Shawn and Ilane look the cargo over. There isn't a large cargo area (only 10 dtons) and the little ship's hold isn't full, but there are a few crates and cargo containers. You find: 2 dton Herbs (Listed as Powdered Skola. You've never heard of it, but from the listing is some sort of spice. 6,000 base. Buy mod Ag -4. Sell mod Ag -3, In +1, Ri +2.) 1 dton Liquor (Stored in wooden barrels. 10,000 base. Buy mod Ag -4. Sell mod Ag -3, In +1, Ri +2.) 1 dton Metal (Superdense plates. 200,000 base. Buy mod In -3, Ni +5, Ri -2. Sell mod In -3, Ni +4, Ri -1.) After sitting in the hold for 40 plus years, the herbs might not be worth anything, the liquor could go either way, but the metal plating should be just as valuable now as when the former owner bought it.

Shawn scratched his chin. "We will sell the metal and check the others. Open several different cases. The booze might be really smooth or trash. The spice might be beyond use. Let's check." Shawn will tap several of the barrels and see if the booze is still good. Shawn

The liquor tastes smooth, very good in fact. The spice...you don't know what it is supposed to look or taste like, but it looks like dust and has a very nasty (to your palette) taste. Eris AKU GM

Shawn nodded. "We will dump the spice as a loss. The booze is in good shape. Very good." OOC: The cargo has the original dates on the manifest, correct Eris? Shawn

OOC: No. Do I look like someone that can cook?Well, we're not going to just dump it in space now so Shawn will have some time to check out the name and ask more questions. Terry

Shawn called Kelly and April to come give their opinions on the spice and booze. "Can you two come check this out in the hold?" He will offer them some samples. Shawn

April takes a taste of the the liquor first. Then she'll wait awhile, drink some water and then sample the spice. Does she know what the spice is? And how its supposed to taste?

While she is sampling, and Kelly too, Shawn will bring up a concern. "What do we do when we get there? How do we start looking for the girl without raising a lot of flags?" Shawn

No, neither April or Kelly recognize the spice or the taste, but it tastes *bad* to both of you. Eris AKU GM

Kelly sets his sampling cup down with a sigh. "That is good stuff." He looks at April. "That's more April's area of expertise, I think." JR
> April smiles. "Perhaps we need a nice tour of the > starport to begin with." She winks at Kelly. Kelly smiles. "Perhaps. The happy couples take a tour." JR

"I like that idea. We Need to get through all the arrival details and get someone to run what you think we need on the J-drive. After we get things in motion, then we can start. I'll leave it to you to get the engineering stuff in motion. I'll handle the others." Shawn

The cargo is decades old, the ship was in jump and drifting through space for that long. You have a forged manifest, though, showing that you picked this all up on a recent stop.
