Skulls and Starships

Gin already has all the necessities on her person, so she hops off the ship first with no complaints!

Toni will go over to Dani, “could I have the freebooter armor? In case we get into a scuffle, I could use some better protection.”

"Sure thing." Dani makes her way over to a locker and hits a few buttons, the door swinging open. She removes the (newly cleaned and polished) set of freebooter armor, handing it over to Toni. "Bring it by me for a tune-up every now and then."

Ashley has nothing on her person except her dirty ragged clothes and her spellbook, so walks off the ship after doing her duties.

"Thanks Dani!" Toni will quickly rush back to her bunk to switch into the armor plated protection. She'll swagger back to the group really feeling awesome in the new digs, "aw, yeah. This is more like it! Thrash! hit me, let's test this armor out!"

Rickety's word was true, the accommodations at his station are not luxurious and as you spend more time at the station, you find that everyone there is in some way or another involved in the squibbing business, either working in the process directly, or doing some other support activity, like preparing food, working medical, performing maintenance on the station so that it's livable, ensuring that guests such as yourself are reasonably comfortable. The food is decent, if unspectacular and the rooms that you're given are unspectacular, but there's really nothing to complain about.

Ashley would stare quite intently anytime Rickety did anything Medical - like watching some pick food from a plate, waiting patiently for her turn to choose food.

Thrash would make himself comfortable onboard the station while occasionally making his way towards the ship to supervise the work being done before being (presumably) told to leave them alone. Most of the time he would make sure to keep a very close eye on the four sailors that had still been loyal to harrington. He didn't trust them and as soon as he could find some suitable replacements... he planned to make hamburgers out of them.

(Later at dinner time?)

"Hey Dani" Thrash would say as he motioned her over towards the table he was eating at. if she chose to sit down, he would motion to the four shady crew members. "So... how easy would it be fer one of those 9 fingered chicken nuggets to get a hold of a coms device and rat us out to Harrington?" He would ask as his long tongue moves to fish a piece of meat between his razor sharp teeth.  "I wonder if I shoulda taken their tongues instead of their fingers." The lizardfolk adds before taking a swig from his drink. A few moments later Thrash would flag down Toni and Gin. "So... uh... while were stuck here for a while. I was thinkin... maybe we could try to have ya put on a show and make friends with some of the folks on the station. Ya think ya could convince any of em to work fer us? Never know when we might lose one or four of our crew. Our work is dangerous after all.. and if nothing else maybe ya make some extra creds?" Thrash asks as he looks to the sisters. If Ashley is around as well he would flag her down also. "So ya got any ideas of a good way to keep tabs on those four? I don't trust em. I been trying to keep an eye on em and I need yer help."

Dani shrugs. "If you're worried about us being ratted out, put a guard at the comms," she says simply. "Any personal devices you come across that aren't in the possession of someone you trust, give them to me and I'll lock them up. I sleep in front of the equipment locker anyway, and I'm working on a way to get Vezzy set up so that she's active enough to shoot intruders even when I'm not wearing her." She pops a piece of food in her mouth, chews and swallows, and then adds hesitantly. "Or you could toss them out of the airlock the second we have enough crew to do without them." The young woman is clearly unused to making such bloody (or cold) suggestions, but is, to her credit, dead serious about it.

Toni sits down and leans in, "Look, they are pirates right? So all they want is booty, booty, and booze. I do't see any reason why they'd want to betray us if we find a score soon. Once they see that the change in command changes nothing and that we are good at pirating or whatever, then they should fall in line."

ooc: i was thinking maybe the 4 guys we didnt like were across the room and not close enough to hear the conversation we were having

The next four days go by smoothly, as you wait for your ship to be finished. As you wait, you all see a Chelish galleon flying into the station. The workers at Rickety's station begin to panic and run away as a shuttle departs from the galleon and begins flying towards the station.

Toni grabs up one of the panicking workers and shouts at them, "What?! What is going on?!" 
INTIMIDATION: 17

Thrash would grip the handle of his spear and move through the halls of the station. "Alright... Everyone get yer weapons ready... these fish sticks are running scared which could mean trouble for us." The lizardfolk would shout as he moves to get a better view of the approaching vessel.

Ashley looked calmly around as to what the fuss was all about.

Dani frowns and taps her armor, which reshapes itself into a sturdy, heavy form with reinforced fists and a buzzing defensive field. She watches the shuttle as it approaches, eyes narrowed.

Gin watches the shuttle with anticipation at what all the hubbub was about. 

Toni: "It's the Chelish! Those devil-worshipping bastards have been at war with the Free Captains for years!"

Everyone else: The shuttle makes it to the station. Out walks six men who are very obviously not in any kind of military uniform following a handsome looking captain. As he moves, you can hear the sound of metal making contact with metal when his right leg hits the ground. Everyone please make an Insight check.

Insight: 9

"What new devilry is this?" Ashley asked, mostly to herself.

Thrash would look this captain up and down... immediately comparing himself to this other lesser captain. Insight 12
