Badass Space Dragon 2.0 - Round 6 - Synergy

Ella: Thank you for joining us, I know you've been busy with the territorial assembly.

Pete: Aw, hell. I prefer ta be knee deep in scrap metal. Wouldn’t ‘ave got into politics if I knew about the meetings. Jus seemed like the right thing ta do… But borin’ as a game of cards with a space slug.

Ella: As I reported, Unizone has far exceeded any rational action. They build more than shipping drones, reconnaissance data confirms they are building an army.

Pete: I seen the scout report. Where can I setup shop?


Meanwhile… at Unizone Regional Headquarters.

Mr. Chum: This is the logo design they went with? It’s all… I don’t know… squiggly.

Mr. Chaam: Marketing says it’s very modern.

Mr. Chum: The shape seems suggestive, don’t you think?

Mr. Chaam: It’s a metaphor. The circle is the entire galactic rim and these Unizone ships on the cusp are providing servi…

Another clone bursts into Mr. Chum’s office.

Mr: Chooom: Excuse me, sir! We have word that the cube factories are producing unauthorized battleships.

Mr. Chum: Battleships?

Mr: Chooom: Yes.

Mr. Chum: Why are they producing battleships? We don’t even have blueprints for battleships.

Mr. Chaam: Oh dear.

You had b22 and the community bank gave you b22 for a total of b44. You did not have enough to purchase two hull repairs after the mission fee. It appears that you were expecting an additional b6 from the bank. Upside, still alive.

Today marks the passing of Captain Falkayn, one of the most well known captains in the young galaxy of Charybdis. The ambitious community organizer and banker will be missed.

If there’s one thing that Beard and I agreed on, it’s that he was a good man who always wanted to see better from all of us.

Here’s to Rule #3 if anyone wants to join me at Duck’s. I’ll cover the black flags in every drink.

dafuq? Were it not for his generosity and community building efforts I would not be flying today, landbound or blown to bits, is there really a difference when the stars sing to your heart?

Clear Ether, Captain Falkayn!

There were several of us that were rolling the dice on this last mission, indeed there are some I am actually surprised to see still with us, but I didn’t expect that Falkayn would be missing from our gathering at Duck’s.

The black flag in my drink will be at half mast today.

And tomorrow I’ll be seeing to my ship in an effort to avoid his fate. Getting down to 11 HP during the return from that courier run had me spooked at every groan and shudder that The Quattro uttered. That is not the way I’d like to find religion.

Round 6 - Synergy

Nilah rolls into Duck’s Pond.

Now what’s all this then? Did someone eat the soup? You all look sad as hell with those little black umbrellas.

Buck up little space ace, things are turning around! It’s all over the comm feed, fat missions and dirt cheap repairs by the scrapper himself. It doesn’t get better than this!

In fact, it’s almost guaranteed to get worse! Haahaha! Better get those rattletraps flying right!

Nilah swipes a drink from a glum human, knocks it down and tosses the glass over her shoulder.

If anyone manages to shoot down more than seven drones, I’ll buy you a cask of honeywine!

If it weren’t for him, I would have no idea how to navigate this galaxy or actually be here right now. I raise my honeywine in honor today.

[Raises Glass] Farewell, comrade! May you find prosperity that matches with your best suit.

Falkayn can’t be dead! His ship destroyed, maybe, but he had a plan! I’ll put a black umbrella in my drink and keep hope in my heart.

Who runs the bank? I have a debt to pay, worth every bit, as it got me back in mostly one piece.

Beard and I wanted to say a few things.

David Falkayn had three rules in life. Make a profit. Enjoy life. Stay alive. These are good rules. These are noble rules. And yet, sometimes these rules cannot be followed. He was a strong proponent for pilots becoming organized, becoming a unified whole in the face of adversity. A lone voice at the beginning seeking solidarity in the face of personal profit.

I certainly didn’t understand his goals until too late. His goals seemed too… noble, too gracious for the lot of us. I suspected personal gain, but looking back, it was never his intent. Collective gain would be closer to the mark. He was a man ahead of his time who gambled a little too closely on his last run, taking the Long Haul and hoping to hit it big. Big enough for a hat.

David Falkayn had three rules in life. Make a profit. Enjoy life. Stay alive. I maintain that he had an unsaid fourth: Live a life worth mourning. Though his life has been shortened, we are all the better for the legacy he has left us. Let us keep the bank going and honor his memory by calling it the Falkayn Memorial Collective Fund, and lead lives worth mourning.

Falkayn…dead?

At least I still have every copy of Columbo stored. No biggie.

Oh, wait…Falkayn.

That son of a bitch owed me money!

I have to say though, seems rather convenient that the Muddlin’ Through was lost far away from prying eyes and conveniently reported to have suffered exactly the amount of damage required to reduce its hull integrity below zero.

That man was always running three moves ahead. I won’t believe he’s gone until I see the wreckage with my own eyes (and even then…). Perhaps we should go out there and take a look?

Don’t you have to go to -10HP until you’re really dead?

The worst of it is that he still had $bits and a billi or hull pts could have saved his bacon. When you don’t have the $bits it is mathematical, but here, welll, the $bits were there :frowning:

You’ve… Seen things we wouldn’t believe.

Give sb55 to @davide405. My fiscal debt is repaid. My other debt can only be continuously paid.

Edit: should that be @Natasha?

Starting cash:
b80
debt paid -b55
repairs b25 for 50 HP regained.

Officially requesting a loan of b50 from Falkayn Memorial Bank for Mission 2
Also requesting an additional b25 for further repairs to ensure I survive the mission.
If I am granted the full b75 I offer to pay back b100 (provided I survive and am successful).

No, he took the Long Haul, which didn’t leave him time for repairs or purchases. b100 buy in with b400 payout though. Just ran into too many pirates.
