I-019: Spanial, Common Room (Hyperspace to Roseman)
Ipan was observing proceedings in a distracted way before noting what the others were doing and belatedly nodding.
In response to Lia’s answer, Karmen fiddles with her PDA for a bit, then plugs it into the Common area printer and prints off more pay slips, then returns and distributes yet another set of cards, coins and slips.
Lia’s this time is:

Karmen looks around again, gauging the room.
She raises her glass.
“To success and profit, and us!”
The rest of the crew, with the exception of Prrri, raise their glasses.
Prrri looks at Lia, one ear flicking and one flat, hesitantly reaching for a pocket in his coverall.
Meanwhile, Karmen says quietly to Oliver, “You get that Money card reader going and there might be another one of these before we drop you off, where you get to participate better.”
Lia will participate in the toast but her attention is on Prrri.
She will make her way over to him as Karmen speaks to Oliver.
Oliver smiles. “I nearly have it done, should be before Captree I hope.”
