(( Bridge, Deck 1, USS Octavia E. Butler ))

Yet another Mercenary ship had showed up in this system. They really didn’t have time for so many mercenaries, but this one had actually hailed them. Captain Rouiancet had told her to bring it on screen.

Lahl: Aye sir.

Advertisement: SEARCHING FOR THE PERFECT FOREVER

Kimonzi started trying to tap at her console. She was not having advertisements back in her system again.

ORRRR 

JUST RIGHT NOW?! 

DOESN'T MATTER 

HOW

MANY

LIMBS 

YOU 

HAVE!!!!

TIDBITTER HAS THE PERFECT LOVER FOR YOUUUUU!!!

Rouiancet: Turn it off!

Kimonzi was trying, and she could see that Commander Katsim was also trying, and had even moved over to an Operations console. However, whatever she was doing seemed to not be working.

Katsim: It’s not working!

Lahl: I’m trying!

Advertisement: CAN'T GET WHAT YOU NEED AT THE TRADING POST?!

NEED THAT SPECIAL SOMETHING BUT PESKY LAWS STAND IN YOUR WAY?!

JUST WANT THE BEST PRICE THIS SIDE OF THE OBATTA CLUSTER?!

THEN REMEMBER YOUR HOME AWAY FROM HOME AWAY FROM HOME, 

PORRRRT CORRRRRRAY!!

Rouiancet: I'm completely locked out!

Katsim: I’m unable to do anything!

Lahl: Morro had a program! I can try to use it!

She was trying not to yell, but the advertisement was absolutely, absurdly, loud.

Rouiancet: Try it, quickly!

Katsim: Please!

Lahl: On it!

Kimonzi started running Morro’s old program for getting rid of the advertisements. However, it apparently needed some adjustments as the ads had changed in some way.

Rouiancet: Response

However, shortly thereafter, Kimonzi was able to get the advertisement to shut up. Once she did so, yet another Dosi was on the view screen, his red and white painted face not looking happy.

Vuq: Are you the Captain?

Lahl: oO At least this time I don’t have to bluff since Captain Rouiancet is here. Oo

Rouiancet: Response

She watched as Commander Katsim approached Captain Rouiancet’s seat.

Vuq: I believe you have two of my people.  I’ve come to offer a trade. 

Lahl: What could he have to trade?

She hoped she spoke softly enough to not be caught by the sensors and broadcast.

Rouiancet: Response

She was going to let Captain Rouiancet take the lead on this one.

Lahl: ::whispering:: Let’s start scanning.

Rouiancet/Vuq/Katsim: Response

She looked over her scans, getting more details on the new mercenary ship. This one really did have a lot more offensive firepower than the other one. Did the first ship call them for help?

Rouiancet/Vuq/Katsim: Response

Lahl: ::typing to Rouiancet:: =/\= They have more than enough firepower to try to overwhelm us. I think something is up. =/\=

Rouiancet/Vuq/Katsim: Response
