If you look at the rulebook it's an exponential scale, so it's fairly abstract. I don't have the rulebook to hand but 2 CRED is about a month's salary for a typical working schmoe. 4 CRED will buy a house, so it's more than 2 lots of 2 CRED.(In terms of game mechanics, how much CRED is this exactly?)
Séadna, Smith, Stan, RuinZealot, Bunch -Twitch just grins a shit eating grin. He thinks "What the fuck do I care? I get all my shit taken or lost anyway. And this fuck thinks his cold stare is going to impress me? Whatever happens I find a way to keep the party rolling."
Séadna, Smith, Stan, RuinZealot, Bunch -Steevo checks the crates to see if they look like they have what they're supposed have - not pulling stuff out, just a quick opening of lids. If everything looks in order, he signs the 14C. He thanks the stevedores and gives them a small tip.
Séadna, Smith, Stan, RuinZealot, Bunch -"Let's get this self check done, don't want to find out the thing has shorted. Full test suite"
Séadna, Smith, Stan, RuinZealot, Bunch -Twitch does last minute preflight checks and settles into the pilot seat ready to get into open space again.
Séadna, Smith, Stan, RuinZealot, Bunch -Twitch plots a course that's perhaps less direct than it could be but not too excessive on fuel if he can.
Séadna, Smith, Stan, RuinZealot, Bunch -"Maybe I shouldn't have had six coffees this morning.." he says shaking a bit. He looks at Kal to see how the comment goes over before adding
"Kidding man! I'm good to go. Sit back and enjoy the ride. "
He lines up the route and sets off to do some fancy flying.
Séadna, Smith, Stan, RuinZealot, Bunch - Ping"Get the net!" Twitch says after executing some perfect flying.
According to the chrono, the next survey sat is expected in 43 minutes.
Ida looks impressed at the camouflage effect.About an hour after you finish putting up the net a boy who looks about 12 or so rides up on a trail bike and calls out to you: "Excuse me mister, are you the Tranquility?" He has what appears to be a old-style slug thrower slung over his back.
Séadna, RuinZealot, Stan, Bunch, Smith -Ida looks impressed at the camouflage effect.
"Should have bought one of these a long time ago"
She turns to the boy.
"Yes, we're the Tranquility. You from Stel's clan?"
Greetings to the crew of the Tranquility. I hope you had a pleasant journey.
Unfortunately Hubba has been less than subtle and rumours of the find have reached the authorities, who are actively investigating the possibility of the find. Lar and Okon are now persons of interest and must also assume that other parties could be looking to find them. We must therefore maintain effective operational security. I must ask you maintain radio silence until you reach the hold and do not activate any devices that use satellite or cellular comms. It is important that we leave no clues that suggest anyone has been here.
The boy's name is Marten, my youngest son. He will bring some pack animals that you can ride to the hold on, and some Xente clothing that will protect you from the wastes. The hold is 70km distant and the ride will take about two days.
We will post some trusted sentries to watch the entrance to the canyon. There is little reason to come up the canyon as it is blind and leads nowhere, so I do not expect anybody to come through. If you have made the re-entry undetected the ship will remain unnoticed here.
Yours faithfully,
Stelios Garr
Ida laughs in Kal's direction.
"I'm excited. A desert, an ancient civilization. The romantic adventure of it all. Mesa looks rough I'll give you that"
She heads back to the ship to pack her stuff.
"Well, I first worked on the Dobachan site for quite a few years - I was lucky enough to land a post-doc there, then around other precursor sites. There I met Jenel Elgin, Lovejoy Elgin's niece. We married but ... - " he pauses for a second - " she was killed in an accident on a dig site about 20 years ago. " You see a look pass over his face for a brief moment, then he continues. "I actually met Lovejoy a few times, a couple of years before he died. After Lovejoy died, Bill [his brother and Jenel's father] had all of Lovejoy's materials and showed them to me. The fragments of the statue were what sealed it. It proved that the whole thing was real."So, Mr Correia," Kal says, wincing as he is shifted around uncomfortably with each of the 'saur's lurching steps. "How'd you get into this line of business?"
It looks like there several types. One had a definite taste of ginger in it, and the other one you tried had cinnamon, cloves and something else you didn't recognise, but was probably local.Steevo didn't have to worry about the public eye looking at suspicious bulges so he has brought everything he can think of. He's also managed to find a place for the automed given how things have gone so far.
He's sore in the morning as he is much more used to machine transport instead of animal transport. But he doesn't complain as the locals seem to know what they're doing. He admires people who have managed to find a niche despite what those above have have thrown at them.
He makes a note to find a way to bring some wedang back to the ship. Its surprisingly bright flavor is a highpoint of the trip so far.
ooc: heavy gear load.
"What did you conclude about the extinction event?""I moved to Rhaquos about 20 years ago and started looking into Amarantin sites to piece together what happened on the extinction event, and try and vindicate Lovejoy's name. I've been mainly working as a broker and running occasional digs ever since."
