Chapter 10 - Is it a heist, if we bought it?

'We've tangled with the Yi-Yar plenty of times - they're ruthless shoot first and ask questions later sorts.' He smiles. 'But we've always come out on top and...' He looks out the window towards their ship, The Slippery Ghest, 'We might have taken a few things that temporarily belonged to them - and they aren't too happy about it.'

Any gear gathering anyone wants to do before we move on?

OOC:

I've only got 275 credits, so not much I can buy from my wish list yet. (Next target: Armor Inserts!)

Creds is YYGG in Negotiation, though, so I'm happy to have him shop for anyone else looking to buy things. He's YGG in Streetwise, so one of y'all might outrank him there if you want to buy something illegal.

was thinking about getting a secondary transponder for the ship. But its 20,000cr and rarity 7, might be cheaper to just get another ship.

That sounds Streetwisey to me, but we can try...

OOC:

If your serious about the transponder, Reom can provide it instead of credits for this Liana mission.

OOC:

nah, maybe next time, lets get the new guys some credits first

The four of you leave, heading back to the Slippery Ghest. Norta appoaches with a datachip for Ken, Here's a reciept for the equipment you dropped off, we'll let you know when it's sold. Also, I had the guys top off the ship supplies, etc. Have fun at the auction."

You board the ship and Pergano has it fired up and ready to go.

<cut scene>

You emerge from Hyperspace over Lianna, the ship traffic appears normal and Pergano slots you into the system and requests a landing pad. He transmits the information indicating you are in the employee of Lianna Light Freight and Expediting, Inc. Soon you are on the ground and the ramp lowers.

A couple of questions I forgot to ask: How much are we being paid for this? And has the company fronted us the credits to pay for any lots we bid on? If so, what's our upper credit limit?

I also have per-session talents; how do y'all handle those?

Mar 5, 2024 3:01 pm

OOC:

Sorry, it's 5,000 credits each. There's a corporate 'voucher' that you can pick up once you reach the LLFE, Inc. office. You won't have a hard limit, but you won't have direct access to the credits, you'll be bidding with the 'company card'.

It seems to work ok if we treat 'Session' talents as 'Scene' talents. It's rare a scene would go longer than a real 'session' and it should increase the chance for using talents.

Ken is strutting in front of the mirror in his cabin, trying to decide what to wear. Eventually settling on his newly refurbished armoured jacket - reinforced with plastoid plates and now sporting a very fetching purple sheen. He secretes a holdout blaster and some brass knuckles in hidden pockets. Activating his comlink he broadcasts throughout the ship, 'Any idea what the rules are on carrying weapons to this auction?'

AD-hoc is 'meditating' in the maintenance room, slightly annoyed at the interruption "You are aware that is not my area of expertise. Perhaps one of our new passengers can be of assistance? Contact me if something mechanical needs repair or upgrades."

Creds, too, finds himself scouring his belongings for the perfect ensemble. Over the hyperspace trip, he's managed to move things from his duffel bag to a spare closet in his berth. But he frowns that his scarf collection is woefully inadequate. He sighs and selects an old standby. But 5,000 credits can buy a lot of scarfs.

"My guess is that they won't question it if I say I'm representating Lianna Light Freight, and you all are my bodyguards. But better to ask for forgiveness rather than permission."

OOC:

Legit hope: I want to build up a wardrobe of scarves for Creds that work like Lando Calrissian's cape armoire.

Zailor is restlessly pacing his berth as he hears the Ken's broadcast, he's been sitting on his hands for too long.

I would think we bring weapons and run with the bodyguard excuse. If we have to leave them somewhere we can see what to do about it. But in the end it's up to your discretion, captain.

After answering he looks around his room. With a sigh he starts his calisthenics routine trying to entertain himself.

"Acutally," Pergano chimes in from the cockpit. "This planet has a No Weapons policy. Like, leave'em on the ship or else, as I'm reading the Spaceport notifications. I guess being the corporate home of Santhe-Sienar industries and the birthplace of the ubiquitous, yet oh so fragile, Tie Fighter, has them a bit uptight."

"Perhaps this mission wont be terribly exciting after all" AD-hoc says "Any ideas on how to sneak one in? Just in case."

Creds removes his holstered light blaster pistol and locks it away in his berth. "Well isn't that a gust of cold air," he says, walking toward the open gangway. "I'll leave my piece here. But if you fellas want to try to sneak a sidearm out, best I don't know about it."
