F-586: Spanial (Docked at Mundo Zargo Highport), Common Area
Jennie says, “someone should stay with the ship. If you specifically need me, I will come, but I’ll stay here otherwise.”
Gregar glances between Lia and Oliver, whispers, “I will help if you need it, Lia.”
“Xi too,” Prrri rumbles.
She looks at Jennie.
“XO should stay with the ship. Spanial needs someone to keep her safe.”
She gives her a small smile before turning to Gregar and Prrri.
“I think it would be best if one of you stays here with Jennie and one comes with Oliver and I. I’m not sure if Zayaire will allow us a third, since we don’t yet know what he…wants from us.”
A beat.
“But if we go off alone, who knows what might happen. I think we need someone to keep an eye out and take note of where we go, if they can. Try to keep tabs on us and communicate with the ship.”
She turns to Oliver.
“What are your thoughts?”
Oliver nods. “I always have a go-bag. I’ll probably need to acquire a more fitting set of attire, however.”
“If you’re sending someone on recon you need someone who either will believably be in the wrong area or doesn’t stand out. If you want them sneaking around, of course.” Oliver looks between Prrri and Gregar. “I would leave it to you to decide who they think is most suited to such a task.”
He ponders a moment. “Maybe we should set up an easy code to advise if things have gone poorly. Shouldn’t be that hard to reach a terminal, a simple message to the XO can inform the ship if we’re having trouble.”
She nods.
“Sounds like a good idea.”
Turning back to Gregar and Prrri.
“I know you guys aren’t usually part of an away team but unfortunately, those people are already away. What do you think? Who is best able for this task?”
