![]() ![]() (if the Tenno is rank Old Mate) “I don’t think much of myself, if I’m honest. Ain’t nothin’ left but what’s behind your eyes. But, live with it long enough, truth is, the only thing you didn’t really lose was precisely who you are. I was my arms, I was my legs, I was that person. It happens, and you think you’ve lost yourself. (if the Tenno is rank Old Mate) “Modification’s a strange bird, Stardust. But I was the only one who stood back up.” We fell to this place together, he and I. (if the Tenno is rank Old Mate) “Love took me places, Stardust. (if the Tenno is rank Old Mate) “Ugh, Stardust, don’t even ask what kinda day Ticker’s having. (if the Tenno is rank Old Mate) “Well! Pump the brakes, look who it is! Stardust. Ticker’s gonna put the comm on the hook and take five. (if the Tenno is rank Old Mate) “Well well, if it isn’t my little spray of Stardust. I do so prefer dealing with clients face-to-face, but, you know, one doesn’t just give it up on the first date. (if the Tenno has just reached the rank Old Mate) “Ugh, finally. Anything that can’t survive scrutiny, shouldn’t.” “A person gets told a lot of things over the course of a life. “Sometimes strangers don’t know any better, but I swear to the Void… I do try to keep a lid on it, but sometimes the wrong thing just lets all the bats out.” “Best advice I was ever given? 'Ticker, you’ll be a lot happier once you stop caring about the opinions of a culture that is beneath you.’ I learned my worth, learned the places and people that matter. Still… like the man said… show me a hero and I’ll write you a Void-damned tragedy.” Every one of them workin’ against the impossible to make things right for them and theirs. “Ain’t no victims on these lists, Stardust. “I’ve never met a priest who could tell you anything about Heaven, but they knew every square inch of Hell. “It takes long winter nights to teach a girl how to cultivate within herself invincible summer days.” “Time’s running out for those on my books, Stardust. “Got good people hoping to see another sunrise. “Well well, here comes hope for the hopeless. ![]() That’s where Ticker comes in, ray of sunshine that she is.” “Don’t matter to Nef one whit if you’re an engineer or a lowly thrower. Ticker gets caught helping a repo? That’s me done, Stardust.” “Here’s the kicker for Ticker: the Temple teaches charity? Mortal sin. And when I ask you for help, you look me in my baby blues and say ‘yes’.” Now… I’d appreciate you keepin’ this little ol’ conversation to yourself. ![]() You buy some poor rig jockey’s debt, and they sidestep brain-shelving. So listen, and listen tight: my real line is debt forgiveness. Ticker can spot an ambidexter a block away, and, Stardust, you ain’t it. Look at you: a Tenno, fine, kind, and benign. (if the Tenno is new to Fortuna) “Well, well. “Every trinket a story! A story waiting to be shared, my lovely. “Hello, hello, hello! Old things looking for a new home at very reasonable prices. I hope you came here with credits and good intentions.” “The once-loved in need of a little TLC, Stardust. Let’s you and Ticker talk about giving something that once knew love a second lease on life.” “Odds and ends need love too, sweet thing. These are un-subtitled lines that Ticker says when she is not interacting with the Tenno. Like the other vendors in Fortuna, Ticker will reveal her true face, hidden in her chest compartment, when the Tenno reaches the rank of Old Mate with Solaris United. With these exchanges, it is possible for a Tenno to essentially buy Solaris United Standing with credits, by purchasing debt-bonds and then redeeming the debt-bonds for Standing. ![]() She also will receive debt-bonds to be traded directly for Standing with Solaris United. She sells Solaris-themed decorations for the Tenno to place in their Orbiters or Dojos, accepting debt-bonds as payment. In addition to the black-market debt-bond trading, Ticker also runs a shop called Ticker’s Secondhand as her cover job. Dossiers containing more valuable debt-bonds cost large amounts of credits as well as Vallis resources, while dossiers with more common debt-bonds can be purchased for low amounts of credits and standard Starchart resources, or sometimes no resources at all. The Tenno can view the dossiers and purchase them, clearing the Solaris individual of debt and receiving their debt-bonds, which can be used as commodities. She maintains dossiers of Solaris who are deep in debt and on the brink. Ticker is a Solaris woman who serves an important role in Fortuna’s economy: debt-bond trading. ![]()
