Rat's eyes light up upon hearing the price for their services. "Alright, when do we start?" asks the ork, clearly over Syra's departure.

Three Star placed a hand lightly on the Ork's shoulder as he was agreeing to politely tell him to stop. "I do very much hope you mean "each", Mr. Steiner. We could get more than 10k each by selling the information of the storm and your plan to the corporations, or any information gleamed today to any number of your opposition and rivals. Not that i would dream of it but it is the principle of the matter.
I know you are willing to spend more on your group's  biggest achievement to date, especially as it will show what your group is really capable off and make people forget about that.. slip up on the newsfeeds. I need not repeat what you have said to us about how much this is going to mean to you personally and your group. I can not blame you for undershooting the price, but If you did not mean "each", then I, Three Star, urge you to reconsider the price based on the talent you are hiring."


Three Star's face remained neutral during his proposition, his tone understanding but firm.

Negotiation if you need it but I am hoping my role-play will help it along as I'm not a dedicated face(10d6.hits(5)=2) If anyone else helps things along, you could use their jics for teamwork tests and my jic for the added dice results

Rat thinks for a second, listening to what Three Star has to say. A smile appears on the corner of his mouth at the prospect of more money, and he says "Yeah, that sounds better."

Boomer gave an absent minded nod when Steiner gave his offer for payment.   It was a decent amount of cred.  It could have been better though.  He was no negotiator and he knew it which was why he didn't speak il right away.   Besides Rat beat him to it.  What was surprising, though it shouldn't have been, was that Rat accepted the initial offer.   Before he could say anything concerning Rats acceptance Three Star was already placeing a hand on the young Orc.   Listening to the human speak he was impressed that Star could speak so well. 

Boomer looked to Steiner.   "Well Three Star said it better than I ever could.  We're here for our expertise in certain fields.   If we weren't among the best we wouldn't be here before ya Mr. Steiner."
Boomer stopped speaking but looked as if he could say more but he never felt at ease at the bargaining table.

Steiner stays quiet and looks at you intently with a straight face for a while.
"Haven't the leaders of nations and corporations from around the globe repeated a thousand times in the last century that you do not negotiate with terrorists?"
He chuckled.
"I don't really like threats to my operation, Three Star. And don't get me wrong, but after being on top of Most Wanted lists all over the world for a couple of years, threats from the four of you don't really do all that much to me...
You could've maybe tried saying that I don't have much time to look for a new group and that not everyone's willing to take this kind of work. That would've carried more weight without the added risk of me deciding maybe it'd be easier to use you as fertilizer for this park."


He pauzes for a short moment -not nearly long enough for you to decide whether he's really angry at you or not- and then laughs.
"Sorry, I just don't get the chance to mess with people anymore, I'm probably getting rusty. Yeah, the offer is 50k for each of you in return for giving me a complete victory.
You don't get caught, don't leave clues that this was anyone other than TerraFirst!'s doing. The damage needs to be complete: I don't just want a lot of water, I want the water coming in with waves powerful enough to bring down their city."

"That is our goal. We have a deal then." Three Star puts out his left, synthetic, hand to shake Steiner's.

Rat smiles, his broken tusk making it look more awkward than anything else. "Alright, when do we leave?" asks the ork after Three Star shakes Steiner's hand.

Boomer shook his head when Steiner's demeanor gave way to a lighter side.  If asked about that moment he would have thought that the meet could have went either way.  Fortunately it went well for both sides. 

"Agreed.  Looks like we have a lot of work ahead of us and a short time to do it in."  He looked at the others.  "We're all going to need a new SIN for this run."  He looked back at Steiner.  "Mr. Steiner given your propensity for staying hidden would you know of any good fake SIN makers we could call on?"

@Three Star:
Steiner looks puzzled when Three Star offer his left hand... After a brief pause, he says "That's considered very bad manners by some people, you know? Personally, I just think it'd make for a bad start of a good deal." and he offers you his right.

@Boomer & Rat:
The terrorist leader shakes his head. "No. I think I've helped you as much as I can. I can't give you the names of our forgers... It's not that I don't trust you, but I simply can't risk blowing the identity of countless of our soldiers for one operation, no matter how big. We keep our cells separated from each other as much as we can. As for when you leave, give me and Quinten some time to make the arrangements. Be prepared to leave tomorrow."

"Of course." Spooky says without the slightest hint of sarcasm, "We'll leave those arrangements to you."

Something about that doesn't sound quite right. But if the veterans have no problems, I sure as hell am not gonna speak up now.  It'll wait until we're secure.

"How incredibly old fashioned of you, I am left handed so to me the opposite would be true to that logic." He shakes his hand with his right anyway.

Boomer gave a slight chuckle at the manners talk.  then extended his own hand to shake Steiners.  "Understood about not disclosing your assets and keeping things secure.  No worries."

With everything concluded and hands properly shaken, Rat made one final attempt at Syra. "You sure you don't want to come with us? I'll make sure to keep an eye over you if you do" said the ork as the woman was leaving with Quinten.

Everything agreed upon, Steiner excuses himself, explaining he'll update Quinten and make needs to make some final arrangements before leaving.
He leaves you alone at the table, retreating over the same path he told Syra to follow.

According to what the Laésa told you this morning, you'll probably be left here for quite a while in order to allow Steiner to get out of the area before anyone who knows of his presence has the ability to contact the corporations or authorities searching for him.

If you want to do anything before you're sent out of paradise, now's the time to do it.

Spooky looks around a bit, then decides to avail himself of one of the pools.  "You know, a man a lot smarter than I ever gave him credit for said to always take time to enjoy the simple things in life.  Odd that my little speech derailed him, isn't it?"  He looks at the others for  moment.  "What, did you think I actually believed either side of that?  Oddly enough, what he was talking about doing with TerraFirst! is abandoning terrorist tactics, and shifting to guerilla tactics and strategies.  Can't have made him many friends in the old guard."
