Babylon 5: Outrageous Fortune

Kirth Warren

Kirth is startled by Ceshana's move to diffuse the situation, since he meant no hostility by his words. Still, he supposed that an outsider could interpret the exchange in that way. At the first opportunity when he can do so without being observed by anyone else, Kirth gives Ashley a surreptitious wink.

 

[Shayuri]

Ash shrugs and looks over at the Centauri.

"Callo. I'm Ashley. Ashley Logan. Good to meet you."

 

[Vertexx69]

Croft give the human a long once over before meeting her gaze with his own. "A pleasure I hope, Miss Logan was it?" He gives the other two a glance as well before addressing everyone. "My name is Croft of the trading house Callo. I guess the ISA brought me in because you're looking for some older artifacts? Despite my age I can assure you I am something of an expert in that field."

Kirth Warren

To Croft, Kirth says, "Greetings, Sir Centauri. I trust that we are looking forward to an enlightening and profitable expedition." And Kirth also now sees the Minbari group member for his first time. He subtily gives Sarhat the once-over, even as Croft gives Kirth the once-over!

 

[Blackrat]

Sarhat couldn't believe it. First humans and a pak'ma'ra... Then more humans and now a centauri. This group was more of a team of lurkers than a specialised tactical squad he was expecting from Satai's words. Well, it was important for ISA and Shakat had personally requested his presense. Sarhat would do his duty.

The young minbari on the back nodded at the centauri. "Sarhat, pilot and warrior. I hope you prove yourself valuable."

"Speaking of 'value,' are we in some sort of competition against each other for berths on your ship? Or are there any other examination procedures that we should be aware of?" Kirth wasn't sure that he liked the Minbari's attitude, but he knew very well the temperamental nature of the average hotshot pilot, and so he was prepared to offer up any ego-stroking that might be required. And, he hoped to diffuse the situation somewhat by drawing some attention away from the Centauri. And anyway, Kirth expected that it took all of the Centauri's effort and attention just to maintain that freakish hairdo, so he felt that any help he could offer might be appreciated.

"Even the smallest of trading vessels has room for several dozen crew and passengers, so I wouldn't worry about space too much..except the part outside the ship." Croft adds with a wry smile. "So they tell me you've found something you might need me to take a look at?"

 

[Shayuri]

Ashley glanced at Linmer, then nodded at Croft. She decided to stay out of the 'compete for beds' conversation.

"If you're an expert in xenotech, then we could definitely use you. We found an artifact that was made by Shadows. We need to know what it's supposed to do."

(OOC - I don't think Ash has it at the moment...she surrendered it to Linmer, I believe...)

 

[Vertexx69]

Crofts eyes widen for a moment, making him look even younger than he is, as Ashley mentions shadow tech. "I am something of an authority on that subject. Or as much of one as someone who wasn't involved in any of that business could be. Luckily I was only 9 at the time, so nobody sane can accuse me of consorting with the shadows. They just left so many of their toys laying about the galaxy when they left, that I've been able to learn quite a bit about them since then."

"Well, then, this sounds like it's right up your street, Croft. All I know about shadows is that if your light is bright enough you don't have to worry much about them . . .. . . oh, I see, you must have meant the CAPITAL "S" kind of Shadows -- same thing applies really -- not my field at all."
