Re: Profit Margin - Rangent/Vilis (0601) Date: 287-1107 11:25
Othati-Fenn stretches and flexes and winces and grumbles as cramps and assorted aches and pains make themselves known, and he follows Shui out through the hold and towards the galley. As they pass through, he gives the group gathered around the crawler a curious look...
In the galley he waits under Tylen's watchful scrutiny while Shui prepares a snack for him, answering questions about preferences and allergies mostly with simple yes and no answers. Suddenly he seems to build up a little nerve, and straightens himself up to ask, "Can you do me a favour? Pass on an apology to the man I grabbed. Tell him I'm sorry, and that it was nothing personal - I needed a hostage, and he was there. It was just... business, I suppose. If not him, it would have been somebody else. But I'm sorry it had to be anybody."
Barrat Haynes looks into the back of the crawler, pocketing the receipt. He tries to move one of the containers, then tries harder, sliding it a few centimetres. After which he gives Yas an appreciative look, "That suit makes you stronger? I've heard of those I think. Wonder how much it would cost to import one for the Triumvirate. But then I suppose it needs special training to use, doesn't it?"
He swings the door closed, then climbs into the cab with a nod to Ash, "Thank you for your help."
Jago calls back to Saskia, "Keep an eye open, we're dropping now." Then he activates the crew channel, "Here we go, people." and as an afterthought, "Brace for impact." and a laugh to follow up.
Profit Margin rolls and tips her nose towards the frozen surface of Rangent as the thrusters come to life...
