I do have a very good medical officer. I think we have a good sensor array for surveying and about as much survival gear as you can squeeze into a Crockett.

"Heh, guess you are only going on small trips then. Well, perhaps I will see you later, but not if you are going for a Green badge in that thing."

Don't expect to be getting any badges ... but the availability of Kark Marx's to go exploring in was nil.... Cyril smiles and rises to return to his original location, while seeing how Kat is doing....

In reply to Cyril Zotmund (msg # 681):

He smiles and goes back to his drink, wishing you good luck.

Kat picks out a pool stick. "I am sure you would. But what competition would I be with all the woman on this world. So are you all scouts or what?"

In reply to Katherine 'Kat' Steele (msg # 683):

"Nah, we are farm workers. We just come in here to get out of the suits and chill out for a while. Not silly enough to go out and try to be heroes. So, if you heading out, want some fun before you go, in case you don't come back?"

He moves to put his hand on your behind.

Cyril turns and faces the table, but makes no other move until he sees Kat's reaction.  [assuming I am around 10 feet away].

Kat glares at the man who puts his hand on her "Take that off, I don't like people who are impolite. I just had to deal with Vilani and not in a pleasant way"

In reply to Katherine 'Kat' Steele (msg # 686):

The young lad, maybe 20, seems a little arrogant. He hesitates, before good sense gets the better of him and he withdraws his hand. Sort of.

"Heh, Miss, you don't know what you are missing."

Then curiosity takes over.

"So, tell me about the Vilani. I heard they were as boring in bed as a plank..."

Kat just grins as she looks at the boy "I wouldn't know about that, I just killed them, not bedded them. "

In reply to Katherine 'Kat' Steele (msg # 688):

"Oh. Does that have anything to do with this war everyone is talking about? You didn't start it, did you?"

"Of course not. But we got trapped in their space and had to fight our way out. They are seizing any Terran ships." she says to the boys.

In reply to Katherine 'Kat' Steele (msg # 690):

"Oh, hell. There goes my new car I ordered from Terra..."

But another pipes up in disbelief.

"Bullshit. I might have believed you if you said you snuck past them, but fought your way through the fleet at Saris? You would need a battle fleet for that, with a Dreadnought or two!"

Cyril sits back down and smiles... she had opened a can of worms and he wasn't going to get involved if he could avoid it...

"I didn't say we took on a fleet but we did battle Vilani. But I guess you all are too boring here to care and probably don't hear much." she was having fun with the guys, she wondered if they would brag or something.

In reply to Katherine 'Kat' Steele (msg # 693):

"Eh, we hear plenty, but we are not dumb enough to go off to find people who want to kill us. There are enough ships and people that dissapear without having to go hunt for them or pick fights. If you were fighting Vilani, no wonder you are heading off exploring!"

"Yes, at least we know there is nothing gunning for us at this point."

In reply to Katherine 'Kat' Steele (msg # 695):

"Yeah? You know that how?"

"Well, I figure so but you never know when scouting. That is the fun part of it" she says with a grin.

In reply to Katherine 'Kat' Steele (msg # 697):

"Yeahc that is why we don't. Game of snooker? $100 bucks to play, winner takes all."

[Snooker is an average skill, defaulting to DX-5. Opposed roll to see who wins.]

Kat smiles "I am not familiar with it, have fun" she goes back to the others to see if they learned anything.

No, not really... well maybe one thing... I had always figured I'd be dead if I put my hand where he did...  smiles.

In reply to Cyril Zotmund (msg # 700):

Tanya, who had taken a detour as she left the ship to the charts office, comes in and sits with you.

"I have managed to get the latest charts of tje region, but there are still plenty of holes and uncertainty about them. Do we know what ships are charting the area?"

Wasn't aware anyone else was out there charting...

In reply to Cyril Zotmund (msg # 702):

"Apart from the Jaques Cartier who we escorted here and the Explorer that is Captained by a Kalishnikov relative, there may not be any currently charting. I seems no ome is actually surveying these systems."
