"Not just credits," replies Carthrat, shaking her head. "I need a territorial grant, but priorities first, eh?

I'm looking at 8-9 million, minimum. I need more; I need a crew of workers, among other things. Right now, I'm having troubly just making ends meet."
[19:14] <Annerose> Aww, mouth not outpacing brain after all?

"Shit," Tir observes colorfully.

Still walking, he shakes his head. "At that rate, your best bet may be to marry and kill off a merchant lord," he remarks. "Or knock off a nice, large treasury of minerals."

<IronDragoon> I mean, why not?

Carthrat shrugs. "Opportunity tends to present itself when needed," shes walking, walking after Tir. "People follow money like slaves. Governments follow promises like ants to honey. The only resource that really matters is time."

Tir stops dead in his tracks, a mental 'click' taking place. "A time machine," he mutters, staring at you. "You aren't serious, are you?"

"Your stupidity baffles me at every turn, young one," replies Carthrat, shaking her head.

"Bah," he says, catching up with you. He lets it drop for now, getting back to your apartment.

Once there and once Rachel is stirred...

"The craft leaves in 2 hours," he says, over breakfast. Glancing at your watch, it's 6 AM Earth time now. "Do you all have your stuff together?"

"Yeah," replies Carthrat, shrugging. "You ready, Rachel?"

She nods. "I'm ready...and honestly, any place besides this space station casino would be a step up."

"Good," Tir says, "I'm ready when you two are."

"I'm always ready," points out Carthrat, starting to walk towards the docks.

Rachel nods. "Let's go...another step..." she murmurs, smiling a bit as she picks up her carry bag.

The ship is the Star Vessel Videllos, a typical passenger ship. The tickets Tir got you lead to a two room cabin, with two beds, a couch, table, and even a small mini bar. It's quite swank, with sleek metal accented with wood and plastice.

Far better than your previous accomodations.

The help crew is even good in getting you to your cabin. Once there...

"Welcome to the Starship Videllos. This is your pilot speaking, Captain Morley. Our estimated travel time is one week and four days, roughly. Any questions can be directed to your nearest personnel. We will be taking off in 30 minutes."

The overhead speaker annouces. 11 days...

Carthrat stretches. "Well, these ships usually have some interesting anemities to play with, so we shouldn't get bored," she comments to Rachel. "Just try not to let any of the crew grope you."

She nods, placing her carry bag near the couch. "At least the accomodations are pleasant," she agrees, "And I'm not planning on it."

"Besides, I was planning on working with that rod," she says. "Speaking of which...." she frowns a bit. "You just took that from her, didn't you?"

"She deserved it," replies Carthrat, flatly. "That illusionary world hurt like a bitch, and showed me a few things I'd rather not see."

A blatant lie, but it's one of those lies God doesn't mind. Or something.

"Wrong is wrong is wrong," she shrugs, but she doesn't pursue the matter right now. Instead, "Any plans for the next week and a half," she asks, sitting on the couch and signing in contentment at it's softness.

"I need to buy more bullets," observes Carthrat. "That's about it."
