"Oh, excuse me Captain," the clerk responded before standing up and walking through a back door. She returned five minutes later,

"The chief of foreign exports, accompanied by an intelligence specialist, is on his way and should arrive in about twenty minutes, would you like coffee while you wait?"

*Looks at the clerk and smiles he turns to drool over more of the pictures, and then turns to look back at the girl*

McQue: Coffee would be wonderful... *looks around at the pictures of the ships on the wall* You know it figures Ulonov would assign me to our wooden fleet... He has never liked me... I'm going to see if I can get a new Romanov Battleship....

*walks up to clerk counter and leans over and looks the girl in the eyes*

So... what is a nice girl like you doing in a place like this?

OOC- LoL...

"Don't start with me buddy," the clerk responded with an evil grin, "I work with sailors on a day to day basis...I know all about the moving from 'port' to 'port'. How would you like your coffee?"

*he winks at the girl*

McQue: Black with a little bit of whisky if ya got it... *looks at her as she walks off shaking her "Essentials"*

See the difference is hun I'm a captian.... and captains don't have to have a girl in every port... I stay true to my women. *He smiles and looks enticingly at her* So what are these guys like? That I'm supposed to talk to... *watches her making the coffee* So can I give you a call next time I'm in port?

OOC: Lol yes.. :-D

"Frankly I don't care what rank you are," the eighteen year-old clerk said with her back turned towards him, "You are, or were at some point, still a sailor and old habits die hard. The people you'll be meeting with is my boss, the Chief of Foreign Exports, and intelligence officer specializing in piracy, and I believe you might just be graced with the presence of Fleet Admiral Lance Sterling, Minister of the Veritasean Imperial Navy."

"Here you go," she said after tossing her long black hair behind her shoulders and turning back to face him with a cup of coffee in her hands. Just then the sound of tires on gravel floated in through the open door. Through the windows, the pair could see a long black limousine had pulled up. The driver opened one of its doors and three men stepped out. The first was the somewhat nerdy Cheif of Foreign Exports, Mr. Theodore Kingsley. The second was a tall, thin man in his mid-twenties, intelligence officer Ryan Corpley. The final man to step out of the limousine was a large man who appeared to have played football back in his college days. He wore a sparkling white naval officer's uniform with countless decorations on his chest and five stars on each of his lapels. This was Fleet Admiral/Minister Lance Sterling, and as soon as he stepped into the dimly lit store the young clerk ran straight up to him and threw her arms around his neck.

"Oh, Daddy, you've come to visit me!"

*McQue Straigtens his uniform and swallows hard realizing that he had just been hitting on the Admirals daughter, as hot as she may be, not exactly a career advancement move, especialy if he at sometime wanted to get off of the damn rickety rafts that Ulonov had relegated him to, he turns and Sharply Salutes the Admiral and shakes hands with Kinglsy and Corply*

McQue: Hello gentleman, my name is Captain John McQue of Edenstein, I have been sent here to purchase a few ships, and also, look into reports that some pirates.... Erm I mean, people of questionable charecter has purchased a vessel from your government and is now maurading around the LETI region hell bent on undermining the powers that be and interupting commerace... we would like any information that you could give us.

*McQue takes another look at the clerk, and inside drools over her almost as much as the picture of the Carrier on the wall*

*bump*

OOC-Do you have a link to whatever happened? Also, sorry for the delay; prom (enough said).

"Its a pleasure to meet you," Minister Sterling replied, with a bit of a stony look at the young sailor, "I'm sure we can find the records of this purchase, but we'll need to know what nation the individuals hailed from first."
