"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?"
