Broker: Ah, Mr. Pilot, a pleasure you could make it. You're here about the platinum policy we've recently begun to offer...am I right?
[Broker and Pilot shake hands professionally, the Broker's power suit, power tie, rat-like features and wet fish handshake mark him as thoroughly Gallente]
Pilot: That's right buddy. I gots mah-self a brand-new Aypohcahlipse ship o' war right there, yessiree!
[Pilot sits in a black, leather chair across the broker's desk. A scantily clad exotic dancer brings in warm Quafe]
Broker: I see, a battleship. What would you plan on doing with your new vessel please Mr. Pilot?
Pilot: Why, WAR of course! What kinda dumb question is that?
Broker: Hmm...so you're at war then? Are losses expected to be....frequent?
Pilot: Hell yessir it is. We lose ships by the dozen. But don't you go worryin' now, I'm a mighty fine pilot, I'm gonna arm my baby to the teeth, not like the last 5 I darn gone and lost.
Broker: So in short sir, you are asking us to cover your 5th ship which you plan to take into battle, in the middle of war time, armed and almost certain to be lost?
[Broker is sweating, clammy and has spilt his quafe over his faux-wooden desk and power suit]
Pilot: Yessiree, you gone hit 'er on the head right there! How much will your policy go acostin' me? I ain't made o' no isk here.
Broker: I may have to get back you on that Mr. Pilot...have to crunch the numbers you understand. In the meantime, may I interest you in another drink?
[Broker signals and another veil-shrouded, curvaceous dancer brings in another tray, the drink this time a pale green colour]
Pilot: This un tastes mighty weird buddy.
Broker: It's a more acquired taste for the pallete Monsieur. Once you get past the nutty texture and the acidic aftertaste that is, but I'm positive a Caldari pilot such as yourself will....appreciate it.
[Pilot drops his empty cup and falls unconcious. Broker turns to dancing girl]
Broker: Get rid of him at once. We have a newbie coming here soon with his brand new Stabber...and I think I'll need a new suit. |
