“Alright, Gnat. The frigate is seriously damaged, and I estimate its worth in this state to be no more than one million two hundred thousand crystals. That is what’s shown in the first line. Kung Waid Shishish gave the trophy not to one individual, but to everyone who took part in capturing it, so I gave everyone a fair share of that. But as commander, I figured you deserve twice as much. Good thing the Medic left us, because you just got his share.”

“I understand the first column, but what about the second?” I asked, pointing to the broken lines of Geckho meaning “one hundred thousand” and “fifty thousand.”

Uline was clearly glad that I didn’t have any questions about the first part, and explained eagerly:

“Gnat, to repair the starship we need investments, and pretty hefty ones at that. We each got a bag of crystals as a reward for our heroism on the planetoid, so we can use those funds for the repair. I managed to talk with everyone besides Tini and Ayukh and none of them are willing to spend their money for the common cause. I am intending to spend my fifty thousand on the repair, though, which I indicated in the table. Opposite your name, I put one hundred thousand, which is if you agree to add not only the Medic’s money but some of your own as well.”

“Let’s call that good,” I said not wanting to dispute it, even though I wasn’t happy with all the Trader’s judgements. Then I asked to go to the next column.

The Trader gave a rumble of satisfaction and made sure the door was closed and no one was listening then set six heavy bags on a shelf.

“These are the crystals I took off the Shiamiru before it was destroyed. Of course this is probably more Clan Tar-Layneh’s money than mine... But no one is going to find out except you. There are three million four hundred thousand crystals here. Beyond that, I have another two hundred forty thousand in a bank account. And I am prepared to invest all this cash in repairing the frigate. Thus, my total investment in the ship came to three million seven-hundred ninety thousand crystals, and that is no more and no less than seventy-six percent of the total. And thus, that is the share of the future profits I lay claim to. As I do to the dominating portion of votes. Your percentage of the profits comes to six percent. That’s three times more than any other team member! To my eye, it’s all fair. What do you say, Gerd Gnat?”

Mental Fortitude skill increased to level forty-nine!

No, she wasn’t trying to use mind control, although it was close. The Trader was speaking so coherently and confidently it pained me. Uline clearly believed she was acting honestly and considered her offer fair and beneficial to all. Before answering, I took a deep sigh and mentally counted to ten to calm myself and not raise my voice to my great but quirky friend.
