Accept. Decent offer.

[xtank5]

Haggle it down to 60% of our chaingun ammo plus whatever else they asked and then accept.
In other words, keep an extra 10% of the chaingun ammo.
We're going to need ammo for our guys too you know.

[filiusenox]

"How about %65 of our ammo?"
The male Darlat looks confused.
"This is a Colonizer ship right?"
"Yes..."
"Do you have a loom onboard?"
What do you say?

[Weirdsound]

"Yeah. Not sure it's in working order though. What is it worth to you?"

(What does a loom do for non Darlat races?)

[filiusenox]

((Its basically a cloning machine. It creates new thing from the genetic markers of two different specimens. Its been used before to rebuild entire races. But it sometimes may lead to horrible mutations or health problems. Darlats are the inventors or discoverers they really don't tell.))
"Yes but it isn't in working order."
His eyes light up.
"I give you five dozen Ghant "Prisoners" in return for it and plus i'll cut the price down to %60 of your ammo for the other stuff."

What do you do?

[Furtuka]

Ghants?

[Tarran]

Ghants?

[xtank5]

"Ahhh, we actually kind of need it...  You know, lost homeworld and all..."
Of course, I assume it's hard to make or get one, judging by how badly they want a broken one.  Maybe if they help us figure out how to make our own?  Or solve our tremor problem.  Or just decline the offer and go for 70% of our ammo stores.

((They are green-furred and have three fingers on each hand. They are roughly 1.5 meters In height. They can turn the most crummiest food supplies into alcohol of the best variety.
They feed off of alcohol and are basically pacifists making them great for raider ships.))
((They are hard to rebuild and find. Only legal Darlat colonization ships come with one.))

[Furtuka]

Say that we need to discuss this with the crew and check if anyone knows how to make a loom

[Tarran]

Personally, I think having alcohol makers is rubbish for survival.

Tell him that we have no use for alcohol and ask him if there's anything else he can offer besides Ghants for the loom.

[Taricus]

Tell him that we have no use for alcohol and ask him if there's anything else he can offer besides Ghants for the loom.

[Aklyon]

Probably a bit late, but that strange urge to strangle someone reminded me of what happens in the Geneforge series when you use too many canisters.

Ask if theres anything else he'd give us for the loom instead. (otherwise go with xtank's idea)

[Weirdsound]

Tell him that we have no use for alcohol and ask him if there's anything else he can offer besides Ghants for the loom.

Ghants will make a great gift for the fledgling civilization when we make first contact. If we get on good terms with these pirates one of two things will likely happen.

1: They will spread the word that our colony is a good place to dump good aquired in a less than legal manner, resulting in trade opportunities.

2: They turn out to be privateers. They inform the government they report to of our presence and we get traders.

Of course they could also kill us the instant we hand over our fission bombs. But I like to think optimistically. Either way we will find a chance to trade for another loom later. Right now we realy need the landers and fuel. It would be great if we can get them to throw in some more probes too.

"I need to discuss this with the crew."
After about ten minutes of you asking if anybody has any experince on a loom you return to the Darlat.
"What else can you offer for it? We really don't need alcohol makers-"
He seems deseperate to get his hands on one.
"FINE. Three industrial kits, three dozen ghants, and %62 of your ammo for the other stuff."


What do you say?

((I would suggest being nice to him.))
