Re: Chapter 01: New Beginnings
J'Renn parted ways with Alexis, citing a need to not get too involved with local politics. Much like Joe she also has a need for the local currency. She returns to her ship, having her matter replicator whip up a few pounds of platinum ingots, a base metal that seems to have some value to the local populace. Not only has she learned that, she learned a nod means 'yes', and shaking one's head is 'no', also, if you point at an object, odds are, someone is going to hand it to you. She decided the only way she'll be able to understand the locals is to dig in deeper into thier minds and read what they are thinking.
Leaving her ship she heads into town, perusing the local vendors. Unfortunately life isn't like an RPG, a fruit vendor dosen't have the capitol to buy a bag full of platinum, nor do they purchase bags filled with monster eyeballs. While she shops to sell, she feels the unease of the locals because of the planetary blockade. She ponders briefly of using her vessel to force her way past it, she dosen't doubt her chances of sucess, just that she'd make an enemy of the local athorities, an unneeded distraction.
This brings her to 'Ye olde seedy tavern'. She enters making her way over to the barkeep without a word, and sets down the bag of ingots before the bartender, looking at him expectantly...
