Lieutenant Commander Cadfael Peters: Needle In A Haystack
Zeph
It had been one of those weird days that started out about as normal for Starfleetians, then turned to murder, intrigue, and drug running. Now, they were in a dive bar about to face mortal danger. Maybe. Cadfael was still unclear if they actually were in any danger, but that didn’t mean anything at the moment. They would find out soon enough.
JN: All the smaller ships and crews work with some freighter captain named Mad Dog. More pirate and smuggler than freighter captain really. None of them really owe much allegiance to anyone, and it’s all loose control.
Cadfael didn’t want to pry too far into JN’s connection with Sonn, but they were here for information rather than booze. So, it followed that they'd already revealed news of the Agrathian’s death moments earlier to try and continue with their inquiry. Wes gave a nod.
Varik: Response
JN: If you’re thinking about trying to go after Mad Dog I really wouldn’t.
Peters: Nah. We were just curious.
JN: Woman is slippery. You’ll likely end up with a knife in your back. Or more likely, a torpedo. Rumor is her boat has got a mean cloaking device.
Varik: Response
Greaves: Know where she’s based out of?
JN: Response
Varik: Response
Greaves: What about when she’s not local. There’s gotta be some organization to move all the contraband they bring in.
JN: Response
Peters: Do you know anything about her operations in port when she is local?
Greaves / JN / Varik: Response
Peters: Well, anything you can tell us would be helpful.
Greaves / JN / Varik: Response
It was maybe like looking for a needle in a haystack, although the likelihood they’d find either one in a timely fashion was very slim at the moment. However, that didn’t mean they were completely out of options. There are probably a few ways to track down someone like that without arousing suspicions, though what they were was something that eluded Cadfael at the moment.
Peters: (to Wes and Varik) You’d mentioned transporters before, so presumably we’d be able to track down their use. Though whether we can specifically get into the port’s computers is another thing entirely.
