315-1402 1430 - Egg System - Tala Research Station One
Over the next six hours, the Tala Station group holds a meeting with the Egg System leadership regarding the Gorky facility. Given that responses take up to ten light-minutes to reach their recipients, it's a slow and frustrating process. The Egg natives take it in stride, but the outworlders have to throttle their frustration with the glacial conversational pace. In practice, each respondent gives a brief speech, which the other sides have to digest and then respond with their answers.
By dinner time, the meeting has reached the following resolutions:
1. Wanderer will remain under Brent and Joxe's personal control. The ship is registered in the Egg System, and must abide by the relevant commercial and criminal codes that every other merchant vessel and Egg citizen does. The agreement to not suborn the ship still stands, as well.
2. Brent and Joxe will be paid to transport personnel for Egg. (Brent can specify his terms here, including how many trips he's willing to make.)
3. Trudy will oversee the operation to rotate personnel through Gorky. The government assigns an ambassador and their staff to the shipyard, who will represent the Egg System government.
4. Other ambassadors will be assigned to Execute and any other friendly systems, as needed. Malcolm and the others will transport personnel and supplies to and from Execute using the repaired scouts.
5. (Anything else Brent wishes to bring up.)
