Ok. Three guys get out of the vehicle and approach. They carry rifles, slung but not in their hands. Who is your backup?

They talk as they approach you, until they are about 3 feet in front of you.

"Yeah. Two containers. Before we get the truck over here, we wanted to inspect the goods. Then we pay you as the truck arrives to take them off your hands. That is usual, you good with that?"

Re: A small delivery

Pretty much as we understand it...  shouldn't be an issue, except that you may be reluctant to open them....

Sdian motions for the cargo lift to come down with the two containers.

As the lift lowers, they smirk at the stickers.

"Do you know what they actually are?"

He looks at you closely as one of the men approaches the containers and examines the seals, some put on by the customer.

Not a clue, but no customs official wanted to look inside.

In reply to Sdian McGuire (msg # 979):

The man who went to ispect the container agrees with a nod. In response, the apparent leader pick up his radio and mutters. "All good. Come and collect it."

He turns to you as a pair of small trucks and a forklift truck comes from the treeline and makes their ways towards you.

"These guys will bring your payment, and we will take it from here. Hope your trip was uneventful."

The man at the containers remains there.

"Environmental suits in one, and a bunch of drugs and seeds in the other. Doing some research to try to improve this place instead of just using it as a chemical dump for the system. But research is not allowed...it is evil..."

He scowls, then smiles.

"Like smuggling, I suppose."

Sdian nods Best of luck then...  we'll be going (assume we have money and have checked it to be sure it's what was promised).

In reply to Sdian McGuire (msg # 983):

The truck pulls up, and a man gets out and brings a suitcase over to you. Meanwhile, the forklift moves and picks up the first container, placing it on the first truck. Then they take the second as you finish checking the gold bars in the suitcase. It does appear to be worth the $700,000 solars you were promised.

No Covid here.

He shakes your hand, and wishes you godspeed and the forklift removes the last container and you have finished counting the cash. He then departs, and you are clear to leave, just 30 minutes after you arrived. It seems according to plan...

Re: A small delivery

So far, so good, we stay low and head back closer to the main port before lifting off and heading for a jump point.

Right. You had said you ere heading to Ganiir, and were presumably landing to refuel...the Gas Giant was 16 days away...

Yung points out that jumping to the GG at Daku and jumping to the GG as Ramir will take the same time and same fuel, and get you out of the system. It is also closer to the right direction...

Re: A small delivery

Valid, except we are then stuck in Ganiir until we can scoop fuel and refine it... something that looks safer here, where we can see more of what is going on. Might be perfectly safe, always a chance it isn't.

"So travel for 16 days here, where we are suspicious, rather than jump there? Or jump to the gas giant here?"

Re: A small delivery

Jump to Gas giant here, refuel and then jump to Ganiir when we have sufficient fuel scrubbed.

You jump to the gas and gather fuel. The single Gashiddas on patrol there is suspicious and demands to inspect your cargo hold.

Re: A small delivery

OK Cool ...  Do we have a load of fuel aboard? Guess the page with the two containers needs to go away, we just dropped off a passenger or bought a left handed Whitworth engine part.

Ok. Will open a new thread. Need a forgery roll for new papers. So you are claiming engine problems as the cause of the change of plan?
