The group settled easily into conversation, the political and diplomatic double-speak kept to a minimum as the Black Kris and their growing sector influence was discussed.
Colt: ::speaks up:: Not yet, at least. If the Black Kris continues to dominate in the sector, their influence may reach to several of the planets.
Toven: Introduction may be slower but Ketra Omni is a unique product. Exclusivity creates interest.
Rouiancet: Response
Thomas: I see. Sorry for the interruption Captain.
Colt: ::clears throat:: I didn’t meant for an interruption either.
Toven: No injury suffered here.
Rouiancet: Response.
Toven: I looked into the Black Kris as you asked. They have done a decent job staying out of the spotlight, so to speak, but I have found their reach is spreading rapidly. Some are not willing to admit officially yet that they are dealing with a drug epidemic. (gesturing to the PADD) That is a list of planets that have increased their orbital patrols.
Rouiancet/Thomas: Response
Colt: One quick question. Is the Black Kris benefitting from an early foothold in Gamma, and why is this so?
Toven: My estimation is they are taking advantage of the independent systems no longer under the yoke of the Dominion.
Rouiancet/Thomas: Response
Toven shook his head and rubbed his temple.
Toven: There is no coordinated response. Each system is tackling the epidemic in their own manner. Some more successfully than others.
Colt: So, it's safe to say that there is a bit of an isolationist policy when confronting the drug market.
Rouiancet/Thomas: Response
Toven: I was able to verify one thing. The Sweet Charlotte is a Wadi-class cargo vessel. Heavily modified, no doubt.
Mark listened to the class of the vessel with just this side of a passing interest; he was a diplomatic security officer, not an engineer.
Rouiancet/Thomas: Response
Toven: I avoid the Wadi system. I have no skill in games of chance and strategy.
El Scruffo cracked a slight smile; he had no real luck with games of chance, and only some luck with strategy games. The real strategy happened in the ‘game’ of diplomacy and life and death.
Colt: What of Mad Dog Ives? Our mission reports hinted that she may have high-roller contacts, is any of that true?
Rouiancet/Thomas: Response
Entering the necessary coding into his own PaDD, Colt readied the quotes from various command level reports that he'd compiled.
Rouiancet/Thomas/Tovan: Response
The security officer then allowed the PaDD to be passed among the participants.
