Maybe a more direct approach works better sometimes? Maybe I could have avoided a lot of unpleasantness if I just told Rail's step-father I dreamed it... Then again Royal's been a lot more believing. |

Re: (IC) Lost in Dreams (Julian)
Royal: "Seven, Check and see if this creature is on record somewhere. Or if some tanks we thought were screamers are these things... Seekers for now, until we have a real name."
"Florence, we need you to figure out what's going on here. Should this sense work? how does it change what we know?" Those three start working... it doesn't seem that Julian has anything to do at 3 in the morning. In the morning (what time does Julian wake up?), Florence announces that she has found a client: the Rebel leadership on Panogos. "They are not our ideal client, but with the increased time limit, they are best situated to protect the Starpus." Seven has found what he thinks is the problem team: they've been sweeping a different station. Florence is apparently lobbying to steal the creature. Slam thinks they should just shoot it. Royal says she will only authorize an attack if they are either desperate or very confident it will be worth the payoff. They want Julian awake for when the feed the Starpus. The Starpus are quite hungry, or so they assure him. Florence says they have new fish species they're feeding them, hoping to through off any purchasing trail... OCC: Royal thinks Julian's a one in a Million asset (or more). That really changes how claims are assessed.

I may have missed it earlier, but the fact that she took his call at 3 AM is a big signifier to him of how much she respects his opinion. |

Re: (IC) Lost in Dreams (Julian)
Slam starts putting in the new fish:
Pleasant caller: "What is this?" Julian can't tell if he's delighted or upset. Hungry Singer: "Its certainly a different flavor. I think I need to try another one." Gentle Arms: "Is this a human fish*" *Certainly not, they look halfway between squid and fish Quote:
Royal: "How good of a repertoire do you have with the starpus? As part of the price agreement, we need to know if they can reproduce. We... don't know much of that. If its easier, we can ask if Florence can examine them."

I try to broach things in a sort of delicate manner... "So, can you guys have children together or is that not possible?" |

Big Digger: "Why are you asking about that?" Gentle Arms: "Remember he didn't know if we were smart or not. Are you asking about now, or about if we've got a good spawning mix?"

I ask Slam, or maybe Florence over the radio, "What is this?" Quote:
"Well, part of thing people I'm working with are interested in is whether getting more Starpus would mean going to Koru or not. I mean, at some point, people are going to want more boxes, or, well, you might die and we might need replacements..." |

Florence: "Its a local species on Panogos. tastes pretty good. thriving market. Royal had me try and match a local commercial fish. Hardest part is getting them ungutted. Please ask if the starpus want to try them processed." Quote:
Pleasant Caller: "I don't think any of us want to raise children though!" Gentle Arms: "We have a functional but non-optimal spawning mix." *The enusing description is about temperature, water turbulence, rocks, and is utterly lacking in any sorts of useful numbers.
