After Earth - Episode II - Beyond Colonial Space.

Pierce walks into the bridge sans space-suit, having ditched it once he got on board earlier. He leans against his customary wall with his arms crossed in front of his chest, "So words on a page is all we got from rescuing them?"

 

[Rhun]

"Those words could be worth a lot to the right parties," says Damon. "But no, we're going to meet them at Jap 3 base, and they're going to transfer some technology over to us at that point. I'm not sure exactly what they had in mind, but hopefully something useful or valuable."

Pierce brow furrows in a moment of legitimate concentration, "Yeah but aint that illegal, giving better stuff to lower races? Aint their stuff better and aint we lower? And they're gonna do it at Jap 3? Where there's officious people and stuff?" He finishes his point with a shrug. "Seems we got had."

 

[Rhun]

"Gaetanna can explain the finer points of the laws and how they can be sidestepped much better than I can," says Damon, with a shrug of his own. "But regardless, it isn't as if we didn't get anything from them. Their technical and tactical data files could be worth millions to the corporate suits."

Pierce's, "Oh!" was poignant enough to convey all he needed to be known with that little bit of news. Whether Damon was placating him or not, he didn't care, with images of swimming in an exotic fur jacket, with the Syrran Captain in one arm and the other non-dead hottie on the bridge in the other. All Damon and Mel can see, however, is Pierce standing against the wall with a stupid grin on his face, looking out to nowhere, nodding.

Damon smiles and sits back in his chair. "Mel, put us on course for Jap 3."

 

[Voda Vosa]

Cnosos rubs his bald head while he sits down and locks himself to his seat. "I'll look at it later, I suppose the data is in syrran. Although, perhaps we have some translator? I really don't know... Oh... If you have a chance to ask for droid parts, do so, I need some spare droid components to build our friend, you know, the one you didn't know it existed that I knew all the time and didn't tell you." Cnosos exhibits a small and fleeting side smile.

 

[Shayuri]

Mel popped the Nav screen up and started calculating the course.

"I hope you know what you're doing," she said to Damon. "I'm not sure I want to see what Syrrans do to tech thieves."

 

[Voda Vosa]

"As far as I know the are only capable of die chocking over you." jokes the engineer, evoking the nasty pictures of the dead syrrans, with their eyes fixed up. This guy has a strange sense of humor.

 

[Rhun]

"I'm not too worried, Mel," says Damon, pointedly ignoring Cnosos' very strange joke about the dead Syrrans. "They'd have to catch us, and we've got the best pilot in the quadrant."
