8-049: Merchant Freighter Spanial – Common Room
We’ll assume the rapport is going ok.
So it turns out that Lia is the only one who has to get up early for this meeting.
Prrri is awake on his weird alien schedule, Karmen has moved her shifts around, Jennie and Ipan are usually awake at this time anyway, Gregar apparently usually gets up at this time and Kort seems to have been on an odd shift schedule all along.
When everyone is assembled, Karmen opens the meeting.
“Hey, everyone, I just wanted to bring us all together so we’re clear on the plan from here.
“We expect to come out of Jump at the start of Green Shift and we’ll head into the main world the way we usually would. There’ll be a customs inspection and we stick to our story, we’re here to pick up agricultural supplies and the container in the hold is what we use to do it. Kort is our specialist and he’ll handle any technical questions about the container if we get asked; we’re just stupid cargo monkeys who don’t know anything. He won’t be present for the cargo inspection, adding to our ability to delay and obfuscate.”
Karmen looks straight at Lia.
“Lia, are you good to handle that?”
“Distract the inspectors and talk our way in?”
She smiles.
“I can do that…”
