Gruffle scratches his head & looks around a
bit confused & absently reaches for his laser
pistol that isn't there. Gruffle then says,
"For some reason, I thought we were back
on our ship! I'll need to buy a few rations &
some extra power cells & power pack for my
guns & I'll be all set. Maybe some snow/cold
gear."
Gruffle walks out of the bar & heads to the
nearest Merchant he can find to see if he
is able to purchase what he needs.

You are right! I did think we were on the ship since the last thing I read, passengers were being paid to board our ship for another location.

Gruffle heads into the nearest sporting good's market (or supply store) he can find & uses his enhanced move to quickly head around the aisles of a nearby small sporting goods store to get the things he needs.
He picks up the following:
- Pack of 5 Rations $10 1 lb ea.
- vapor canteen $450
- winter clothing (Vargr) $200
- Personal Basics (TL0). (Min gear for camping: -2 to any Survival
roll without it. Includes utensils, tinderbox or flint and steel, towel, etc., as
TL permits. $5; 1 (B/288)) $5
- water purification tablets (bottle of 50) $5
- 1 gallon of water $2
Gruffle says to the Merchant, "Hello Shopkeeper. I just need to
buy a few things for a small hunting trip on your frosty planet.
I don't see any price tag on your wares, but I was hoping you
had some discounts on any of these goods." Gruffle puts them
up on the counter top for the Merchant to inspect. Gruffle then
says, "Some of this stuff looks a bit old & klunky. Do you think
I should buy it or take my business elsewhere?" Though Gruffle
is trying his best to haggle, he's a bit in a hurry, first tapping on
the counter-top, shifting from his left foot to his right, then
folding his arms, & sighing.

Inthe/Glisten en route to Edenelt/Trin's Veil -- in the "High Passage" Bar
[sblock=Centisteed]No problem. Oh, and since you have re-built gruffle in media res I have no problem with you assuming that he already had all of the equipment items that you desired without having to go to a merchant on Inthe. In fact, I'd prefer to handle it that way, so we can get right to some action, if that's all the same to you?[/sblock]
OOC: Gruffle appears to have been enjoying his Inthe ale a bit too much, the rest of the Travellers aren't quite sure just what he was talking about, or what he was doing wandering around the bar aimlessly like that, but it all seemed kinda loopy to you. [No offense intended, Centisteed!
]
The bartender says, "Oh, I shoulda warned you folk about that! Seems our ale here on Inthe has a peculiar effect on the whole, entar Vargr race. You had best keep a close eye on that thar feller for a few hours. He's likely to act ... um ... differ'nt for awhile, and he'll pro'ly have a whale of a headache come mornin'."
OOC: I believe you were discussing the advisability of outfitting a brief expedition looking for some Croubeks? Or if you'd prefer to just head on off to Edenelt/Trin's Veil to get to the mission at hand for Zeering Conglomerate, that would be just fine by me! We can always go hunting later on, if you want.....

Zoe runs her hand through her hair, messing it up even more than usual.
"Yeah. Alright, lets delegate here. Kaira, you handle supplies. Check out the Zax's stores and make a list of everything you think we'll need, along with the local prices."
"Spider, get a link to the navsats and get us a decently high-resolution map of the area between the starport and the caves. Plot us a course on it and upload it to the air raft's computer."
She snapped her fingers and leaned back to relax in her seat. "Chop chop people, lets get busy. Let me know when it's taken care of."

Kaira, not really being an outdoorsy-type, isn't sure that she's necessarily the most qualified to assess the state of the supplies for this trip, but says nothing to that effect and heads back to the Zax to take an inventory.
Once Kaira has in mind what needs to be acquired, she heads to the outdoors/survival stores in the area and starts checking prices. If Kaira notices any clerks checking her out, she will immediately take advantage of the situation and try to score a deal.

Grinning at Zoe Spider responds, "Aye Aye Cap'n" and his eyes roll back slightly in his brown face as he mentally links to the computer and begins looking for navsat data feeds. His eyes shift back and forth without seeing the bar as he works. He screws up his face in concentration as he links into the air raft back in the bay of the Zax for a download. "Hey, Gruffle, the on-board system says the air raft is a unit low on hydraulic fluid and the left stabilizer needs to be torced back into proper range." Blinking and realizing the Vargr has already scampered off to the shops he sends the info in a text to the Engineer. He sighs as he realizes that Kaira has left him behind. So he orders another drink and looks at the data on their prey again trying to figure out how dangerous these things are.

Gruffle spits & grunts a bit in his hallucinogenic stupor
& mutters something made out by the rest of the party
as saying,
"...catch us some crabs...kill kubriks...money..
*hic!*...trade in the veil."
then Gruffle barks
"Barkeep! Water!!"
then gets up & staggers over to a nearby booth to lay
down, head spinning & feeling woozy, the vivid images
of wandering around in some alternate reality fantasy
still popping in & out of his imagination.
"Forgot tah...order tha..laser cell cartridges...too.*hic!*."
Gruffle proceeds with laying down on a welcoming
couch inside a nearby booth to start the recovery
process. Gruffle gets his water, takes a very large
drought, smacks his lips. Then he gets up & shakes
his furry head from side to side that looks quite
wolfish, & starts staggering back to the Zak.
