"DABO!!!" Joyful shouting followed by cheers rose above the busy chatter and conversations filling Quark bar, one of the most popular bars and tourist locations in the quadrant. At one of the second floor tables Thrall, Vanessa and Tadashi all sat looking out at the open space below. Thrall was digging into some exotic looking pudding while Vanessa sipped at a glass of synthol. Tadashi meanwhile seemed lost in a data padd with his eyes reading over the words his drink barely touched.
"Babe if you don't drink and put that thing down imma punch you" Thrall said with a mouthful. "We've been here nearly 30 minutes and you've been reading that thing the entire time". Lowering the padd Tadashi sighed. "Sorry I'm just trying to be prepared for our next run. We apparently have three all in one. A trip back to the Gamma Quadrant to new bajor, then apparently we are delivering something to the founders then it's back into the beta quadrant to take a export shipment to Earth. That's a lot of traveling 3 days ain't alot to plan for that kinda trip. Gotta make sure we are fully stocked and supplied. Good news is the pay is gonna be double ". He sighed. "Jesus I thought we were just doing another run to new bajor not practically around the fucking galaxy" Vanessa commented. "Seriously Tadashi that's a long ass run with only three days to prep. Is bajor short cargo ships or something?" She continued on with Tadashi dropping the padd and pushing back his hair. "I don't know Vanessa that's why the pays so good. We're the only ship in their fleet that has that kind of range. The curse of the Miranda it wasn't called a workhorse for nothing but it's fine. I'll have Xall start meeting with the stations engineer and gather what we need for engineering make what ever updates or touch ups that are needed. Vanessa you and Sato get with the quartermaster and figure out what we need in terms of supplies " taking his drink he guzxled it down before standing up. "I'm going to meet with the ministry and figure out if the can lessen the pressure"
The two nodded and finished their drinks before standing up
In one of the stations many conference rooms Tadashi sat silently as a Bajoran official looked over a data padd. "I know it's a large contract Mr Ito but right now we have three cargo ships out of commission and 2 captains pulled their contact last minute. The Hiyashi is the only ship we have that we can trust to get the job done. It's also why we increased the base pay so generously. We can allow proper rest between deliveries but otherwise per your contract you are obligated to perform these shipments I'm sorry I can't do anything else" the Official spoke
"I understand I had to ask because my crew is hesitant, especially with only three days to prepare." The official gave another nod before leaning back in his chair. "if it helps I can see about pushing back your departure one more day but that's the best I'm going to be able to do unfortunately. " He replied.
"That would help. Thank you for your time sir we'll be ready" giving a short how Tadashi exited the conference room to check on his crew. They had alot of work to do
