B-539: Merchant Freighter Spanial (Docked at Zarg’s World Highport), Common Room
The Vizant says, “As I said, he was last seen entering the Iceheart dock and never left. The next and only ship to leave that dock was yours.”
He’s visibly frustrated.
“I understand your caution, but my team cares more about lizard spittle than about any smuggling operations or patrons you harbour.”
Oliver taps the picture again.
“I need Abbas, I need Argyle. Did you see him, or not? Where did you leave that container?”
Karmen glances at Lia, she has her professional mask up, but Lia knows her well enough to see she’s shaken, and the Vizant sounds like he only has so much patience. As he was responding to Lia’s question Lia has a chance to speak, otherwise Karmen will say something.
Lia spreads her hands in an open placating gesture and when she speaks, she’s very calm.
“I completely understand your frustrations and have nothing but respect for what you’re doing here but we are in a difficult position. It would help us no end if certain assurances could be offered to the Captain; you have stated your lack of interest in our activities barring this one incident but how about your friend here?”
She transfers her attention to the Legion Officer.
“Where does the Legion stand on this matter?”
