Oh well you see Mr. Voncloud, 23 is a holy number of us Erisians. What comes of 2+3? Dr. Mojo shows Voncloud his hand. 5 is also a holy number for us, hence my flagship's callsign is Fifth of Discord. Anyways, we use it as a way to wave goodbye.
The Doctor smiles and quietly walks out of the Lounge.
Manuel whistled at the bartender to get her attention, waving his credit chit in the air. 2 weeks of space travel could make any man cranky, and Manuel's nigh-unquenchable thirst wasn't helping him much.
"Bartender! If you're not busy, I'd very much like for a Cuba Libre. Thirstier than a desert, señora."
Voncloud nods intrigued shaking the Drs hand again before he leaves "thank you for letting me know that..Safe travels, until we meet again" He comments before slumping back down on a stool near Douwe, speaking to noone in particular sighing "If i was still a mercenary...id have hunted that idiot down for his words..."
Erika by this time had called one of her waitresses to assist with the drink orders, once letting her know what to do, she slinks down to the new comer "Cuba Libre? i think i can rustle one of those up for you" She smiles though she wasnt fond of being shouted at for drinks, it happened so she got on with making the drink for the obviously thirsty gentlemen, as she did though she would give a passing glance to Kerrigan well aware where his eyes would of been since she was at the other end of the bar.
Nods his head taking the cig from his fingers and places it in his maw to light "yeah..ive had that sort of thing for years..think id be used to it" he mutters taking a toke from his cigarette "Back in the day, id just walk out of here after him, kick him to the floor and make him think twice on his words..or..burn his ship down in space.." he looks around "now..cant really do that..part and partial of being a Zoner..same frustration with OSI i figure.." The fox comments idlely before nodding at the offer of more drink
"So, CEO of OSI. That must be one hell of a job, I reckon."
Says Douwe.
"I've seen your company on numerous runs, even in the outskirts of Sirius. What I don't get though is why so many of your captains prefer to use that, beautiful, but defenceless Whale. I know the Zoners get away with pretty much anything, yet still, encounters with those blue devils are not that uncommon if I have a hunch where you all head off to."
His holo-pad beeps and Douwe checks, pausing his lines. A smile escapes his mouth and he enters a couple of commands.
"Good. Another business opportunity gone right."
Looking back at Voncloud he raises his eye-brow.
"Say, you wouldn't have a job for me and my family? Ruys Corporation is a family owned business and although we've got plenty of opportunity's we like to be quite specific on what we take on as a job. It's not common to find a Ruys backing off a deal, and the deal is sacred. And OSI seems like a solid business partner. "
He leans in close to Voncloud and whispers:
"We don't back down for anything. If you know what I mean."
He retakes his position and signs for another drink, lighting his newly grabbed cigarette with his old one.
Watchs as the other barmaid fills his and Douwe's drink, perking his ears to the idea of business partners, but then the comment that was at a low tone was what sparked his interest. Taking the Drink and leaning in "I think i get what you mean..but id like you to explain to me exactly..just so we are, on the right page, so speak" The fox says also in a quiet tone, luckly the bar generally was quite loud as he sips his drink
