This is not the deep rolling laugh one might expect from an obese crime lord, but a disturbingly girlish giggle."Not quite, Ms. Logan," he says at last. "I'm not worried about losing Raive as an employee." Behind him, a door opens up in the far wall revealing a small cubicle lit only by display lights of a complex computer system. A figure steps forwards, coming out of the shadows into the flickering light of the viewscreens. You recognise him from Alexis' recordings - Raive Timogen. Little of the man remains, his humanity replaced or covered by machinery. His left arm ends in a savage looking metallic claw, and his eyes stare dead ahead, empty and soul-less.Sethyk, who up until now has been engrossed in his wrist computer and chirping to himself, looks up expectantly, and lets out a hiss of what could be shock or anger."As you can see, Raive is every inch the loyal servant now," says Tryce with an evil smile. "He'd throw Alexis into the Q40 furnaces if I ordered him to. But I can assure you, I don't wish to harm the girl."Kevin mutters something in Dark Minbari.[SBLOCK=Vurk and Ashley]Both of you spot another figure by the door to Raive's cubicle, suddenly highlighted by the lights from inside the cublicle, but still little more than a silhouette. A female humanoid of some sort. Raive and Tryce don't seem to be aware of her.[/sblock][sblock=Sarhat]Sarhat takes in some news stories about the trial of a Q-40 smuggler in Tribon, and a Drazi general downplaying the presence of a drazi fleet near to their borders with Lison space. Then Kevin says in stage whisper "Look to the right of the door." There, Sarhat can just make out a figure, a humanoid female, stood beside the cyborg Raive.[/sblock][sblock=Lauren]The Minbari move on, looking at the vidscreens. Lauren is able to complete her move to the back of the room whilst Tryce is making his pitch to the teep woman. She reaches the ground, still well hidden in the shadows. Just then, a door opens to her right, and a heavily cyber-teched man steps out. He is stood almost right next to her, but his eyes stare blankly ahead. Just behind him is a cublicle behind the door through which he came, and inside is a bank of computer terminals. There's a crystal port in there, but at the moment the cyborg is blocking the door.[/sblock]</blockquote>
