Around the ship the crew begins to wake up. Woof sits in his cabin, debating whether to head to the galley or to Lessa's cabin. Ricardo rolls over as his comm buzzes again. This time it *is* time to get up. There is a lot of work to get done. Somebody needs to arrange some cargo, look for passengers, and keep an eye on that other ship. In the stateroom that Jac and Myra are sharing, Jac nudges Mira and whispers into her ear, "If that's not a Serbian bee, it must be time for us to wake up." He sighs and rolls over sitting up at the edge of the bed, "With the short crew we have now, I don't think the Captain will look favorably on us staying in bed." Looking over his shoulder he says with a grin and a wink, "But I'll risk his ire if you insist." Lysia wakes from her slumber in her cabin. The small cabin reminds her of the cell she was in last night...small and windowless. Eris AKU

Ricardo thinks a moment, then surveys the list of evidence we have implicating the bad guys, and puts together an electronic packet sufficient to show the truth of what happened to the Port Captain. If necessary, he'll hand this over to the P.C. before we lift. In any case, he'll pass it on to the P.C. after the 'Lee' lifts. Both the Hooter and non-hooter leadership here need to see this. Might even hold the bad guys over for kidnapping. "Jac, Mira " he says when he and Mira show up. "I'm thinking we should make certain evidence available to the Port Captain regarding the events of the last few days. I'm thinking of taking it confidentially to him and let him sort out the headaches. "Jac, you're an official of sorts with the Mark government, I may need you to show some sort of credentials and and speak to the authenticity of the documents. Do you have anything suitable? "My dilemma is the risk of getting stuck here for any criminal proceedings, but it has the advantage of stopping any sort of warrant out on the "Rain", which could prove rather problematic for Shawn, and holding these guys..." He gestures in the direction of the other ship "...here on kidnapping charges. "I mean, the papers we did are good, and it was a mostly legal salvage, it's just we ALSO don't know what kind of paper trail the "Rain" has out there, and I'd rather not add to it. -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs

Do you have anything suitable? "Nothing I *want* use." Jac says quietly and shrugs then adds, "Are you sure you want to do this before Mark Internal Security gives us the go ahead. If the details of what happen get back to the...um...to certain parties let's say...it will compromise the Bla...er, the authorities ability to *deal* with situation effectively." > "My dilemma is the risk of getting stuck here for any criminal > proceedings, but it has the advantage of stopping any sort of warrant > out on the "Rain", which could prove rather problematic for Shawn, > and holding these guys..."

"I can understand that, but I'm thinking more about the safety of Mark, and of Lessa, and her daughter Rachel, too." Jac says, "You realize that there are certain elements buried deep inside the Mark hierarchy that have to be rooted out.

Ricardo scratches his head and makes some faces. "I see your point. It's just that we're out ahead of your aunt, and Shawn's out ahead of us, and Serbia could turn a serious conflagration if the Hooters decide to face off the rest of the colonists, based on possibly fabricated stories of kidnapping, and I'd really hate to have that wait on Mark's problems being sorted out. "It may not suit Mark's purposes to let the folks here know what's going on, but the people here don't deserve to have their lives turned to shit because of it. A lot can happen on a world off the main like Serbia, between the odd visit...like a civil war." He frowns. "There may be some way to do both...there usually is." "I'll think about it, and you think about it and we'll decide later. With luck, Lord Procrastination will take care of the issue and we won't have to do anything." He finishes his pastry. "Good stuff as always, Woof. I'm off to arrange some cargo. I've also got to arrange to get some of that marvelous stout I had the other night. If we're lucky, there's enough to sustain trade. If not, there's certainly going to be enough to sustain us! Are we fixed for kegs?" OOC> If not well, we certainly SHOULD be. What's the use of having a ship the size of a small office building if you can't have a few luxuries...

"As Captain, this is your decision, but my counsel is for us to keep quiet about all of this." Jac says, "If you think we *must* share our confidence with someone here, let's be very, very, careful who we trust." > He finishes his pastry. "Good stuff as always, Woof.
