Patrick McMillan realised that as the Counsellor aboard the Rabid Pelican, using his skills as a people person would come in handy when trying to make friends, or possibly even enemies based the kind of people Agent Pikelsimer had warned the crew that they might encounter. Paddy had never really ventured much outside of Federation Space, and hadn’t had much of an opportunity to visit Deep Space Nine in his Starfleet career thus far, so to say he wasn’t sure wasn’t sure what to expect from The Cloud was proving to be a rather large understatement

Wandering around, Paddy came to a large centre square, several traders appeared to be either setting up for the day, or already in the process of selling their wares. Paddy realised there was no time like the present, and approached one of the closest stalls.

-Lieutenant Patrick McMillan: Counsellor-

The stall was selling obviously second-hand tech: burned isolinear chips, shorted power relays, the odd worn and more-than-likely non-functional disruptor. The trader, a Bolian male, smiled at the approach of a potential customer. “Welcome!! Welcome friend to Myzat’s Exotic Wares! Whatever you can think of, I can find. If you don’t see what you need, just ask! I have inventory unlike any on the Cloud!”

Paddy grinned, Showtime he thought, “I’m not sure I’m in the market for technology Mr - Myzat, is it? I’m new to the Cloud. I was looking to begin trading myself, is there anyone in particular I need to speak with?”

-Lieutenant Patrick McMillan: Counsellor-

The Bolian’s eyes narrowed slightly and a grin spread over his face. “Trade, is it? Well well well.. a fellow entrepreneur! My friend, you are speaking to exactly the right person! I have been on the Cloud for over ten standard years now. I know everyone… and they know me! I am happy to assist a newcomer, too! So tell me friend, what is your name? And what sort of ‘trade’ do you bring to the table?”

“I guess you could say my trade is… people,” Paddy said, his grin widening. “I am very good at reading people, the only human that can do it without any form of telepathic power, is that something The Cloud could be interested in?”

-Lieutenant Patrick McMillan: Counsellor-

The Bolian grinned and said “The only hu-” and he cut himself off by laughing. “The only human? My friend my friend my friend… this is The Cloud. NO ONE lasts here unless they can read others.” and they laughed some more. “Oh my… please, whatever you do, do NOT get in a card game here if you think that. You’ll be sold off as chattle in ten minutes.” and they laughed some more.

After a moment, they calmed down and fixed on the man. “Now seriously…” and his eyes narrowed, “… what trade do you have? Tech? Weapons? Drugs? Flesh? Whatever you have, I am interested. But if you were serious about your ability… look over your left shoulder. Two Denoblians and a Ferengi talking to a Anticancer trader. Tell me what yiu see, and what you suggest I do with what you see.”
