Oh, I can speak for myself fleshling. The small droid crakcles with it's vocabulator. And I remind you of your promise to take me and my body back to Segdiir.

There is a slight pause that seems a second too long, then the comm opens up again. Very well Gold Greed. You have clearance. Dock to bay 3.

After a while you are standing inside the station on the docking bay, having chatty there with you. It seems "he" decided that walking around as a human-made droid would be fun. A man of oriental descent in neat business suit approaches you. Behind him stands half a dozen dock workers. I am Kato. He strains to speak english and bows slightly. Welcome to our humble colony. You have our Vanadium?

[sblock=OOC]Dr. Simon. Yeah, you can charge it onboard. It takes a little juryrigging to build a converter but it's nothing Cnosos couldn't handle in an hour or so. So by now, days after the testing, he has already built you one :D.[/sblock]
 

Happy to get off the ship for the first time in awhile, Mel follows Damon and whoever else disembarks off into the docking bay. She stretches her arms out over her head, making a couple of noisy pops and sighing in relief...then pauses warily at the sight of the brute squad welcoming committee.

After a second she relaxes a bit, realizing the men are probably just laborers or cargo handlers. Still, it seems a bit funny to her that they'd be lined up behind the guy like that. Maybe they just did things differently here.

She glanced at Damon expectantly, clearly figuring he'd take the lead.
 

Damon offers Kato a short bow. "A pleasure to meet you Kato. I am Damon Knight, captain of the Gold Greed, and this is my crew. I apologize for the delays, but yes, we have your vanadium."
 

Pierce stands behind the shoulder of Damon, arms crossed in front of his puffed out chest. With all the dock workers around, Pierce needed to show remind them who was the strongest. Just because he wasn't wearing a lame jumpsuit and lifting heavy objects all day didn't mean he wasn't able to pop some limbs off, and he needed these guys to know it.
 

Not very ceremonial, Cnosos leans on a nearby post with Chatty walking around, and Dorb floating over his head. He however looks at the exchange with interest.
 

After receiving the ok to dock, Gitane quickly left the bridge and readied herself for civilization by changing into her business attire and applying lavish amounts of perfume to cover up any trace amounts of what some in her social circle would call 'spacer-vapors'. She was ready to disembark as the rest of the crew started to file out of the airlock.

Is Mr. Kato a known big wig with this Jap colony?

If "yes" or "maybe"...

Soon after Damon spoke, Gaetanne approached Mr Kato and bowed. "Konichiwa Katosan, I am Gaetanne LeRouge, a representative of Angel Industries and Unitiy Council. I would like to apologize on behalf of Unity for the delays that the Gold Greed's crew has experienced in delivering this shipment. Unity sincerely hopes that the unexpected delays do not negatively affect the business partnerships that exists between our colonies." Gaetanna smiled apologetically.


If not....

Gaetanna will remain toward the front of the group smelling of roses as she waits to be acknowledged and listens to the conversation

The shipment was of no urgency but we were expecting you earlier. Kato answers to Gaetanna and it seems she followed the proper etiquette. I will authorise payment to your company then. He taps a few keys on a pda and then hands it to Damon. The details seem to match. There is a small thumbprint scanner on the side of the machine that is used for signing contracts. Need approval.

As the business is concluded he turns to the waiting workers and gives orders in japanese. Then he turns back to you. It will take some hours to unload. You are welcome to enjoy the modest entertainment our colony can provide.

Pierce gets some satisfaction over the fact that these dockworkers are of quite small stature and his own bulk seem to have impressed them.

[sblock=OOC]The deal is pretty much that the payment goes to FarStar and then the company pays your cut to the ship account. Currently the wealth of the account is 10, and this deal will raise it to 12.[/sblock]
 


"Segdiir?" Solly stares open-mouthed at "Chatty" and Cnosos. But then it is time for business and whilst the business people deal with Mr. Kato he stands near the back of the crew with a smile on his face. When all is concluded and Gaetanna asks about curfew, he chimes in with:

"And does anyone know any good bars in this colony?"
