Got the set up for Prometheans done and the game in motion, so that's out of the way. Now, I just need to go do this fireworks thing with my family and, wehn i get home, I can jump back into posting for everything else to which I owe posts.


Have a Sam post later tonight or tomorrow morning, at latest.

The Town

The nearby town is sandwiched between four major hubs of activity; the Spaceport (North), The Scrapyard and Metal Reclamation Plant (West), the Stockyards (East) and the Co-op Store (South). Because things on Whitefall are so far apart, the town grew out of necessity as people needed a place to stay, a place to eat, somewhere to have fun and so it was that the town was named "Necessity". Necessity has one main street and two subdivisions of residences. There are three taverns (The Wreakage (for haulers), the Red Dog Inn (locals) and the Slaughterhouse (Ranchers and Farmers)) and four Hotels ranging from Pricey, Not Bad, Basic and Really Cheap. There is a general store, a barber, a blacksmith, a print/communication shop called the Array, a barrister office, and two banks, plus an assortment of other shops. One end of town there is a large church and on the opposite side of main street is the brothel called the Dew Drop Inn. There is a sheriff with some deputies but he takes money from patience and reports everything to her so people around here sort out their own problems and the graveyard is outside the town.

Spaceport: It is a good 10 miles from town. The only place in town to get hydrogen cells filled at about double what it costs usually. Mostly scrap haulers are parked here now. Dockage fees here are also high and the service fees for flush and fresh are ludicrous. This is Patience territory for sure. A man named Bob runs a "bus" system going to and from the Spaceport which is basically a wagon hitched to two horses and hay bales for seats. He charges a platinum a trip (including return) and if you don't like his prices - walk.

Scrapyard: Not the most efficient scrappage business in the Verse, mostly because the facility to reclaim the metal is too small for the volume, but the owner keep buying so the metal is piling up. If you want to poke around for parts, the owner will let you for a fee and you can take out whatever you can carry in your arms.

The Stockyards: Where everyone in the area brings the cattle to the sold and processed.

The Co-op Store: This is not a general store but the wholesale operation of the Rancher's Lodge to buy the items you need for ranching and farming as a group without going through Patience's upcharges and taxes. She tried to legally get it shut down and lost - even had to pay the legal fees even though she hasn't yet. Consists of a large building and several silos.

...I like it.

Post for Dash is in the works... have it tacked on shortly.

Dash is heading back to Rocinante to deliver food to Ma... unless someone stops him for some reason.

The Spanish Inquisition awaits Sam, in hiding.

They can inquire all they want... but Sam don't speak Spanish!

Trouble does indeed find Sam Dash all of its own accord.

Just curious about the girl mechanic that I remembered last night that Fenris spent time with on one of our visited planets. Would I still be able to have contact with her and should she not be on the contact list? She is in a good position to give us head's up on comings and goings.

I will have to look her up but I am not sure what comings and going you would think she would know.

Stacey Tam was the Space Port Foreman on Beylix - Newhouse.

Beylix is in the Kalidasa System, and Whitefall (a moon of Athens)is in the Georgia System so you are literally a solar system away. I will add her to the list of contacts for you.

just added a small invite to Wolf from Eagle-Eye. You can take it or not, up to you.

check out this link if you want to see how the verse is laid out. There is another book (Numbers in the Verse?) that is 335 pages long and goes into a lot of detail.

I'm stealin' it!
