The Soldiers Sons

[DrZombie]

The vargrs ears peak up at the mentioning of the names.

"Auberon? You related to the cap'n of the Black Prince?"

 

[Brother Allard]

Darius's eyes narrow for a moment as he wonders at the Vargr's motives for asking such a question. With nothing much to go on, however, he decides on the truth as the easiest option.

"Yes," he says simply. "He's my father."

 

[Wilphe]

Dominic looks at his acquaintance with a new eye, but is otherwise unfazed. And now we see if he recognises my name

 

[DrZombie]

The vargr barks a coughing laugh, an unpleasant sound.
"Auberon's pup. Whaddaya reckon."

He tilts his head, pinning you with an iron stare.

"So tell me, pup. An eye, half a face, a lung and a career in exchange for a spaceship. Do you think it's a fair trade?"

 

[Wilphe]

OOC: He's still talking to Darius yes?

 

[Brother Allard]

Darius cocks his head and eyes the Vargr warily.

"I guess that would depend on the ship."

 

[DrZombie]

"You're looking at her, boy. Loaned untill further notice, for services to the empire."
He snorts.

"So you're looking for passage. I don't bring along passengers. You've got two hours to run a diagnostics, find out what's wrong, how to fiks it and how much that would cost me. If I'm satisfied, you're hired as deckhands, if not you walk."

He turns to a beaten-up console and presses a button.

"Computer, 120 min open acces on diagnostics and trial run only. Confirm."

"Order acknowledged, captain."

He turns back to the two of you.

"Have fun" and he disappears into the ship.

 

[Brother Allard]

Darius stands for a moment after the Vargr's exit, gazing at the ship, bemused.

"Two hours to find out what's wrong with this ship? I can tell you right now: it looks like someone pulled it off a garbage scow. How much do you figure it'll cost to fix that?"

 

[Wilphe]

"It's not what's wrong we need to work out, it is what is wrong that matters. Cosmetic damage and duct tape don't matter. So let's start with the essentials and work backwards shall we? Life support, power, drives If those are all acceptable than we look at something else."

 

[DrZombie]

OOC : I'll have any rolls that you think are appropriate : K/computer, engeneering, that sort of stuff.
