Captain relaxing (Sarcophagus room)

The Captain smiles at Will as he walks in, motions to one of the other chairs.

"By all means my friend, sit, talk, you are always welcome here."

The smile shifts on Conrad's face, becoming a look of concern and of memories. He tapes his thigh a couple of times with his pipe.

"Now there is a difficult question, it was rough. We can pick up whoever we need for you or Trouble. You two are family. You will have to get the majority buy off from the crew. The condition I have is as a general rule your brother will have to stay on the planet except for unusual circumstances. Also, even if he is on the planet, Trouble still works and lives on Rose, and she will have to settle for training from him when we are in station."

Will watches the Captain, and listens to Rose before saying, "Firstly, Merry Maker is my brothers name. He's a damn good shaman, but full time fatherhood is not in his . . . skill set. Trouble would end up taking care of him, so this is not a way for me to find Trouble a new home. Second, I am not sure he's willing yet. If I read between the lines of his last transmission, I am thinking he's managed to run into some issues, and if he was offered a place on the base, that would be best for all of us. At the least, he'd keep an eye on the base for us, and like I said, he's a good shaman, and he is a good man. He just likes his fun, too, which is more the drinking, party type of thing, and there is a town and bar for that on planet."

"Additionally, Red Tooth, from the Band of Coal we met up with, is also willing to look at Trouble. If we can get Merry, Red, and Cesta in the same room, that would probably create a good outcome for everyone involved. Merry and Red also think they might have a lead on reducing or getting rid of bloodlust in Beastmen. Cesta already thinks it can be done, as well. Merry has a ritual he's been looking at trying, and Red says he needs some ingredients that I wold have to procure for him. If Merry, Red, and Cesta can work this out, that might be good for the crew to reduce the number of people on board the ship that are prone to violent bloodlust. . . Considering recent events. . . " Will trails off.

Will smiles, and says, "It's possible they might be able to sort it out for her as well. Cesta seemed to think it would be easier to deal with for Trouble and I, but who knows. If we can get all three of them to look at it, something might come up for her as well. I just need to wait and see what my brother says. I have a feeling he might need to be extracted, though. I have to do this every few years. Like I said, good man, good shaman, but sometimes he gets in his own way."

Will smiles, and says, "I will definitely check with the others. (Out of game, I'll have to do it tonight, because I think only Torie checks the forums, really.) I don't think they will need to live on ship. I just need to get their help figuring some of this out."
