All the yuppies bar Malico are watching the local equivalent of Blomberg, some with more interest than others. A few of them, Govindra Ishage and Maxine Zdrac, are devouring each entry on the ticker like they are junkies coming out of a weeks worth of cold turkey; which in all fairness is pretty much exactly what they are.      <Must have data in real time>     Malico doesn't appear to care that much, largely concentrating on the game, though he glances across occassionaly.Ruzz'koff:      Your intuition suggests that the Massena is doing this principally for the benefit of the K'kree. As the Lashing Tail will have at least some crew on board their sensors will be manned and if there is something important going on, he will want it disguised.    Of course it's also possible that Massena also adopts the same approach to random drills at inconvenient times that you do...[Sblock]Massena isn't sure whether to believe you or not, but he's not going to take any chancesIt's also fair to say that he is very bored and any break from routine is interesting. He's doesn't come across as slapdash or careless by any strech of the matter, it's more a pragmatic, "this might be something, it might not, either way it's way more interesting than just sitting here orbiting a planet"[/sblock]Saanath, Ruzzkoff:The shuttle is an 100 ton Iiken class Scout/Courier, a less advanced fore-runner of the Suleiman that's the Imperial workhorse. It's reactor is running, but it doesn't seem to be doing much; it could be just in a nightcycle or it could be waiting for something. Either way it is no threat to the Vyrkris unless it's been substanitially rebuilt - and there is no sign of that.Ktarle, Ruzz'koff, Saanath:Massena comes back on screen as soon as Ruzz'koff's last transmission reaches him, "Um, say again please Vyrkris, "You do not expect any resistance from the deceased"? Stand by, I'm handing you over to Lt De Paolo on our gig."</blockquote>
