"As you like," Kelly says to Nadra. "Best keep the Companion reclusive from the ordinary drifters. Maintain an aire of mystery or whatever."
-
"Fascinating," Kane says, and Toki picks up a hint of a condescending tone. "Toki Kasumi, though... that name sounds familiar."
Vash, the Captain doesn't even know where you're headed yet.
-
"Not terribly bad," Phil comments, wandering over to Harmony. "Is it as nice as you're saying it is? Looks... kinda worn down."
"She's even nicer; these cabins are some of the best, make you think you're on a cruise liner. Since she's only a few years old she's as new as they come, compared to most of those floating wrecks of luh suh out there. And, well, yeah, she's gonna look a little worn down: we've been hauling a bunch of gross chemicals around for days. That will make even the most jing chai vessel look a little nasty. But don't worry, we'll clean her out sooner or later." She then reaches out with both hands, "We'll be holding onto your weapons for your stay, but don't worry, they'll be safely stowed away."
"Perhaps I'll just go flaunt myself a bit," Nadra replies. "Keep my distance, of course, but at least show that I am here."
With that, she'll leave the ship, looking over the new passengers and standing a bit back before speaking. "Oh, the Gan Ying is certainly a nice enough ship. I would not travel on anything that was junk, myself."
"We could try to be professional?" smiled Vash looking over at Kenneth and Nadra. "We are after all," he continued. "The crew of the Gan Ying."
It was a young ship, so he knew it wasn't that famous. Just saying it made him feel good. Maybe, some day, the ship will gain a fiercesome reputation. Most of the individuals in the crew itself seemed to have some sort of reputation.
"A companion on such a ship, nice as it is, seems uncommon to me. But if someone of your status is happy with the accomodations, I am sure it will be a far step up from this place and others I have had the pleasure being stuck in" Gabriel addressed Nadra, and with the last part slipped a knowing look to Christopher.
"Well it seems like that concludes our business now. If you'll excuse us, we have some other matters to attend to" (To Kane, Shaftoe will let the others talk to the crew.
"Door goin up."
He hits the button, and then runs off the end, dropping into the dirt of the starport with a thud while the door closes behind him. He waits until the others come out from the hatch and move towards Harlan's location.
Harlan is on Rubicon, Vash. He's in town; the new passengers aren't going.
"If you say so," Kane says to Toki, shrugging. "Nevertheless, I admire your dedication to your crewmates."
Like Gabriel, Phil seems generally pleased with Harmony's explanation of Gan Ying and the classy Nadra's testament to the ship's decency.
"Well, I'd like to climb aboard," Phil says. "Don't care much where I'm going. Do I talk to your Captain about that?"
-
Kelly actually steps in and stops Shaftoe from raising the cargo ramp.
"If everyone could just clear off to the side of the ship, thanks," Kelly shouts to everyone. "Foreman Kane, thanks for your business, hope your chems get put to good use."
"You are quite welcome," Foreman Kane responds. With a gesture, he and his men start to clear out of the dusty field with their purchased cargo. "Happy trails."
"You too." Kelly turns to Shaftoe. "Hey, Samson, remember?"
Gan Ying has two small hovercraft loaders stored inside the cargo bay called Samsons. They are useful for transporting the crew around town when Kelly approves their use, and if you are picking up cargo. They can be mounted with machine guns, but no need now.
"Take one into town. Harlan's got cargo for us, just hasn't told us where it's goin' yet. Hit up the armory, too."
After that, Kelly will step up to see what the incoming passengers are talking about, making sure Kenneth and Harmony stick around to keep talking.
"Oh, hi there Captain!" Harmony practically bubbles her greeting, "I was just telling our guests about the ship! Still haven't got their names yet, or their weapons, but they seem likeable enough!" She gestures from the passengers to the Captain, "This is Captain Kelly- he's the man to talk to about all the fiddly little details of your trip with us, like payment and quarters!" She takes the moment they all use to look at the Captain to give them each a quick glance-over again.
(Another Observation roll since I never got results for the last one >.>😉
Your results are the same as Kenneth's. You quickly identify that Christopher and Gabriel are armed (though with what I cannot say as we have not covered that yet) and young Phillip is not. You recognize that Christopher and Gabriel have reputations that proceed them... but more successes on your roll sees to it that you notice Phillip is nervous.
