[closed log] space robin hood adventures

[circumspector]

CHARACTERS: Angel ( circumspector ), Steve Rogers ( decommission ), and Orr, the NPC Lady
WHERE: Avera 9
WHEN: Late Day 162
SUMMARY: Steve and Angel try to be good people and help some escaping families via some totally legally acquired credits.
WARNINGS: None; will edit if necessary.

[ It's a quickly done plan, but it seems most of this is, somewhere between making up for the fact that just about everyone was giving them wide berth now, and that there was a pressing need to truly help these people. Hits home when reading over the names of those on the roster with him after the sneaking in and out of the ship. Families, desperate families. Doesn't take too long to do something about, and then what exactly to do about it. So she comes up with a way to help them, enlists Steve ( again ) on the very simple premise, there were a lot of people profiteering off the suffering, they wouldn't miss a few credits here and there, and it goes from there. Is careful around the notion of stealing, given how he didn't seem inclined to the idea like most she had ever handled for work like this. Puts it more as taking what no one ever truly noticed, and that it wasn't for them, anyway. Not like they could save everyone but those that they could...

( the rest, the actually moving the credits around, she runs quietly in the background, shifting and moving it on set patterns and timers to hide her presence, granted, it would be hard to pin on her by itself, which she takes a certain care that it can't be pinned on anyone else either. )

After that, it's just a matter of going around to the different names on the roster and offering what they had, and in turn, they get rebuffed, no one is quite sure what to do with that much money given the circumstance. Odd to Angel at least, people tended to just take it in her experience, to hell what it might truly be used for really. Eventually, it leads them to Orr'Holna'rn, and brief instructions on where to find her.

When they get there, she turns briefly to her company and nods to the location, correct against the map she's keeping running on her datapad. ] This is it. Ready?

[decommission]

[ His lips press together, expression hardening. He's not quite ready to keep making light of what happened in Tari Town. Steve's less and less inclined to want to ask Ren if there's going to be similar trouble.

They might need more transport besides the speeders too, depending on how many hands need to be shipped out to the site. ]

[onemind]

My recommendation? The first patch of solid ground we find after we haul the poor thing out of it's grave.

[She shrugs. Who knows what the wreck's like at this rate; if it makes it even that far, it'll be a small miracle.]

[circumspector]

Alright, that shouldn't be hard.

[ She shifts then, already anxious to begin to get started, they're wasting time by dawdling too long, and they didn't have much as it was. ] You get your crew together, we'll take of matters on our end. How long until you think your team will be ready?

[onemind]

Most have little to do. I can have them together for transport in-- [A pause, the wide line of her mouth thinning. Her dark eyes tighten, a moment's consideration. There were people with jobs - a stupid thing to worry about now, but some of them still had families that needed feeding for the next handful of days. No matter. She'd scrape together who she could. The rest would fall in line.]

Give me two hours and I can have my people ready to move.

[circumspector]

[ She rises then, looking back at Steve briefly -- two hours is doable, right? Hopefully. If not, they could sort something else out, but it wasn't like they weren't on a tight schedule either. ]

Alright. Two hours then, that'll give us time to sort out transport and our... crew.

[ Not quite that organised, but she wanted to appear confident and like she knew what she was doing.




She was doing that a lot lately for someone who hadn't been outside in years. Right, well, too late to stop now. What else was she forgetting? ] Oh, and I'm Angel, and this is Steve. It's a pleasure to meet you. [ nailed it. ]

[decommission]

We'll be ready. [ They'd make two hours doable. Lucky for them they have an easy and quick way to contact people, no matter where they happen to be on the planet.

He gives Orr a nod when Angel says his name. ]

[onemind]

[What stupid names. She thinks it, but bites her tongue when she feels the thought rise into her mouth and start to form words. Best to not spit in their hands when they've got them palm up and open.]

Orr'Holna'rn. [In her mouth, the name is a series of sounds that make sense - breath and easiness on the exhale.] But you know that already. We'll meet again here. I'd avoid the space port if I were you. Better to keep this as quiet as possible to avoid the Constant.

[She steps aside then, the square line of her broad shoulders shifting to free up the path toward the doorway.]

[circumspector]

[ She nods, that, that they already know. ]

We're not exactly popular as is. We don't want to draw more attention to ourselves if we can help it.

[ But if the need it, the rest can be worked out when they need to, as for now. ] Alright, we'll see you in two hours.

[ And with that, she heads towards the door, already ticking over what needed to be done. ]
