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."

"Ýmirs eistna, I'd like some time alone with whoever put in this wiring!" It seems like the perfectly serviceable (actually entirely well toned) bottom half of a crew member has been abandoned in the companionway adjacent to a service hatch. "Streð mik! Why use all this stupid sticky tape instead of proper ties?" Meanwhile the sub deck crawlspace now echoes with the disembodied voice of an irritable Sword Worlder "Við hamri Þórs I wouldn't do "half a job" on the latur skíthæll that left this mess!"

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.

Doctor Brock agrees and arrives with two empty low berths which replace the two with the patients. He takes the patients and departs. You notice that the 5000cr move from Zaki's account into his account. You also note that the report he has made doesn't include any mention of the two patients. There are no official records that they were ever aboard The Lucky Chance at all.

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."

With Flighty's approval, Donovan contacts the Plith of Extolay and after a bit of haggling arranges for rooms on the 18th floor of the 20 floor hotel. The top two floors are occupied by the Yacht Race participants, but there is a block of rooms available on the 18th.

The block of rooms consist of bedrooms and a two room suite that consists of a bedroom and sitting room. The block can be configured to give 4 to 6 individual bedroom/ensuites with a common sitting room/mini kitchen. The fewer the bedrooms, the larger the common area will be, but all together you are renting 1200 square feet of space. The block can be configured to have a single shared and lockable point of entry and individual biometric locks for each bedroom.

The price is 2000 cr per night total for the suite of rooms and access to the hotel's private lounge and all amenities. Breakfast in the hotel's dining room is provided, but lunch and dinner are extra, though at a discount. Service to the rooms is available, but extra. Amenities include the dining room/restaurant, two bars (one open and one private), several private meeting rooms, a spa, gym, pool and multiple grav ball courts (think handball in zero g). A casino connects directly to the Plith on one side and to a small arena on the other.

OOC: How many nights are you booking?

"Can we stay for two nights," Zaki asks.

Sigrún is delighted and clearly looking forward both to a run ashore and time in the hotel.

She comes over rather exuberant...

Zaki frowns repressively. "What are you planning? I don't want to spend time in a jail cell."

Zaki frowns repressively. "What are you planning? I don't want to spend time in a jail cell."

Sigrún cheerfully counters "I am planning to win at grav ball... and eat nice food... and do drinks - not at a filthy startown bar... and for none of that time will I have to be me - because I will be "Imperial me"... wearing a false identity but with absolutely nothing to do. No mission... nothing. And I will be with you - I will be me when I am with you. It will be a "holiday" já?"

[ateno]

"Time with out a recycler following your actions and fresh food would be the best, three of those days is better, thanks Captain!.

Donovan speaks up. "The race crews and such are all staying at the hotel in the floors above us. There should be some interesting folks roaming about."

Zali smiles and bestows a hug and a chaste kiss on her lover. "Count me in."

After a busy afternoon of unloading Freight and getting paid for it, working on systems, and disposing two unwanted patients, the crew is ready to button down the ship and head over to the Plith of Extolay for some R&R.

OOC: Your current Cargo Manifest and Finances are up to date, so take a look. As a summary, you have a little over 300,000 cr in your account, 13 tons of spec cargo you can sell, 1 ton of freight bound for Jenghe (so 14 of 82 tons of cargo space currently occupied),and 3 of 10 low berths occupied all the way through to Regina.

I'm not closely tracking your individual cash, but I'm guessing you don't have much. You might what to consider spreading out some "walking around" money to each of the crew for their stay at the Plith.

Donovan mentioned hiring a Broker, I asked for the Broker level he's looking for 1, 2, or 3...it's an Easy Roll (6+) to find one you're looking for at the level you are looking. Do you want me to roll for it, or do you want to roll?

Business Timeline

• Day 1: Land and go through Port Procedures, pay fees, arrange for stay in Port. Deliver Freight and get paid. Disembark passengers. Hire a Broker.
   
• Day 2: Sell any spec cargos you want to sell here (can use Broker here).
   
• Day 2: Solicit Freight and Passengers for your next Destination with a notice to the Comm System/Newspaper/Job Board depending upon Tech Level.
   
• Day 2, 3, 4: Cargo Master (Donovan), and up to two "assistants", look for cargo to buy here. One roll for the Master and one roll for any assistant if you spend most of your time looking for Cargo. One roll, only, if you "have an adventure" that takes up days of time here in this system.
   
• Day 5: Buy any cargos you find and decide to buy (can use Broker here). Accept Freight and Passenger bookings.
   
• Day 6: Take on Freight and Passengers to be delivered to future destinations.
   
• Day 7: Load Freight and Passengers, refuel, and depart.

Doug says as the crew walks together in the direction of the Terminal Building, "We'll need to spend a few hours each day working on the ship, but if we all pitch in, that can be only two or three with the rest free for some R&R. Thing is, though, I'm gonna need some brass in pocket if I'm going to do anything but lounge around the rooms we rented. What about it Flighty?"

[terrymixon]

Flighty looked at Donovan. “What’s the verdict on crew pay, Donovan?”

[helvorn]

Flighty looked at Donovan. “What’s the verdict on crew pay, Donovan?”

Donovan smiles. "I expect to be paid the captain bonus first of course." He shakes his head and laughs. "Let's pay everyone one month's pay at standard merchant rates."

Donovan will seek out an experienced broker (level 3 if possible). He will make it clear that they are not selling any speculative cargo at this stop but need help with buying.

He will advertise for low passage and freight/mail to Regina or Jenghe.

"Anyone interested in helping me look for cargo to pick up? We have most of the cargo hold empty. I would like to turn around as quickly as possible."

Sigrún replies "Já, I will help you. This place seems secure despite... or maybe because of all its... oddness. So I can help you without needing to be me. Zaki did well in getting rid of the hibernating crew from the wreck and the deal she made further disconnects them from us. Nevertheless, that connection to us is not truly broken until we jump so I agree a quick turn around is good".

"If we seem to be in a hurry, that will make us a curiosity," Zaki cautions.

Donovan nodded. "You are right. All I would like to do shave a day off of our stay."

Sigrún agrees "We don't need to draw attention but we don't want to stay longer than we need to".

[joertexas]

Sigrún agrees "We don't need to draw attention but we don't want to stay longer than we need to".

Zaki looks to Doug. "How many man hours do we need for maintenance? I don't want to run back here every day, and so I think we can go all hands on deck to finish before we leave."
