8-063: Merchant Freighter Spanial – Docked at Zarg’s Moon Highport

Diplomacy is safer but more difficult, Fast Talk is easier but riskier.

Lia can pre-pressurise the Cargo Hold (it takes a little while and the air is pretty thin – Prrri could not breathe in there without his respirator.)   

Note:  The hold is usually left in vacuum, as the ship’s life support systems aren’t capable of sustaining a habitable environment in that large a space.  However, it can be pressurised on a temporary basis to facilitate loading/unloading to a pressurised dock.  

Three females (I rolled – bad luck!), the Legionnaire standing watch by the door looks to be 16-17 kCy, the one checking documents 8-9 kCY, and the Sub Officer about 13 kCy.  They’re all wearing Operations Black, so all three look reasonably fit and active – no pudgy desk warmers that you sometimes see in Staff Greys. 

It seems to Lia that all three are in good moods, and have so far been respectful to the crew – from Lia’s travels she has observed that Customs work seems to be a magnet for bullies, but so far these three seem decent and professional.     

The young one reaches Lia and asks for her ID tag.
