What Exactly WAS She Asking For? [RP}

A Passenger riding The Mule to a nearby system asked me this afternoon to procure for her 1 Domestic Appliance to make her trip more pleasant. What the heck could she possibly be wanting I asked my stewardess (gee - I hope there aren't any SJW's in the 34th century). A washing machine, a stove, a blender? What? Marci just stared at me and with a grin on her face that I won't soon forget, said, "you figure it out boss". She left the cabin giggling. [wacko]

What the heck was so funny?

I do feel bad, really, really bad. Because after Marci finally broke down and told me what the lady passenger wanted I searched and searched the market data base and could find it no where. When I had to go back to the cabin and tell the lady (who turned out to be quite attractive) that I'd tried, really tried to get her what she needed she told me never mind - that I had what she needed at which point Marci yelled, "Noooooo!!!", grabbed my elbow and laughing the whole way dragged me back to the cabin. "you old fool - what are you tryin' to do? Lose your pilot's license?"

I just smiled at her. "you owe me Marce".

"Yeah. Right", she said, with a come hither smile, "buy me dinner after we dock and before the night's over - you'll owe me".

I kicked the Mule into supercruise and firewalled the throttle.

Those "get me this" mission additions should be simply renamed to "go to a station type, I wanna do some shoping" additions. Makes more sense and are slightly less annoying.

Edit: And you know what? Sightseeing missions are the one mission type where "go to this planet and orbit until we tell you to stop and drop into an instance" actually makes sense. They just want to take in the sights until they find a perfect spot for some selfies or whatever and then go home. "Hey guys! Look at this selfie! Only cost me 5 million credits! You won't guess where I was!"

Well, she didn't actually say she wanted "one domestic appliance". She wanted "one tonne of domestic appliances". That would be, what, two washing machines, six blenders and an autochef?

As for the guy wanting landmines, I'd assume he had a social disorder that made him feel insecure unless he was living in a fortress. Criminal-type passenger, I take it? If you'd gotten him the landmines, he'd have laid out a minefield in your cabin, filling up the whole floor with explosive booby-traps and then curled himself up into a tiny ball in the back corner, finally safe.

I assume also that the stewardess would've been smart enough not to go in there after giving him the mines.

So, I was sitting in the lounge at the spaceport when this excited little man in the most outlandish and tacky suit sits down in the chair opposite me and hands me a whiskey sour. I raise an eyebrow.

“You’re an independent pilot, right?” And without actually pausing to get an answer he continues, “my client needs to get away from it all. Can you take him and a couple of others to the Ice Guisers on Gleesee 33 or whatever?” Still no break to actually get an answer, “We’ll pay 5 million credits for 5 people in business class. What do you say?” He finally takes a breath.

I think about the money. The Sky Dancer is set up for trade but I can swap in passenger cabins right here, so maybe. “I’m strictly above board,” I tell him, “Everyone will have to get a background check and come up clean.”

“Sure, no problem. Only no scans in transit. My client is kinda famous and he needs a break, so nobody should know where he’s going.”

Modules swapped and passengers aboard, we head out. A couple of boosts and we are clear of station security before they can get a scan off.

Two systems later and I get a message from the passenger compartment, “Hey man, I’m like all edgy. I need something to take the edge off. You got anything recreational on board?”

“There’s a zero-G gym I could let you use.”

“No man, I mean something I can’t take. You know to make the stars look all crazy and colourful.”

I look out the windscreen at witch space and wonder why he doesn’t just look out the window. “Ya I know a place nearby. Anything specific you want?”

After getting his choice of recreational drugs onboard and the ship back into the the black, I head down to the passenger compartment to make sure he is happy.

I don’t remember much of the rest of the trip but I’m pretty sure it was a blast. The client even gave me a 10% tip.

I never did find out what that Criminal Mastermind wanted the three tonnes of fish for.... but I had to sell the cabin once he was done. [knocked out]
