JUMP! Fornice to Jokotre

LC looks at Alice and Said-Ma and says
"Go and find a broker and see what type of standard freight, you can find to move Fornice."

Looking at "Tamm, Rin, Leilani and Bronz
" Fan out into The Star port, since we're going to be stuck here for 3 to 4 days and find out what you can on cargo
that could be shipped as far as cargo to Fornice. Look for the unusual and exotic. Try not to get set up by some shady Art collector dealer, looking to offload some religious artifacts. Use your common sense when evaluating these prospects."

"I am going to what passes here for information on raw materials."

" Everyone cannot go off to the 4 corners of this high port. So, figure out among yourselves in engineering and commerce divisions, so one person stays here while the others go out searching for potential cargo. I want this ship manned by no less than two people at all times."

When LC leaves the ship, he goes to what passes as the high port Commodity exchange and sees who is working there. He asks around for who are good broker of commodies and who to stay away from. He then goes to the exchnge listings and scans down the list and looks up their reputation of several offices and picks a commodity broker that has medium to low reputation. He then goes to that office to introduce himself to find out what cargoes are available. He then repeats this process at a couple other commodity brokers to assess what can be procured, and what is out of question.

" Hi, there, my name is Louis Rains. I'm the Captain of a small, far trader, the Miss Fortune and I'm looking for some cargo to move and I was wondering, what is available and what kind of deals do you have right now."

EDIT
"I was looking for any basic raw materials, basic ore, crystals or any pharmaceuticals. Or maybe some arts items?"

Please, no one to blame here. Maybe my own low energy and creativity-block. I was hoping for some imagination-injection! But really its my job as GM to fill in these blanks, not yours.
OOC:
Let's carry on and do the best we can. I'll have a continuation of this thread 'up' as soon as I can; maybe tomorrow.

Bronz casts a questioning glance toward LC. Asking around for off-world cargo wasn’t his kind of work—even back in his shadier days, he’d kept his head in the engine room, making sure they could lift off in a hurry if things went south. The "business" side of things had always been someone else’s problem.

Still, this was different. They had a ship to run now. Legit, or close enough. And it wouldn’t hurt to get a feel for the locals—see how deep the religion ran, and how they treated outsiders.

"Yeah, I’m game," he said, pushing off the bulkhead. "Anyone want to tag along, or we spreading out and bringing back whatever we find?"
OOC:

FYI... Bronz has zero skills as far as this goes so any roll would be totally unskilled.

Tamm suggest Rin & Leilani stay together. Bronz, you don't look very confident. Would you mind staying with our lady?

Tamm will look for the poorer parts of the orbital station where he feels comfortable. He will engage people who look like business people, buying them a drink (non-alcoholic if alcohol is prohibited) and talking business.
Tamm is looking for small, high profit lots.

Tharrok helps as best he can, but spends much of his time in his cabin where he has the environmental system running overtime to keep it cool. He also remains underdressed as a crew member, wearing only shorts and some lightweight footwear. "Sorry, everyone. I don’t normally have such a problem, but this heat is really getting to me." In his next bit of downtime, he goes to see Said Ma.

When Tharrok comes to see MAma, she completes a full work up in him. Researching his symptoms,

She treats him for...

At the High Port over-heating is not a problem. And at the "Machines-are-Us" industrial site the exposure to the local hot temperatures and thin atmosphere are likely to be short-duration and can be compensated for as necessary.

I'm generally opposed to players taking their characters "out of play". I understand that you might have real-life time constraints or other distracting factors, so that is OK now and again. Play as you can, when you can.

OOC:
Not really trying to take my character out of play so much as just using heat and fatigue as an in-game/in-character explanation of my recent attendance issues. I suspect that Said Ma will find something simple (maybe a vitamin deficiency or a common Vargr condition of some sort and can get Tharrok back on his feet in a day or so…

I will respond appropriately soon. I'm backed up something fierce on the home front

No worries. No need to add to the backlog.
