Upon seeing Mr. Silvers’ information, he punches it in to call him. -----Kevon loiters near the berth access doors and watches the couple ‘repairing’ the scooters. He notices the muscular fellow mutter something, and the smaller human does seem to be doing something with the scooter now — or least, appears to be doing something. The thin man in the gray suit has slowed a bit and seems to be using his personal comm. It’s either that, or he’s talking to someone/something only he can see/hear. The thin man strides up to Kevon. "Sir, I am Mr. Aidan Silver. I’ve come to have a chat about some cargo with a Mr. Vasilii Kugiikishshi. I’d appreciate the opportunity to board and speak with him." Kevon is about to politely inform Mr. Silver that no one is available this evening, when Vasilii beeps the man’s communicator. "Mr. Silver, thank you for calling me. I’m sorry, but I’m tied up with another customer right now. Perhaps I could meet you in a half-hour at Agnacio’s. I’d like to give your proposal the attention it deserves. Thank you for understanding. I’ll see you there." "Ahh, Mr. Kugiikishshi, as a matter of fact I’m standing outside your portal of entry at the moment. I was just about to chat with your most excellent guard about viewing the ship. I’d certainly be happy to join business and pleasure at a local venue of your choice." Kevon nods slightly, flashing a friendly smile at Mr. Silver while he keeps his eyes on the scooter repair scene. "Hello Sir," Mr. Silver says to Kevon. "Have you been with the ship long?" Aidan has followed Kevon’s eyes and is now looking over at the scooter repair scene. "All of 12 hours, actually," the pilot answers, his eyes only briefly darting to the man he was addressing. When he hears the warning that Ian and the blonde are coming out, he adds, "Sir, if you will excuse me for a moment." Kevon takes a step to the side, to get a good sightline to both the berth door and the scooter, and keeps his hand near his pistol until everyone is out of sight. Only when he’s comfortable with the situation does the lieutenant commander return his attention to Aidan. -----After warning Swann and Kevon that they’re coming out, Ian escorts the striking blonde off the ship. Ian is a little dismayed to see that Kevon has seemingly abandoned his post, but understands once the blonde is escorted out the passenger berth door. Once outside, the blonde turns to Ian, smiles briefly, and then walks towards the moving sidewalk that runs counter clockwise down the concourse (and away from the scooter pair). A minute or two later, the scooter pair apparently finish whatever they are doing and both get on the scooter. The smaller human is wearing some sort of helmet. It’s hard to be sure, but Ian thinks that the smaller human’s size is about the same as the small wiry man accompanying the blonde at the Long Shadows Falling bar. The pair takes off on the scooter in the same direction as the blonde. -----Swann turns his attention to the ship, and watches the blonde and Ian walk from the ship all the way to the berth exit. After the blonde leaves and Ian re-enters the berth, Swann smiles at him and asks, "So, how was it?" Ian flashes a big grin, crinkling the scarred skin where his ear used to be. "That one’s got some spunk!" he says as the two walk back to the ship. -----"The cargomaster should be with you shortly. Have a good evening, Sir," Kevon says to Aidan before returning to the berth through the vehicle door. -----Vasilii watches the blonde leave the hanger area from the bridge, and sighs. Lest Emile get the wrong idea, he says, "I don’t think we are getting anywhere in our negotiations. We may just have to destroy the items and take the consequences." "I’m just wondering how far those consequences are willing to follow us in order to teach us, and anyone else considering the same thing, a lesson," Vargas says. "There are folks out there who’ll be relentless. "Oh, and by the way, I personally don’t care how poorly negotiations are going as long as she keeps dropping by. She’s really a nice change of scenery." -----Vasilii goes to his cabin and freshens up for his meeting with Mr. Silver, taking a few seconds to meditate for proper composure. When he’s done, Vasilii exits the ship and heads towards the door of the hanger. Activating his personal comm, Vasilii calls Ian. "Mr. McConnell, I’m leaving the ship area to meet with Mr. Aidan Silver at Agnacio’s restaurant. I don’t expect it to take long." A couple of minutes later, however, Aidan comms the Bray Keaven again to announce that something has just come up and he will need to meet Vasilii tomorrow morning. Aidan suggests 0730 hours at Agnacio's for breakfast. Though a little irritated at the rescheduling, Vasilii agrees. -----The crew of the Bray Keaven gathers for dinner in the lounge, and are quite happy to be able to sample regular merchant fare rather than the Marine rations. They spend the evening chatting, and Kevon seems particularly interested in the activities of the crew at Alief. After some time, the crew begins to drift off to various evening activities, and almost all turn in by midnight if not earlier. Saro is one of the last to turn in as he arrives a little after 0100 from his night of haunting open mic nights at various clubs/bars. -----All of the crew are soundly asleep when a rather loud siren resounds through each crew cabin followed by the Bray Keaven’s computer announcing, "Unauthorized access to port fuel processor. Unauthorized access to port fuel processor."</blockquote>
