*The planet: Persephone

*The place: the Deadwood Tavern, one of the roughest dives in the 'Verse. The liquor tastes like reactor coolant, and blood is spilt over any occasion imaginable, from a cross look to cheating at the mahjongg tables.

*As Langston, Dark and Able sit at the table, a waitress makes here way to them. she deftly dodges to wayward hands trying to make contact with her. One errent palm gets too clse, and she pulls forth a large knife, one that seems impossible to conceal in her less-than-leaving-to-imagination outfit.*

"You might go on to placin' that muddy ruttin' paw back next to your plate. If you're partial to it, that is."

*The waitress turns back, her disposition still sourer than a Persephone scorpion almost stepped on. She looks to each in turn.*

"What'll it be?"

*After I finish laughing about the guy that near got his hand cut off. I look to my friends then the waitress.*

"Qing zailai yibei wai shì jì (can I have another whiskey?) and the house chicken with steamed rice with no veggies, add beef, and pork, and some potato egg-drop soup?"

*I smile at the waitress and then look at the other two.*

"What? its real food!"

Able smiles disarmingly and says "A large steak dinner with all the fixin's. A pitcher of beer, and bring us a whole pie for dessert.." He looks at his guests and says, "This place has good steak and pie...If you want something else, just order it. Since we are having a party here...."

And looking back at the waitress.."If anyone was looking for outbound employment, please let us know. we may be hiring..."

* Nods in the direction of the table. *

Looks at Dark.."I wouldn't miss it for all the tea in Londonium!"

Able remains quite while the two banter on a bit. He slides a handheld microcomp out and blinks his eyes..the unit activates. He merrily taps on the keypad searching the help wanteds looking for 'Travellers' fitting the new Captain's needs.
Roll 1d12+d2+d8=14. (I hope that is a crit. success, maybe we can get a crew the fast way)

He inputs words like-loyal,adventurous,skilled,with references and complete background bios required. He keeps the links open while the chatting continues, trying to find a doctor, a face-man/or companion, an astro engineer/mechanic and a pilot with training in military flight school-fighter craft and midbulk trained. He also keeps a look out for any old acquaintances or someone from his past that might be trustworthy with a rough and tumble crew.

"So Captain, I've never been on a ship like the one you described. Any special modifications you can tell me about? Most of my experience is with military craft and mid-bulk transports. Another few months practice and I plan to take my pilots license...but I can take the stick when things get slow, if you don't mind."

"In my line of work I have often found it convenient to bring my equipment with me when I leave port. I will just have it dropped off at your ship. You two are gonna love my all in one beverage processor! Coffee, tea, soda! A real treat in the Black!"

Able will drink a glass of beer and hopefully the food arrives soon enough.

* I listen to Able, when he mentions his special device I ask. *

" You don't say. That thing do up the grinding as well? Maybe it could
be modified some how for grinding trim. "

* I look back to Ben and add. *

" Yeah. Can't wait to see the new bird. What she called? "

*Watching "Able" with amazement I keep my voice down.*

"You sure your human? Well none the less the Danten DC-88 Drakes came standard with just Infirmary - Equipped with modular operating theatre, MedComp, dermal mender, emergency supplies and standard supplies. 2 x 20 ton Shuttles, 1 x Large Hover Mule Gym Equipment Vac Suits (in lockers) x10 Weapons Locker (near bridge).

And a 20lb Railgun (Ship scale, d2W, Ammo: 150). This is considered a defence weapon and mounted on a drop down turret under the bridge, with a 270 degree fire arc.

Mine has Hydroponics Room x1, Independant Life Support Systems, 4 two-man escape pods, no weapons, but it has Two Light Magnetic Grapplers (d2) in nose. At least six 50-pound, short range decoy missiles in cargo.

For its armament, and the standard crew quarters come with 2 double, 2 double bunks, 2 single, plus the common room/galley. Mine has 2 double, 4 single, plus the common room/galley. And these are full rooms of the like.

Standard passenger capacity was 4 double rooms (all aft). Mine 4 double, 4 single rooms (all aft). And mine also has just the same hidey-holes as a Firefly does also. And how could you not be familiar with this class it was made in 2468 as direct competition for the Firefly?!"

*With an extended look of shock on my face I say.*

"Oh yes I surely will enjoy your all in one drink maker!!!"

*I look over to Dark grinning. And raising my eyebrows (like score!).*

"Shes called Consequence."

* I listen to Ben spew out the details of the ship. Weapons, medical,
crew quarters and such. I grin excitedly when theres mention of a
hydroponics bay. I begin to pull out a medium size pouch simular to
a ration pouch but made of a very reflective surface. *

" I want my quarters close to the hydro bay, don't care much if its the
nicest or not either. "

* I keep listening as I intently work at opening the zip seal on it. *

* I let out a low whistle when Ben tells us the name. *

" She sounds like a gorram hard ***! "

*Listening to Dark I let out a little bit of a chuckle.*

"buhwah hahaha, I bet you do, I mean who wouldn't? Problem with that is this, the Hydroponics room is up on Deck 1 behind where the left shuttle would be on Deck 2. An the Crew Dorms are on Deck 2 just a lil ways behind where the Bridge sits up on Deck 1.

So lessen' you plan on stickin' a hammick in the hydroponics-room. Thats close as your gonna' get, sides I take to smokin cigarettes at times an the coffin-like smokin closets are in there so you'd have no privacy at all."

*I pat Dark on the shoulder continuing on.*

"An to answer you about how much of a hard-*** she is, she'll out run alot of ships, cruisin' speed, an she'll really throw you back into your seat we go hard-burn. Very fast, very clean, I take to the 'pretty ladies' if you get my drift."

*I grin and keep looking around.*

* Makes a mental note to pick up a hammock before shipping out. *

" Well should be no less than a sraight shot be it up or down dont matter.
Just as long as I can get there quick if need be. "

* Once I have the zip seal open I take out a good pinch of some green and
orange organic matter and set it in front of me. I close the pouch up and put
it back inside my jacket while producing a small thin tin from my pocket. *

" I hope your planning on finding us a doc casue I aint letting you near me
with that dermal regen. "

* Laughs and looks around befor continuing *

"Oh yeah! ifn I assign you to the single room at the back of the crew dorms on deck 2 you'll be fine. Up the stairs turn right, head through the kitchen, into the commons, an the fancy room on the right. Taint too far et'al."

*I grin as I think to myself.*

This gorram waitress is takin way to ruttin' long with our food an drink...

*My eyes light up with a grin on my face as I look to Dark.*

"That aint half a bad idea, bein I don't know how to use um!"

*Reaching into a pocket in my coat, I grab a rectangle shaped black box with gold trim and a Blue Sun label on it. Reaching inside I pull a cigarette, close the box and grab a match and light it. Once thats done I take a couple of good hits as I toss the burnt match into the ashtray on the table.*

Able spends a moment calling up the new ship's skematics and scans them, dreamily, considering some extras he might install on a long voyage just to keep himself busy. She was an older model but nothing at all like what he was used to back in the military. It sure seemed like once you get out of the core planets, most folks just make do with older craft or just modify the ta-eh out of it, like Able was want to do.

Looking over to Dark, he says-"You can easily pick up your own chopper/food processor for grinding or cutting hard goods down. I do most of my own cooking cause I never enjoyed the delicate taste of spacer's food. That processed 'glarp' gives me winds enough to collapse the 'fresher' seals.(Navyspeak for toilet)

Back at Langston-"It really isn't so much a matter of just hearing about the ship or reading 'bout her in an old techie manual, its a matter of getting a firm technical grip on her workings enough to make do when a system goes out unexpectedly. There's just something to be said for a double or trip-redundancy system, backup processors and such, specially when pirates or Reavers stop in to say hello. I've learned, the hard way, to devise a sneaky way to jettison or drop contraband,then recollect it when the area is clear. It's a relatively untraceable method. " Able grins like an oppossum.

"Of course, I guess we won't be carrying much in the way of illegal goods if we stay away from the Core Worlds. The laws are a bit lighter further out. Lot's of money to be made for an entreprenuer that can get a hold of crop suppliments, basic firearms and a rare powered weapon for the occassional Rancher Lord or King pin. Just make sure not to give 'em much in the way of ammo...'Snicker'.

Looking at both new companions, he takes off his shades and seems very honest and transparent. "Since we have not worked together before, I wanted to make some things abundantly clear. I will do my job excellently, always. You will find life much easier with me aboard. I do not have many hang ups but I do have a streak of boldness to match my calm personality. I have never been bound by law and would like to keep it that way. My friends and shipmates are my family as long as they never threaten me an mine. I have been known to be all manner of unpleasant if forced to deal with bullies or folk that show no restraint with the women folk or children...or even the oldies. Dear mom had a hand in the etiquette training and my dad taught me my stylish skill in 'Pistol-whippin'. Don't mind following orders but I won't play the fool. If we have women folk in our crew they will be under my protection and if they are ladies..they will be respected. If you feel the need to borrow any of my gear, return it cleaned and in it's place. The stuff cost alot and I don't want to keep it locked up. Last year I bought complete sets of the latest toolkits-electronic, mechanical and communication. They were designed ergonomically and with spacesaving in mind. Don't mean to be a fuss but if ya don't have the skills, leave it be! Last two things might be worth mentioning...
I go armed almost everywhere we will have a hankerin to go..although it may not always be obvious. Even onboard the ship, I prefer to carry my stunner or at least a plastic projectile fletchette pistol, so as not to harm 'OUR LADY". Lastly-I have no skill or patience with livestock, common crafts or what passes for women's work out on the Rim. My forte is the realm of modern science with a lot of practicality tossed in for emphasis. That about covers it."

*As you converse about the ship, a list of potential crewmembers slow-scrawls across the link to Able's microcomp. Most tend to be Cortex marked, either as ex-military (either side from the Unification War) or with criminal backgrouds. Given the closeness of mark dates, it would seem that the Alliance has cracked down on keeping tabs since the Miranda Broadcast.*

*Soon, the waitress is back with the orders. As she is placing the last plate on the table, the man who reached for her earlier is suddenly behind her. From the sudden straightening of her posture and the fear on her face, it would not be unreasonable to believe he has a weapon of some sort at her back. He leans in close; you can just hear what he says.*

"You know, you should never draw a wea..."

*His voice drops off as a the sound of a handgun's hammer being cocked is heard from behind him. By now, the tavern has grown silent, and all eyes are on the scene by your table. A voice, barely containing a rage towards the man you can see, can be heard from behind him as well.*

"And you should never draw on a woman. Drop it."

*The sound of a large knife falling to the wooden floor can be heard in the now silent room. The sound of the man falling atop his weapon can be heard, thanks to the less-than-gentle application of a revolver butt to the back of his brainpan. The following man holsters his revolver.*

The man

*The waitress looks in awe of the man, who turns to her and tips his hat to her.*

"You are welcome. Now, if I might have a coffee and some house steak..."

*She blinks and then shakes her head. Soon, she is hurrying back to the kitchen. As she does, the man turns to the three of you and offers his hand.*
