OK,
11:38, Today: Sdian McGuire rolled 10 using 3d6 with rolls of 4,4,2.  Forgery.  [Private to GM: By 3]

We are claiming bad fuel, so we had to dump much of it and refuel at a GG... Clogged the filters... we'll have someone out there cleaning the filters too...

In reply to Sdian McGuire (msg # 2):

The new papers check out, as does the excuse. The filter is inside the vessel at the fuel purifier, and it does not take long for the mechanic to make it look very realistic.

You are soon on your way...

OK, so once refueled and with enough for our first jump filtered, we go to Garaniis ... and refuel at a GG.

Sdian will spend time with the kids and the ladies, he's feeling his oats about now.

In reply to Sdian McGuire (msg # 4):

Sorry, but from Ganar, do you mean Kagamira?

The pressure of the smuggling trip over, you find both the mothers and the infants like some daddy time. Most folk relax some, and the time in hyperspace does allow for some more casual socialising as well.

Kagamira is a military base. You may even find some cargo for the route to Vland, but there are patrols at each of the five gas giants that do respectfully insist on inspection of your vessel.

Whoa.. we are way messed up somewhere... let me go back and see what went awry.

We did  jump to Daku and we should be jumping as follows: Ganar ->Anik -> Duam -> Vland.
I have no idea of where these other places got inserted or why.

In reply to Sdian McGuire (msg # 6):

Ah, Post #4 confused me, referring to Garaniis, and I had to try to guess where you meant. Sorry, guessed wrong.

Anik is a heavily industrial planet with only a few million inhabitants. The singe gas giant is readily accessible. Duam, by contrast, has no Gas Giants.

Anik, 21 Mar 2179, supplies 1610/3400 person-days basic food, consuming 90 person-days food per week, or 540 per 6 weeks), Cash: $11,524,998

We remember Duam ... But we'll check out Anik to see if it has anything to transport further along our route ... seems Vland imports a lot.


OOC - I think I substituted Garniir for Ganar ... no clue as to why

In reply to Sdian McGuire (msg # 8):

Ah, I see. Yes, Vland does import a lot. To look, we will have to pay landing fees and try a merchant roll...

Customs will want to do an inspection before landing...but you have nothing to hide.

Assuming the fees are normal and reasonable, we'll land. Customs should not be an issue.



[Private to GM:  20:38, Today: Sdian McGuire rolled 8 using 3d6 with rolls of 1,5,2.  Merchant   By 4 no less]

In reply to Sdian McGuire (msg # 10):

Fees are $5,000 here, and do not increase until day 7. You succeed in making good contacts within the local transport hub, and may make one roll per day for cargo (2d-2) and one roll for passengers (1d-4), minimum of zero, if you wish to stay any more days to collect cargo.

On the first day, you find 7 dTons of freight for Vland, paying $21,000, and a passenger willing to pay $5,000 for a standard berth trip to Vland. Delivery date is 17th Apr 2179.

Sdian works the area, he doesn't find any more passengers, but does find more cargo.


09:48, Today: Sdian McGuire rolled -2 using 1d6-4 with rolls of 2.  Passenger.
09:47, Today: Sdian McGuire rolled 6 using 2d6-2 with rolls of 6,2.  Cargo.

In reply to Sdian McGuire (msg # 12):

At $3,000 per dTon, it all helps. Delivery date for the first batch and passenger is 17th Apr 2179.

13 dTons of Cargo, 1 PAX so far after 2 days looking. Let me know when you have enough and want to head to Vland.

Anik, 23 Mar 2179, supplies 1610/3400 person-days basic food, consuming 90 person-days food per week, or 540 per 6 weeks), Cash: $11,524,998

OK, so that's $39k plus the passengers $5k ... we'll close up and leave... how much was fuel?

In reply to Sdian McGuire (msg # 14):

You are at Anik, where there is a gas giant a few days away...you did not refuel there?

Unrefined Fuel for a single 2 parsec jump for your craft would cost $3200.

I guess we will use the GG ... on the way out  I presume, since we didn't get any (fuel) on the way in.

In reply to Sdian McGuire (msg # 16):

Ok, payments, $39,000+$5,000-$5,000 (Fees). Fees will be the same on Duam, where there is no Gas Giant. But you do notice a massive 10,000 dton Line Freighter departing as you arrive in the system. This is a massive agricultural colony.

Duam, 04 Apr 2179, supplies 1480/3400 person-days basic food, consuming 90 person-days food per week, or 540 per 6 weeks), Cash: $11,543,998

Neat!... can we tell where it is heading? Not that we are going to mess with it...

We will refuel at Duam and then head to Vland.

In reply to Sdian McGuire (msg # 18):

It looks to be headed to Vland.

It will cost $8,200 to land and refuel, and it will not increase for another week. Do you look for more cargo before you go?
