"Two-hundred million credits a year," Mel told her sister-in-law. "That's for a minimum of one hundred dockings per annum with unlimited cargo. That's a bargain, Salli."

"Not in," Mel hedged. "Look, do you have any idea how much profit I can make shipping spiralwood back home if I'm doing it myself?"

"One hundred fifty per year," Salli declared, after a pause. "And you give me ten percent of your profit from the spiralwood. Gross."

"Done, damnit," she grumbled.
