Jac says, "I got a call from Aunt Mazie. The short of it is, her people intercepted a message ordering Rachel to be killed. I guess they figure Lessa is no longer someone they *need* to control, and can eliminate their hostage." "The coded message from Auntie came in from a ship refueling at the gas giant here, probably will be dropped off in every system in the area." Jac continues, "Anyway, if you have a line on the girl here on Serbia, then she's in real and immediate danger, because whoever is going to kill her probably got their message at the same time I got Mazie's." "Has there been any movement out of that ship that we think brought her in?" Ricardo asks. Eris AKU GM
