I-014: Spanial, Common Room (Hyperspace to Roseman)

Karmen continues, “For sure, that seems a good jump into our next item of business – payCycle.”

“Usually I’d have paid the crew’s regular wages before docking, but this wasn’t at all usual, so everyone’s owed regular back pay as well as any bonus for a special job.”

Karmen eyes Lia, then Oliver, then Lia’s Money card boxes.

To Lia, “Good of you to share the bounty with the crew, one of us for sure…”

To Oliver, “Mer Starr, officially, you’re working your passage so that’s just room and board and travel, and joined after we took the risk we’re about to be paid for.  But, you pitched in when crew needed it and that’s not nothing, an’ frankly a lot more than I expected.  That makes things a bit complicated around remuneration.  Happy to hear your thoughts on what’s fair,” Karmen nods toward the doorway, “an’ in private if you like.”
