["What do you think of something like this?"]
 
["Until such time as the Plague is eliminated on this planet, you and your crew will agree to provide lethal military aid to defend against the enemies of the Line of Sol, both foreign and domestic, including but not limited to the Plague.  You will also surrender 50% of the value of the salable goods on this vessel for the purposes of purchasing additional military aid and financing infrastructure improvements.  In return, the state will make every effort to repair your ship, guarantee you and your crew a fair wage when an economy is established (with back wages paid at that time as well), and the state will also repay you before the end of your service for the seized goods.  If you would like to settle down here in peacetime, I will provide you and your crew with generous plots of land."] 

["Is that asking for too much or too little?"]

[King Zultan]

Sounds good to me.

[19_EgarAlnis]

["It sounds fair to me. He'll have to get approval from his people-- and you should let a team of bookkeepers do the fine details, but as a statement of intent, it's a start. I'd advise salable goods to be goods kept in the common trust -- he doesn't have control over people's personal finance and property as a Captain."]

[Superdorf]

Excellent-- time to put the matter to speech, then. The Doctor's words will do fine, with a brief addendum to define what's "salable".

[ZBridges]

How does this sound?

["Thanks, Cephie."]

"Captain, what do you think of these terms?  This isn't the contract in full so much as a statement of intent to be fleshed out later.  Feel free to take some time to get approval from your crew."

We’ll need to unfreeze the crew

[ZBridges]

It's his ship, so I think we should leave him to decide when to unfeeeze them and discuss the offer.

"Mineral and Energy claims and rights would sweeten the pot, so to speak-- I'm not planning on fleecing ya'll, but we'll need those too."

"Mineral and Energy claims and rights would sweeten the pot, so to speak-- I'm not planning on fleecing ya'll, but we'll need those too."

we will give them too. The goal is plague elimination, ideally while keeping the rest of the biosphere intact

[ZBridges]

Hold on, energy and mineral claims for the entire planet?

[19_EgarAlnis]

["A percentage or a notable region of concentration. He might have planet survey data we don't ...Which means it's valuable. Otherwise he wouldn't have brought it up...but he's trading in good faith by not worming it into the final contract. SEEDed planets are usually very close to Old Earth's, if not paradise worlds. SEEDs are very precise like that."]

[ZBridges]

["Would 25% of all energy and minerals be a decent offer?"  We could haggle with him a bit."]

[19_EgarAlnis]

["Statement of intent -- Let the bookies figure out the math. Ask for data. It would make the trading fair."]

[ZBridges]

["Got it."]

"Can you provide the planet survey data?  I would be fine with that request, but let's share information so that the deal can be worked out in good faith."
