"Ah, hell, Woof, that keeps us here three more days. I'll let you  
know after we've talked to the brokers, they want to send a live  
cargo. Plus it gives the bastards over on the   three more days to cause us mischief, and the PortCap three  
more days to connect dots."

"Lemme talk to the brokers, you talk to those four needing a ride,  
see if they can accelerate their schedule any. Tell 'em we'll  come  
get 'em, so they don't need to come here. Del's refining fuel now,  
we'll be ready to lift in 12 hours."
