Welcome to the CL Dutchman !!
The year is 2380. The Gamma Quadrant is in disarray after the Dominion surrendered 5 years ago to the Federation. With the Dominion now a former shadow of itself, their ability to control territory has dwindled and privateers have found vast opportunities for profit within the quadrant. Many have come and gone through the wormhole in search of vast opportunities. With seemingly no one to stop those that choose to do as they please, there is chaos outside of the primary shipping lanes.
Now with a new ship and looking for crew, Zedd Sykes is out to make untold fortunes, considering all jobs from standard cargo runs and selling illegal technology, to straight up piracy on other ships should it be necessary!!
The question is, will you join him ?!?!?!??!

He turned back to Fletcher, noticing the way he had already started clearing the tools toward his side of the table, not fussing, not making a performance of it, just giving him space because space needed giving. Ragnar gave him a small nod, the closest thing to thanks without making either of them suffer through one. “Don’t clear up your puzzle pieces on my account,” he said, glancing at the module, weighing up how much Captain Zedd had already told him. “I’m your new Combat Lead.”
"It's an old habit, I'll make sure to keep our shared area clear. Just…

Cormus had been in his quarters for about twenty minutes which was roughly nineteen minutes longer than he usually lasted before finding somewhere else to be. He had changed out of his flight jacket into a plain dark shirt and was sitting at the small table in the shared center space of the room with a half disassembled thruster control module spread out in front of him, not because it needed work but because his hands needed something to do and the alternative was lying on his bunk staring at the ceiling thinking about the debris field simulation he had…

“Fifteen percent if I do not broker the deal myself. Eighteen if I do. If I provide a contract that is used, I will expect between five and ten percent of that as well as a fee, depending on what it is.” She picked up one of the grapes in front of them and took a slow bite.
It was a steep but fair counter offer in truth. If keeping the lights on meant ensuring everyone got paid comparably, Zedd would accept the offer. After all, there wasn’t much in the way of leads as with was and what was…

When he pressed, the warmth in Tiraa’s expression cooled considerably and she pursed her lips; she looked at him as if she were rethinking the entire plan for a moment. “Business is not something to be rushed, Captain. If you have somewhere else you need to be, by all means…”
He gave her a grin in response “So what business is it that you would like to discuss then?” At this point he decided to lean into a bit of charm taking the seat next to her and leaning forward a bit. “It’s obvious I’m not going anywhere, I don’t…

“It may please you to know that I have been gathering quite a few connections in the Gamma Quadrant, but one can only do so much from afar. It is time for me to forge those connections face to face, and I do believe you might be the man to facilitate that goal.”
“Face to face, as in you going there yourself? I mean, if you want to make those connections in person, I'm not one to stop you. Im guessing that means you want to do it on board the Dutchman.” He hadn't exactly planned on taking around passengers…
