[D2 EN] Advance Scouting Party (Sidewalk)

[Snorri Tycho]

"How rude of me" Snorri extends a hand. "Sergeant Snorri Tycho of the Fortunate Ones. And what is your name?"

[Comstar]

"Lily Fielding."

She took the hand and gave it a shake with a surprisingly firm grip.

"So tell me Sergeant, what brings your company to our world, if it isn't conquest like those brigands to the south?"

[Snorri Tycho]

"Charmed, Lily Fielding. Well, are on an expedition to find excellent alcohol and lovely ladies so it's going splendidly so far. You mentioned wine, and that might be the next part of my quest."

Snorri takes another sip of the beer. "Oh damn that's good"

He lets out a sigh. "I am serious about the wine part. Unfortunately, all I can say is that we have been contracted to provide security for a third party. Confidentiality applies, but "maurading" is not part of mission parameters

[Comstar]

"Good."

She smiled. "The sheriff was on edge, and it spooks the regulars."

Glancing at the man, she shrugged. "As far as wine is concerned... what are you looking for?"

[Snorri Tycho]

"Old Merlot if you have it, red and dry for the rest. So went the request. Though why anyone wouldn't take another of these..." Snorri raises the beer

[Comstar]

"Well... maybe the lady, and I am betting it's a lady, will just have to try it and change her mind."

A faint smile.

"As for Merlot... I can't really say we have that, but red and dry, certainly. I have a Talos Pinot Noir, 2984, that I'm told is quite nice, though I don't drink it myself. We have crates of the stuff."

[Snorri Tycho]

"Well, how much are you looking to get rid of? We have a pretty big crew, and if...well, the lady in question finds it not to her taste, I am sure that I would earn some favors with the pit crew.

Snorri has no idea about wine, but he did know that it sounded older than the one that one that Winters had mentioned. Older wine was better, right?

[Comstar]

"Eh... I would not mind getting rid of all of it, frankly, but that's going to depend on what you have to sell, friend."

She leaned against the bar, smiling sweetly, if slightly predatorily.

[Snorri Tycho]

Oh, so I'm getting hustled

Snorri knew it, but his own greed couldn't seem to stop him.

"Well, I told you that I have offworld currency. If you want me to barter with people back in camp, I'd be happy to on your behalf. Off the top of my head, I can think of spare parts and salvaged armor that I imagine could have taken out of my next paycheck for you. Maybe hire one of our techs if there's something you need fixing. Why, have anything in mind?"

[Comstar]

"Hmmm.... I was thinking offworld booze, actually."

She smiled wickedly. "Imagine that would go over well, something exotic and delicious."
