Harris immediately sighed, suddenly feeling like a small town cop caught in a Farmer’s Market fight over a damn piece of fruit. “Alright…” The Marine began, clearly now equally annoyed with both parties. The last thing he wanted was to get stuck unwittingly aiding and abetting a worthless ass grave robber. “… let’s take it from the top. But before you answer, Mr. Lorenzo, please be aware that this transmission is being recorded…” He nodded to the Comm Officer, who immediately tapped a red RECORD button on her console. “… violation of the UFP’s ESCA (OOC: Educational, Scientific and Cultural Accords) Guidelines for off-worlders… acquiring… protected Cultural properties is a felony. With that being said, why is Captain Ryu accusing you as such?”

Col. Harris, CO

Orin was slightly surprised. from his previous experiences, recording of official communications was standard.

“I had paid for the piece with the credits that was agreed upon,” said Lorenzo. “They had taken my money and wanted the piece back. Who are the robbers here?”

GM

Hannibal looked down at the tactical display as the parties spoke, Making sure that either party wasn’t trying something while they were talking.

Sensors showed that Lorenzo’s ship had been repaired and the warp core was online once again.

Standing on a dark corner in the back of the Bridge, arms crossed over her chest, Molly watched the scene unfold. As she became more and more bored with the circumstances, she wondered if there were ‘local’ authorities that were better suited to deal with the situation than them. After all, it was starting to look more and more like they had fallen in the middle of a petty dispute over some piece of art.

Moments earlier, her research into the Ardanans had revealed some interesting tidbits of information about Lorenzo of Stratos — his love for art, and his art gifts to his clients. She wondered for a moment how he acquired his pieces.

“Alright Mr. Lorenzo…” Harris began flatly, looking now directly to the man on comm. “… what evidence do you have that proves you are, now, the rightful owner of the property being claimed as stolen? A contract, a receipt… anything?” The Marine stifled the snort as he realized he was sounding less like a Marine and more like a cop.

Harris, Sheriff ‘round des’ parts

OOC: Sorry, clicked too close to the submit button before.

IC: “Captain,” said the Andanan suavely, “We had a spoken agreement. There was no need for it to be written down.”

Suddenly, the Andanan ship reversed at full impulse and in two seconds had gone into warp.

The Efrosian ship powered up their engines when the Andanan ship began its move.

GM

The sudden exclamations on the Bridge made Molly lift her head from her PaDD and glance back at the viewscreen. The Ardanan ship was gone. An innocent man doesn’t run… Molly thought. No matter how Lorenzo pleaded, he certainly seemed much more guilty now.

Capt. Wright, CIO

Amelia had sat silently on her chair to the right side of Harris during the whole exchange. Unwritten agreements were common among the high society or amidst powerful circles, so the Ardanan’s words did not surprise her. This was usually because powerful people had a liking to keeping said power, and many times the deals and people they were arranged with were not the most licit of businesses.

Manning hadn’t liked Lorenzo the moment he had opened her mouth. She knew the type. She had lived among them. And she despised every single one of them. This one was no exception. The moment his ship disappeared into the void, in her mind she knew for a fact he was guilty.

“Colonel, I think that Mr. Lorenzo doesn’t need protection anymore…”

Lt. Cmdr. Manning, XO
