Tokheletoi inclined her head to Takheal in acknowledgement and then turned to Thazar; "We accept your offer." After an awkward handshake the trio returned to the lounge. "We have agreed to buy one share of her ownership of this ship," Tokheletoi announced. "Thazar has agreed. Now, how do you arrange management of the ship captain," she addressed Blackjack. "Um..." Blackjack looks up from the table and says sardonically, "I'm the majority owner, when things come up we vote, however I vote, that's what the ship does." "I'll listen, though, and if you have good ideas, then I'll vote your way." Blackjack adds, "That cool with you?"

OOC: I'll let y'all figure out who is sharing staterooms with whom. Blackjack's suit and those of the passengers don't change, but you can refigure the others for crew. Go to the Clear Sails thread in the Library for deckplans and descriptions and such.
You don't have any cargo space of your own...it's all taken by the charter. Once you start dropping the factors and their cargo on the worlds ahead of you you'll have cargo space in case you want to carry any or do spec trade.
You *DO* have 9 low berths you can fill if you want to do so. Is anyone going to go looking for folks seeking Low Passage to ShiraLea?

"I'll listen, though, and if you have good ideas, then I'll vote your way." Blackjack adds, "That cool with you?" Tokheletoi regarded Blackjack with a fixed stare for a while as she considered what he said. "The majority shareholder controls the corporation; that is standard. Your willingness to consider the minority shareholders is appreciated." She completed the negotiations without further consultation with Takheal as such things were of no interest to him and frankly none of his business. "I have some skill in working to establish cargoes and such. Do you have a full hold and passengers or space for speculative purchases?" OOC: With Broker-2 she is well suited to find low passengers.

"I have some skill in working to establish cargoes and such. Do you have a full hold and passengers or space for speculative purchases?" OOC: With Broker-2 she is well suited to find low passengers. "The cargo hold is filled with the Charter's material. As it starts getting unloaded over the next few systems there will be more and more space available for cargo of your own. The passenger cabins are also all full...again until they start leaving the ship one by one as the ship moves toward the Mantan system." says Blackjack He continues, "FYI, the charter we've taken on is to transport employees and "Base Modules" of a trading company to each system along the way, finally dropping off the Head Factor and her "Base Module" on Mantan itself. That will end the Charter." "As for as the frozen folks, no we don't have any in the low berths. "he says to Tokheletoi, "Do you think you can find 9 people here that want to travel to one of the systems we're heading for in the next few hours? If you can do it!"

Without looking up from his cards, Peng offers laconically, "Jus' make sure they're all froze 'fore they come aboard. That Leroy fella might hold a grudge."Blackjack laughs, "Why should Leroy be holding a grudge? Not because I won a big chunk of credits off him surely! He'll use me winning as proof that he runs a clean game and make it back in no time. That's what I'd do, anyway." "Ha'penny you've got to learn that professional gamblers like Leroy expect to win some and lose some. It's part of the trade they are in. They also know that in the long run the house always wins more than it loses...even with fair tables. They only get mad if a punter cheats, and I never try to cheat the house." Blackjack chuckles, "It's cheaters that they make examples of or who just disappear. If Leroy had anything to do with that attack on us word would get around and nobody...and I mean nobody...would visit his place again." "Nothing and no one can shut down a big fish like Leroy. He never bets the house, so he always has his capital to work with. The Law comes after him, he just 'takes a vacation' until the 'do-gooders' get tired and once his friends tell him it's safe he opens back up. If the pickings start getting slim, he just up's stakes and moves on to the next world." Blackjack says in a serious tone, "You know, one day soon, I might just ditch all the hassle of running this ship and open up my own casino somewhere or other."

Peng grunts and mutters, "Somebody came at us pretty darn hard and real darn quick. Seems a stretch to believe he weren't connected."
Then he shrugs and adds in a louder voice, "Still a good idea to bring 'em aboard already froze. Can't hijack us if they're never awake."

"Are there procedures in place to deal with intruders?"[/quote] Tokheletoi lashed her tail in agreement with Takheal's mention of security. It was right and proper that the males handle such things. She would certainly conform her own efforts to match. "I am somewhat familiar with your human trading systems and have a good deal of experience. I will see what I can manage in a few hours. Do we have medical personnel on hand to oversee freezing and thawing? I believe that human regulations as well as prudence would dictate such. It would not do to be sued by the family or associates for a botched revivification."

OOC: Captain Raven takes note of this and resolves to try to get in position to substantially increase her share of the ship and further to have some talks with Blackjack during the jumps.

Peng glances rather wistfully at the two departing human females . . . but makes sure that it's a SHORT glance.

He steps out and makes his way back to their room to collect his duffel bag and her rolling case.

Raven shows Emiya to their quarters and helps her acclimate to where things are throughout the ship. She mentions to her that most of them are studying to improve or add skills during jumps and that will be available to her too, should she wish to do so. Also checks to see if Emiya has any questions.
After that, Raven goes to find Blackjack to discuss departure.

[OOC: Peng served in the Imperial Navy [ I *think* ], so he's probably encountered Aslan before.] OOG: Here are a few tidbits about Aslan:
Aslan of both sexes, but especially males, are fierce warriors.
They are very territorial, proud and touchy but very honorable.
They are organized in clans with males as the leaders and females running much of the businesses.
They control a large empire to Rimward that is ruled by a council.

[OOG: I've got all of the "canon" material on Aslans which is why I was asking about whether the ship's computer had access to the Imperial Library because that's where all of that data should reside. :-) Being a former Scout, Gil would take advantage of his past experience in researching new cultures and their customs so that he can minimize cultural gaffes. Plus, it's just good business. ;-) However, thanks for the information! :-D ]

There's no space for cargo until your Patron begins to off load theirs over the next few systems. Was someone going to "advertise" for Low Berth passengers, you have 9 open coffins you could rent out? Once we handle that we'll be ready to lift for the next system.
