(Group A)
Hieronymus gives the documents a brief glance and then files them away. Turning back to River and Noa, he says, "Yes, well, things certainly seem to be in order. Your credits will be deposited into your account. I do so much hope to do business again with you soon. May you find fortune among the stars, my friends."
The gnome smiles, almost appearing genial, as though the recent heated exchange never took place.
(Group B)
Boris nods, saying, "Yes, yes, is no good to drift out in cold space with broken engine... but that is why you need best of best! This alternator will keep ship running even in most desperate of times! Do you really want to take chance with cheaper, less stable parts? I do not want to hear of my friends, old and new, starving and freezing out in space because they were too cheap to buy decent alternator!"
To Ironfist, Boris responds, "We are friends, yes, but I have business to run. Do you really want friend's family to go hungry? Shop to close? Marketplace taxes recently go up due to administration on station, is hard to afford rent!"
Boz gets a token (now at 2), Nanshork does not (still at 1).
"Listen, other shops in market do not have such a good parts as I have here. In fact, I hear just last week, someone buys plasmic discharge converter from shop on opposite end of market, and their entire ship blows up in massive explosion. Instantly vaporized. Kaboom! Coincidence? I think not. Buy from your friend Boris, and I think you are quite safe and sound!"
Whenever you feel ready, you can start spending those tokens on demands. Since you're both sort of taking on Boris as one side against the other, I'll let you pool your tokens for bidding. Otherwise, feel free to keep trying to rack up the tokens. However, don't take too long, since Boris can also make demands of you.
