You're late, Captain Reynolds. We were under the impression that we had a business agreement with you. Don't tell me you've forgotten so soon?

I hadn't forgotten nothing. We just ran into a bit of trouble on the way here.

[tidesnpc]

We're working on a schedule here, Captain, and for what we're paying you, we expected promptness. I suppose common courtesy is too much to ask.

What sort of trouble did you run into, exactly?

[in_the_latin]

We got hit by a merc ship looking for an easy target. They caught us unawares and made off with most of the cargo.

[tidesnpc]

Oooh, that is a shame. Now how exactly do you plan to compensate us for the loss? That was an irreplaceable piece of technology, you know. Quite valuable. Its loss means a great step backward for Reial's leading scientists.

Your damn clank does not equal one thirteen-year-old girl's life. Who the fuck made you God?

[tidesnpc]

Temper, temper. You don't know what you're talking about. Consider yourself lucky that we decided only to take her back.

[son_of_the_lake]

Back? You think she belongs to you?

[tidesnpc]

Of course. She would not be who she is without us.

[anonymousryuuki]

Where have you taken her?
