Shade listened for a moment and then looked about sharply during the speech. He had no idea whether this was standard operating procedure, a joke or some sort of code. He was alone on the ship, unarmed and outnumbered. It wasn’t an ideal circumstance.

OOC Depending on what you do on the trip over this can be an instantaneous move of you can role play it.

OCC: I am going to suggest if you want to RP out the trip over we create a thread for banter but I say we move the sim along and pick up on the ship. Any thoughts on this ~ Kate

Kelly stood at the exit of the shuttle taking in the pirate ship for the first time. If anyone wondered if the pirate ship physically was a match for the Atlantis, one look around the hangar put that wonder to rest at first glance.

The size of the ship was quite impressive. Large was something they did well in this sector of space. The landing bay was long but narrowed as it went along with pods. The best guess was the ships landed and then were immediately prepped and funneled into launching pods. If a ship needed an unusually long landing area the craft had to do so along the long center line as the sides quickly disappeared.

There were at least 20 landing crew, or at least what appeared to be landing crew, and another 20 people clearly dressed in a tactical garb. It was not uniform in terms of what they wore, but each carried identical rifles and side arms on an identical belt. But that is where the consistency ended. The people were of at least four different races and while they varied in height the all appeared fit.

“Here we go,” Kelly said low in a volume only the crew from her ship that stood around her would hear. Moving over to the shuttle with Shade, Kelly hoped the man would be a little more friendly. Her eyes drifted around the area. The crew appeared to be mixed with multiple races which to her was a good sign. It meant on some level they weren’t xenophobic. To Kelly the group looked more like a loose coalition of individuals. They had belts that seemed to hold some significance but nothing else matched....excpet the weapons. Where ever they were getting the weapons, they were getting them in bulk. This could mean that while the pirates were not an official peacekeeping force they could be a force for someone else.

Giving a side glance to D’vash, Kelly spoke trying to move her mouth as little as possible as she spoke. “So what are you noticing about our new friends home?”

She would get Mardusk’s and the rests opinion later about what the trip was like over here with Mr. Congeniatlity.

As he exited the shuttle behind Kelly, D’vash took in every detail, from the various races of the crew to the placement of stations in the hangar bay, to the types and similarities/differences in the shuttles. “Well armed,’ was his quiet reply. “Weapons look military grade. Either they have a powerful patron supplying them, or they’re all former military and now act as mercenaries.”

“So either way they can be bought,” Kelly mused agreeing with D’vash’s assessment. While the idea of buying someone off wasn’t the top on things to do as a Starfleet captain, it was something she would consider under the right circumstances if it got her people home. “Think you can figure out which one of those options it is before dessert?”

“So Captain I believe, you have a number of parts you require… as well as a base to do such repairs.” Alfo spoke as he walked them through the ship. It wasn’t an intricate floor plan, mostly a grid with a main line and then branches off of that. There were elevators and ladders, all at fairly regular points. What was notable was a hatch system that was far less advanced than the force field more commonly used on star-ships.

What was clear, Alfo was more willing to negotiate while the Captain was on their ship. “You teleportation device… perhaps you will trade that technology for some of your needs.”

Alfo

Mardusk and the contingent from the second shuttle had fallen in behind Alfo and the Captain. When the man suggested bartering for a transporter system, Mardusk’s face remained flat but inside he thought Don’t even let him entertain that thought, Skipper.

Mardusk, CoS

“Please do not think I am insulting you or your tech. It has been my experience that one should never judge a book by its cover so when I say even I don’t understand half of the physics behind my transporter system it’s not a cop out. We can have our engineer talk with your engineer to see what is and isn’t compatible.” Kelly was used to lying with a straight face and a calm demeanor. This approach had been honned to keep her out of trouble since she was sixteen and discovered boys and booze. Transporters were her ace in the hole. She had no idea if the systems were even compatible but for as well as she honed the I am being completely honest tone Drayke, like most engineers, had the There is no way we can do that expression only to turn around two hours later with the job completed. There was no harm in Jacen talking to the engineer. Whether or not they would share the tech would remain to be seen.

“No no no… you need a… flux capacitor… yes that was an invention by Doc Brown, great Earth scientist and we don’t just have spare ones lying around… but…” Jacen pondered a bit at the idea as he looked over at Kelly with a slight smirk. “I will get Ensign McFly to look into it… maybe he has a spare in the cargo bay,” Jacen said, hoping that would give them some time as the idea of giving away transporters was not what he assumed Kelly wanted.

“What I can offer is several other handy dandy gadgets. I am not sure where your medical is but I can say ours is rather nifty in how fast it can heal someone. Literally in minutes for most cuts, breaks, and burns. The more the extensive the injury the longer it takes but for the most part we have little to no illness or injuries. We also have replicators which for the most part can make many things out of energy. The drinks we offered you on the ship were replicated. It is the basis for most of our food and beverage consumption.”
