Background

The crew of the Krait are on the homeward leg of Rubins last trip before mustering out, at present they are on Vanenjen awaiting a passenger who will arrive in a few days.

Vanenjen is classified as a Rich word, an ex-Navy dockyard on a nearby satellite sells unrefined fuel but streamlined craft are able to top up their tanks planetside as the surface is 62% water (although 1/3 is ice).
There are four major continents, three of which are populated by humans while the fourth Avios is inhabited by the semi-intelligent indiginous Chirpers.
World tech level is that of 1930s Earth.

With time to kill everyone has found a good pub in Garner, the capitol city of Teledu, Vanenjens largest continent and are settled in for the afternoon.

The main topic of conversation is what Rubin will do once he is out, Elaine Yates has decided to leave the service as well and has asked if she could join his new ship, a 100t Scout/Courier that he will receive as a mustering out bonus.
