"500 thrones huh? Well I guess I'll have to take that, you ARE the best shopkeep here." He fished in his satchel and pulled out a pouch with the thrones in it. And tossed it on the counter, at the same time taking the ivory box and placing it in the satchel. "Alright time to move all this stuff to The Sapphire!" He made his way to the ship with his new treasure trove of food to add to whatever stock pile the ship already had. First things first would be to sort the good from the bad and discard it. Who knew what the galley actually held.
The Pilot stretched a bit. @High_Adept_Zeth "Thanks. I just play for entertainments sake." The Air Caste member replied with a smile. @MetalDog4 "No questions here, ma'am!"
<Captain Vatton> @Uriel1339 "Then follow Mr. Lex to the ship and acquaint yourself with it. We will leave at first light tomorrow."
Herchite started engaging with the Eldar's talk with "Crystal clear Captain..." but he dropped his voice lower, well as low as one can when speaking through a Vox-Amplifier and said "I wouldn't be here if I had not forsaken the ruinous powers. We clear?" He was unimpressed with what the Eldar insinuated, but then again.... it was reasonable given his chequered past.
<Captain Vatton> She chuckled, her new security officer certainly had an attitude. "One can never be too careful Mr. Herchite, I would like to discuss what your plans are for ship security tomorrow afternoon once we are underway."
Herchite allowed himself a brief smile at the Eldar's chuckle before continuing the conversation with "In that case, I will be on my way.... And I will make sure you have the full security plans tomorrow." With that said, he parted ways and headed off to the Sapphire, ready to start his inspection as soon as he arrived.
@MetalDog4 @BadDo9 "A fine idea, soldier. Fetch Gulyas and look for hotspots. Preferably people with experience, I do not want peasants with guns." The newly-appointed commander of boarding and counter-boarding forces nodded in agreement. "One last thing though, Master and Commander", she said, saluting to the human-like xenos. "Do you have a budget to share? Because men don't recruit themselves, and nobody fights for free or faith. And I won't be sending my men to a sure death by trying to defend the Sapphire with only two men." While there was a critical tone to her voice, she attempted to sound more advisory than defiant. "This is not about my pay. This is about... a starting investment. Something to attract people before reputation does, ma'am. My personal funds are simply insufficient."
<Captain Vatton> "I expect nobody to fight for free or for faith. They fight for shares in the loot we gain, simple as that. Their lodgings and food are provided to them, as well as ammunition for their non-specialized weaponry. If they require more than that, offer them what you think they are worth, and I shall worry about the money." Her tone was firm, without hesitation, this was evidently something she had already taken into consideration.
'Eadbolt had been inspecting his workshop for approximately eight seconds before reaching a conclusion. "'OLY ZOG DIS IS SQUIG SHIT! " Place was bloody well empty of anything even remotely useful, a few shelves without anything stored on them, Forge wasn't even working, any metal that had been left behind was a bunch of rust scraps and worst of all there wasn't any pieces sharp or large enough to make even half way decent spiky armor! "Oh ta zog wiff dis naff lot. " Forcibly patching himself into the ships communications system he sent their Captain a message....along with everyone else on board. "OIY KAPTINN KNOIFE EARZ IZ GOIN TZ DO SUM RECRUITIN FER PROPA SPANNA BOYZ AN WOT NOT! GIT US SOME PROPPA EQUIPMENT AN SCRAP AN DAKKA BITS, MAYBE CHOPPA BITZ....BOTH? BOTH! " Of course the Tek-Git was off and along, skedaddling back out onto the planet and its shady little 'village' to start dredging up some helping hands. First stop was the sump pits to find his fellow Greenskins, buncha idjits might not know the glory of Rogork Morkmann but they would be better than just hiring a buncha softies for extra hands. Best part being that with his equipment, size and know-wotz he could probably beat two or three of them into working for him without any pay, course any Ork worth his green could fight too so they could double up as security and workshop hands. Maybe bully a small swarm of grots into helping act as scrap looters and thieves in the future too.
<Captain Alea Vatton> Her vox message came back to just the Ork. "Use some of that Ork ingenuity to get some supplies for you, or steal it for all I care. How exactly do orks get paid? I never see them exchange crowns like the mon-keigh"
