"It was in Hebden's old vacc suit, along with a bottle. I figure we can share it as a crew - either once we get the Queen flying again or after our first job. And Arnwulf was asking about Hebden's picture - didn't say why though."
Indrani sighs as the questions come in. "Let's hold our discoveries and questions until we can all gather and discuss them at dinner. Unless there's something urgent?"
Reven Stiilpahth places the chip on the table. "Computer searching isn't my thing. Anyone want to see what's on this?"

Reven Stiilpahth yawns. "Think i'll take a quick nap, if nobody needs me. Suddenly feel exhausted." Reven walks to his room and collapses on his bed. "Queen, can you send all pictures of Hebden stored in your data banks to my terminal?"

Nālani has only taken a small portion of the Lasagne ( and eaten none of the cheese sauce ), but filled her plate with salad. Thank you for the meal Captain, and the making of it.

Nālani picks up the chip, once it becomes apparent no-one else is eager to: I would be interested to see what is on this. Perhaps it will lead me to the rat Cull.

I should unpack some of the things for my room too, and I must go out on business soon. Is there anything the Queen needs of me that overrides that?

"We still have the matter of repairing the ship enough to move her. What were the inspector's comments about that?"

A reinforcing bar, simple to install. That and restoration of the skin around the damage and we have our 28 days. I am not an Engineer, but I will assist.

Indrani smiles. "Very good! I can assist with this, as well. Who else would like to pitch in?"

Reven Stiilpahth "I am always ... <yawn> ... at the disposal of the Queen. Whatever you ... <yawn> ... need." Reven's head and body slightly rock-wobbles as he talks.

The queen notes that she has no internal footage that includes Hebden as the storage period has expired. There may be data in crew private storage, but release of that requires authorisation of the captain and security keys used by the individual.

"Are the security keys with me or are those personal alpha numeric keys Queen?"

Pranit

Who has been watching the drama about previous crewmembers and cleaning his plate.

They are private to each crew member. I would remind you that should you make any attempt to break into them, I would be forced to suspend your access and inform the captain of the attempt. Should you succeed while in the belt I would be required to report the fact to the authorities at the nearest port.

Reven Stiilpahth "Arnwulf, could I see that picture unit you have?" One he hands it over, Reven will quickly flip through the images before crashing for a bit.

Arnwulf

The picture unit he gives to Reven is the one Pranit found and left in the crew common room.

As an aside. I note Reven has posted lots of sleepy, yawn in his posts. Is this because his character is tired after late nights and work or because we note he may be ill. Lack of oxygen in his blood for example making him tired? Just wanted to ask so we don't miss a character who face to face would be obviously sick.

"I do have more notes on the ship repair status Captain. I will gather them together but I think you may have been briefed on those already."

After dinner finishes.

"So do you want to do anything about this ex-steward character Hebden? As a suggestion. The guy doesn't know me or Pranit personally so wouldn't about face and sneak off if we met him. Do you want us to chat with him or strong-arm him out of the Nepenthe cartel casino?"

Nālani comments I cannot recommend attempting to “strong arm” anyone in the Blue Monkey. Fortunately we do not need to. We know he will flee from me, and we know his route. Just wait outside, yah?

Indrani sighs. "Just remember, we are a news item. People are definitely watching us."

Hebden, eh? His loss at gambling is why I have the ship share. Quite unpleasant man.

Arnwulf

"So do we have a plan? A strategy?

Maybe Pranit could use his car and be the getaway driver. Nalani you enter the Blue Monkey, accompanied by ... another lady, Maggie? Indrani? The croupier runs again out the backdoor and we nab him. Sack him up and into the boot. Return him here for, well whatever talk you need to engage in.

I will suit up for trouble but ideally this is a nab & grab not a shootout. If it goes off quietly, you ladies could stay in the casino and get those contacts you asked for yesterday. "

Indrani shakes her head. "No, I can't be directly involved, for the least reason that I just hit up the local Commodore for a megacred to make good our losses and the ship. Mostly, though, we don't need the bad press if I'm identified."

Maggie

Remembering her adventures with Iwate and his gambling habit, she says, I would rather not visit the casino, the ex went there often. It is a reason he is the ex.

She hopes this will slow Arnwulf down. We should focus on the ship.

Arnwulf

"Well whatever. You guys are all the shareholders after all. If this guy is history let him stay that way then.

But I am concerned that the bomb scare and the mysterious Mr Saffa's body turning up show the ship is still caught up in some spider's web and we shouldn't rely on the local police to put an end to it or explain what is going on.

Captain you have reports on the physical status of the ship. Is there anything to report for us all to know about two dead scientists?"

"Honestly, I'm focused on repairing the Queen," Indrani says. "I will leave all of the intrigue to you."
