43 pm Nālani leans forward.

That is what it sounds like. We are to draw trouble on ourselves, and they will follow that trouble to a fabulous ship, which they will use to spread their faith. Presumably we are to do this out of some religious duty? Because I do not hear any other incentive.

I am here to make money. That is what I put faith in. That and owning a ship.

If there is a business proposal, I will listen.

BackworldTraveller wrote: ↑Thu Feb 16, 2023 12:20 pm A business proposal.

Of course.

You aid us and we aid you in finding the ship. We get to make a copy. The original is yours. How about that?
