Sarhat is sat cross-legged on the floor, near the door, awake but in the Mainbari meditation pose. Vurk is slumped in the room's easy chair, snoring noisily. Kevin is nowhere to be seen, and at first it looks like Sethyk has gone too, until Ash notices him curled up on top of the wardrobe.There are two waiting messages.The first, from Valerie Maupassant. "I'm sorry Ms. Logan, but we can't authorise the requested funds at this present time. However, we are very interested in this Mr. Timogen, perhaps you could persuade him to come with you so that we can arrange a face to face meeting? If it helps, dangle the carrot of double payment in front of him."The second, from Duane Kessler.  "Ms. Logan, I'm pleased to tell you that all the finances have been cleared and we are able to procede with your shipment of Q-40. We will be bringing it to your ship this morning, 0900 EST. Thank you for using Rax-Mindstrom Enterprises!"[SBLOCK=OOC]For the record, Influence checks use 3d6 plus Influence score, vs. a DC.  A DC of 10 or 12 is usual for requesting extra funds, I used 12 for the larger amount.  Ashley's total was 8 + ISA influence 1 = 9.[/SBLOCK]</blockquote>
