Location: Impiruil Baile – The Field (January 21, 2013)
Participants: Narai, Cassandra
The Enlightenment sits in the fields along side several other ships. The crew of the Enlightenment is unloading their cargo, at its final destination on the run. Narai stands well outside the ship, smelling the fresh air and looking towards the settlement.
The Ruggito del Leone descends from the clouds, its plasma cannons searching the ground before it sets down in the field. Shortly after it lands, Cass steps off with two of her crewmates in tow, strolling confidently over to Narai and stating, "You said something about compensation, si?"
The legendary explorer ignores the woman, for a moment. "Have you ever been here before?" He asks, turning to her. "I didn't catch your name either?"
Cassandra nods at the question, saying, "Si, I have. Only once. And I am Cassandra de la Fuego, captain of the Ruggito del Leone!" She says her name in a very grandiose fashion, bowing deeply at the waist. "And who are you, Signor?"
"The Rugguto del Leon?" Narai replies, butchering the words horribly. He shrugs it off, hoping the woman doesn't catch it. "I am Narai. Explorer. Former Viceroy of Malencheer. Leader of Trans-Dimensional Expeditions. At your service." He smiles, offering a bow of the head. "And I helped found Danu Chroi. It absorbed Malencheer over a year ago. I've been doing my own thing since then." continues on.
Cassandra blinks at the terrible pronunciation, but decides to ignore it this time. "Well, then we are both explorers! Excellent!" says the woman, grinning widely, "What places have you explored?" She looks up at the bear, seeming curious for the answer.
"Many.. The Orion Arm, the Bright Cluster. Other places. Irinnar, Drakon. Too many to list." Narai replies. "I've been around, seen my share of things, and been in a number of tight situations." He shrugs, thinking of all the good and bad times. "In anycase, I am sure you want payment so you can be on your way?"
"Si, that would be excellent." says Cass with a grin. "And I have explored only on Earth, but once I get enough funding I shall begin here too!" She seems very sure of herself, almost arrogant. "Perhaps we could partner up sometime, yes?" She grins a little at that, though she seems to be in a bit of a rush.
"Perhaps. See me when you're ready to get in some exploring. Me and my associates can be found on many worlds." Narai replies, reaching into his bag and pulling out a data chip, handing it to the woman. "Here, you can deposit it into your account. If you need anything, find me on Comorro." He smiles, and heads back to his ship to check on the status of his cargo.
