Aye, skipper.

We're all set cap'n!

*looks around, realizes that Wash is nowhere to be seen*

Correction: I'm all set!

Dear Wash or Mobbex,

My name is abbeygirl. I have been in contact with your captain regarding the rental of your shuttle.

I am a Games Entrepreneur (aka Gamer)...

Since you are a transport ship, you may find my presence a benefit since a Gamer is allowed access to ports of call that might otherwise be closed to you.

Clarification: A Gamer is someone who hosts high stakes (or not so high - depending on the venue) gambling, such as Poker, Tall Card, etc. Will take shuttle to where gambling is scheduled (think of it as a travelling mini casino). Game will take place in shuttle.

The House is like the Guild, only for Gamers. In gambling, the House always wins right?

Gamers are well respected in the 'verse (or at least in my 'verse).

If anyone has any other questions, please ask.
********************

TRANSMISSION TO THE BOOK:

I was wondering if you had made a decision about my securing your shuttle for rent.

I accept the lease terms you have sent. If it would help move the process along, I would be willing to pay for the first six months rent in advance.

Stipulations:

1) I need complete autonomy. The shuttle will be my home. No crew member would be allowed entrance without my expressed invitation.

2) I need some measure of assurance that when I schedule a game, I'm in a position to follow through with my plans. A pattern of last minute cancellations or no-shows will affect my rating with the House and I will not tolerate it.

3) I will not be gambling with the Captain or anyone under his employ.

Please contact me as soon as you make your decision. I am quite eager to embark on this venture.

Sincerely,
abbeygirl

Oh I've got patience aplenty, and I absolutely love the idea you put forward, really neat and fresh. BUT, I'm a merc, remember ?

TRANSMISSION TO ABBEYGIRL:


Yeah... ehr... humm... miss, we'd... huh... we've run into... *clears throat* 'Truth is, we'd be more than happy to do business with you, but our captain, who also happens to be the ship's legal holder and therefore has the final say on everything managerial 'round here, is unavailable at the moment. So, hum, yeah, basically, as far as I'm concerned you can move in at any moment, I just can't guarantee that he won't throw you out if things don't click between the two of you.

So, ehr, best regards to you.

*turns off comlink*

How'd I do?
