Ricardo says, "I'd like to keep as much suspicion off us as possible seeing as the mother and daughter will actually be aboard." "Okay, then!"

Ricardo says, "If we do then we can make a quick snatch tomorrow night, and hide both Rachel and Lessa aboard." "If your ship was to leave only a few hours after the snatch, then suspicion would *naturally* fall on you, and if you jump before anyone can actually search you, then so much the better." Ricardo says, "Could you be ready to lift out that soon?" "Or you could *actually* do the snatch yourself, using the /Blue Rain/ and we could meet you with the /Random Walk/ and transfer Lessa and her daughter, and you continue on out of the system. We would match up with /Random Walk/ after we lift a little later and continue on our regularly announced route to Newton and then Montrose. This would put you in more danger, and as I said tarnish your reputation, but it might work better." Eris AKU GM
