[AUDIO] [Full Ship Broadcast, Above and Below.]

[tallasaking]

Hold on - I just need - okay so ... so I think they've gotten to the towers.

[Tyrion's voice came in clearer, as he moved towards the communicator.]

Right - no picture - but who wants to look at my terrible visage anyways - hello? Hello, can you hear me, Planetside? This is Tyrion Lannister of the SS First Breath. I repeat, this is Tyrion Lannister of the SS First Breath. Can you hear me? Is anyone alive down there?

[Let's see if that slippery bastard is a liar, eh?]

Comments

[bryces_pup]

[Yeeeeeeeah. She's not buying it either.]

Should be interesting to see how this unfolds. For now, he's our best chance. Let's just hope he doesn't keep upping the asking price.

[tallasaking]

[See there is a reason why they are friends, Riona.]

Yes I think we should make sure we stay right where we are when it comes to bargaining.

[In other words, try to keep everyone from giving away the proverbial farm please.]

[bryces_pup]

Let's hope he doesn't hone in on the gullible - or desperate - members of the fleet. I want off this blasted rock, but I don't want the fleet taking on something it's not going to be able to handle.

[And having a stranger hitch a ride with them doesn't entirely sit well with Riona. If all goes well, and Zhade's being honest with his offer, she hopes they'll just shove him onto the Iskaulit and let him hang out there until they dump him someplace.]

[tallasaking]

Well I think the rest of us will be able to ...quash the more guilible ones, once we're all together to discuss this. Although once we get more repairs and supplies going, perhaps we ought to open the channels towards that discussion.

[bryces_pup]

That would likely be best, yes. Try to reach some kind of consensus as to how to proceed. The sooner the better; who knows when we'll be able to get in the air? Those weapons did a number on the Blue Fish, and I'm sure it's no different for the others.

[tallasaking]

Well, if you lead the discussion down there, I will lead it down here, and we can get some sort of ... agreement hammered out?

[bryces_pup]

I can attempt to. Perhaps we should wait and see what our friend does next before a discussion arises. I'm curious as to what he's going to do next, as well as what the lovely natives do. By now I'm sure they're starting to realize we're not easy prey.

[tallasaking]

I agree with that. We should look at it from both ends. Know what we're getting into.

[bryces_pup]

"What we're getting into." Maker, I can only guess at that. We're in a hot mess, I know that much.

[tallasaking]

Riona, you have described every day of my life since I was born. Why should a planet filled with cannibals make a difference?

[bryces_pup]

I stand corrected. Though I hope there was far less cannibalism in your life before now.

[tallasaking]

Yes there was. About the same amount of senseless murder but much less cannibalism.

[bryces_pup]

Oh who doesn't have senseless murder in their lives these days? [Uh plenty of people, Riona.] But at least no one got eaten. We have to maintain some standards.
