"We're headed back to Persephone. We picked up some cargo here that needs unloading, and I need to find us another job. And stay away from Badger while I'm at it..." Rui muttered the last part, hoping nobody heard him. "And for the record, we couldn't take them. Even low-level troops carry laser weapons, and only a few of us were even carrying anything. I didn't know how long we had before more Feds showed up, and I ain't gonna risk my crew. Simple as that."

Tai Rosuto
Tianlong - Bridge

"I don't even think we'd get into a real fight with them." Tai commented with a grin, "I think the best tool we'd have to fight them while in cuffs would be harsh language and maybe the occasional puppy dog eyes." That silly grin never did leave his face even though he knew that now with the botched job the crew wouldn't be able to fix up the ship like they wanted to. Not to mention all the other expenses needed regardless of flying, it was a mighty tight squeeze. "And Rui who else are we going to badger about a job on Persephonie if not him?"

Iris crossed her arms. "Who is the badger? Is that some sort of a nickname for a weasel?" she said, keeping an uninterested face, the whole business with the casino seemed poorly handled all round and her last client was a bore. Wasn't the point of joining the ship getting some adventure into her life?

Chastity Munroe
Engine Room

"See ya around, Johnny."

Chastity cleaned up the rest of her work, satisfied that she hadn't had to resort to duct tape for these few repairs. She decided it was about time she did her rounds, say hello. Cockpit would probably be a good place to start; John had sounded like he was headed to the crew quarters, which meant someone else was probably piloting. She made her way up, pleased to see Rui, pleasantly surprised by Iris, and soured to see... well, him.

"Rui. Iris. Rosuto." She seemed to ignore the third immediately after addressing him, turning to face the other two. "What's up?"

Rui smiled as Chass entered the cockpit, though he could tell something was still up between her and Tai. "Hey Chass. I was just explaining to Iris what we're going to do now that our brilliant plot has failed. Anyway Iris, Badger is a man, though I'd apply that term very loosely to him. He runs a smuggling operation, gathers cargo for people like us to offload from the world. And I may owe him a moderate amount of coin... Part of why I needed this job to go smooth, and then those gorram idiots in the bar showed up...But he's not the only guy with jobs on Persephone, we'll find something else." Rui said, addressing Tai's question. "So Chass, what can I do fer ya?"

Chastity Munroe
Cockpit

"Just doing my rounds, saying hello. You know how it goes." She moved further into the cockpit, further removing Tai from her line of sight. "I passed along the Tianlong's specs to John; he seemed kinda pleased with what we've done with the ship."

A pause. "Well, as pleased as John gets around people."

Waving it off, she continued. "I also finally found the source of that noise in the engine room. We might recover some mileage we didn't even know we were missing. Nothing really noticeable, but every coin counts, y'know?"

Tai Rosuto
Tianlong - Bridge

"Sounds like a plan." Tai could tell that something was up with Chass, she was likely mad at him over his comments. However, he would not apologize though it was how he was and she should know better that none of it was meant to be hurtful or serious. He chuckled a bit and looked over at Rui, "Aw, look... She's kind of cute when she's giving me the cold shoulder." He chuckled, not in a diminutive way but in a psudo-charming way to try and take the sting off her scorn. "Frankly Chass I don't know why you're surprised by me anymore."

Rui glanced between Chass and Tai and sighed. "Okay, I don't know what's goin' on here, but somethin' happened and it's gotta be talked about. What's the issue, and how do we fix it?"

Iris melted out of the room while the discussion went on, as interesting as it sounded she had a client to arrange.

She entered her shuttle and pulled up the double screens and cross referenced the list of those seeking companions and those seeking the ones on the other list dead. She pulled up the file of on that looked interesting, there was very little information on his plea for service, but the plea for his removal caught her attention-

Atherton Wing. A nobleman. Noblemen could be interesting...or a bore...wanted for harassing the women of the area and paying off the officials and she was cheaper than a bribe. Very true, and a good cause in her mind. But was the last piece of information that made her send a notice to him arranging a meeting.

Blacklisted from the Companions Guild.

Yes, this one would be fun. She would have fun with this one...

Chastity Munroe
Cockpit

"Oh, just Tai making the mistake of saying that I'm incapable of functioning," Chass snapped, her tone uncharacteristically bitter. "Never mind his beloved sarcasm finally hitting a nerve he ought to very well know he shouldn't hit."

Tai Rosuto
Tianlong - Bridge

"Oh Chass, you know me!" He said with a smile, hoping to see it at least reflected a bit on Chass' face. "If it really was an issue there's no way you'd be able to do the things you do or get around like you actually do!" He stopped for a minute, the grin disappearing for a grave look momentarily. "I even forgot about what happened to you, that should be a good thing right? I wouldn't have made the joke had I actually been thinking about it, sorry for having a good sense of humor and forgetting about it." It was true, Chass had been around them for so long and had been just like everybody else Tai often forgot about her condition, it didn't effect her much to even be a factor.

Eli Eisley


Trying to defuse the growing situation on the bridge, Eli, went up behind Chass, resting a shoulder on the mechanic, "Hey now, she hasn't let us fall out of the sky, or let the ship fail...okay fail in a major way. So she seems to be doing great in my books." Eli smiled, right now he was just hoping that there wouldn't be a fight breaking out in the bridge, in the cargo hold maybe, but the bridge, it had important gear in here, and random buttons being hit in a brawl, just didn't seem like the smartest thing to happen, not in the black at least.

Chastity Munroe
Cockpit

Chass let out a pent-up sigh. "I just hate that it even has to come up," she replied. "It's a stupid sore spot. I hate the idea that fixing what got broken doesn't cover up the fact that it was broken. Especially if there's mocking or pity as a result..."

Tai Rosuto
Tianlong - Bridge

Tai's grimace disappeared in place of his usual grin once more upon his face. "Oh please Chass, I'd never pity you!" He said, with a lighter inflection on it this time so she would know that it was all supposed to be a joke and lighten the mood. Although this was far from a brawl, and Eli had the habit of getting into one far quickly, and that slightly annoyed Tai but it was something about Eli he had to live with.

Chastity Munroe
Cockpit

"You're a riot, Tai. Hope they don't call the Feds in to crack down."

Despite the snark, Chass visibly relaxed a bit. She knew how Tai worked, and as far as apologies went, that hadn't been too shabby for him.

Rui looked on as his two crewmates talked out what had happened. It felt weird not getting involved, but at the same time he was kind of relieved. He clapped his hands and stood up from his chair, flashing a smile at his first mate and mechanic. "Well then! Glad we got that sorted, you two. Now, we gotta start figurin' a way to avoid Badger and still find work on Persephone. I'm open to ideas, 'specially if someone on board has a job to pull that can rake in some coin. Ideas?"

((Okay, this is now the point where you, YES YOU, as players can hire the ship to do jobs you come up with. There's a bit more info about that in the first post of the OOC thread.))

After spending a few hours going over options with the crew, Rui still wasn't satisfied that they'd found a decent way to make the coin they needed. However, there was no more time for talk, as they were arriving at Persephone. Rui gave up the pilot's chair to John, who landed them without much of a problem. Once done, he gathered his crew in the cargo bay. "Alright guys, here's what we're gonna do. Leon, I need you to go out and restock us on supplies, protein supplements, all that good stuff that tastes like go-se. Chass, you'll be with me, we're gonna look fer any parts we need and see if we can't get 'em at a good rate. Iris's doin' her Companionin' thing. Rest of ya, I'm gonna need someone to stay just outside the ship and try to get us some passengers, and everyone else spread out and look fer jobs. We're needin' some coin, Leon and I are taking most of what's left to restock us on supplies and parts."

As Rui finished speaking, a well-dressed young man walked onto the ship. The only thing that marred his face was a jagged scar on his cheek, looked like it from from a fight. "Atherton Wing, here for the Companion." He said in a stuffy tone. Rui rolled his eyes, of course the guy was a stuffy noble-someone. "Sylvia, your date's here." He said, using Iris's codename.

Iris came into the room as if she had been waiting to make her entrance, dressed to kill in a sheer dress with double draping at strategic places. "Hello Atherton, I am sorry about the crew, they won't say anything about you being here and my shuttle offers complete privacy. I'll lead you." she said,extending an arm and making her way back to the shuttle, ready to start the night. She did a mental checklist, the water was set to boil when she walked into the room and the transparent liquid in her partners cup should be dried to an non-noticeable covering...

The fun was just about to start.

Chass gave a smile and a mock-salute. "Lead the way, bossman."

Rui nodded and looked at his gathered crew. "Alright guys, contact me if ya got any questions, me an' Chass are heading out." Rui turned and led Chastity out of the ship, into the hot sun of the Persephone markets. "Alright Chass, we don't have much coin fer parts this time, so you gotta pick and choose. Now I ain't goin' to no fancy shop to get parts, so we're goin' to find the scrapyard." Rui said, turning to Chass and flashing her a wink. He turned back to watch the road, ready to say more, and found himself staring down the barrel of a pistol. "Whoa... Well hey there." He said to the thug at the end of the gun. The thug just stared for a moment before speaking. "C'mon Gao. Badger wants to talk." Rui swore under his breath and flashed a smile. "Badger? Oh but I just came from... Nah, that won't work. Okay, let's go." Rui would have tried to bluff his way out of it under normal circumstances, but he knew they were surrounded, and he wasn't going to put Chass in the middle of a firefight.

--------------------------------

Atherton Wing took Sylvia's arm and followed her further into the ship, glancing disinterestedly at various things. "I am quite surprised a Companion of your standing would be found on such a run down piece of leh-su such as this. May I ask how that came to happen?"

---------------------------------

Rui and Chass were roughly forced int a pair of chairs in front of a desk. Behind the desk sat a small man in a ratty suit and a bowler hat, sneering at them from behind his grimy stubble. "Well well well... 'Ello, Ru." He said, folding his hands and peering at them. "I see ya' brought som'n with ya this toim. Woss the pretty little's thing's name, oy?"
