Woof finds that he can contact two of his contacts at the Starport. One is a woman who works in the control tower. He goes there personally. > Using his liaison skill, and ostensibly doing market > research, he will attempt to get the names and classes of > the ships serving mark for the last 2 months, up through > 'today' with their destinations and reported origins... He has to promise to take one woman to dinner the next time he is in port, but he gets a disk with a list of the names and classes of ships that have landed and lifted from Mark during the past two months, including today. The disk has the listed destinations and origins for each ship, but he knows those aren't *always* accurate. Woof also has a contact with Starport Security that he *could* meet with. From him he might be able to get access to recordings of boarding tapes from yesterday. That *might* show the Hootish couple with the girl, and if it does it might also show whoever was taking their pictures as they boarded the ship. Getting access to those recordings is going to be tricky, though. Liaison alone won't do it, bribery *might*, but so might some sort of subterfuge. You'll need to think on it, and probably get some help from your crewmates if you want copies of those recordings. > He will be taking care of Lessa.

Another date with Sheila.

How many and how do they break down as far as tonnages, class, and destinations and such break down? If he can easily tell that all the ships that departed were 30,000 behemoths and only one 300 tonner, well, that would be easy... >Woof also has a contact with Starport Security that he >*could* meet with.

Woof contemplates this on his way back with the disk, then comms Ricardo. "Skipper, I need to run something by you. You got a minute?" When he can meet with him, Woof lays out the above information.

He tells her where he is going and promises to bring back anything he finds. And he does so. "And Lessa, you *can't* do anything. Anything at all where someone might overhear, or get a tap, or anything! If you do, it may blow everything!" Woof

Six ships in the 100 to 600 dton range left during the 8 hour period in question yesterday. One of them is probably too early and two are probably too late, but they can't be ruled out entirely. The three most likely candidates are /Paul Rogers/-400 dton in from Muan Gwi, heading out to Kurzu; /The Golden Storm/-200 dton in from Leuet, heading to Serbia; and /Gypsy Startide/-200 dton in from Darkmage and out to Serbia. > > Woof also has a contact with Starport Security that he *could* meet > > with.
