Shawn spends the entire morning digging into all the data sources on
Sequi and comes up with nine possible cargos...

Lot 1:  Barium (190 dtons) 2,660,000 marks  **
Lot 2:  Fiberglass (220 dtons)  123,200 marks *
Lot 3:  Uranium (6 dtons) 58,800,000 marks  ****
Lot 4:  Coffee (50 dtons) 2, 240,000 marks  ***
Lot 5:  Hemp Rope (70 dtons) 10,780 marks
Lot 6:  Fiberglass (120 dtons) 67,200 marks *
Lot 7:  Coal (145 dtons) 42,630 marks **
Lot 8:  Coffee (10 dtons) 448,000 marks  ***
Lot 9:  Tobacco (78 dtons) 245,700  ***

Shawn is confident that these are the best prices he can get for these
potential cargos.  He has placed stars next to the cargos he thinks
will sell best on Mark. The more stars the better a prospect he thinks
it is. None of the producers are especially interested in breaking up
lots, but might if he is willing to pay a premium.

Terry, I'm away from my archives too, but if my memory doesn't fail me, 
you have 190 dtons of space left and told Ricardo you'd invest up to 1.2 
million marks.

Shawn will go with the above.

That leaves 102 DTons and will cost the ship 693,700 marks.

Did that include anything from that sort of seemly shady broker? Has all 
the hauling cargo been looked over?

No, I didn't include anything from Lucky Import/Export. Do you want to
revisit them?  Doesn't have to be in person, a phone conversation will

Yes, it has. Everything else is tied up with regular liners.

The man you talk to is less friendly than when you talked to him just
a couple of days ago.  You get the impression he's not happy you
decided to sell the kilimycne to a Vargr pack, instead of selling to
him...even though his offer wasn't nearly as good.  He does have a 20
ton lot of tobacco and a 5 ton lot of bardelu that he wants shipped to
Mark and will pay you 500 marks a ton to make the delivery.  You
haven't heard of bardelu before.

Somehow he already knew...must be an active "grapevine" among brokers
here on Sequi.

500 marks per dton is a fair offer for a Jump 1 shipment.

"If you will ship the papers over, I will get the signed ones back to
you."

Shawn intends to be sure that his papers are in order and look up what
bardelu is. He also intends to give the stuff his own personal customs
inspection before allowing them on the ship. He wants no smuggling
taking place here. 

OOC: Say, can I request a Mark customs agent to approve a cargo before
jump?

A quick check on the net turns up bardelu.  It's a natural fertilizer
made from dried bird waste...the local version of guano.  It seems to
be highly sought after by organic
gardeners.
 
>OOC:  Say, can I request a Mark customs agent to approve a

Sure!  Put in a request with the Port Captain and one will come by and
inspect the cargo prior to shipment, seal and stamp the shipping
containers, and even give you a
certificate to present on the other end of the jump.

Cargo tomorrow and inspection the day after. 

Shawn will catch up with Ricardo.

"Ricardo, I have gotten the best setup I can."

He passed on the details.

"So, I am worn down. Do I have permission to take some time off? 
Someone can sign for the cargo tomorrow and I could be back for 
the customs agent. I was thinking I might get away from the city

Ricardo nods "Go, go. I'll deal with the customs folks.

"As for getting away, damn, I don't know...I flew over 3-quarters of the 
freakin' planet, and have set foot on the ground here, at the naval 
base, for about a half hour at a little cowtown near the Lika pack's 
ranch, and the parking lot of a mining exploration outfit down south." 
He shakes his head, then brightens. "Ukanav is around somewhere...might

Sequi is the right place for it.   There are large herds of cattle
and bion on the ranches of the northern continent. In fact, Woof's
Lika clan specializes in them. Oh, and speaking of wine, there is a
case of quality wine that you caged as part of the price for shipping
a cargo...if you remember.

Indeed, I did remember. 

Shawn will pull forth a bottle and whip up the fancy meal for everyone.

OOC: Everyone, I've been ultra-busy at work and sick as a dog to 
boot. I even broke down and went to the doctor today and he put 
me on antibiotics..and other stuff that I was much to fuzzy 
headed to understand.  IAC, I'm striving to keep up, but while 
I'm trying feel free to play among yourselves...oh, I see you 
have.  I must be getting better, I made a joke. 

Shawn's fancy meal will be the evening meal. Mira, Bettik, Cory 
and Zeek will be back from the park before then, so everyone, 
except Woof and Jez, will be there.

OOC: That might be a good time to put the discussion you're 
having IC.

It takes you a couple of hours calling around to get the information,
but eventually you do. The 8 passengers are a pair of coaches and 6
players on their way to a futball tourneyment. You are familar with
several football varients, and this one is a 5 man rugby style.

OOC> Rugby, eh? Well we won't starve if we crash...

Did I actually ask or only think about asking: Do we have a current 
'occupancy' map for the Mae Lee? As in who's in which stateroom, etc? I 
need to know.

What do we have free on Deck 1? I'm presuming all on deck 2 are reserved 
for passengers.

I know the large suite, formerly the Captains's suite has been turned 
into office/conference space. Can it be made up for our high passenger?

I believe I have either cabin 1 or 2; I do remember I took a small 
cabin. The other 3 large cabins on deck 1 are taken by crew, iirc.

I need to know where people are:

Shawn
Mira
Jac
Kelly
Cory
Arvitis
Anspor
Woof
Jezebel
Ukanav
Zeke
Ricardo (either D1-1 or D1-2, iirc)

By this count we have 2 large-ish cabins on Deck-1 plus all the smaller 
ones there b1-b5

4 large cabins A-D on Deck 2 and three small e-g

We have one high passage, 11 business class (8 footballers plus the two 
doctors and Marta)

So we have 24 people to stick in 27 cabins...we may not need double 
occupancy after all, it would seem...:-/

I must have miscounted before or (more likely) missed those 5 cabins on 
the starboard side of Deck 1.

We went through this a long time ago. I'm sure one of my computers 
somewhere has the archives of it and maybe even yahoo-groups. It'd take a 
lot of digging, though, so I think we should just sort of start over with 
everyone reporting where they think they are bunked and working from there.

Right.

NO!!!  You don't compromise security by putting passengers on the crew 
deck.  The possible exception is those in sickbay and those visiting those 
in sickbay and those should probably be monitored.

Come to think of it, sickbay probably should have been on the passenger 
deck and the lab up on the crew deck.  Never thought about it before.

If you do make an exception, be certain its an exception and figure out 
what you're going to do security-wise to counter the incursion into 'our' 
territory. The layout is not such that you could make any of the sleeping 
areas securely sectioned off (later modifications, you understand) because 
the lift is so centrally located. Plus, if you did do that, you'd then 
either have to route them down to dine with the other passengers or worry 
about having to have two separate sittings for meals, each out of a 
different galley.

I'm in #4 right across from sick bay. If I recall correctly, Mira was 
prepared to do battle for that stateroom even though I think she was 
offered one of those larger ones 

I think Cory had either #5 or #6. I think it was #6 because of some sort of 
noise he might make with a musical instrument, but I'm not certain of that.

Then the problem arises that we have way too many cabins on the 'crew' 
deck, and too few on the 'passenger' deck. We have enough cabins that we 
can run warship crewing levels, and there's no prospect of having that 
many people on board.

(and we're screwed anyway, this trip. But we can put Marta and the two 
doctors on our deck this trip with little risk, I suspect, and I doubt a 
powerful industrialist is going to hijack the Mae Lee.)

I'm mostly thinking of the five cabins marked b1-5 on Deck 1...the 
remaining cabins in the middle belong to Martan and Sarge if/when we 
reconnect with them. For that matter, they may already have claimed 
cabins...we did find the ship quite a whiles before they left on the 
Satago.

If we're not carrying passengers there, those should be turned into 
storerooms or something.

Yep...this is not how I'd have laid out the ship.

That said, Eris, just how modular IS this stuff...I never thought about 
this before, but what if we want to rearrange things on the ship.

Lock the doors to the bridge and weapons control rooms. Lock our 
staterooms. We can probably alarm those so if someone opens them we know 
about it.

Don't worry about it.  Next time the ship gets stolen and recovered, maybe
the nice patrol can arrange to open some new areas for us...

Woof is in #2.  I forwarded the assignments.

b1-b5 aren't cabins, Bruce. If you note, they have dividers between them, 
but that passage in front of them is an open passage, no doors, it they are 
lucky there might be a curtain. And they don't have freshers, they share 
the one at the end next to b5.

As for modular, how do you do modular with plumbing involved?
