Posted by Commander Bryson Erin (XO) in Main Sim - Alien Star Base, Team A Posted by… suppressed (8) by the Post Ghost! 👻 (snip) : : : : : : Bryson looked from person to person to see if he was able to find someone that was trustworthy of approaching. Someone had to know how to enter the Vaadwaur underspace, but he didn’t want to compromise the team unless absolutely necessary. : : : : : : : : : : : : Erin (XO) : : : : : : : : : : OOC: Bump : : : : : : : : Given the circumstances of how alert the market was, it was difficult to discern any trustworthiness. They all looked friendly enough. And judging on previous reactions, it wasn’t entirely certain if anyone knew the information they were looking for… : : : : : : : : One vendor among them stood out from the rest. He had no particular items laid out, yet he was accepting plenty of goods as payment. : : : : : : : : GM : : : : : : Ahearn looked at the vendor. He reminded the Orion of an inmate he had known. He was the one the other prisoners went to for contraband, drugs… weapons… anything illicit. He commanded a lot of respect. Ahearn tapped K’Mar with his elbow and indicated the vendor with a slight nod of his head. : : : : : : Ahearn, CSO : : : : Bryson noticed the Science Chief’s gaze towards the vendor and looked over at him. Odd..... The XO thought to himself. “Now that’s a person of interest....” The Commander whispered to the other officers. : : : : Erin (XO) : : OOC: K’Mar is in the other group. : IC: : “Want me to gauge the interest?” Ayla said, continuing to adopt an overly confident demeanour. The empath had the training to assess a person and with the others there she had back up, so it made sense to her. : : Lt. Sharise, CNS OOC: I’m going to reply once the change occurs :) -Ray

The XO nodded at the Counselor. “Anything would be useful at this moment.” Bryson said. No one seemed particularly interested in them at the moment, so they would have to approach people first.

With a nod, Sharise took a breath and smiled. “Here we go,” she said, shifting deeper into the persona she had adopted.

Ayla wandered off and approached the one vendor. Well, meandered over would be the better way to describe it as she moved her body gracefully intended to every ounce of charm she had. “We have things to sell and you seem open to buying. Perhaps we can come to some sort of agreement?” she said with a smile that was open and yet said don’t waste my time. She wasn’t a pushover, after all.

Lt. Sharise, CNS

Commander Erin remained a few steps behind the Counselor, but was close enough to hear Ayla’s conversation with the merchant. His focus was to watch for any suspicious activity around the pair. The chance of them raising some ‘alarms’ was now higher since they were now interacting with the locals.

“That depends on what you are offering,” said the merchant politely, “And that I’ve never seen you on the station before. Most people who come and go are regulars… Outsiders are rare… Very rare… If they aren’t shot on sight first.”

GM

She grinned at him, her eyes gazing deeply. “Well then, I guess I feel special, since you haven’t shot me yet, but warning fairly taken.” Ayla made a show of looking around the station and then back at the merchant. “But we are simply traders and stumbled upon this place. It seemed ideal for some trade and to restock some supplies. Was that a bad idea? People did seem a little jumpy a few minutes ago.”

Lt. Sharise, CNS

Bryson continued to keep his distance. He felt as if his presence could diminish the trust Ayla was beginning to build with the merchant. It did feel as if this conversation could turn sour, however.

“New ships arriving always make people jumpy. This kind of place that if you got to bolt in a hurry, you do so immediately or risk your own life. If you want to know more than that, it’s going to cost you,” said the merchant, “Pretty eyes will only work so much, but I am still a businessman at the end of the day.”

=^=Boudreaux to Erin.=^=

We ‘ave developed an issue wit’ de “airlock”. You have 15 minutes to get back to de ship. No more!=^=

“Oh noo.....” Bryson whispered to himself as he watched the conversation unfold between the CNS and the merchant.

=^=Captain, we’re actually getting somewhere with one of the merchants, but I think we can quicken the pace.=^=

The Commander was hoping the Counselor would sense a change in his mood. If only she could read thoughts…
