Dierdra just looks at you for a moment.. trying to understand..and then burst out laughing. "No.. you can't have the ship when you're done." she says at last.. "Who knows..maybe with the pay and a very good record..the CDC would consider sponsoring you.. you know.. buying a ship and having you work for them to pay it off.  As for departing.. the crew is assembling around Theseus.. the departure date is in about a month.  That gives you some time to get there..and if you choose..spend some of your advance relaxing at the resorts on Minotaur."<br/><br/>She sits back..smiling..your joke putting her more at ease.
