(D1 EA) Aggressive Acquisition

[Phoebe Wren]

Phoebe turned a critical eye to the offer of buying a slave. She had no plans of actually buying one, and she trusted that Axel would pick up on that as well.

But she hoped it would buy the others some more time.

"5000 credits for that, you must be mad," she began the haggle-game, letting Axel's looming frame channel her unimpressed mood. "Uneven teeth, arthritis if my eyes aren't mistaken, and a hip that's going to be bust in five years. Nuh-uh. Not impressed, honey."

1 Success, 5 advantages. Converting Advantages into 2 Boosts for Rose and Coryn.

[Rose Sorenn]

Rose opened one of her numerous pouches and produced a few tools. It wasn't an entire tool kit, but it would do well enough for the moment. She quickly explained to Coryn what she wanted to attempt, handing him a screwdriver. Working together, it wouldn't take long to get things done.

[Evencious]

The back and forth went on for a few minutes before with a blink the captain of the vessel passed out, crashing to the floor.

Crew and slaves alike soon followed suit, and the free were officially in control of the ship. Letting them decide its fate.

--------------------------
Great work everyone.

Rewards: A job well done: 1000 credits for each participant in the event.

- OR -

Let them free: Your next destination will be a good place to free these slaves. It will make for a crowded ship, but who knows what rewards may await you.

[Rose Sorenn]

Rose gave the device a few minutes to do its thing before turning to Coryn, "let's go find the others."

[Axel Ward]

Axel watched, satisfied, as the captain slumped to the floor. His only regret was that he hadn't put him there.

He turned to Phoebe, simultaneously tapping his comms. "This ship wasn't smuggling goods. It was smuggling people." He growled. "These are slavers."

[Coryn Kusat]

Coryn nodded to Rose. "Nice work there." When they reached the others and saw what the cargo was Coryn clicked his tongue.

"I fucking hate fucking slavers. Let's bring these people with us." He looked around the group to see what they thought of that.

[Phoebe Wren]

"Disgusting." even for those who hadn't picked up the language yet, her distaste was obvious.

"There's no honor or glory in dealing with slaves or slavers. I don't think that's what we should be doing."

[Rose Sorenn]

Rose didn't catch all of Coryn's words, but she caught his tone, and she could plainly see the slaves. She was frowning, lips pressed together as she crossed her arms over her chest. "Right, but what about them?" she nodded towards the slavers.

[Coryn Kusat]

"Well, we could sell their stuff and their ship, use the proceeds to help out the people they took, and leave 'em in their kute on Tatooine?" He shrugged. "Hope they like sand."

[Rose Sorenn]

"I dunno," Rose shifted her weight, "maybe we should take a finger from each of them so they remember not to dabble in slavery again."

[Phoebe Wren]

Phoebe considered the situation thoughtfully, shifting her helmet between her hands. "I think I agree with Coryn. Take what's theirs, give a new chance to the ones they stole."

[Rose Sorenn]

Laughing, “don’t get me wrong, I agree with all that. I just think we should take a little more to really drive the point home.”

[Axel Ward]

Axel shrugged. "Turn 'em in. Or space 'em. Either one's the same to me."

He scowled, perhaps a bit more than usual. Really, he preferred a straight up fight to all this subterfuge. Then, the slavers would already be dead.

[Coryn Kusat]

"Tatooine doesn't have much time for laws so turning 'em in ain't much use." He lightly kicked one of the slavers but there was no response. "Spacing 'em doesn't seem right though. I guess we could find out who they're working for and shut down the operation?"

[Axel Ward]

"Could ask their prisoners what they think should be done with 'em." Axel said, his deep voice especially bland.

[Xavien Laerrin]

"Looks like you all have this pretty buttoned up here." Xavien said as he walked up to meet the rest of the crew.

"Good job everyone." He offered the four a smile. "Are we about ready to deliver this cargo to our Employer?"

[Axel Ward]

Axel folded his arms across his chest. "This 'cargo' is people." He said flatly. "No way are we turning 'em over to anyone."

His scowl deepened, somehow. "Just who is this employer, anyway?"

[Xavien Laerrin]

"I see, I'll have to iinform them that we were unsuccessful on out mission then." The redhead seemed fully capable of rolling with the punches. "It will harm our credability in some circles, but there is little to be done about that."

He forwned for a moment. "So, do you four have any plans on how to move from here?"

[Coryn Kusat]

"Well, we can take the folks back to the Aurora and drop'em off at our next stop. Maybe sell this ship and they can use the proceeds. Hell, maybe there's some potential recruits." He looked down at the slavers and raised an eyebrow. "Not sure what to do with these shitbags though. Or your contact who tried to make slavers of us."

[Axel Ward]

"Some of 'em may want to stay on Tatooine. Probably not too many, though." Axel growled. After all, Tatooine sucked.

He shrugged. "But we'll figure something out. Let's get 'em back to our ship."
