I-108-Oliver: Spanial, Karmen’s Cabin (N-Space to Captree Jump Point)
There’s a twitch of Karmen’s lips, which might indicate satisfaction.
“That Jonas fella, he was Captain of a freighter, bit like this one. Takes a big float to run a tramp freighter with speccy cargo; I hit the ship’s cash reserves pretty hard to buy those radioactives sittin’ in the hold, used the profits from the ‘Zargo job to buy the metals I just picked up from here. Captree’s just a cheap rock of a planet though, nothin’ but sand and water, always screamin’ for metals and heavy elements. Bit o’ luck it should turn a nice profit.”
For a fraction of time, the very practical Karmen looks almost whimsical, “Apparently some of the big Trade Bureau freighters run with upwards of twenty million in the safe…”
Only a fraction though, she’s quickly back, “The 250k from Thurston cubed is a nice bonus though.”
“Suppose this is staying with the ship then, not the crew?”
