Mamba, we don't have enough credits to cover the docking fee right now. What do we do? I'd rather not be in debt to the Hutts

Note that the Mamba account is in addition to what you guys have as personal credits. And yes, I will totally charge an extortionate short-term payday loan kind of interest rate if you go on credit.May 14, 2016 3:55 pm
let's see.. we have 140 in the account.. and I have 25 credits personally... anyone else have any credits?

May I make a Knowledge or Streetwise roll to see if I know this guy? Lin is going to try and negotiate favorable term, I'm looking to see if I have a personal or working relationship here I can leverage.May 14, 2016 4:48 pm
OOC:
yes. It's a big station so call it a hard roll to know him. Price negotiation will be daunting with setback or boost.

Akhrirar mutters doing the math mentally before he lets everyone know, "Okay everyone pony up 22, if you don't have it we'll pool the difference and pay it back out from the money from the job."

Assuming a 250 credit bill currently. Am I the Captain? I mean I do run my own business... plus I'd like to talk to this guya bout his jacket. *grins*

"I've got 125 credits in my personal account. If it's needed it's there." I fall in step behind Lin, a few paces behind, "If it looks like you've got the negotiation under control, I'll slip out into the station and get a start on assessing the situation."

Looking through his pockets Fuzil finds nothing. Then he remembers. He goes back into the engine room and when he make sure no on is looking he pukls up a plant from a pot and pulls out some credits.
Coming back into the hallway he hands his remaining credits, "Here is my last 5 credits. "

Akhrirar grumbles about budgeting and ponies up the rest out of pocket once everyone has lumped in their share of the fees giving back what isn't needed.

Hmmm...Lin gets a headache trying to remember who this guy is...

Mala stand up and walks towards the docking ramp, pulling out her small tube on lip gloss and applying it. She takes a deep breath before stepping off the ship, then plasters a big, warm smile on her face and approaches the dockmaster, attempting to get on his good side.
My friend! Mala addresses the dock master. Everyone notices that suddenly she's speaking with a more stereotypical twi'lek accent whereas her usual accent was more Coruscanti. My crew and I are pleased to be aboard your station again! I hope you are having a good day and that we can get through these formalities quickly so we can all get our business done!
man, fuck this dice roller.. this guy's probably a racist or something...

The dockmaster looks at Mala, but doesn't even crack a smile.
"Yes, thank you. I too wish to expense with the details quickly. There is much to be done." But this is said in sort of a rote monotone that makes you doubt his sincerity. "A ship this size carries a docking fee of 250 credits per week - paid for in advance." he ticks a mark on a data pad. "Will you need access to our maintenance facilities to address some of that..." he considers the damage to the FTY, "...unfortunate localized discoloration?" The damage is obviously that from the TIE fighters and clearly looks like starship weapon damage, but the dockmaster seems to be keen to avoid unpleasantness. "Do you have any cargo to declare?" he asks hopefully.
He looks up and adds. "Perhaps refueling and resupply? Based on my records it's been nearly nine weeks since you were last at Kwenn station."

Lin swaggers up past Mala, "Hello there! Yes it has been a while. We have no cargo to declare. However, we do have a bit of a liquid cash flow issue. We would be happy to pay you as soon as we have completed a bit of business we have here a the station. I understand that occasional lines of credit may be extended to "repeat customers", which we are. Would you consider allowing us to defer our payment for 12 hours in exchange for a reasonable..."personal contribution" upon the completion of our business?"

Mala, realizing how Lin's statement could be taken, quickly steps in front of him and addresses the dockmaster, friendly smile on her face.
By 'personal contribution', he means an additional amount of credits earmarked for Dockmaster Improvement Fund, of course

Meanwhile, as Lin and Mala talk details with the dockmaster, I slip out the emergency exit floor hatch just back from the top of the ramp - a little 'feature' of the ship that made up my mind when we were debating between this hunk of space-worthy junk and another. The hatch drops me below the ship, and the ramp blocks anyone standing at the end of it, or moving towards it, from seeing me. I peek around before pulling my hood up. Then, I start skulking away from the rapidly declining 'negotiation' to begin my inspection of the docking premises, and hopefully slip out of the bay to start scouting out the situation surrounding our delivery.

Fuzil is finishing up the last bit of watering and harvesting rippened veggies & fruits. It wouldn't take much time since it is small, however he knows better to interupt Mala and Lin when they are "talking things out" when money is involved
He slowly does his caretaking waiting until Lin will be ready so go looking for parts.

Akhrirar comes out to see what's taking so long and starts to wonder, the long awkward silence and side glances at Mala and Lin before staring down the Dockmaster, "Dockmaster... nice coat, custom made? What are we looking at for fees?" Akhrirar says aloud smiling a toothy grin.
"Did Lin say something to get himself shot... again." he mutters through clenched teeth in a lower tone to his crewmates.
