After Earth - Episode II - Beyond Colonial Space.

[Relique du Madde]

She frowned. "I thought so. I guess I"ll have to make every minute I spend outside of the Greed count. It's a shame since I hear the 'bath house' on Jap 1 puts the one they run on Jap 3 to shame. That and there is suposed to be a meteor shower hitting that system's Super Gas Giant at about the time when we should be arriving. But I guess, I'll have to hope our sensors can pick it up."

 

[Rhun]

Damon chuckles. "Our sensors? Not bloody likely." He shrugs. "After we drop our cargo, we won't be in as huge of a hurry. But I'd still rather not dawdle overlong."

 

[Shayuri]

"Who's dawdling?" Melara asks as she comes into the galley, sketchbook in one hand, steaming thermos in the other. She looks suspiciously between Damon and Gaetanna, then picks an empty seat with an empty neighbor she can put her shoes up on.

"Was that Cnosos on the intercom just now? Is he still working?"

 

[Relique du Madde]

"No one, if Damon here decides to abbreviate our stay at Jap 1 to last as long as it takes to dock, unload and reload cargo." She glanced out a porthole and laughed. "He's probably afraid that I'd bring aboard several containers filled with Kimonos and other Japanese knick-knacks."

 

[Voda Vosa]

"Yes, poor ol' Cnosos is still working. As long as this pile of space junk we call ship is out in the black, I'll be making constant repairs. But Now I need some help to make a droid for Chatty, so any help is welcomed." the metallic voice sounds through the intercom.

 

[Dr Simon]

In the makeshift medical bay that doubles as his cabin, Solly shows Pierce a medical instrument of some kind, very high-tech looking.

"I found this in my bag when we came back from the Syrran ship," he says. "I must have picked it up by mistake." He seems absolutely straight-faced as he says this.

"With some experimentation, I've figured out that it accelerates healing." He points to Pierce's wounded arm. "I need a human test subject." Flipping the instrument in his hand, Solly looks at Pierce. "If we can figure out how it works, we could get rich from the patent." The gangly young man has to stoop to avoid a bulkhead, but he holds the gaze of the strongman before him.

"Of course," he adds, "possessing this thing is highly illegal. It's probably best if we don't tell Damon, or Mel, so that they have deniability." He thinks for a moment. "We might need Cnosos for technical help. And we'd better make sure Gaetanna doesn't hear about it. You in?"

 

[ethandrew]

"I'm in," Pierce stated almost immediately. The word rich always seemed to alleviate any qualms the man would ever had, a tactic many people probably figured out by now. Mention Pierce getting rich, he's on your side. Pierce kinda knew about this, but he always seemed to rationalize this with the promise of one day getting filthy rich. So far, no dice.

 

[Dr Simon]

"Good," says Solly. "I'm not too sure what will happen, I warn you, so I'll give you a local anaesthetic in case... well, something bad happens. Which I'm sure it won't," he adds quickly.

OOC: Using Syrran healing device on Pierce, Treat Injury +6, will Take 10 if possible.

 

[ethandrew]

Pierce looks the Doc hard in the face before the procedure begins, "If I lose my arm, I'm taking yours."

 

[Rhun]

"I figure it it will take at least a day to unload the cargo, so you'll have a bit of time," says Damon. "I'm just not planning on spending a week sitting around the base while you go shopping," he adds after a moment, smiling at Gaetanna.
