[QUOTE="Wilphe, post: 3019101, member: 8221"] Moving on. It's not necessary for someone to accompany the cargo, and in fact De Paolo will not permit anyone to leave. The same shuttle will carry the passengers that the Navy have finished with, if any. de Paolo returns from the search of the cargo and reports, "It's clean, and can go. Now it's your turn. Don't bother taking too many clothes with you, you won't need them." One by one you are called though the hatch on board the [I]Coronel[/I], strip searched and issued naval fatigues, all with more or less as politeness and courtesy as someone can show when they are inspecting your bodily cavities with a torch. Then you are interrogated, individually and alone, by members of the flotilla's intelligence detachments. To some of you this last part is eerily familar, though this time it may be rather less pleasent... Ruzz'koff: [sblock]Well, Captain, you seem to be making a habit of getting into all sorts of adventures.
