Disaster in Space/Live Drop
From Create Your Own Story
You know better than to try and land on a strategic military base without authorization, so you have arranged a quiet rendezvous with one of the team leaders for your little transaction. You bring your ship to a full stop at the agreed-upon place, just beyond the watch of the shipyard's patrol fighters. You aren't surprised when a cargo hauler from the yard approaches, right on time. You know how bad the workers want their entertainment.
The other ship hails you with the code phrase - "All Work and No Play Makes Jack a Dull Boy." You answer the hail and a middle-aged man in gray overalls appears on your viewscreen. He seems pleasantly surprised to see such a pretty face on the other end, but that's all part of your bargaining strategy. He doesn't see women out here except in holovids and he may pay more just to make you happy.
"Well well," he says cheerfully, "I guess there really IS some glamor in smuggling." You smile at the compliment, and he cuts to the chase. "You brought everything?"
"Everything you asked for," you reply, leaning back in your pilot's seat and crossing your arms, pushing up your bust. "You brought the payment?"
"Of course we brought it, beautiful," he says.
How do you want to be paid?
