We might be able to find someone to buy the gems at the bar, or even our cultural kitsch item! SOMEONE's gonna want 'em.

I'm not sure we have time for gambling and whoring. I vote to use the psionic amplifier and or orgasmitron to rob the guys then leave. Alternatively, are they powerful enough to take on the threshers? We need more info.

There's always time for gambling and whoring! As long as we don't stay the night, anyway.

I'm thinking that meeting the Threshers here might not be that bad. We've got our Cloacaing Device and just a ton of mind/physical crippling weapons for us to make a run for it i we have to. Plus there's a lot of things for us to throw in front of them to buy some more time.

We could set a trap. These guys appear to be Space Capitalists, if we warn them about the dire Space Hippie Communist threat approaching they might shave off a chunk of their armada!

Oh I like this! If space truck stops are like Earth truck stops then there will tons of gun toting right wing weirdos just itching to throw down on some space pinkos!

I propose we refuel the ship, sell what ever we need to sell to get some walking around money on top of it, start spreading rumors that the Threshers are coming to protest the free market system in lace in this star system, gamble a bit, get some space strange, and get ready to put a smack down on some stupid slug looking mother fuckers.

hi how are you


This is a dangerous goddamned plan and it will probably result in getting our asses handed to us. If we go with this and it fails (which it probably will, no matter how good our luck has been so far), I'll show you the bad ending and then try to panic jump to the next system. If it succeeds, then welp.

In the meantime as far as I can tell we're selling gems, a piece of hull and slaves in return for 3 tons of megasterling. We'll buy 100 energy and get some walkin' round money. We could also sell the Cultural Tchotchke for another 50 energy, which might be a good idea if we're going to fight.

After that we'll gamble, whore and try to rile up whatever aliens are here against the threshers, although probably not all in the same update. Sounds good?

I'm pretty sure there is a scanning glitch in there on page 198- i think our officers are supposed to be composing themselves, not composting themselves(which would imply the loss of the entire bridge crew).

Guess that one got by the editors! That typo marks this copy out as a first edition, it was fixed in later versions. This book could be worth something if Two-Fisted Steve hadn't torn half the pages up for ransom purposes.

Update
We get rid of the Haldian Slaves, Drinks Umbrella/Tchtochke, the Gems and a point of hull in return for 4 tons of megasterling, this part of the galaxy's main and most inconvienient unit of exchange. We spend three of those on refuelling, and keep one for walkin' round money. The robot duly lets us onto the station since we're not freeloading: we turn to 14.



Basically where do we start? The general plan is viable but we have to chose which of the delights of the station will get our business first (there's a good chance we won't get to do everything). Our walkin' round money should cover us for any expenses while we're here as long as we don't go nuts.

Here's the starship manifest:

the hell is this place... this is a party?! Where the gently caress is the swamp? Where's the orgy? where's the blood and rotting flesh? Let's turn this place into our own lido swamp. throw a party so hard that we'll gather allies for that crusade against the Threshers that we're totally going to not bail on. let's buy a bunch of rounds, get that 10 foot pole hammered, do some space blow with the jelly whore, eat spacedog and start waving the orgasmotron around. we deserve a release, it's been a trying afternoon

Sounds like too much work. If these chumps will give us funbux for our worthless slaves I don't see a reason to bother.

I think your suggestions are better suited to a Catte run.
