When she finally stops to take a deep breath he laughs."You see, Tjoyia? Five minutes of service and I'm getting paranoid again. Come, give me those papers before I change my mind" He scrabbles his signature at the bottom, and sighs. "It's sure good to be home again. Thanks, you meddling, scheming, well, scout. You just couldn't rest untill I was back, now, didn't you?" She answers brightly, "Ah...You'd've put put a slug in your brain from boredom after ten more minute on this waterball if you hadn't heard from me, Gwydion, and don't try telling me otherwise.  Now, Like I said, I hear these are good people, but I don't know them.  You'll be there to make sure they keep acting like they should and don't use those balls of steel to damage our standing out there at the arse end of the Imperium. And to get word to me if things get out of hand. And to get them ba--  to get them to court if the MoJ thinks their depositions aren't sufficient."  She pauses again, turning serious.  "The Scouts don't have much surplus cash right now, son.  This damn war has the whole government strapped.  (You know I love the emperor, but you can't tell me that all that cash didn't enter into his mind when he started impounding and selling Nellsian corporate ships like he's doing.  Ah well, if that idiot had just paid his tax levies like every of the Domain ruler, we wouldn't be having the trouble, now would we?)  If this were wholly a scout mission, I could authorize an appropriate ship, but the higher ups feel strongly that private enterprise is going to be the best way to get this thing done, at least until---"  She catches herself and continues with only the briefest of pauses: "Anyway, the best the other scouts i sent out for this were able to do was a percentge of the ship's profits - I think that's what you should go for.  If you and they do well at  your mission, it's more than we could pay you anyway."   [/sblock]As they finish their discussion, she confirms that she will have his gear loaded onto the shuttle, and that Gwydion can take off as soon as he is ready.</blockquote>
