Maiokus places his hands on the keyboard and locates the patron menus. He starts to scroll the listings looking for promising trade missions as well as coded clandestine missions.

After about twenty minutes of sorting through different messages and posts you come across a post of a researcher named Allen Crane who, in an ad similar to what one might find in the classified section of a newspaper, states that he is seeking research assistants. However; something about the description leads you to look deeper and follow the "Data trail" which leads you to a hidden link that allows you to download a packet onto your personal data wafer, you are then able to take the information back to your table and access it through a hand computer (Which the characters are assumed to possess). You may also take it back to the ship to access it as well unless you wanted to read the information at the terminal and risk someone seeing it.
The information packet contains contact information for Allen Crane and states that he is looking for a group of highly motivated individuals to travel to the planet Ruie to obtain a much of a particular chemical compound that they can and deliver it to his lab which is located in the Whanga system. The request states that Dr. Crane is willing to pay 2,000cr. Per ton of cargo delivered (Twice the amount of the normal 1,000cr. For frieght) and he is willing to pay 250cr. Per parsec beyond the first traveled (As opposed the the normal 150cr.) Contact Dr. Crane directly for further details.

You begin to barter with Karmina over the price of the unit; make a Persuade roll (Modified by intelligence or Social Standing). The results will determine the final purchase price. You are dealing with a charismatic and fairly intelligent individual which gives you -2DM to the roll.
Out of Character: When you roll in the embedded dice roller do not add any modifiers, just roll 2d6 but show in your post what your dice modifiers are. You will get 1 dice modifier for each point in the skill plus whatever ability modifier you decide to use (Social Standing or Intelligence). If you have Persuade-1 and a +2 Intelligence modifier you would post: +1 Persuade; +2 Intelligence; +3 Total Dice Modifier.

Maiokus places his data wafer back in his jacket pocket and returns to the table.
In Character: : Nice of you to finally join us Krakrefr. I think I found us a job, but would prefer to discuss it on the ship. Why don't you reach out to your guy and see what he might have. It'd be a good idea to explore all options available.
Maiokus extends his hand to the small Vargr.
In Character: : Unless there is anything else anyone wants to discuss, I say we take a couple hours to do any shopping. Meet back on the ship in about two hours? We can hammer out ship upgrades once we get some credits.
Out of Character: : Shuth, you only rolled 1d6 and these rolls require 2d6
Out of Character: : When it comes to shopping to what law-level does the Highport restrict weapons sales etc? Also, being a Highport and subsector capital, are there TL13+ items available?
In Character: : "Sounds good."
Njall finishes his drink, scans the table for other empties, gathers any.
"Think I'll go put together a tool collection. The ship looks like I'll get some practice with them."
Njall takes the empty glasses to the bar on his way out, leaving a few credits with them, and goes in search of engineers tools.
In Character: Silvertongue leans forward from the shadows of the table where they are sitting. "Maiokus, this information you found. Do we need more details? Should I look to apply some extra pressure?"
Out of Character: sorry. Hadn't realized there was activity going on here. Guess I am a few posts shy of being completely here.
