0006: NEW ARRIVAL BRIEFING

Who: New Arrivals, Graham Baker
Where: Briefing Room
When: Late afternoon, Aprilo 1st
Warnings: None

When awakening, the immediate surroundings are swarming with activity. The people in the medical ward are polite and understanding, but firmly refuse to answer questions until the briefing. They move with a practiced efficiency, already veterans of this kind of thing. The same goes for the robots in the hangars. Either given hospital outfits resembling very comfortable pajamas, drone bodies, or their own bodies, they are escorted by polite, unyielding people in red and black uniforms to the briefing room.

The Briefing room is large. Not enough to accommodate a giant, but spacious enough for several dozen people. The tiles are black and featureless while the walls are nice, soothing colors. The chairs are high-backed and well-cushioned, more like comforting eggs floating a foot or so off the ground than anything else. Set into the ceiling and floor near the front is a large holographic projector. The floor in front of each seat also has a smaller projector, allowing people to see what the bigger device is showing without having to angle for a view. As of now, it merely displays a rotating pyramid.

Three Security personnel, dressed in their red and black uniforms, stand at ease in the rooms in strategic areas. One man stands at the head. Graham Baker, a middle-aged man showing the first signs of balding and wearing a wrinkled business suit, clasps his hands behind his back and smiles.

[Questions to the NPCs will go in the briefing thread. The rest of the post is there for people to mill about and do whatever with. The mods will not be doing hangar/medical awakenings unless it's specifically asked for.]

"Why not both? Combination BnB, complete with rug merchant."

At the mention of being the hairy one, Nate subconsciously runs a hand through his hair, and then across the stubble on his face. All things considered, neither of them have any right to that title.

"Intergalactic smuggling sounds pretty exciting, actually. I'm in."

"Do we have an unwritten code of conduct - no weapons of mass destruction and et cetera - or are we the rough shod sort who'll do anything for the right price? Also, you'd better start working hard at that military gig mate. We'll need some savings to start up with. Can't buy a spaceship with dust in our pockets."

In this hypothetical reality, Nate is apparently the benefactor in this relationship.

"Yeah right. You just want to see me in a proper uniform," he adds with a scoff. Nate does, however, predictably shake his head. "If you want to stick your neck out for the nukes, be my guest. Just don't look to take me with you on that one."

He may or may be privately appreciating the novelty of being responsible enough to manage his own money. It may or may not last long when he remembers that Sully isn't there with them to share the joke.

"Yeah, sure. I'll bet you look rather dashing."

So no nuclear weapons or extremely high powered lasers on the cargo list. Noted for future reference. "I assume that puts the usual list of suspects out the window as well, yes? Space narcotics, live cargo and the like." Which, coming from a man somewhat defined by his qualms and nitpicking, is a joke all the way down the list. "What's that even leave?"

"No no, those are fine. Just nothing that might blow up an entire landmass when I'm standing next to it, you know?" If they were going for irony, the sound of Nate's vocal denial in the dealings of explosives woukd be a nice contribution.

"Besides, we're just asking for trouble getting involved with those guys."

"Oh, well in that case--" He holds up a hand: "Alright, consider warmongers officially off the client list," and mimes scratching something off the would-be roster.
