Lieutenant junior grade Colt was in observation mode, taking in the beings as they spoke and the office environment in general. He would provide input when he had something concrete to add and not before. 

Rouiancet: Inspector? I'm Lia Rouiancet.

Inspector: Hello, Captain. I am Inspector Toven.

Thomas: Hello sir.

Mark offered a friendly enough nod to the Inspector.

Other Crew with Lia: Responses

Toven: I received your notes on Ketra Omni. (shaking his head) Nasty drug.

Rouiancet: (half-laugh) You can say that again.

Thomas: We certainly had our fair share of it.

The diplomatic security officer made a notation on his own Padd.

Other Crew with Lia: Responses

Rouiancet: You accepted my request, Inspector Toven, so I hope that you'll be able to help us.

Toven: It is opportune that you contacted me when you did. I was due to board a transport to Koreli IV when I received your message.

Rouiancet: Now, that is interesting. What was your business there, if you don't mind me asking?

The Danni mission had been before Colt’s time, but nonetheless he listened intently.

Other Crew with Lia: Responses

Toven: Response

Rouiancet: My ship, the Butler, spent a memorable mission with the Danni. (beat; frown) I hope that they're not subject to the same degree of smuggling as the Argrathi?

Thomas: ::mumbled:: That would be unfortunate.

Colt: Indeed. ::nods to Thomas::

Other Crew with Lia: Responses

Toven: Response

Thomas: Well, glad to hear they’re not suffering from drugs like the Argrathi.

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/Rouiancet/Other Crew: Response

Thomas: I see. Sorry for the interruption Captain.

Colt: ::clears throat:: I didn’t meant for an interruption either. 

Toven/Rouiancet/Other Crew: Response

The scruffy security officer made another notation on his Padd, taking in the flow of the conversation around him naturally.

Toven/Rouiancet/Other Crew: Response

Colt: One quick question. Is the Black Kris benefitting from an early foothold in Gamma, and why is this so?

The direct question wasn’t necessarily directed to the Inspector, moreso to the little group at large.

Toven/Rouiancet/Thomas/Other Crew:
