Leif's DISCONTINUED GURPS Traveller Game -- IC01

[Leif]

Inthe/Glisten en route to Edenelt/Trin's Veil [FINALLY!]

One of the passengers reacts to Gruffle's announcement, but can't find the Vargr to answer him. Finally, Kaira sees a portly gentleman doing the "gotta pee" dance and surmises that he must know something about Jarson Wenceslaus. She approaches him, and he says, "He was here and ready, but what with the delay and all, he said he was going back to the bar to wait. That was a good 45 minutes ago."

One of the passengers reacts to Gruffle's announcement, but can't find the Vargr to answer him. Finally, Kaira sees a portly gentleman doing the "gotta pee" dance and surmises that he must know something about Jarson Wenceslaus. She approaches him, and he says, "He was here and ready, but what with the delay and all, he said he was going back to the bar to wait. That was a good 45 minutes ago."

Kaira smirks at the fat man. "I suppose I should go find him. He did pay, after all." Kaira grabs her comm. "Our man Wenceslaus went to the bar. I'll head there and see if I can find him. Give me fifteen minutes and then start the prep for takeoff."

Kaira immediately heads for the bar, where she surveys for the missing passenger. "Gentlemen, I'm with the Zax. Looking for a Jason Wenceslaus. C'mon, sir. Ship's waiting."

Gruffle

Gruffle has a puzzled expression on his face
when the fat man talks to Kaira & walks right
past him & then thinks to himself:

			"Is he blind? I'm standing right here."

As Kaira heads to the bar, Gruffle returns back
to the Engineering station to assist with the
takeoff.

OOC: Guess maybe he just doesn't like Vargr? Actually, you said something about making an announcement over the PA, so I figured you were still in the ship for a few seconds longer.

Kaira immediately heads for the bar, where she surveys for the missing passenger. "Gentlemen, I'm with the Zax. Looking for a Jason Wenceslaus. C'mon, sir. Ship's waiting."

"Yeah, right cheer I am....hic" says the very inebriated J. Wenceslaus. OOC: He's going to need some assistance embarking, if he can even walk at all.

OOC: That was my understanding as well.

Kaira frowns at the drunk, though she'd seen this too many times to count. In fact, Kaira had often been the reason or perhaps cause of said drunkenness in the past.

"All right," Kaira says to the crowd inside the bar. "Who wants a hundred credits to drag this sod to the Zax?" She looks around at the men. "I need two men." Then, she looked down at Wenceslaus. "I know I'm not touching him."

Two burly, truck-driver types immediately stand up. One says, "Why, shore, little lady. Throw in a case of beer for each of us, and we'll even try not to break him too much."

OOC: 2 cases of beer= 40 CR

Kaira tries not to get too close to the behemoths and buys them the cases of beer.

"This way... um... gentlemen..."

The 'incredulous hulks' do their duty and gratefully accept their rewards. [sblock=Off-color? Nahhh...]Kaira can't help thinking [try as she might!] that it would be a very, ah, expanding experience to be with one or both of the brutes.[/sblock]

The last passenger aboard, and the Zax now all fueled up, the "road" beckons!

 

[Shayuri]

Zoe gives Spider a suspicious glance or two, but since she doesn't grab a wrench or make any other threatening remarks, it's likely she didn't read his mind. Though most Zhodani with psionics don't consider concepts like 'mental privacy' to have much validity, Zoe's acculturated to a more Imperial mindset.

Fortunately.

She returns to the cockpit and settles into the pilot's chair, running preflight with her left hand as she brings up the starport control with her right. Clearance is granted, and she lifts the Zax gently from its docking cradle up into the atmosphere, accelerating as it goes.

"Okay ladies and gentlemen," she says over the intercom. "Thanks for flying on the Zax. We remind passengers that only doors that are unlocked lead to areas of the ship that are cleared for your access. Trying to access areas that are off limits is strictly prohibited. This is for your safety, and the safety of the ship. We have a thirty minute cruise to the jump point at which time I'll ask everyone to sit down as we execute the transition to jumpspace. Thanks, and if you have any questions...just ask Spider."

Maybe she caught a glimpse after all.

Jimmy

Jimmy helps the passengers get situated for takeoff. Mr. Wenceslaus is tucked in with a little help from Doc.
