Just Another Job (Prelude) - Part 1

[suspenseful music] [door opening and closing] Is it coming? Yes, sir. Is this your first time speaking to a Nerpian in person, Admiral? Yes. Is there anything I should know about negotiating with it? Nerpians give off odors to express emotion. Wet dog smell means they're happy. Sour apple means they're mad. And don't be alarmed if it touches you. They do that a lot. Oh, the Nerpian is here. [door opening] Why, hello, Ambassador. Please take a seat. Thank you, Commander. You may leave. [door closing] Capi told you what I'm interested in, correct? Yes. I am prepared to provide what you request. Yes, well, in exchange, I am willing to offer you two tons of pure cerium. I require a metallic hydrogen crystal power supply. Oh. Well, I'm not sure if we have a power supply like that. You do, on an outpost near Semien space. You wouldn't rather have two tons of pure cerium? A metallic hydrogen crystal power supply. I, [sniffs] sour apples. Fine. I'll get you your power supply, but under the condition that you don't speak a word of this to anyone. My speaking will be the last thing you need to worry about. [outro music]
