The Roads We Take

[ZeroParadox]

Since refueling can take a while Friday goes to the refueling area first. Only after securing the purchase will he partake of the shops and local wildlife.

Riya crept forward onto the catwalk above the coolant area. She didn't have great knowledge of large ship coolant systems, but if the chills creeping up her spine was any indication, they were still functioning. She investigated the area for any signs or maps that would tell her which direction the ships reactors were. She figured if the coolant was here then the power had to be adjacent. Either above, below, or to either side of this current chamber.

Friday

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

You manage to secure a ticket of purchase for your ship which only cost a hundred and twenty five gold. Hardly a set back with what you will make on the sale of your contraband and the weapons. Looking about you see the many shops each of differing ownership and nature. Gunsmith, bladesmith, dry goods, wet goods, fish, armor, whores, dogs, cat, bugs, they seem to have it all here.

You creep through the arctic wasteland of the coolant chamber and find no signs of the reactor area. That is, until you look down. You see pipes leading from the tanks heading to another room right of this chamber. With no visible way to get over there you can brave pressing ahead and hoping for a back door or trying to find some access along one of the two other corridors.

Tik-Tik examined the door to the bunker for traps, then checked again to see if it was locked. This whole mission was feeling way too easy and it was making her paranoid.

[ZeroParadox]

So far Friday is rather unimpressed with the shops, do to kill some time he'll locate a place to get some palatable food to grab a meal and a beer.

You check the area and find no traps present. Moving to the door itself you try to turn or nudge it, but find that your hands are too large to turn it. Zen gives it a try with no luck. "Think Weech could cut through it with a laser or blow torch?" Zen ask noting how old the door was and expecting it to not holdup for long

Friday

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

You find a bar and grill "The Overactive Power Convertor" a strange name, but a crowded place so must be good or the only one there. Inside you see a cramp place made from various rusted plating. The varying color lights liven the place up by illuminating the various hull plates. A rich smell of food hits your nose letting you know the groul here can't be that bad.

[ZeroParadox]

"Nice!", Friday comments out loud as he finds a table to sit at. He'll try to locate a menu to see what's available, hoping they serve something akin to a burger. Yes, a burger, fries and large beer sounds perfect right now.

[TheUnknown]

You find such a combo on the front page of a nearby menu. It's called "The Space Drifter Burger, Fries, and Beer" all for just five gold. The bargains always do seem good out in space so long as you aren't looking for something you just have to have.

[devilbird]

"He doesn't have those kinds of features," Tik-Tik shook her head in response, "I'd never trust him with anything that could cause a fire. If we're fine giving up any element of surprise, the two of us could probably just bash the door down."

With the door as weak and rusted as it was, it probably wouldn't take too much to knock the door down.

[TheUnknown]

"If that's how you want to do it then" Zen says stretching about a bit for the upcoming test of brute force. She waits for you to let her know you're ready for the two of you to tear down this door and be another step closer to the six thousand dollar reward.

Garian looked at the man, glaring at him and then outside towards the mercs "What's the offer? And don't test my patience, even though your men are right there, i'm not afraid to kill you in front of them and then kill those that think they can take me." He warned, glaring down at the old man.

[TheUnknown]

"Son if you wanted to kill me you would have already done it" he says blowing another buff back into the building. "These streets have always have rough. Killing me, killing my men, killing them, it ain't gonna change that. If all you do is kill more will come its the way the game goes, but if you spare me we can make good business together. The person on the other end, they were gonna me and the other heads regardless of if you came. They got plans for this city, this world, the galaxy really, but we could really throw a kink in that plan. So what do you say are we in business?" the old man ask. Just from reading his general body language he seems genuine and sincere in his offer. It could help or could be dead weight it all depended on your choice.

[devilbird]

"One, two, three!" Tik-Tik yelled and the two warrior women rushed the door.

[ZeroParadox]

Friday will order the "Space Drifter Burger" special and will quietly enjoy his meal. So long as no unexpected events occur he'll order another 'to-go' and leave for the shops. It's primarily to kill some time while he waits for the ship to fuel up.

The door gives way to your combined might though the larger dent is from your side. A testament to your physical prowess. Inside you see a circular room in a similar state of disrepair with rust and debris scattered about. At the end of the room is a staircase leading down.

Friday

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

Nothing of relative interest happens and you are able to enjoy your meal in peace among the other patrons. You get your to go order in a small package and are off to the shops. The same array of shops await you for any needed purchases or simple window shopping to kill time.

[ZeroParadox]

Friday will peruse the shops, picking up any necessary items to restock his supplies. He'll also pick up maintenance manuals for his ship if it exists. After having how woefully maintained it was thrown in his face perhaps it would be a good idea to study up on it a little.

[TheUnknown]

You go about securing more dry goods and other necessary items for long space travel. When you search for a Manuel you have little luck finding one. Though you could always ask the ship wiz where the ship was made and make it a point to venture there for a possible manual at some future date.

[ZeroParadox]

With a shrug and a muttered, "It was worth a shot.", Friday will head back to his ship to put the supplies away and find a spot to keep the take out warm. Afterwards he'll wait outside to watch the local wild-life while the refueling continues on his ship.

[TheUnknown]

You secure the supplies in storage and see that your ship is next to be refueled. A short crew of Jatherwe scurry over with the large refueling pipe and move to do the job. You even see one carrying a little step ladder in case the fuel tank access point is too high for them to reach. While they work at refueling your ship you see the locals going about their daily business. From what the ship navi computer said you were only another days flight from Brigantia and Historian central command. The most out of place person is a knight of Estoria in his large blue plated armor. Though other than him nothing else really draws too much attention.

[ZeroParadox]

Upon noticing the knight Friday chooses, possibly wisely, to not engage the man. Someone dressed like that in a place like this is either on some official business or extremely paranoid. Instead he'll watch the Jatherwe and wait patiently for them to finish up.
