Re: Chapter Zero
Jacqueline eyes the salesman carefully, "So you're willing to take a possible loss of 150 credits? From the looks of it, I doubt it'd fetch half that much, though it's not totally unrepairable or unusable."
Her eyes glitter as she looks around the shop. She senses a deal to be made, and Jacqueline Diamant was never one to walk away from a deal empty-handed. She points out one of the normal stasis pods, "I'll tell you what... I'm in need of one Stasis pod personally, but I could use a spare. I'll buy that standard pod for your asking price, but I'll be generous and also give you 500 credits to take that piece of junk off of your hands. For a damaged piece of equipment, that's more than fair." She wasn't entirely sure why she wanted to buy the cheaper pod, but it might have been either the alcohol starting to take effect, her own desire to make a deal, or a combination of both. Rationally, she knows that this shopkeeper is ripping her off just as much on the 5000 credit pods, if not more, but she presses on.
