McKenna gave her father a hug, then repeated her intentions and awaited his reaction, not knowing what they'd be.

(McKenna) "Well." Says her father, patting ehr shoulder. "Good luck with it." And he heads to find food. Her mother smiles that McKenna got that much emotion from him. (Arcturis) The price was well outside his price range, and the details really made it a business investment more than just a pleasure ship. Though, the engine types Ion Mk2s - designed for interplenetary transit - would be far easier than the traction drives he had been working on before the shift to plasma engine tech under KLS Corp. (or their contract, however you wanted to play it  ) |

A business investment sounded good. He'd have to set up specifics but it seemed sound. He could with the right parts and time tune it up.
After a thoughtful look over his present investments he did a little homework on the ship design and parts that it's design used. With all this done he slept untill he had to meet the captain.

McKenna had expected more of a response, but was glad there hadn't been an arguement. She smiled back at her mother, " So, I know you're dying to tell me all the latest gossip. Fill me in."

McKenna's parents chatted with McKenna until bed-time...
Next day!!! Friday, and there's already a small line-up for AA5.

He was waitning in line. as Blacksmith kept a sharp eye out as he looked over how much could be invest into the ship. "Not nearly as much left as I'd like, But I will earn good money with this investment."

Spotting Tawfeek, Jessica walks up to him and nods with a polite smile at the other man that is with him. "Hi," she says "I'm Jessica. Nice to meet you."

McKenna rounded the corner, and was surprised there were so many people already waiting. she had expected a little competitiion for positions aboard the freighter, but this was more than she had thought already. she took a spot in the line, knowing full well that there shouldn't be anyone else with her medical background looking to sign on.

(In the lounge)
"Ah, good. Jessica, this is Palott Deviss, the lead engineer." Tawfeek says. "Palott, this is Jessica, our head of security."
Deviss, who looks only to be about 80% there looks and nods. "Please ta meetcha." He says. "Well, gotta look into those engines..." And, with a nod to both, he hefts his sack, and heads in.
"Well, "Tawfeek says to Jessica when they're alone." Looks like we have a crowd waiting. Didn't think things were so bad here. Oh well. You find everything OK?"
(Outside the door)
Arcturis and McKenna actually ended up next to each other in the queue, for simplicity's sake. An older woman turns and asks, "You think they'll need a maid here? Ships like these often have guest berths."

McKenna was insulted, but her reply didn't show it. " I'm not a maid, ma'am, but I'm sure they can put my medical training to use." She smiled and turned to Arturis in line beside her," What position are you looking for?"

"Oh, a doctor." Says the woman, patting McKenna's arms. "Well, bless your heart for coming. You wouldn't believe how rare those are on the shipping lanes. I was hoping for the maid job, myself. If they have it, you see."

Flip who had no real place to stay the night before wound up sleeping right outside AA5. Unfortunately for him the line started on the opposite side of the door, so when he awoke he found himself fairly far from the front. Cursing under his breath he grabbed his few belongings and ran over to get in line. Once there he waits patiently for his opportunity to meet the captain, and hopefully land himself a job.

Flip ends up at the same part of the line as the others. He's heard there's at least a doctor and something like a maid that want a job. The guy with them hasn't spoken up, yet.

Jessica nods at Tawfeek as she replies "I found everything just fine." She is quiet for a second before continuing "I'm also a little confused. Everything concerning security seems to be just fine - so why do you need me?"

"I need someone to manage it." He says, moving chairs and tables around for the interviews. "Also, not every security issue I face will be on the ship, as I'm sure you know."
He heads over to the door. "By the way, you're shrewd. And I want that for my second in command. Not some yes-man. That's Deviss." With a smirk he keys it open.
In a clear voice, he says, "OK. One at a time. No shoving, and get your resumés ready."
He shows the first person in... a rather ineffectual jittery fellow who wants to be the lead pilot...
The group at the end of line still has time to chat.
