Leunus System, Mutual Development and Assistance Pact 15 April 4500 CE
A planetary defense ship, fashioned out of a meteor, approaches us to ask for our manifest and stuff
They make note of Benat's military status in the Cincastrellan Confederacy.
Lucid buys 3 robot sword drones, 2 gun drones, and a drone interface.
The poor merchant dies inside as they see their drones default RGB lights turn to the cyan of Miku.
I decide to go to a major congregation area to seek up to 2 passengers, and to hire a gunner
A retired lance corporal with Gunnery One, Small Turrets. Astrid Yenson. She's looking for long-term employment.
Most of the passengers are run of the mill folks, trying to see family.

16 April 4500 CE
Benat buys medical supplies
I arrange ship upgrades.
Someone comes up to our ship as we finish loading the supplies
a man in his mid-40s, he pulls out a beautiful box, roughly more than a meter long. Intricately decorated with a crude lock (and key), but it's nice. Liam O'Connor.
Needs its transported to Catta Pride for a festival, handsome sum for the crate. The Collector is willing to pay a lot more for it.
Sensitive contents - when i go to gently shake it, Liam stops me. He dodges the question when Benat asks, quite rudely, what is in the box.
"A collector's item, thats all you need to know."
for our own safety
Lucid and I intervene, and we walk to a secluded section of our now-full cargo bay, where he quickly opens the case.
Inside the case is a sword. It looks like a regular-ass sword.
Benat recognises it as a ceremonial weapon, collectors pay a fortune for these because they're hard to find. They carry an air of aristocratic prestige.
