"So how much?"
-
"How much are you willing to pay me?"
-
[b]He held up his hand, and pulled out a wallet. He pulled out nine intergalactic credits [/b] "This is all I got."
-
"Uh, how much is this worth in Earth money?"
-
"In dollars? Like 12."
-
"That is good for maybe ten minutes. I doubt that is what you were looking for, though. Just give me that money and some of your best gear and I'll help."
-
"Only gear I'm willing to give up us this" [b]He drew a rackety old. 357 revolver [/b]
-
"You train the dojo guard. Don't you have access to some armory?"
-
"Not for giving away."
-
"Would any of the guards that I might rescue have things to give?"
-
"If there are any to rescue, then possibly"
-
"Ok, just give me that gun and the money and I am in."
-
[b]He handed the money and gun over [/b]
-
"Great. So any idea were the guards might be?"
-
"Yeah, an island 25 or so miles to the east of here."
-
"Well then let's get going!"
-
"You wouldn't happen to have a ship, would you?"
-
"All I have is a small house, the clothes on my back, and a few guns."
-
"We'll have to steal one then!'
-
"Works with me. Where and who are we stealing from?"
-
"More like borrowing actually, from a man by the name of Captain Allister."
-
"So how much?"
