Traveling to Moon Base Liberty
💳 Ciarán A call arrived with a special offer for the "scenic trip to your destination, using up the last of your pre-paid credits" [by Hamm]. A fax of the contract/info arrives, and on it there's a hand-written note about Moonbase Liberty not exactly being available right now because it's under US blockade. We searched the ship, and found that we had a US Space Command transponder to land as USS Joseph Smith, with the copilot of the name Leia (registered as Hawaiian). We changed our colors and were able to get through the blockade.
🎲 DM: The blockade of Moon Base Liberty was the USS America, the USS Constitution, and the newly minted US warship, the USS Kissenger.
Delivering “the Script”
💳 Ciarán Quinn get arrested on arrival. I stayed with them long enough to make sure they were safe (apparently Quinn's mother is Montoya -- of *that* Montoya family -- and does this kind of stunt all the time. Louis was forbidden to work under import restrictions. John did his usual "disappearing on the job". Which left ME to drag our delivery to where it needed to go. Since the red-white-and-blue isn't so jolly here, I transferred the delivery into my own suitcases (thanks, CIA, for buying me luggage -- twice!) and dragged them toward our destination while waiting for someone, anyone, to join me in handing it over.
The delivery is going to a person named Morgan, who is one of Quinn's old acquaintances and onetime betrothed. They were quite surprised to see one another (MBL isn't that big!), but more in the situation. They made a date for later. The faces Quinn keeps making are... conflicted. Morgan promises to arrange a meet-and-greet with her next point of contact up.

Dinner at Luna's Liberty
💳 Ciarán Feeling odd while the two of them are dating, I chat with Cotton, Quinn's butler/keeper/minder. I convince Cotton it's OK to ditch them and take him to some Company joints and have him run up quite the bill on the Montoya family charge card.
We take up passengers (one being Cotton) and cargo and head to our next destination.
