"So, do you have any questions for me?"[/dialog]

"Who would we visit to buy high quality food for export?"

[Tiglath]

"So, do you have any questions for me?"[/dialog]

"Here's what you get for your printer time!" Sigrún gestures crudely in the direction of the voice beyond the Port authority men's view and then risks non uni-directional movement (and ligament damage) "Yes! Are there any Imperial Navy ships in port? New citizen, I am a big air conditioner... no... wait... a fan!" She "huffs" in demonstration "I will blow on them all, yes?"

She asides to Zaki "I hate myself now but am I under selling it?"

"Here's what you get for your printer time!" Sigrún gestures crudely in the direction of the voice beyond the Port authority men's view and then risks non uni-directional movement (and ligament damage) "Yes! Are there any Imperial Navy ships in port? New citizen, I am a big air conditioner... no... wait... a fan!" She "huffs" in demonstration "I will blow on them all, yes?"

She asides to Zaki "I hate myself now but am I under selling it?"

"You're being way too subtle," Flighty said with a straight face from her other side. "You're going to have to really step it up."

[helvorn]

The Port Authority officers look amused by the chaos into which they have entered.

"Well, anyway, welcome to Phlume. I'm Lt Commander Griggs and this is Lt Doctor Jeffers. If you're unloading cargo here I'll need to do an inspection, just a quick one, and Jeffers will have to look at the papers and see Med Records for anyone exiting the ship."

OOC: All inspections are cursory, very cursory...hardly a glance, and you pass easily.

"Docking fees here for ships of your class are Cr500 for the first week and 100 a day after that. We have unrefined fuel at normal prices, but you're free to refuel from the seas here if you can do that. You can also restock on Life Support and buy jump tapes for nearby systems if you need to here."

"Phlume restricts some weapons...Assault rifles, SMG's and such, but as long as you carry pistols and such openly you'll be okay. The government here is a participatory democracy and you'll run into public votes going on everyday about something or other, you'd need a local ID to actually vote, so don't try to join in." Griggs grins, "Although, if you want to argue about some proposed law or other you'll find the debates can get quite lively...even turning into brawls or gun fights from time to time. This is especially true when non-Phumians get involved, so watch out."

"If you're looking for trade here, it will most likely be some form of food product. Contact The Export Cooperative. Most of the farmers and fishers sell through the Coop." Griggs says adding, "Karl Towns Tours and Aceias Taquin arrange passages for travellers if you're picking up passengers here."

"So, do you have any questions for me?"

Donovan goes through the routine with the custom officers. "We'll pay for a week but will definitely refuel from the ocean and visit your chandlers for resupply. Thanks for the advice on local life." He shrugged and nodded back up the gangway. "You can see we have a eclectic but effective crew." Donovan was struggling to keep from laughing at Sigrun's antics and outfit. "We will be selling and buying so an inspection would be appreciated to clear us from bond." He filed away the information to pass on to the rest of the crew. "Do we need any exit inspections? Or will the standard declaration and flight plan suffice?"

[joertexas]

She asides to Zaki "I hate myself now but am I under selling it?"

Zaki stifles a laugh. "You're selling something, that's for certain."

[ateno]

Karcsi focuses a exaggerated motion back at Pinkie that is basically a monkey flinging feces when the captain turns his back.

He will follow along with the inspection of the ship.

Or will the standard declaration and flight plan suffice?"

Griggs nods, "No, no exit inspections are required. We prefer a flight plan to next destination to be filed, but all that is really required is to file for a departure lane out to a jump point."

Turning to Zaki he adds, "The Export Coop is your best bet for any sort of agricultural exports. They have cargos going out all the time. Most are under contract to bigger lines, but there are always small lots available. Harrison Mining & Minerals sells ..well minerals they mine..and there are a few art galleries in Tokensport that sell art for export."

"Don't forget Jenson!" interrupts Lt. Jeffers, to which Griggs grimaces, "Yes, Hank Jenson is the best of a few independent brokers in Tokensport. You never know with Jenson and as I said he's the best of the bunch. Eclectic bits and dabs of returns, seconds, things that didn't sell, weren't picked up, or went to pay off duties from deadbeat ships and ended up being auctioned off. That's what Jenson deals in."

You docking fees are transferred over to the Port Authority and a trio of techs make the necessary electrical and plumbing connections between your ship and the port.

Griggs and Jeffers bid you good day, again wishing you a pleasant and profitable visit to Plume before they leave.

When you check your comms for messages you find you already have several...

1. Karl Towns Tours asking for your destination and if you are taking passengers.

2. Aceias Taquin asking if you are bound for Jenghe and can take 3 passengers. She has 3 clients anxious to get there: a Vargr and a Human couple. All three will take anything, including a Low Passage, if you can get them there quickly.

3. Hank Jenson called to let you know he can buy and sell goods here and if you have goods to sell would like to visit your ship to look over your cargos. He mentions that he charges a 5% fee for transactions he performs.

4. Enerita Blossup from The Export Coop called to let you know there are several small freight lots waiting to be shipped to Extolay, Jenghe, and Dinom that she could contract you to ship.

5. Douha Jin left a message that as a licensed broker here on Phlume he is available to facilitate sale and purchase of goods and for new customers has a special discounted fee of 2%.

You have a full cargo hole, and won't be able to buy anything or take on freight contracts if you don't. Are you intending to sell goods here?

Are you interested in any passengers, even Low Berth ones?

How long do you intend to remain here on Phlume? It will be a week if you intend to sell and buy goods and/or take on freight contracts or passengers. If you just want to refuel, resupply, and jump then plan on a couple of days. So, stay aboard ship or take "shore leave? Stay inside the Starport (there are Chandlers and Taverns) or leave the Port and go into Tokensport?

Flighty has no objection to low berth passengers but is inclined to keep their cargo and get out of here. Anyone that needs to buy training stuff needs to do so. Like He will see about buying axe fighting training books.

[helvorn]

Donovan mentioned that he would like to buy and sell to keep their accounts full and stay within their cover as merchants.

Zaki buys the supplies they need, and splurges a little on some local delicacies for the pantry. She also quietly checks to see if they have the medical tech to care for her patients.

[Tiglath]

Suspecting her disguise may need more work Sigrún resists the temptation to try it out on the town.

She offers "Let's take cold berth passengers they are... reasonable and not needy people".

Zaki buys the supplies and some local delicacies...seafood, exotic fruits and actual real coffee beans (14k total).

The local hospitals do not have the facilities to really help her patients...she'll need TL10, at least, for that. Does Zaki try to find the nearest systems that have TL A or above?

You can't buy any goods until you free some cargo space. You've got some contacts for selling goods here who do you talk with?

Flighty will buy axe wielding tapes for level 0 (if he still needs that) and level 1. I *think* he was working on STR and DEX but GM will have to confirm.

The local hospitals do not have the facilities to really help her patients...she'll need TL10, at least, for that. Does Zaki try to find the nearest systems that have TL A or above?

Zaki studies the local starmap while she tries their new coffee brewer she just purchased and talks to whomever is waiting for the coffee. "Extolay is a parsec away, and it should have good enough medical care. The next system that does is Regina, but I don't know if we want to do that far coreward."

"That works for me," Flighty said. "I'm inclined to agree with you on Regina and going that far in, but we can make the decision once we see what is on tap at Extolay. Nice coffee maker."

"That works for me," Flighty said. "I'm inclined to agree with you on Regina and going that far in, but we can make the decision once we see what is on tap at Extolay. Nice coffee maker."

Zaki nods. "This is as simple as it gets, a heater and a timer. It's called a french press. No one knows why."

"Something to research, I suppose." Flighty will tap into the data net and see what he can find out.
