Carthrat

"Weird. I never thought of myself as ruthless at the time," ponders Carthrat. "Just doing what I had to do, y'know? It just became habit, and you get detached from it.."
[19:14] <Annerose> Aww, mouth not outpacing brain after all?
[19:14] <Candide> My brain caught up

"It's funny how things like that work out," he agrees.

Reaching the ship shortly after as the conversation dies, you do a last minute prep for the arriving dealers. This takes up your time well enough, until your com buzzes. "Mr. Torin?" a staticy voice asks.
<Afina> Imagine a tiny pixie boot stamping on a devil's face.
<Afina> Forever.

<Yuthirin> Afina, giant parasitic rainbow space whale.
<IronDragoon> I mean, why not?

Carthrat

"That's me," replies Carthrat. "Are you the inspection team?"
[19:14] <Annerose> Aww, mouth not outpacing brain after all?
[19:14] <Candide> My brain caught up

Anastasia

"Yeah, from the guild," the voice goes on. Normal enough voice, crackled by some odd static. "Want to get this going, Mr. Torin?"
<Afina> Imagine a tiny pixie boot stamping on a devil's face.
<Afina> Forever.

<Yuthirin> Afina, giant parasitic rainbow space whale.
<IronDragoon> I mean, why not?

Carthrat

"Absolutely," replies Carthrat. "I'll open the hatch for you."
[19:14] <Annerose> Aww, mouth not outpacing brain after all?
[19:14] <Candide> My brain caught up

Anastasia

"Alright."

With that, the com dies, waiting for you to do said task.
<Afina> Imagine a tiny pixie boot stamping on a devil's face.
<Afina> Forever.

<Yuthirin> Afina, giant parasitic rainbow space whale.
<IronDragoon> I mean, why not?

Carthrat

Carthrat taps a few buttons. "Well, Nezumi-San, how good a bad accent can you manage?"
[19:14] <Annerose> Aww, mouth not outpacing brain after all?

Tir pokes his head into the cockpit, a bit nonplussed. "I'll stick with my normal voice, thank you very much," he grumbles. "I don't need to sound fresh off the starship."
<Afina> Imagine a tiny pixie boot stamping on a devil's face.
<Afina> Forever.

<Yuthirin> Afina, giant parasitic rainbow space whale.
<IronDragoon> I mean, why not?

Carthrat

"Bah. You're no fun," notes Carthrat. "Well, you may as well shut up and let me talk, then."
[19:14] <Annerose> Aww, mouth not outpacing brain after all?

"Sure," he agrees, coming in and sitting himself down on one of the chairs in the bridge. As he does so, a short little alien, big headed and gray bodied - that race that got seen publically back in the 50s and has been the base of too much Earth alien BS since - enters, a floating droid with him. "Mr. Torin?" she asks in a slightly raspy voice, explaining the static like sounds from the monitor.

"This is the main control bridge? Could I see one of the consoles?"
<Afina> Imagine a tiny pixie boot stamping on a devil's face.
<Afina> Forever.

<Yuthirin> Afina, giant parasitic rainbow space whale.
<IronDragoon> I mean, why not?

Carthrat

"Certainly," replies Carthrat, gesturing to the control banks. "Pick anyone you like."
[19:14] <Annerose> Aww, mouth not outpacing brain after all?

Going over and seating herself, the alien pokes away at it, sending a steady stream of comments to the droid, who is recording them. It's mostly technical stuff, with a few comments. "Good armor" "Needs engine touchup", that sort of thing. This goes on for perhaps five minutes, before she's done. "Can I see the interior rooms now?"
<Afina> Imagine a tiny pixie boot stamping on a devil's face.
<Afina> Forever.

<Yuthirin> Afina, giant parasitic rainbow space whale.
<IronDragoon> I mean, why not?

Carthrat

"Of course," replies Carthrat, gesturing at a nearby hall. "The cargo bay, the living quarters, the workshop, it's all that way."
[19:14] <Annerose> Aww, mouth not outpacing brain after all?
[19:14] <Candide> My brain caught up

Anastasia

She goes along with you, inspecting each room and making more comments. All are reasonably positive, with no comments of doom. Once finished with that, she nods once to you. "Alright, I'll be back to my boss now. Come down later today and he'll be talking them."
<Afina> Imagine a tiny pixie boot stamping on a devil's face.
<Afina> Forever.

<Yuthirin> Afina, giant parasitic rainbow space whale.
<IronDragoon> I mean, why not?

Carthrat

"Right," replies Carthrat, checking his watch. "I'll be there."
