Julia looks at Trelene: "I was hoping you'd be able to help me figure that out, Trelene." After a slight pause: "Nell-Corzin boarded the Keruuchan before all the other passengers, and had insisted that his limousine be allowed to bring him directly to the ship. Even then he was surrounded by his security agents, one of whom carried a large, black case that was chained to his arm. Throughout the journey, that agent has never left Nells-Corzine's quarters. When I asked the Vice President about him a few days ago, he told me that my, '...duty to the company is to get the Keruuchan as quickly, as safely, and as discreetly as possible.' I don't know what was in that case - but it's got something to do with the company's behavior."
She pauses a second, and when she resumes, there's a bit of a tinge to her voice, though she sounds like she's trying to supress it. "Two days before The Keruuchan left Daramm, I received new orders and a revised passenger manifest - this, in and of itself, is not uncommon, but this manifest came from Corporate Security, which is. They informed me that because of security risks involved, the Company would be assigning extra security personnel to the Keruuchan. They also ordered the dismissal and replacement of three of my more experienced security officers. The new manifest said the Keruuchan would have two executives travelling with us to Dukh - HiranuCorp Vice President Walid Nell-Corzine, and Retired Makhidkarun Vice President Trelene Scrautigue. Do you have any idea why Hiranucorp Security would have done that, Trelene?"
