[QUOTE="Leif, post: 5346517, member: 48762"] Zoe's comm buzzes/beeps/whatever it does, indicating that our intrepid pilot has an incoming communication from Doc Hannigan. Doc says, [color=lightgreen]"All is proceeding apace here. I should be able to wrap things up in a couple more hours. You should monitor the Starport account for the [i]Zax[/i], as that is where our pay for this 'mission of mercy' is being sent."[/color] OOC: Not sure if this is usual or not, but I'm assuming that, in Imperial Space, at least, Starports immediately open an account for each vessel that makes landfall, to serve as a ready clearinghouse for any income from trading or, more likely, any fines/penalties that are assessed for violations of Starport regulations or local laws. Any unpaid penalties/fines will be electronically encoded on the vessel's transponder, so that the charges will follow the ship to its next port, provided that the next port is also under Imperial rule. It's not immediately clear just how long any such charges will stick with the ship.... :devil: [/QUOTE]
