"Tremendously good." announces Feudjio. He pulls several credit chips from his pocket and sorts through them. After a minute of fussing about he comes up with the right combination and passes them to Ken. "Pleasure doing business with you fine Sirs. You have my number, don't hesitate if your back this way with anything interesting."
OOC:
I assume someone get the spice and brings it down to them. If so, we're ready to move on.

OOC:
Zailor will have done it after Ken gave the ok.

OOC:
If anyone has anything important to do, we can retcon it. Otherwise:
Feudjio thanks you for the business and the two Ocsin head back towards their ship. The rest of you head back to the Explorer's guild, picking up Creds as you pass the entry way to the spaceport.
Mar 7, 2025 3:44 pm
Creds rejoins the others from the entrance to the spaceport. "I trust everything went smooth as a greased Gamorrean down a gundark's gullet?" He then fixes his eyes toward the Exporers Guild. "On second thought, don't tell me."

Ken smiles back at the Ocsin as he takes the credits. 'We'll certainly keep you in mind if we find anything unusual on our travels.' Once they've loaded the spice onto the pallet, Ken grabs all the credits they need from the Slippery Ghest. 'Let's make a deal.'

After a quick walk you all return to the Explorer's guild, the desk clerk see's you coming, "Ah, back already? I assume we're in business?"
Mar 10, 2025 8:35 pm
Ken slaps the credits down on the desk. 'We're in business.'
Mar 11, 2025 12:55 pm
The desk clerk produces a data pad, "Here's the contract, as we discussed. Sign here and I'll keep a copy and the data pad with your copy is yours to keep. Once signed Ms. Ndral will be available to leave between two and twenty-four hours from now, as determined by you. Once you leave or 24 hours from now will start the one month timer on the initial contract. Any questions?"
Mar 11, 2025 1:59 pm
Creds takes out his own datapad, pulls a pair of goggles over his eyes, and squints at the proffered contract on the counter. "Uh... Just one minute, hon. Let me take a gander at this here contract and make sure we haven't forgotten anything important..."
OOC:
Knowlede (Ed) check to read over the contract, spot any loopholes or unforeseen gotcha clauses. +1 success for Data Goggles, +1 boost for Legal Datapad. Guessing at difficulty, but add more purples as appropriate. Adding a setback for this being an unfamiliar territory.

Assuming that roll stands, could the Triumph be that Creds can't spot any loopholes or gotchas, but he does notice that the Explorers Guild is running a promotion—there's an advertising holo at the top of the datapad—that says that if this is your first contract, you get 1 month free rental on an exploration droid for your trip? And maybe advantages are that we get our ship's supplies topped off for free, as well.

The clerk sighs when Creds points out the add. "Most beings don't want strange droids tagging along. But, you gents seem a little more open minded." He hits a button and a minute later a 4 legged droid comes trotting up. "F one D zero at your service, he's one of the finer exploration droids I've encountered. As the add says, free for the first month, he's 500cr each additional month you're out there and 2,500cr if he comes back in less than good condition."

AD-hoc looks down at what is apparently their new travel companion. "This trip is just full of surprises. They aren't staying in my room."
Mar 12, 2025 1:12 pm
Creds grins to himself at getting the freebie. "Don't worry, A H. He looks housebroken." He places the datapad back down, pressing his thumbprint to sign it. "The language is pretty archaic, but it checks out." To the others, he says, "I suggest we sign it and ask our new guide what supplies we might need."

Ken nods at Creds, reluctantly impressed at his negotiating. 'We already have one strange droid,' he says, pointing a thumb at AD-hoc, 'What difference will another one make?'
Mar 12, 2025 8:40 pm
It takes a moment too long for AD-hoc to realize Ken is referring to him, the droid turns and looks over it's shoulder to see where the Rodian was pointing. Turning back to the clerk he ask; "Where do we wait for Ndral?"
Mar 14, 2025 1:18 pm
"Ndral can meet you at your ship in two hours, at the soonest. Or you can pick a later time if you have other things to attend to."
Mar 14, 2025 4:44 pm
Creds shakes his head. "Now wait a sec. We may need to stock up on supplies. We'll show ourselves over to Ndral, then, thanks."
OOC:
Creds wants to ask our guide what, if anything, we need to have on hand for the expedition. She presumably brings her own gear, but are we planning for jungle trekking? Tundra excursion? Desert survival?

OOC:
Don't really want to land on a planet and die after 30s because we can't breathe the atmosphere
Mar 14, 2025 6:19 pm
OOC:
AD-hoc doesn't see any issue, lol

OOC:
breathing has its advantages.
