Message: <blockquote data-quote="Dr Simon" data-source="post: 4594137" data-attributes="member: 21938">Tryce shakes his head. Jowls wobble, cables rattle."Sethyk.  Sethyk, Sethyk, Sethyk. You *know* I dislike unannounced guests."Sethyk says nothing, but makes a few quiet "Tchk" noises. He doesn't look like he's bothered by being chided; in fact he's typing away at his wrist computer."Luckily for you," Tryce continues, "I've been interested in these people myself." He looks at Ashley. "Information is my main line of business, Ms.... Ashley. I make it a point to know all that occurs in Tribon. A small group of free traders turn up, make a deal with Rax-Minstrom for some Q-40, nothing unusual in that but when I dig a little deeper..."He makes a gesture to his right. Several screens change to give a massive blow-up of Ashley's Bureau of Telepath Integration ID card. "Ms. Ashley Logan, psi-rating P-11." Tryce raises his eyebrows in mock surprise. "Yet working as a humble commercial teep?  Who did you annoy, Ms. Logan?"The image changes to Sarhat."And a member of the Minbari Warrior Caste, a rising star in the ranks, by what I can gather. A strange crew member for an old Earth-registered cargo ship. Did you annoy somebody too, Sarhat?"Now Vurk's identicard appears."The illustrious Doctor Vurk. I'm afraid I know your people too well to underestimate you. A very impressive collection of qualifications you have, Dr. Vurk. Perhaps too impressive for a simple ship's doctor."Finally the image changes to Kevin's identicard."Mr. Cole. You of the three have the least interesting background. Almost *too* bland, I would say, in comparison. What secrets do you hold, I wonder?"Tryce waves an arm. Wires and cables shake. He leans forwards in his cradle of conduits, looming above the group."And now you come to me, looking for Raive and the technology that he wears. I am happy to help you, for a small price of course, but I need to know, what do you *really* want?"[sblock=Sarhat]Whilst Tryce is giving his monologue, you think you spot something, or somebody, moving behind the viewscreens off to the right. Through the glare of the screens it is hard to be certain of specifics, but you are sure there was movement.[/sblock][sblock=Reveille]Lauren makes her way slowly and carefully around behind the monitor screens towards Tryce. The little multi-species party down on the floor of the dome are providing a handy distraction to Tryce and she gets round to the rear of the dome without any trouble. As Tryce askes his question of the group, she is about 10 ft. from the floor and almost directly behind him. The schematics are somewhat vague about where the datacrystal port is, but seems to suggest somewhere almost directly below.[/sblock]</blockquote>
