=^=Norg to Bridge=^= “Its a Communistic society, well… sort of.” he said as he delved into relevant data ” Rather than placing value on an individual for their own capability, its a tiered system were work and goods are awarded a value and then that value is placed in energy credits evenly among the tier, in this case Work Credits. The downside means that we don’t really have the ability to replicate the difference given we have no idea what particular coding they use.” he paused as things came into motion “If we could manage to generate an expectation given what we are about to trade is state of the art versus their perceived as limited technology. We could increase the value of our traded items considerably, but it would have to be done quietly. Anything we try to up sale would be instantly disregarded because we have to trust to use as currency, what we need is a mouthpiece.” =^= End Transmission=^=
Norg, civ
=^= Thank you Norg. That is a good idea - stepped technology. Trading functional rather than state of the art. =^=
Back to the Captain. =^= Captain, what would a cargo transporter be worth to them? It would help them vastly in transporting non-biological goods and even in ship building, component fixes and more. It would be an upgrade in their computer storage technology, power distribution and introduce transporter technology without it being state of the art tech with biological or personnel transport. And gives them the ability to expand their technology in exploration. =^=
- Jen, XO=/\=I will ask them. Good call. To be fair I didn’t contemplate the power compatibility. I will keep you informed but I am getting back to the table. I will contact you when it’s over. Bordeaux out.=/\=
Bordeaux CO
Just before the Captain slipped way he said, =^= Norg has volunteered to assist you in your negotiations. =^=
Jen=/\=The Ferengi civilian,=/\= The shock and surprise was clear in Kelly’s voice. Ferengi were the master negotiators at times. On some level the thought amused her. Hell Norg might even end up with the people from Base Five giving them stuff instead of the other way around. =/\=Send him=/\= Kelly replied. Jen was tactically brilliant. If he was suggesting this it meant there was a purpose.
Kelly Bordeaux
=^= Acknowledged. Will send him along at once. =^= Jen replied. =^= Will he be met at the station for escort to you? =^=
=/\=I will make it happen=/\= Kelly replied into the comm.
Kelly Bordeaux=^= Norg, you’ve found your place as a .. mouthpiece in the team. Report to the station docking platform to join the Captain. =^=
- Jen, XO
While Jen awaited the scans of the century old unform that he, at this moment, had no dream of it’s existence, he stretched. He was getting old, at least to him, and he needed to prove it by going on one of his runs again. He had not done that since they had come into this area of space which, admittedly, was not ‘that’ long ago but still long enough that he missed it. There should be a retractable bar here on the bridge where he could lower it to do chin ups, or a treadmill in the back for just these times where the shift was long and they were staring at a station wondering how the haggling was going down below.
He was sure that the pirates had done the work asked of them in making repairs, though the irradiated columns and supports they put in bothered him. It was a large ‘you are here’ sign but to whom? Surely not the pirates. They could do laps around them. To have an entire carrier at their disposal with fighters and a base - albeit looking a bit worse for wear after the ‘Darkness’ shot at them, they had to have a sponsor. Jen was not naïve enough to suggest that they bought it and built it out of their pillages under the noses of all these races. It was likely them that they did this for and they needed to keep an eye out. They were more dangerous to the Atlantis than the Darkness. The latter was a random chaos event that they found they could outrun. The former was calculating and likely even now plotting. So they needed to do the same.
=^= Jen to Department Officers aboard. Report to the bridge for assignment. =^=
Jen, XO
OOC: That would be any rostered folks who are NOT on the station .. gene
