OOC: Mira, Jac, Lysia and Shawn have been elsewhere for the last 20 minutes, or so, dealing with the "package delivery", but that is behind us now. April and Ilane took the boat to retrieve Kelly, and they are arriving back at the ship now. We will pick up the discussion with everyone regathered in the crew lounge. This includes Kelly, who has been briefed a bit by Ilane and April. Jac walks back into the lounge carrying a large clock and apologizes, "Sorry about this, but we had to be sure the delivery was for real and not a ruse to get an explosive aboard the ship." "Mira, why don't I just put this over here on the table out of the way and we can continue to discuss the serious business facing us." Jac says as he sets the clock down and takes a seat next to his aunt. Lady Ryobi looks up at Jac and smiles then turns to the others and transforms from a kindly aunt into the Director of Internal Security. She says, "Let me recapitulate. "Sianna Kramer was investigating the Spacer's Guild and uncovered a connection between them and a member of the Mark Parliament, Lord Geoffrey Hayes. Specifically, she has him meeting with Sheffield Burke and has records showing deposits from one of Burke's accounts to an account connected to Lord Geoffrey." "Clearly, someone involved found out about Sianna Kramer's investigation and has tried to put an end to it by murdering her ex-husband, kidnapping her daughter and threatening to kill her if Lessa exposes what she has found, and planted a bomb in the Mark News Network building attempting to kill Lessa and destroy an trace of her notes." "Lessa escaped the building with her notes and made contact with Wolfgang, here, who brought her aboard the /Mae Lee/ secretly. Then you called me for help." "Does that sum up that part of our previous conversation?" Mazie asks and looks around for confirmation. "In addition, Shawn has shown me a series of tapes that you all found here aboard the ship, presumably tapes made by Akus Moby on the voyage just before he murdered by Pete Hiika. These tapes show a series of meetings on three separate planets. In the first, Lord Geoffrey is shown meeting with an unknown man, and in the second and third this unknown man is shown meeting with other men. JaCarter has identified one of them as a former Finance Minister from Serbia, but the other is currently unknown to any of us." "The implication is that there may be a connection between those meetings and the troubles Lessa finds herself in now." "Does that sum up that part of the conversation?" she asks. And then with a significant look at Jac then at the rest of you she adds, "And does anyone have more information to share with me, that you should have shared before now?" OOC: There...now carry on. Perhaps next you can decide what to *do* about all of this.Eris AKU GM
