The /Blue Rain/ lands on Serbia about an hour ahead of the /Mae Lee/ however, the larger ship approaches the planet with out incident. Ricardo, Lysia, Cory and Arvitis are on the bridge. Ukanav is back in engineering. Woof has joined Mira, Jac and Lessa in Sickbay. Arvitis projects the image of Serbia on the screens of the consoles around the ship. And sends out a comm, "Take a look everyone." Serbia is a ball of greens, browns and blues. There are few lights on the dark side, and only a few communication satellites in orbit around the planet. There is a map with the picture showing the Starport, in the northern hemisphere, and it will be for another four ,or so, hours. The final approach and landing should only take a couple of hours, so you'll have a little time before dark after you land. Permission to land is given from the Port tower and the large ship glides down through the thick atmosphere. Ricardo bleeds off velocity and makes a long slow descent that doesn't tax the hull or any of the ship's systems. The descent takes the ship over the southern landmass the the equatorial ocean and then over wide farm lands with only small villages and isolated farm houses. Finally, you see a larger town, and the distinctive tower of a landing field. This is the Starport...or what passes for one on Serbia. The landing is smooth on the flat tarmac. After directions are given, Ricardo taxis the ship over to a grassy field near the tarmac and parks the ship. You all note that all of the small Port's berths are occupied. The Blue Rain is in one, a 200 tonner is in another, and a larger one, probably 400 tons is in the third. The ship you were following is the 200 ton ship. The sensors show the gravity outside is 1.12 g, the atmosphere is 1.3 sap and the temperature is 18 degrees C. You receive a message from the Port Captain saying he will be coming over to greet and inspect your papers in about 20 minutes and there are also 2 brokers already at the port waiting to talk to you about your cargo.

He approaches slowly, and puts his hand into the mixture, looking to pet one of them. He has a smile on his face. >Arvitis projects the image of Serbia on the screens of the consoles >around the ship.

Woof gets a through sniff with wet noses, and the orange one starts rubbing the sides of its face against Woof's hand and making a purring sound deep in its throat. >>Arvitis projects the image of Serbia on the screens of the consoles >>around the ship.

I thought they were full... OOC: You have cargo to deliver to Serbia that will free up a lot of space in the cargo hold. You also have some speculative cargo that Shawn purchased. Shawn dealt with all of that while Woof was busy with Lessa, did he bring Woof up to speed on any of it?Eris AKU GM

Shawn did bring him up to speed during jump. 20 dtons of computer parts. 19 belong to the ship and 1 belongs to Shawn. Purchased at 120k Marks per dton. Shawn

Purchased at 120k Marks per dton. OOC: Sorry, Terry. Once you took on the meat, your cargo room went down too low to buy the entire 20 dtons, so I filled up the hold with as much as you could carry...7 dtons: 1 for Shawn and 6 for the ship. Don't worry, you'll still make a nice profit, you hope, on your spec cargo...oops! Shawn isn't brokering for the /Mae Lee/ at the moment is he? Eris AKU GM
Oh, and you should also know that Jac pulled a lot of money out of the Royal Merchantile Bank account for you to take along with you. He figured you'd need cash more than money in a bank out where you're going. You have 520,000 cr in the ship's safe. But don't worry, you still over a million still in bank accounts. Eris

And we'll have to see if Ricardo finds his old crewmate. Shawn

"Well, we'll get 'em on the horn, Captain. Thanks and we'll see you in a few." Ricardo says. He announces to the crew. "Ok everyone, we got 15 minutes to figure out what to do with those critters we picked up. I don't think they're going to fine tooth the ship but we should be prepared with a story nonetheless." "Mira. what did we do with the body?" "Cory, start getting your burglar alarm sensor grid set up. I hope those kidnappers aren't going to try something here in port, but I wouldn't put it past them either." "I'll defer to the security officer on the watch schedule. " He looks at Lysia, "Low key, we can't LOOK like we're on high alert." He shakes his head. " And we're short handed, too!" He comms the brokers. "Howdy! The Port Cap says you want to talk to me..." -- "Wherever you go, there you are." - B. Banzai, Ph.D. Bruce Johnson

Lessa replies, a bit of heat in her voice, "If you don't want them, then, just say they are mine." > "Mira. what did we do with the body?" > > "Cory, start getting your burglar alarm sensor > grid set up.

The Port Cap says > you want to talk to me..." "Greetings, Captain." you get a video feed showing a man and a woman. Both seem happy to see you. The woman is speaking for the pair, "Captain Mitwell is correct." she smiles. "I am Joyce Ellis and this fellow is Link Orion, and we're the brokers here on Serbia." She says. "You don't happen to have a cargo aboard from Rosco Ollis for me, do you?" the man leans forward and asks. "I was expecting it this week, but it wasn't aboard the free trader that landed yesterday.", he adds with a touch of a frown crossing his features, "Unpleasant bunch that was, too." The woman, Joyce, jumps in, "We both have freight that needs to be transported, both toward Mark and toward Montrose, so if you're looking to fill your hold, then we're the ones to talk to." The man, Link, adds smiling, "And we *both* want to talk to you about any cargo you have aboard you might be interested in selling." Eris AKU GM
