The Drunken Junker

[JunkerTown]

James listens as Gypsie speaks.
Finishing the drink he's nearly choked up by the Zoner's request.
Setting his glass down he looks over to him and says..

You want to know what life on a salvager is like ya say?
I wonder if you realize just what your asking here.
Life on my salvager is very different than what you would find aboard most Junker ships.
Most are used for trade runs and making credits.
Mine hasn't moved product for profit in a very long time.
It has been outfitted with special equipment and its space allocated for armor.
The remaining cargo space is reserved for high quality fuel storage.

Pausing he reaches over and picks up the bottle and pours himself another drink.
Sitting back in the chair he opens a humidor box on the table beside him.
Inside are several hand rolled high end cigars.
He pulls out a cigar and dips it into his drink.
Using a cigar cutter he slices off the end and then strikes a wooden match.
Placing the rum soaked tip into his mouth he lights it up.
Takes a drag off the stogie and as the smoke swirls he says..

Still.. perhaps we can work something out..
IF I allow you aboard my ship you will need to follow my orders.
Even a guest would still need to behave as a member of the crew.
So tell me.. Would you be alright with that?
