"Find a seat everyone." Maroon said. "First Iwant to thank you allfor the effort during our flight. The gunnery was excellent Barra. I was impressed by your fighting skills everyone especially yours Evy'la. You did well in getting the boarding crew together. Kirachirp next time I want a hole in the wall I am coming to you."<br/>"Who is your friend by the way?(<strong>points to Fellric)</strong>I remember seeing him in the bar but not during the retreat and flight?"<br/>(insert introductions and appointment to doctors position here later)<br/>"What I have asked you here for is that the crew needs to help me make adecision. Any of you new people also deserve to know what you are in for."<br/>"Our first problem is the Behemoth. While it is not a direct danger to us it's going to discorage the kinds of ports we've used in the past to fense our goods, take on supplies and undergo repairs. WE're going to have to figure out where to go and how to operate." Maroon told them.<br/>"I see several possibilities here. First we could use the inumerable small stations for supply and light repairs while selling by arrangement out of port. I've done this before when things were hot but it cuts our margins becuase selling out of port means the buyer can charge a higher price for their service. Second we could head out toward the rim of the Empire where the Empires reach is limited. We would be able to dind ports there but repair facilities might bea problem. The pickings of ships would be smaller as well though we could engage in planetary raids out there. The third alternative would be to set up a base around some dim red dwarf or even a brown dwarf building it by using our prizes as raw material. They would cost of course in terms of prize money but would keep us whwere there are prizes to win."<br/>"I won't talk about targets for the moment first we have to figure out where we will operate. So how do you all evaluate these options? Do you have alternate choices you would like to suggest?"<br/>
