It looks like all the ships will converge on a location about 2 million km out from the gas giant in about 70 minutes. About 20 minutes before the intercept there is a ping from The Old Dream coming in over a very tight beam.

"Hey, this is Lord William." says a male voice followed by a feminine one, "And Lady Jane."

"We're currently at an angle where none of the other ships can detect this, but only for a couple of minutes, so I just wanted to tell you that everything is going to be okay.

Once you're inspected you'll be allowed to dock at a base on Taka, it's another moon orbiting Prime, the gas giant, for your debriefing."
Carlos grins and shoots a tight beam back. "No huhu, boss. I'm thinking Navy will McLove us a bit then turn the newsies on us. No good deed goes unpunished, y'know..."

Welcome back! :)

As the convoy reaches the designated place one of the SDB's angles over and docks with The Old Dream. The two big warships and the other two SDB's surround your ship.

"You will be boarded shortly." comes over from the radio over a tight beam, "Sit tight. Out."

Fifteen minutes later one of the two SDB's guarding you ship moves over to you and you feel a slight bump and shudder as it snugs up to your forward airlock. This is the airlock that leads into the forward lounge.

A minute later the lights indicate that the outer hatch is open and a bit after that the lights on the controls next to the inner lock show that you are being requested to open the inner hatch.

Once opened, a figure encased in combat armor and holding a SMG at the ready steps through. It is followed quickly by two more combat armored figures, and when no combat breaks out by a middle aged woman dressed in Imperial Navy Blues.

"I'm Commander Douglas." says the woman, "Who am I speaking with?"

Carlos sips his bad kaff. "Carlos Mitsumi," he drawls, letting his Daibei accent come out strong. "Chief Scout, late of the IISS. As ya might figure, we mostly ain't from roundere..."

"M'Lord, ladies and gentlemen." Commander Douglas chuckles, "Lord William said you were an interesting collection of characters. He tells me you have a couple of former POW's aboard, one in low? And a couple of terrorists, bodies anyway? Any thing else to declare?"

Carlos chirps up. "Also, an almost virgin computer for your squirrels to sweep. Might get some info on pirates running out of Ruie." He grins his trademarked lopsided grin. "And I declare, it's nice to get back to something close to civilisation."

Sigrun keeps her challenging gaze locked on Commander Douglas and states "I declare a successful raid, Kommander!"

She unfolds her arms, draws herself up to her full height and makes no effort to conceal her accent as she states "I'd say at least twenty Luzon killed by our close support fire and we got four more at close quarters. No friendly casualties. Four Imperial POWs liberated - including the Jarl. One Luzon starship captured, one written off. Hard evidence recovered of use of nuclear and prohibited weapons and overt government support for the terrorists. The captured mustard gas is secured in the hold”.

She grins with fierce predatory pride “And so I also declare that we need meat, mead and ale!”

"#@&%$##$@!" Commander Douglas curses, "Poison gas, nukes, pirates! You don't do anything by half do you folks?"

"Yeah, I think we'll be evacuating you from this ship and ferrying you down to Headquarters for the debrief while the boffins take this ship and its contents apart."she says shaking her head.

She holds her wrist communicator up to her lips and starts talking into it, "Get a med team over here right now. We've got a injured man in Low and we need to get the Scientific and Engineering team up here ASAP. I recommend we take the ship's crew down to be debriefed at Headquarters and keep an SDB here and a squad of marines aboard to keep this ship secure until it has been completely investigated."

After looking into the middle distance for a few seconds...probably listening to a reply through a bone conducting comm dot behind her ear...she nods and says, "Okay, folks!"

"First, congratulations on a job well done...and I sincerely mean that!"

"Second, please gather your possessions and reassemble here to debark from his ship. We'll be taking you down to Headquarters for a debriefing."

"Third, and this not orders, just a suggestion from me."
she says,"Make a salvage claim immediately, to me, to whoever greets you a'planet, and insist on making a formal claim even before they spooks debrief you. If we can a certain ownership of this tub, you'll be in for a substantial recovery prize and if we can't a certain ownership you'll almost certainly own yourselves a ship. Capisce?"

Pedro says "Aye aye Commander! This little convo was far more pleasant than we feared!" He starts to head of then stops again. "Oh my, almost forgot! We also have a dead pirate stuffed in a low berth, too, so make sure you take the right one to medevac!" He quickly gathers his possessions and re-assembles in the lounge for disembarkation.

It seems that by her reaction Commander Douglas has somehow gained Sigrun’s approval. “Ha!” grinning the tall blond strides over to shake the Commander’s hand “Kapitensleutnant Sigrun Volsung, pleased to meet you”. She then repeats, as if by rote, “Under Imperial Law I hereby claim salvage on this vessel taken in a mercenary action outside the Imperium on behalf of all parties present in that action. Kommander, would you please initiate the claim and forward it on to us for completion and also send a copy to my employer, Lady Jane Featherstuff, aboard the Old Dream?”

To her comrades she says evasively “I have a little knowledge about renegotiating ship ownership. If we left this ship before making the salvage claim I believe it might be legally unsound”.

Sigrun then sets to loading her bulky pile of carry cases and personal gear for the trip to Headquarters.
