Let's talk up the merchant more, guys. I'm intrigued.

[Aseaheru]

Lets talk to the merchant. he might have some data that will give us an edge.
like a map showing better routes around the pirates location.

Yeah. I'm on ship. Who is with him?

[Aseaheru]

what?

[Gotdamnmiracle]

what?

The merchant.... Erh. Whatever.

"So we are looking for someone who knows what they are doing. How do I know you aren't just lying to me and going to cut my throat the second I fall asleep on your watch?"

[Ukrainian Ranger]

Diana showed some sympathy to the merchant, asked about the price for repair of the jumpdrive, asked about it's size and armaments and about the militia that seized his fleet. Later in conversation she offered some a variant how they could help each other...  If repair is achievable using Salvation funds and it's resource reserves she promised to talk with the rest of crew about it. Of cause if Merchant would agree to work together for some time

[Aseaheru]

i thought ebbor said we CANT do that sort of thing.
several times.

[Ukrainian Ranger]

What kind of thing? jumping with another ship attached?
I am quite sure that this was allowed, just need some recalibration of the jump drive

[10ebbor10]

You can do it. It's however a bit risky, and positive results are however not guaranteed. At the very least it tremendously increase charge times, and puts quite a lot of strain on the drive.

You can cut corners of course, but ....

[Aseaheru]

yah, lets not end up with our molecules out of whack. or missing our cargo, etc.

[Ukrainian Ranger]

Ok, edited the action

You compassionatly inquire some more about the status of the merchant's jumpdrive. He shows you the engineers reports. The drive is still fairly intact, except for the crack going almost straight through it's outer and most of it's inner casing. There's also some minor secondary damage to the drive's control systems, and the drives calibration system is little more than a heap of molten slag. However, these latter are mostly irrelevant, as the crack is too wide to be repaired, meaning that the entire compression coil needs to be replaced. You could ,of course, try to patch it up, but it wouldn't have the structural strength it once had and there would be a significant change of malfunction of the containment system, with an explosive discharge as effect. More optimistically is that the central core appears to be intact.

The merchant's vessel is a fairly modern modified Cargo hauler. Even in it's damaged state, it's still a marvelous sight to behold. It's powered by 2 pulse fusion engines, allowing it to outrun most vessels, while the sleek silvery hull keeps it's safe from most dangers. It's integretated lifesupport systems allow long and comfortable flights. Like all "Scarab" class personnel transport, it's also capable of orbital reentry and flight in even the most difficult circumstances. All this comes at the price of a rather limited cargobay, which thankfully can be solved using external extendable cargobays.
It appears to be unarmed, but you know very well that this probably isn't the case.

Spoiler: In depth explanation about Jumpdrives (click to show/hide)

The Jumpdrive is a curious and complicated technology. Centerpiece of every drive is the Jumpcore, a compact and highly advanced system that allows the manipulation of the time space continuum through the temporary creation of dark and exotic matter. The Energy required for these operation is enormous, but thanks to some clever tricks, only a fraction of that energy is actually used, with the most being temporally lend from surrounding space and/or the ship itself.

Jumpdrive components:

-Capacitor: The primary injector of power. Power is injected in the form of highly ionized plasma, which is stabilized by the compression coil
-Compression coil: Build into the casing of the drive. The compression coil stabilizes the plasma, keeping it contained between the inner and outer case untill the drive needs to activate. A failure of the compression coil is the most likely cause for a Jump drive accident, though it doesn't cause the worst accidents.
-Neutron annihilator: Uses a coherent stream of neutrons for a high efficiency transfer of matter to energy. The fact that most of the energy is released in the form of radiation is not important.
-The core: A small object, varying between 5-50 cm across. This intricate and high tech mechanism uses the enormous energies released to manipulate the fabric of time and space by the ((temporary)) creation of exotic and dark matter.

((Probably doesn't make much sense, but...))

An NGO wants you to bring humanitary aid towards the pirate controlled sectors in the libertitas system. Technically, the pirates are supposed to be quarantained and bereft of supplies, but the governement doesn't posses the force to maintain the blockade.

A Mining compagny is looking to hire people to find out what happened to it's mining outpost, which was located in one of the sectors taken over by the pirates. They also have security enforcement options for several other mining installations.

Some civilians are having problem with their spacestation. It was recently hit by a micrometeroid, and they need to gather a lot of spare parts for repairs.

You can probably gather more jobs near the black market, or somewhere else.

A large Alliance Cruiser, dating back to the war. Modified and refitted by the crew. The ship's painted in light blue, with several spots and stripes added to aid in visual deception. There are several fake spots on the wings, and stripes to make the ship appear longer. The Engines are painted in a blue/white combination, matching the color of the engine exhaust(in space, in the air it's quite obvious if the engines are on or not). The top bridge is flanked by 2 stars, painted in orange and black. On the sides, the name of the ship is painted in big friendly letters.

Offer to give him a lift, if he can find a place to park his craft in system. He can ride with us until he get's on his feet enough to replace the casing. In the meantime, let's go check out that mining outpost! Confirm the job and get further details. Enter navpoints for jump.
