I've already told you once before. Your youthful charge listened. Why didn't you? Do you believe that I am more complicated than what I have shown you already?[8]
While you two work out whatever it is you're doing, I'm going to actually pay attention to something that matters -- not a jumped up suit of armor who's throwing a tantrum because its creator got stabbed. I could kill you in an instant you ungrateful, snot nosed--Make sure to do it quick, because I'll blow us both to hell in an instant. You know I can and will. Or did you think that dream you put me in was a fluke? As for you, Doctor, its a brat throwing a tantrum. Ignore it and it'll stop acting out. Or not, and then I can kill it.The mirror Pheobe stays silent, seething as you turn the datapad on and confirm your order. The Armorer nods, adjusting your bartering amount by the cost of what you lawfully purchased from the Pirates. "The hand, if you still want it, is a full surgical kit with the required implants and pain meds and antibiotics and such already inside. It's one hundred credits." You hesitate, then, remembering your advisor's advice, you give a nod. A small total flashes on the screen, giving you your remaining total in a neat and pretty graphic.
Available Funds for Barter:
37757 [Empyreal Energy Credits]
"You'll deliver those to the Crusader camp, if you please."
"Of course. We'll send a craft righ' away. Probably deliver William while we're at it."
"Oh, and can you gift wrap them? Put a nice bow on it for me?" You question, innocently. The Armorer raises a brow, then gives you a grin.
"Of course, m'lady."
With the armor still sulking, you rise, snuffing out the fire with a twist of your will. If you're not mistaken, you have two? Three days? Before you meet with the Khagnate.There's a chime from the datapad, which, you're pretty sure you're going to steal, and Cephie waves up from the routed call. "So, get this right, Emma was already preparing a New Year's party! She didn't even flinch when I said we would be bringing like three hundred off-worlders to Stormmont to enjoy themselves." Cephie grins, stretching, "She's going to have booze, some chef named Mary is already preparing the meals -- bartenders, prostitutes -- if we get the Pirates to bring some music, we can have an actual, honest to the Gods party!"
