Matter of factly, "Classical, though I guess many of the techniques could be used for exotic dancing... but don't expect me to climb a pool for you since that is more of a gymnastic or acrobatic skill set."

"I'm against getting caught at it," Mel replies sulkily. "Like the tech thing...that's fine. That's worth taking a risk over. But a Syrran spacesuit? Why attract attention and risk awkward questions over a fashion statement? You know it's like those vacuum-heads that steal fancy underwear from designer stores. If you're going to risk prison time and a record, do it for something worthwhile."

Solly regards Pierce's arm coolly.
"Looks like a plasma burn to me," he says. "That's pretty simple to treat. Take a seat and I'll see if I can remember how to do this." He sorts through his satchel, laying out a an array of sharp and uncomfortable-looking medical tools, the largest bore hypodermic he can find, a roll of duct tape and some bandages. "Do you want a general anaesthetic?"
Treat Injury +6, taking 10 if I may.

Quietly to herself, "Maybe us vacuum-heads do it for the thrill since we know the worse they could do is give us a slap on the wrist."

First Post
Pierce quickly notices the instruments of death and his eyes widen a touch. From the various doodads and whodunits, none of them look particularly refreshing, like some burn salve for which he was hoping. Stiffening up, he holds his arm out, "No, just get it over with."
He's sure the Doc, being an anatomical expert as he was, might be able to tell he was clenching about everything he could in his body in the anticipation of extreme pain.

Pierce's fears are allayed when, having laid out all these dangerous looking implements, Solly treats his wound with some ointment and a bandage. He frowns as he studies his handiwork.
"I think that's right..." he says. "I've got a feeling I've forgotten something. Let me know if the arm starts turning green." His face is deadpan throughout.

"Believe it or not, after all that, we're still like two weeks out," Mel replies. "Uhh..." She brings up the navigation display and consults the data there.
"Yeah, twelve days. Give or take depending on wedgie activity."
With some relief she pushes the Greed faster, away from the crackling gravitational anomaly behind them...while making sure to make a copy of the ship's sensor recordings during their frantic plunge in and through. That had to be good for the rep.

A week later
Hyperspace - Somewhere between Jap 3 and Jap 1
Another week passes without much insidence. The first Japanese base is left behind as you separate from the Syrran and they "flood" your engineering with various parts that could be used to enhance your sensor systems and general power output. It is still another week (or a little less thanks to Cnosos' fiddling with the engines) to the Jap 1 where you were off to drop the cargo.
The routine on the ship has become that of spending couple of days in cryo at times and then trying to figure out something to do.
Damon and Gaetanna have found interest in the Syrran database, which has significant amount of both cultural and technical data previously unknown to humankind. Especially the technical readouts will be immensively worthy for selling to the right people.
Cnosos has by now managed to get the engine enhancements online, increasing the output by about 20%. It is an accomplishment worthy of being proud of. Even "Chatty" admitted that it wasn't bad for a biological brain and reminded to try being as thorough with the chassis you were going to build for him. Considering the schematics, it shouldn't take more than a day or two put the thing together.
Pierce's arm is healing up nicely. The burn is itchy for a while but Solly's salves seem to ease the pain.
After extensive study, Solly has concluded that the medical piece he liberated is some sort of a dermal regenerator for the lack of better term. It heals small wounds by forcing the skin to regenerate at an extremely accelarated speed. You're pretty sure that Pierce's arm would make a good test subject now that you know what the machine does.
