OOC: I don't have a problem with the 5% "finders fee" that
was mentioned, if that's what you want to do. That would
work out to 28,000 marks to Woof...but, you need to tell me
so I can transfer it from your account to his.

Because you were still "in system", more or less, you were
paid by bank transfer to the Royal Mechantile on Mark.
Typically, you'll get your pay in a bank draft, or local
currency. You'll want to convert it to a widely used form of
currency...like CSA Credits, Mark Marks, Montrose Pounds, or
even Zeristu Francs, or deposit the draft into one of your
banks.
You'll notice, I'm sure, that you didn't fill up your cargo
bays, but that's not going to hurt you too much.
You are going to have some expenses once you are to Mark,
berthing, repairs, and salaries will be due as well.
