'Chuba nagoola' laughs Ken, 'Not bad yourself.' He tracks the fleeing ship with the cannon, while he whoops and cheers. 'Let them go?' he asks Dancy but overcome by the excitement and thrill of the chase he instinctively squeezes the trigger.
OOC:
Just seems like the kind of thing Ken would do - no bonus since the ship is no longer pursuing

At the announcement of a break in hostilities, Dancy begins to move toward the bridge, she hears Ken's question. Sure, no reason to antagonize them. As Ken's parting volley leaps across the void, she walks up behind Blih. Or maybe there is...

Ken watches his shots run down the fleeing ship, slip through the shields and blast off another significant chunk of hull plating.

Looking down at Blih, Do you mind hailing Suen and let him know we're ready to meet up?
Feb 12, 2021 6:15 pm
Blih was glad the "fight" was over without the ship getting shot at. He discovered that it was easier to ignore the fact that only a few inches of durasteel were standing between him and an horrible death in vacuum when there was no obvious reason for exploding.

His antennapalps were following Dancy movement toward the bridge when the unexpected vibration of the second cannon shot made him jump in his seat.

It took Blih a considerable amount of effort to keep his voice calm and steady as he answered Dancy and communicated with the other ship.
"Sure thing"

"Dancy is ready for meet up"

He then turn slightly toward Pergano and Dancy, curious about how they would go about meeting in space.

Ken laughs, 'Heh, sorry about that, just overexcited. Still, they won't be coming back any time soon.' Secretly he's rather satisfied by the way the cannon fire shears through the hull plating. 'This is it Ken, you're gonna be somebody.'

AD-hoc walks the ship, and runs diagnostics to verify there is no damage. Satisfied with the results, he says to no one in particular: "The Longshot appears to still be in optimal condition."
Feb 15, 2021 1:51 pm
OOC:
If anyone has something they need to do before we move on, let me know and we can retconn as needed.
The two ships move together and "Suen's Gamble" extends it's docking tube to connect with the "Longshot". Moments latter, a Sullustan climbs down the ladder.

Dancy smiles at the Sullustan, Well, Suen, should I ask?

The Sullustan releases a soft chuckle, You can, but I don't have an answer. We're still trying to figure out if they're from a previous job, the next job or if they just saw us at the last station and figured we were worth hitting. But thank you and everyone else here for the timely interruption. Suen looks around the room and nods at each of you.

Turning back to Dancy, I assume you're here and on time because you have it?

Dancy produces a datapad and hands it to Suen, It's there and it's as time sensitive as you expected. Suen hits a button on his wirst com and takes the datapad. A second later a human comes down the ladder and Suen hands him the datapad. Setup the tight beam and transmit this immediately.

Turning back to Dancy, he hands her a pair of cred sticks. That should square you for this one, you available for another one?

Dancy rolls her eyes, Come on Suen, vacations don't pay the bills, what do you have?

Suen chuckles again and continues,True enough. Reom, the Twi-lek that runs IsoTech out at the Wheel, he's looking for some help. Says he needs a ship and a crew to run down some 'find' in the outer rim. He contacted one of the team, looking to keep it quiet I assume, for a reference. If you're in, and you can find a ship, we'll let him know to expect you. As it stands, he's the one offering the job and paying the bills, we're just passing the info for the 'goodwill'.

Dancy looks thoughtful for a second, then scans the room, I can probably come up with a ship and crew fairly quickly...

Blih keeps an uncaring attitude while listening carefully to the conversation.

They already got on the wrong side of another group, unknown this time. At the rate they were going, he would have to keep a list of the people they haven't pissed of instead. At least the crew seemed dependable in a scrap. He was no expert in space battle, but the ship easy maneuvering and the accurate shooting had been impressive.

He also noted the names of Reom and Isotech. Might be a good target for the future, or lead to one. Definitely seemed worth getting closer to.

When Dancy glance in his direction, he subtly nodded his own approval.
Feb 15, 2021 6:32 pm
Jeswain knew there was much he could learn from this crew. There was no question he wanted to take Dancy's offer.

He tries his best to not appear overeager, "Count me in."

Pergano smiles at Dancy, Always up for a little fun

He has so far liked this ship and it feels like a shame to leave it so soon.

Sliding down the turret ladder, Ken struts into the meeting with the others, feeling rather full of himself after the firefight. He leans against the wall as nonchalantly as he can, his hand resting on his blaster. He meets Dancy's look with a smile and another of his disconcerting winks, 'Kava?'

Dancy smiles at Ken, Kava. Well, since we're just following up on a lead and Reom is the one doing the hiring, we'd have to go ask him. Turning back to Suen, You better get moving, and let MacRogers know I'm hiring his ship for a little longer.

Suen starts up the ladder, You know, you'd save a lot of credits if you had your own ship and didn't have to keep renting one every time you went somewhere.

You're probably right. Turning back to the rest of the crew, Shall we set course for Besh Gorgon and check out the Wheel and Reom's find?

Ad-hoc replies, 'I see no downside in inquiring about the job.'

Pergano nods in agreement and heads to the cockpit to prep.

AD-hoc turns his optic sensor toward Darcy, 'We should settle payment for delivering you here, before we take on another assignment'
OOC:
I don't care when we get paid, but payment is a new experience for Ad-hoc, so he's very exited :)
Feb 18, 2021 3:27 am
Oh my, I just figured on having to keep Ken happy...,smiling at the team Dancy pulls out a couple cred sticks and starts fiddling about. After a few minutes, she holds one out to AD-hoc.

I know we didn't have a fair shot at discussing this before we got moving. But here's the thousand credits I had budgeted for transport. Split it up and that's 200 creds each for a days work.
Feb 18, 2021 4:16 pm
AD-hoc tries to calculate if the job they did is worth the credits, but realizes he has no frame of reference. So he slowly reaches out for the cred stick, giving anyone time to object. 'Payment acknowledged'
Feb 18, 2021 10:57 pm
Ken pantomimes a sad face and drooping shoulders, 'two hundred credits for such a dangerous run?'
OOC:
I don't think he's likely to have much luck but I think Ken is going to push for a bit more - I guess that's a Negotiation check - I'm just going to do a default of two difficulty but I know it's an opposed roll so you probably want to add in some more. I'm going to argue for a bonus die given how we chased off those attackers!

Blih didn't care much about the extra credit. His understanding was that they were already paid by their boss each week and people like Dancy were hiring the company services rather than the crew directly. It was not their ship after all. Two hundred credit as some kind of bonus or risk fee seemed plenty generous to him.

He was more curious about this new job. It would give him a better sense of what this crew was capable of. Who knows, maybe he could use them for more than just financing his projects.
Feb 19, 2021 3:47 pm
Dancy rolls her eyes as she looks back at Ken. Reaching in her hip pocket, she pulls out an actual credit chit. Here's twenty for the good shooting and I'll remember to talk you up next time someone asks about a gunner. She tossed the chit to him and turns back the the crew.

Anything else before we move out?

Ken catches the chit and stows it in his belt. He finger guns Dancy, blows imaginary smoke from the tip of his finger, and then leans back against the wall, feeling pretty darn good about himself.
