I came up with some ideas in a PM discussion with AC about interaction between Enng Ardde and Hackerman.
Show Content
Summary:
-Ardde just 'bribes' Hackerman into friendship with gifts.
Just random things that he's taken like some stone statue, a weird looking computer. Just things that happened to be present on ships he's raided.
-At some point Ardde might actually ask for something if he needs help with getting into something high security ship carrying some ultra rare archaeological find and request something like, "can you turn off the turrets?", "can you turn off the wall," "can you turn off the air?" etc. But that'd be a rare case
-Most of the interaction would be along the lines of
h: "okay thanks for the random stone fountain...where do I put it"
a: "I'll just put it next to the other masonry."
h: "okay thanks."
a: "okay."
and the entirety of the relationship is effectively just a really complicated bribe for a possible favor that rarely, if ever, gets called in.
they also probably avoid talking about things like open source babies.
Or even more summarized.
Ardde gifts Hackerman weird knick knacks to gain favors that are basically never cashed out. They're 'friends' in a very loose sense.
