[QUOTE="Morte, post: 1089985, member: 9413"] [b]Act II: Liar's Oath - Jump[/b] Date: 137-993 through 144-993 Imperial. Location: jump space, aboard the free trader “Avarice Rewarded”. Jump was an anticlimax after the rush to get going. Fish spent most of the time playing video games -- Liar’s Oath was a lower tech world and Luan had bought consoles as speculative cargo. Silea did her homework on the next system and played the flute. Many Luriani were musical, and she found plenty of time aboard ship. In the “evenings” she used radical measures to tear Fish away from his video games. Fish thought it was a pretty good trip. Sir David learned, much to his shock, that there was more to cookery than noodles. Luan studied. At first she studied space medicine, xeno medicine, allergic and respiratory conditions, and anything else that could go wrong on a planet hopping trip. Eventually she unwound, and began to read more about worlds and people as it sank in that she had a new life to come. They had passengers. There were two students returning from university in cold sleep low berths; and in middle passage they had a couple of construction engineers who were going to supervise expansion work on the starport. They worked for the same company that was paying haulage on the sealants in the cargo bay. And there was a military man, an army captain returning home after a “consulting” stint on another world. According to library data Liar’s Oath (1021) UWP C4247A7-8 was a 0.5g moon orbiting the system’s smaller gas giant. It had a thin/tainted atmosphere and about 40% surface water. The military dictatorship enjoyed the broad confidence of the 60 million inhabitants. Law levels were about average, e.g. wandering around with firearms was not allowed. Intrinsic technology was level 8, the beginnings of the space age, with higher tech imports. The captain gave them a bit more spin on the place. The current boss was one major Alice Lakaii, whose government was more progressive and less corrupt than the military junta they’d ousted twelve years earlier. They were trying to boost the economy, starting by improving the starport, and they earned a bit of imperial currency to pay for this by hiring out soldiers trained to fight in hostile atmospheres like their own.
