[T20] High Law and low justice

[Wilphe]

Ruzz'koff checks that his (minimal) luggage is stowed properly and will then take the opportunity before leaving of going thoroughly over the ship, or at least the parts he can get to - noting the locations of emergency equipment, pressure hatches and the routes to the lifeboats or whatever other evacuation facilities on board. Vids are one thing, seeing it over in reality is quite another - of course actually having to evac for real is nothing like walking through.
<Old habits die hard>
He takes the opportunity to cast a practiced eye over the ship, looking at condition, maintenence and general state of the vessal.

Returning to the stateroom when the Captain requests, he gives a brief and laconic nod to his roomies before strapping himself in.
"It is good to be moving again. I have been in one place for too long. I am called Ruzz'koff, but you can read the passanger lists as well as I so know that already."

Ktarlewaweikye stows her luggage carefully and then straps herself in. By the time Bilem arrives, she is fairly well settled and all he has to do is double-check everything. "Will we have time to land planetside at the outpost?" she asks him curiously.

During the hours before jump, she will wander the ship not quite aimlessly, making sure to note where escape pods and such are. She will idly map in her head the best escape route from her quarters, as well as the best defensive location. She doesn't expect trouble, but after those years with her cousin, she is determined to be able to help herself in any situation. As she wanders, she will snag whatever steward or similar person she can find. "Are there any other Aslan aboard?" She will also wander into the (free) mess, and order something light to eat. If anyone else is there whom she knows, she will ask to sit with them. If not, she will sit by herself.

Saanath sits up and, assuming that Eduardo is not asleep or busy, introduces himself once more. It the man is ameniable to a chat, Saanath will spend the rest of the time before blastoff shooting the breeze about whatever.

Having never worked for a large corporation, he is rather curious as to what it is like. Eduardo also seemed rather keen to display his knowledge of corporations, recruiting and the Council, something that Saanath could do well to know more about.

And it never hurts to be on someone's good side.

After getting a drink to settle his nerves Tomas wanders the ship for a while looking over it with the practiced eye of a Navy Technician, shaking his head at the ludicrous frippery of a passenger ship, smiling at the structural integrity and raising a curious eye at any unexpected anomalies. He checks to see who might be in the surrounding rooms and like the others too tracks the escape routes - as always at least three - and position of the lifeboats and bars et al the rest of the time he spends looking at the various people walking by.

Seeing Bilem he grins and waves him over "Hello, good to see you again. Hey I use to be a Navy Engineer - any chance I could get a look at the Ships Engine room?, I'd love to see what keeps this thing up"

"Hello," says Cassius, "Look, uh, I jut want you guys to know... I don't have a problem with vargr, okay? I had some good friends back in University who were vargr." He sort of leaves that hanging in the air, as if he's not sure what to say next. Unless engaged further in conversation, he, somehwat uncomfortably, buries himself in a Delgado-Nells promotional packet.

Ktarlewaweikye stows her luggage carefully and then straps herself in. By the time Bilem arrives, she is fairly well settled and all he has to do is double-check everything. "Will we have time to land planetside at the outpost?" she asks him curiously.

"Well, I suppose you get off the ship if you wanted to, but apparently there's not really much to see. The charts peg it as a class D startport on a vacuum world that happens to be rich in selenium. Most of the ships that travel between Daramm and Dukh are jump 4 and skip Tamandere altogether."

"As she wanders, she will snag whatever steward or similar person she can find. "Are there any other Aslan aboard?"

"Not many, ma'am. The ship's director of security is an Aslan, but I'am afraid there simply aren't too many of your race i nthis region of space. There should be goodly number at the Council, though, since it attracts people from all over."

She will also wander into the (free) mess, and order something light to eat. If anyone else is there whom she knows, she will ask to sit with them. If not, she will sit by herself.

ooc: you can handle this with the oter players.

Eduardo seems happy enough to talk after a bit of effort to draw him out. It seems that he, still fully emplyed by Delgado-Nells, is heading to the Council, unbeknownst to his employer, in an effort to get re-recruited by them. He's concerned that he's about to be laid off, just three years before he's fully vested in the pension system. If he can get a new four-year contract in a new position with the company signed at the Council, and can do it before his immediate supervisons can sack him, he figures he and his wif wil be able to keep their expected pensions. "Now I'm not going to tell you to live your life, but if I had it to do over again, I'd do it alone, without getting mixed up in any of these megacorps. "

"I'll see what I can do, although it might have to be more of a group tour sort of thing. Where were you wokring before this, friend?"

"I'll see what I can do, although it might have to be more of a group tour sort of thing. Where were you wokring before this, friend?"

"Well you and I both know that those group tours never see anything really interesting" Tomas grins "but see what you can do"

When Bilem ask about his former employment he shrugs as if it was no big deal
"I was part of an independent belter crew" Tomas answers simply

"personally I did more salvage than mining though. Before that I was 8 years Imperial Navy - fighting pirates along the fringes.

"did a bit of piloting, hull work and engineering throughout - pretty good with Gravs too" he smiles then reminded of his home

"Going home to see my father, he's a Grav mechanic.

Anyway whats Hiranu like as an employer?"

Quinn turns his head and stares Anaarsi in the eye for a good long minute, without replying.

He then turns back to his portacomp and grunts. "Marines, kid. Marines. And I ain't no merc."

ooc: Sorry Watus - missed this post before

"Oh, er, sorry." Anaarsi swallows, pauses for a second, and then, like a man who just doesn't know when to close his mouth, he forges onward. "So, uh, not a mercenary, huh? What are your plans for the Council then?" Before waiting for a response, he lauches into a long speech about his plans for getting his broker's seat on the HCN exchange, mentioning his GPA at the university, and how he plans to get a leg up on his competition in a very ingenious - if he does say so himself - way.
