[color=#6666CC;]"Excellent, "[/color] said Gryff looking at the positions vacant. [color=#6666CC;]"Would it be possible to get a tour of the yard and to see these ships....we need to choose carefully...we do need our privacy, especially on board the ships?"[/color] she asked the bwap politely.

[kropotkin41]

'Privacy?' the bwap queries, still not quite getting the point it seems. 'Well, if you find a post that you are interested in, then press, "Apply" on the screen and I will contact the employers for you, that may elicit an immediate response, it may not. I will do what I can. You will find some details of the employers on file there, but they are not to be contacted directly by you. As for a tour, if you apply for a yard job you would certainly have a tour, but I do not have the authority to organise one, that would be the duty of "Sophont Resources".

[color=#6666CC;]"Who do we need to speak to for a tour of the yard? "[/color] asks Gryff [color=#6666CC;]"or are you able to sort that out for us?"[/color]

[kropotkin41]

You are not sure, because bwap expressions are not all that easy to read, but you think that the clerk is showing signs of exasperation; she clicks her tongue against the roof of her mouth and says 'If you want to see the yard then I suggest strongly that you apply for the jobs on the yard itself.' She points at the screen adding 'There are two there! Press "Apply"!' She adds a final click and walks away to another counter.

[color=#6666CC;]"Jeez.."[/color] sighed Gryff with an internal grin, she pressed the apply button and wondered what would happen next...

[kropotkin41]

Your application has been submitted. You will be contacted shortly. Should you leave the shipyard for a time you may collect any messages left for you at this office. Thank you for your application.

'Oh' Renno says, 'What do we do now Gryff?'

Now the bwap had turned its attention away, Gryff looked at the jobs on the ships looking for kreegs name on any of the adverts. She also looked for mention of a brand new ship being built here...just to see if they were looking for crew. [color=#6666CC;]"What do we do now Renno?"[/color] Gryff shrugged, [color=#6666CC;]"I say we make a pain of ourselves until someone comes to leave us some info."[/color] She pushes him against the wall of the office and kisses him passionately, letting his hands roam beneath his top...hoping someone comes to get rid of them before things got too 'heated'

[kropotkin41]

'Umm, excuse me' comes the almost immediate intervention of the bwap, 'but may I ask what you are doing?'

The bwap is clearly flustered, even more so than Renno who, not to put too fine a point on it, doesn't know if he is coming or going!

Before launching into the public molestation of the young mechanic, Gryff had found out that the job on the mining station is actually a post on a station belonging to one Mr J Kreeg & Co.

[color=#6666CC;]"What?"[/color] asked gryff in mock innocence, [color=#6666CC;]"We applied for the yard job. We want to have a look round, how long is it going to take for us to be able to get a tour? We were just keeping ourselves amused until the fella came to show us round."[/color]

[kropotkin41]

The bwap raises a long and somewhat moist grey finger saying 'Listen to me very carefully please: I do not know when you will receive a response, it may be in two minutes, it may be in a few hours; as it is the yard job I am sure that it will not be long. In the meantime, you are not authorised to mate in this office, your unseemly behaviour is likely to upset someone.'

[fury]

Gryff nodded seriously and led Renno out of the office. When out of earshot she laughed, [color=#6666CC;]"Sorry...I had hoped some inappropriate behaviour would make her speed things up a little. Obviously it didn't work. Lets go get something to eat and peruse the shops before going back and seeing if we have a reply. "[/color] She kissed his hand, [color=#6666CC;]"Hope I didn't embaress you too much...you are just so irresistable."[/color]

[kropotkin41]

Renno is red-faced, but clearly exalting in what seems to him the most daring behaviour of his life-to-date.

As Gryff and the young mechanic make their way down the Main Concourse, they soon notice Dr Stettler, Arrago and Shraneal standing, apparently somewhat uneasily outside of a small restaurant.

Cross-over and post on the Stettler thread provisionally..... I shall leave this one open for when you and Renno are next alone.
