Babylon 5: Outrageous Fortune

[Vertexx69]

Croft somehow makes it to his feet, his eyes slits of there usual glory. He makes some kind of remark to someone he apparently thinks is a woman in his native tongue, but when "she" doesn't respond he follows the leaving group in a cross between a huff and utter relief.

OOC - should have internet every day now.

 

[Dr Simon]

The stone drunk teenage Centari opens one bleary eye as the datapad clatters on the crude table. Nobody can tell if he has regained consciousness or if it was just a reflex brought on by the sound.

He has become one with his inner self!

"C'mon Quaisak" says Vector, "You're going to start with 2000?"
Vector shakes his head at pudgy pak'ma'ra.
"We've done some good business together my friend, and you've already made your profit here...so how's about taking a few hundred off that for me?"
Vector smiles suddenly, a shrewd cast coming to his expression.
"I might have a couple more items coming in that will take your interest Quaisak, give a little here and it'll come back to you ten-fold" (*)
"Think about it, and I'll meet you at your spot in a couple of hours"
With that, Vector signs off and flicks a switch on his communicator. The metal fragment catches his eye, and he carefully unwinds the chain from around his wrist. He holds the twisted piece of metal up, as though examining it closely.
Why do I keep you? he wonders, it's not as though he meant for it to mean anything...

[sblock=(*)]Vector may be lying a little bit here too...he'll be alluding to the possibility of finding something more than the 'beetle' but overexagerrating the probability..if that makes sense![/sblock]

 

[Dr Simon]

Quaisak makes a kind of grunting noise that his translator doesn't convert - perhaps the pak'ma'ra form of laughter.

"I remember why I stopped dealing with you, Mr. Hawthorne. So many layers of promise and counter-promise. A reduction now in exhange for first refusal for more goodies later? I accept. How does 1500 sound? You can upload the credit to my account, and I'll link you the coordinates. Deal?"

 

[Friday]

"I'll have to transfer some funds around, I'll be in touch" Vector tells the pak'ma'ra.

Later in his small and grim apartment, Vector sits and reviews some of his notes on the Tal while he waits to hear from the people he met earlier.
Raive got away, and Sethyk...maybe I should think about moving on aswell....maybe it's time find something new..again... Vector muses, reaching for the cup of coffee he'd made earlier.

[sblock=OOC]
As far as gathering funds go, that's a relatively easy Influence check. Depending on which Influence you use there may be conditions attached to paying it back....

This game isn't too concerned with counting every credit, but webs of obligation are a different matter. Assuming everyone is happy with the deal with Quaisak I'm willing to brush over the details and move the game on, but feel free to do some more RPing between Vector and the others if you like.

Kirth Warren

OOC: I'm right there with you, Dr. Si.

Kirth says, "I do have some maintenance checks to do before we leave this rock, you know, so I'd better get back to it before too awfully long."

 

[Shayuri]

Ash just nods. "That's fine. Just keep in touch. If you see anything remotely suspicious, call us. Last time we had to fight out way through assassins to get to the ship. Hopefully this time we're attracting less attention, but you never know. So don't take any chances."

Kirth Warren

Kirth fidgets nervously. "Assassins, you say? Hmmm, maybe I'll have another drink and just sit quietly."

OOC: Let there be no doubt about it -- Kirth doesn't do assassins!

 

[Friday]

Vector taps his link to record a message to Ashley.
"I have a lead on where those things were found, but its going to cost you...have you guys got yourselves settled? We should move on this before the price goes up"
Hitting another button, Vector keys Ashley's link and sends the message.
