NPCAn entire group of people salutes you. Most of them — an escort of honour consisting of members of retinues, associates, secretaries, bodyguards, and assorted others — bow deeply to you and shout their greetings, making a lot of noise. It appears the news of your impending departure has already spread throughout the station.
YOU"Have you come to wish me good luck, Vladaym?"
Vladaym Tocara the Liege"Why, of course. No business partner of the Kasballica Mission is more reliable or more lucrative than Your Lord/Ladyship. Therefore, accept this gift and others that will be delivered to your ship as investments in your success."
YOU"A word of advice: give up smuggling and take care of Footfall instead. Or you will end up on the gallows after all."
Vladaym Tocara the Liege"Thank you for the warning, Your Lord/Ladyship."

YOU"Octaviana, the Amasecus is going to have to get by without my tips for a while."
Octaviana"It's all right. You've been a generous tipper, so we're not doing too badly. And not just we as in the Amasecus... The organisation I represent — you know which one — has also prospered thanks to its deals with you. And my partners would like to contribute their investments to your expedition. The supplies are being loaded into your ship's hold, and this is a personal gift to you from the Kasballica Mission."
YOU"You really ought to give up the smuggling. Or you'll end up like someone we both know."
Octaviana"Thank you for the warning, Your Lord/Ladyship. After Vladaym's trial, I don't exactly find him an inspiring example. The more time passes, the more I appreciate the opportunity to be a simple bartender."

YOU"Is blessing me the only thing you're here to do, Hieronymus?"
Hieronymus Doloroso"And to pledge my help. Go forth without fear. The Cult of Saint Drusus will watch over your subjects' faith. You are one of the pillars of faith in the Expanse, and thus it would not be appropriate to see you off to the ungodly dark morass between the stars without a gift. Other and lesser offerings will be delivered to your ship, so that you may have no want of anything on your journey."
YOU"May the Emperor help you in your undertaking."
Hieronymus Doloroso"Keep the faith, young von Valancius. The Expanse needs your faith."

YOU"Is blessing me the only thing you're here to do, Chaplain?"
Chaplain"To promise something, too. My mission will look after your subjects. You've done us a lot of good, and it would be unrighteous not to repay you in kind. Members of my congregation are already loading supplies to your ship. And I have a personal gift of appreciation for you from the Cult of Saint Drusus. With people like you, this God-Emperor-forsaken corner of the universe still has a chance to become a fine place."
YOU"May the Emperor help you in your undertaking."
Chaplain"May Drusus the Warrior grant you good fortune in battle. And good thrust to your engines."

Ryzza"Business. It's a custom among the Fellowship of the Void never to see a friend off on a long and dangerous expedition without gifts. The supplies are being loaded to your ship as we speak, and this... this is from old Ryzza personally."
YOU"Just know that when I am back, I will cleanse the Expanse of the Archenemy's servants. And you had better not be among them."
Ryzza"Ahem... I've lived too long to take such suggestions seriously anymore. Thank you for your concern, Your Lord/Ladyship. I will bear it in mind."

NPCA multitude of voices answers you with good luck wishes, blessings, parting advice, and words of respect — shouting over each other but alike in their sincerity. For a second, you feel especially clearly that you likely will not see any of these people ever again.
