Rifts - EotC - Silvereno
Re: Rifts - EotC - Silvereno
Shep discovers that they have a deal on rail gun rounds, which may be the same ones that are used in his power armor; 800 credits for weapon drum refill or 1000 credits for a whole new, fully loaded weapon drum. He pauses on the rail gun listing. oO(Good to know for next time. Current drum is full, but if I'm going to be traveling regularly, a spare might be worth budgeting for eventually)Oo He makes a mental note of the pricing and moves on. Instead he thumbs past that and looks to see how much it would cost to replace the neural mace and grenades.
He finds the prices:
Grenades:
50 credits for smoke.
200 credits for light explosive.
250 credits for fragmentation.
275 credits for high explosive.
350 credits for plasma.
Neural Mace: 8000 credits for a brand new one. 5000 credits for a functional well used one.
The woman behind the counter smiles, pointing at the reduced mace price, "Most people pick that one. They know the mace will work."

"A little outside my budget right now, but I haven't gotten paid for my current job yet, so we'll see." Shep gives her a small smile. "I'll take a couple smoke grenades and a frag for now. Can you stow them on the Silver power armor in the shop? Monkey knows which one."

"Yes, sir," she has a pleasant smile and almost perfect white teeth. Unusual... "Anything else you would like? We have complimentary chili today," she points to a waiting room, where patrons and workers are eagerly lined up with paper bowls.

"I think I'll take you up on that." He gives her a nod and heads toward the line. oO( Those teeth are almost too perfect. Don't seem natural. None of my business, though. )Oo He grabs a paper bowl and falls in at the end, figuring a few minutes with the other patrons was worth something. oO( If I'm going to keep doing this kind of work, I need to start setting credits aside for gear. A few jobs from now that mace won't seem so expensive. )Oo

A man with two metal arms is ahead of him, trying carefully not to crush his wooden spoon and paper bowl. Eventually, Shep makes it to the table, dishes up his chili, adds an assortment of cheese, minced onion, bacon bits and a small sliver of cinnamon roll on the side. He follows the man to a large cafeteria, where the workers and patrons enjoy the food.
As Shep sits to eat, an attractive, slender woman with a sleeve of interesting tattoos up one of her arms, sits across from him. Her hair is dyed light blue, matching her eyes. She nods towards his plate, noticing he dressed his chili exactly like hers, "I like your style," as she takes a bite, "I'm Betty. She reaches across the table to shake his hand. Her hands look strong, yet feminine. She adjusts her grease stained tank top as to try and be modest, yet shows enough cleavage to be a spectacle all along the table.
Off to one side, several homeless families gratefully fall into line for food.

"I go by Shep," he says, reaching across to take her hand. "Pleasure to meet you." He glances at the tattoos. "Nice artwork. I've never gotten any... ink... done myself." He wasn't sure that was the right word, but it was out now. His eyes drift briefly to the homeless families lining up for bowls, and something settles in him. He's glad he'd spent his money somewhere that does this. He turns back to Betty. "So, what do you work on?"

She grins, looking down at the grease caked under her fingernails, with similarly smudged cheeks, she replies, "I groom poodles and poodleboys." She waits a moment for it to sink in, then laughs, "I'm a mechanic," she nods to Shep, "You?"

He glances at her hands with a small smile. "Figured as much." He takes a bite before continuing. "Do you specialize or just take what comes through the door?" He sets down his spoon. "Me, I'm a wanderer, mostly. Take the odd job where I can find it. My current employer had business in Silvereno, so I provided security for the trip out and back."

The chili is amazing! Even better than what Margaret used to serve at the Eagle Cafe. May she rest in peace.
She smiles, "I mostly deal with diesel and regular gas engines, but I can work on just about anything. Even battle bots and power armor. But... business is a little slow this time of year." Her eyes light up at her second bite of chili, catching a massive clump of cheddar cheese. "Oh wow!" she comments, then looks back up, her almost steely blue eyes tend to pierce, "Your boss need a mechanic? I've been wanting to travel."

"If you're interested in traveling, he's probably not your best bet. This is just a regular round trip for him." He pauses while he considers his next words. "I'll mention it to him. If you're going to be around tomorrow, he or one of his guys can track you down."
