Alright--to keep things simple, then, I'll go with the majority vote of Engines and Comms.

Updated Stats:
[hider=Crew Stats]
[b]Crew Quality:[/b] 0/3 

[b]Comms:[/b] 3/4

[list][*] Grappler Arm ([i]Officially for latching onto asteroids and netting cargo, it's an array of nets, grappling lines, and arms that can tie two vessels together for towing or boarding. Legal.[/i]) [/list]

[/hider]

Next we get into some actual roleplaying, albeit at a remove. The [b]Wreckers[/b]--a gang of scavengers who provoke battles between other factions and then swoop in to pick over the wreckage--helped you out with the parts and expertise for the upgrades to your engines and sensors, out of their spare parts stocks. 

In return, did you:
[list][*] [b]Pay them off[/b]--it was purely a business transaction. [u]Lose 1 CRED[/u].
[*] [b]Owe them one[/b]--instead of exchanging money, you exchanged favors. [u]Gain +1 status[/u] with the Wreckers--but you'll owe them a one, and they'll call in that marker at some point.
[*] [b]Stiff them[/b]--it's their fault they didn't take payment up front. [u]Lose -1 status[/u] with the Wreckers.[/list]
