Marks, about getting the necessary background information and clearances to make rescue runs into Medway. Saro leaves before most of the others are up in order to track down Dr. Hays and Dr. Warren, and ends up wandering back for a bit when he finds that the doctors were up late, too, and haven’t risen yet. Saro does have a chance to examine Martha’s blood samples while singing a broad selection of his power ballads, much to Argent’s chagrin given that Argent’s cabin is nearby. Saro’s stomach announces its unhappiness at being empty with loud grumbling. He has been thinking of abandoning his Vargr power ballads for now and debates what kind of music would be appropriate. "I know! Ursa hunting chants!" He then starts singing in the low register, a very simple haunting and melancholic melody. He sets out again at 0700 hours local time to track down the two doctors for breakfast with the intent of spending the day with them trying to find out more about the virus, the epidemic, and the outbreak in the capital. Swann starts plugging away at a computer console, trying to mine information about companies, research facilities, and hospitals. He plans on tying into the local networks as soon as he can rouse someone who has a little more information and possibly a landline or wireless access setup. Vasilii dresses in his most presentable business suit, checks his appearance twice, and prepares to meet Major Eckels so that she may point him towards the best local banking concern and a source for a good portacomp as well as any other supplies that may be needed. Martha wakes up from another restless night with a touch of grumpiness. She still would rather install that missile launcher, and it’s not at all clear to her what sort of decon station needs to be set up other than the originally requested setup in the port cargo lock. If she finishes the port cargo lock decon station and no one gives her guidance on any other decon station, she just might decide to install that missile launcher anyway, figuring the Captain probably doesn’t want the missile launcher rolling around in the cargo bay when refugees are loaded there. Ian has plans to track down Lt. Marks and use him as a springboard into the local military structure with the intent of doing planning for his little vacation excursion. Ian also will be looking for travel documents for KGL citizens or for travel to KGL. He figures there are probably at least a few KGL citizens being held by the Bromlians somewhere nearby. Darishun looks about and decides to find out where the portable building is going to be set up and what assistance he can provide. Vargas is still sacked out in his cabin and shows no signs of stirring until Argent comms him to ask if Vargas will accompany him off ship.</blockquote>
