Can you elaborate on detail of what Lia will communicate to Lexi? Does it include the outcome (ie they got a copy of the memo)? Does it include anything about the Envoy’s odd behaviour? Any other details she will mention?
Oliver
I’d forgotten about the EMP grenade. I will prioritise that in his schedule; I’ll put a suggested schedule together for you to approve.
Question: Is he planning the grenades be one-shots or reusable (one shots will be cheaper, but it’s possible to build a re-usable possibly rechargeable version.)
Oliver’s Room
I think it’s possible that Oliver may emerge in Blue Shift for a snack after his nap, and Lia can follow him back to his cabin at that point, if that works for everyone? If so, feel free to have the conversation below.
Reusable would be better in the long term I think.
That works for me.
“How were you thinking to split this?”
Regarding Lexi: she will mention that she can confirm she saw the memo but not that she has a copy. She will convey all of the Envoy’s odd behaviour and her interactions with him and with Zayaire.
Lia will give Oliver an assessing look.
“I was interested in your thoughts on the same.”
“I was thinking 50/50.”
Her assessing look continues.
“I think that’s generous of you, all things considered.”
“How so?”
“You were the one who got the information we needed from the Envoy.”
“Wouldn’t have gotten the job without you and we wouldn’t have been paid at all.”
She blinks.
“Fair enough. I appreciate the consideration. 50/50 it is.”
She will divvy up the money cards.
“I don’t suppose you figured out how to get the card reader working?”
He will point to a pile of parts on a workbench.
“Not quite yet.”
She laughs.
“Well, whenever you get a moment, it would certainly help with these.”
For clarification, it’s a trivial exercise to convert an unauthorised Money card to an authorised one so the Money on it can be spent, and you don’t need a card reader to do that. However, once a card is authorised it is locked to a person, can only be used by that person, and can’t be unauthorised.
Oliver will run Lia through the activation process by setting his half of the cards to his name using his print, if she isn’t familiar already. “I will get the card reader sorted, hopefully before we reach Captree.”
She smiles.
“Excellent. Thanks Oliver.”
“Any time. Was there anything else you wished to discuss?”
She hesitates.
“I plan on sharing my half with the crew. I won’t mention your half but this is what I would prefer to do with mine. Just so you’re not blindsided.”
He nods. “I figured you might. You’ll understand if I do not do the same.”
“I do.”
She will take her half as she heads for the door.
“Ready for dinner?”
“I am.”
He will join her in heading to the meal room.
