Bridge, the Defiance.
After Vodrich and Rabaech confirmed that the ship could take the jump Thanica set up the coordinates on the console. Carter could only try and look somewhat sure of what she was doing all the while eyeing what she did with no idea of how it worked at all. If there was something both him and Krystyn had to do was learn how to handle these ships, if they wanted to head home someday it best they did.
Then the ship suddenly entered a blue bubble which began to turn bigger as the ship began to move through an endless green tunnel.
Carter led out a short chuckle as he observed the tunnel beyond the bridge window and said “So this is how it works…”
Thanica then spoke directly to the amused Carter.
"Okay so I'm going to say lets head for Pleasure Haven and this Konkara fellow. He doesn't sound the sharpest tool in the shed and I have a plan which, hopefully, might work."
"The important bit is Yp goes into the casino section or whatever first and scouts the place out along with a whole lot of others from our group. Basically blend in with the locals, drink, fight, lay a wager, whatever you want, but don't look like you're connected to each other." she began outlining her idea, "I'll then make my appearance with a couple of crew members acting as muscle, adds to the pirate look and means, hopefully, he won't just try to grab me. I introduce myself as Commander Vari of the Defiance and demand to speak to Konkara. I'll be totally honest about what the amount of money I want, say I'd prefer a loan, he'll laugh at me, and then offer to bet myself, converting whatever he values me at into chips. I'll indicate that I'm going to win big or go bust - nothing in between."
Carter nodded in agreement, by all means they didn't have much to lose so he couldn't see an issue in this. Besides all things Thanica was the expert in how to approach this, at least compared to Carter.
"At this point." she continued, "If he has accepted, he'll probably want to go to a private room or something. I'll demure, stating that I'd trust him more if we did it within sight of onlookers. Which is where Yp comes in... Yp has eyes pointing in every direction and can communicate telepathically. I would like Yp to park up somewhere where he can see Konkara's cards from the back of his head while it looks like he's doing something else. He can then give me info telepathically. If it all goes wrong for whatever reason, that's what the others are for. We'll open fire on the guards and try to take Konkara hostage, both for the money and for the fact that I doubt we'd get off the station alive otherwise."
"Any thoughts or improvements?" she asked
Carter took in the plan, he began to consider the possible outcomes, success, failure, and of that happened a possible shoot out. They'd need a fail safe, at the very least something to distract the scummy players for enough time.
“I'm good with all of it. But we'll need a fail safe plan, something to distract them with in case things go awry.”
