But ever since he lost his leg, it just got worse thought. After the accident, he locked himself in his workshop.” Selma replied sadly. “He was so caring before, and now... he just works constantly. Sometimes I wish he had never gotten into this business.” Jackson knew quite well of Comtox Delware, mostly from his fame as a drone engineer. Half the drones running the ship were developped from him. “ Are you certain that Mr. Delware is well enough to join the Coconut?” Selma stopped and looked at the Captain's weathered face with confidence and said “My husband may be unwell, but if he stays on Aqua any longer, I don't think he'll have the will to live. Whenever I talked to him, Comtox always told his adventures from when he was young... when he used to box... His favorite story was when the gravity on the UBA malfuctioned and he knocked out Tyrone ''Iron Arm'' Jacks with one punch...” Selma looked away, a tear rolling down her cheek. “ He needs to find new inspirations captain. Please take him with you!” Jackson couldn't find a better opportunity! “Ma'am, we'll take care of you husband on the coconut, We leave in 2 weeks!” |

About the suit: Biopastic---not in setting. particularly the self repairing aspect. Stealth Exoskeleton---different from described, and functions more like a vehicle than a suit. Ones that function like suits have been developed, but thats a lost military tech. Morphwear--- not in the setting. The population base to support such things has never been in place. Gripboots --- climbing bonus only.

What is the distance between Aqua and Hell? How long would it take us to fly back? |

We should double check what they have that Aqua may benefit from, naturally. Quote:

Since I was able to negotiate that sales commission with the captain and he takes care of the day to day needs, I can invest almost all of my starting cash to the company along with whatever Financing I was able to get. (I do want to have enough left over for some fancy clothes, a nice box of cigars an a few bottles of good wine though) I changed my mind on the name of the company... Communications may be too narrow... Let's go with "Bell Logistics"... Primarily a private investment firm, that will form or buy subsidiaries as needed. How much does a ship like the Coconut cost btw? Are you using GURPS Spaceships? Quote:
What's important for maximum gain is the prep work before any sales or information gets out. There is the matter of Aqua security as well, we'll want to get to know these people and make sure they won't just raid Aqua for what they want if we just hand them a list of what we've got and the address. As much as Gabriel wants the trade route established, he's not an idiot. Quote:

Did it seem like the aliens had better long range communications? I recall mention of a captured ship... (not that we would have access to it of course) |

As indicated before, my carrying money (if It's not all sunk into the company) is in Warp tech (because it can't be fabricated or built by a robofac, and I presume it will be the first thing that's price will skyrocket at the discovery of a route to another colony). |

Re: [OCC]: Space Merchant
i'm going, but I need to... prepare. I need to finish up before showing myself completely, don't want to walk around with a repurposed combat drone and looking too suspicious...
The Obelisk Before the world fell to pieces, advanced combat drones would take up arms besides their human leaders. nowadays, these rare antiques can be seen rotting away. forgotten are they, the strong and silent. Obelisk is a drone, de-weaponized and rebuilt to aid Comtox in his construction. an assistant of sorts, his advanced microframe computer stores any needed details, while his combat programming makes him the perfect mix of maker and breaker. height: 8'2" (SM+1) Weight: 216 lbs ST-16 IQ-10 DX-10 HT-12 Speed- 6 Move-6 Will-10 Per-10 Specs: (dollar cost, added to final price) [note: NOT the''actual'' thing. I just like to list stuff out] Combat android frame (repurposed) ; 100 000 $, 135 lbs Compact Microframe Computer (Comp. 8, 1 000PB); 20 000 $, 20 lbs. Non-Volition A.I. (comp. (10/2 +2), fast (+1 comp.)); 3 000 $ Drone Overide Program (comp. 3); 10 $ Medium Radio Communicator (100-mile range); 1 000 $, 5 lbs Portable Tool kits; 2 400 $; 50 lbs Mechanic (drones) Armoury (drones) Electronics Repair (drones) Mini toolkits; 600 $, 6 lbs Machinist Electronics Repair (computers) Fusion reactor (20-year lifespan); 40 000 $, 10 lbs Total; 167 010 $, 216 lbs point cost: 4 Last edited by Justin Bedard; 06-13-2013 at 09:22 AM. |
