Tomas has a clear shot of the second fighter, and takes it, but the laser misses, as the fighter increases its range from Dvonn.
 

"OK guys, we're gonna have to make a decision. The mercs offer us quite a bit of money, ammount unspecified, to get the ship intact. They do so in a most unusual way. if we go to the base they'll try to kill us, if we leave the system they'll try to kill us. Wich makes me wonder : if we surrender the ship, what will they do with us. I'm not really convinced they'll not kill us anyway.
We could try to go to the base. the mercs will attack, we'll have the junkyard dog on our side, maybe, but we'll endanger the civilians on base, and the traders.
or we could try to refuel, and get as far away from the gas giant as possible before jumping. I can't guarantee we'll be within safe jump distance, and we'll jump with unrefined fuel. It'll be a big risk, but I feel it will be the safest, for us and for the rest. What do you think?"
 


"I don't know how we got into this crap" Tomas grimaces trying to take in everything thats going on - and I just wanted to go home! - "damn I say we take our chances alongside the Junkyard Dog."
 

Saanath, human male.

Saanath growls, "That makes two votes for cutting and running. Unless you think we can take that cruiser as well. How many are on board it do you think?"
 

"Would that be cutting and running for the station, or cutting and running for the jump point? And the rest of you? Anyone got an opinion?"
 

Zaed says, "If that ship really is a GA cruiser, and that's what it smell like to me, we'll be wanting to stay out of range of at least some of it's guns. If we need a to do a slow fuel pick up, I say make for the base. With the fast skim...if Saanath thinks he can pull off the fast skim, I say we go for it. "

Quinn returns to the bridge, and takes a seat at the computer. "That's why they pay you the big bucks, Captain. We got a choice between a dangerous fuel stop with a short lonely run to the jump point and then we make for a navy base, or a longer, but escorted, trip to the station and we wait for help to show up to us. Either way, we got to keep that 800ton gorilla off our back. Your call."

Trelene thinks for a moment.

"I am sorry, but I do not have enough intel to make an informed decision. I yield to those that are better at such things. I will lend my skills to which ever plan we go with. But I suggest we make up our minds soon."
 

Saanath, human male.

ooc: Saanath said earlier that he was about to break off and make a run for the Junkyard dog and the JH base unless someone decided otherwise.

"What Tomas said. Make a break for the Junk Yard Dog and the John Henry base. They ain't on our side exactly, but its getting to big for Nells-C to cover up."

I hope.

"Ruzz'koff, call it."

ooc: roll a dice. thats what I did. twice, just to be sure.
