“Like I said, expanding my operational area. Looking to expand my client base, see what potential there is for making some sound financial partnerships… and such. And you? What brings you out this way? I figured you for something less… permanent… than a station.” Pikelsimer replied, not loudly, but certainly not as if he was hiding anything.

Alston nodded. “Who said anything about settling down here? I was just planning on stopping through. I’m on a simple cargo run, and needed to stop for some supplies. Magellan was a convenient stop this time. Figured there wouldn’t be a lot of lawmen here,” he said chuckling while raising his glass to Micah.

“But if you are looking to expand your ‘little’ operation. There are a couple of up and coming colonies in nearby systems that are perfect for a motivated business person such as yourself.”

Pikelsimer returned the raised glass with his own and said “Really? Do tell.” and he leaned back against the bar and surveyed the room.

Alston sipped his drink. “This is still relatively new territory out here, with a lot of colonies still working on getting established. There isn’t a ton of trade between the colonies yet, as most people are working on getting settled in. But that leaves plenty of openings for people who aren’t so tied to any one particular location.”

Alston took another sip of his drink before setting it back on the bar. “Especially if said people aren’t as picky about where the supplies are coming from.” This close to the borders, there were always plenty of opportunities to pick up extra supplies if they knew were to go.

Pikelsimer looked at Mace intensely for a few long moments, his eyes never blinking. Finally, he looked away and said “You looking to make some decent money?” The question was asked nonchalantly, but there was an edge to it that seemed to say ‘Think hard about how you answer this.’

Alston laughed, “Always.” He finished his drink and put the empty glass down on the bar.

“Aren’t we all out to make a quick buck?” he asked raising his eyebrow at Micah. After a second he cracked a grin. “You aren’t going to be able to catch me that easily. I’ve already got a gig, and it’s completely on the up and up. Registered flight plan and everything, if you wanted to check.”

“Too bad. I have an opening for an… associate. Hours don’t suck, and the pay is better than fair.” and he downed his drink and set the glass on the bar. “If you know of anyone looking for something like that, send ‘em my way. My shops on the Promenade. Be seeing ya, Mace.” and he held out his metal hand to the ‘Trader’.
