This is the best thing that ever happened to them! They got off the hive-world, got to eat something that didn't taste like death, and now they have money! Woo! No matter how hard he is paying attention, Astra should be able to feel the elation rolling off his sister in waves.
The ringing stops for a moment and Psi looks thoughtful. "Analyzing possibilities. Possibility number 1: Selling the bell. This would require Unit to engage in commerce. Unit is fully equipped to do so, but is currently only engaging in 'fundraising'. Overriding would be required.

Accepted. Unit will engage in commerce."

Psi turns the bell over to Essaila and takes the money. "Transaction completed."
