”..Of course Captain, please then sit. Given your purpose her you may feel free to get to business for our colonial evaluations. Though I would like to first note, that my lead orbital traffic chiefs have sent a message indicating to me and planetary security that your ship quite recently has been acting how you say odd. In this case launching several probes in and out of system. Though not fully indicating why. There is also evidence from our colonial comms teams that your ship’s crew is make unrequested probes and listening in on our local communications network..” He queried.

GM CockRoach

“Solid. Good on them.”Xam said as if not seeing the potential irritation the Lord Governor may have about the actions. “See, we need all the information we can get to assist you in dealing with your pirate issue. And in our experience, pirates don’t just attack random ships and ‘hope they have treasure’. They pay informants to tell them what ships to hit. Find the informants, find a pirate. Pretty straightforward, Guv.” and he grinned.

Ra’Ti, Tactical

“Lt Ra’Ti is correct. Also your orbital staff was told they were routine and if we found anything myself or Cmdr Alden would inform you directly. It is also hard to convey secure information when your people refuse to use secure communications. So here we are. We found somethings.” She glanced back at the butler and then the maid. Quite obvious she was waiting to see if the governor was going to dismiss them.

The governor looked at the maid and then his butler/body guard, then back to the Captain waiting for her to continue, it was clear he trusted both in the room probably more then he did the CO or security officer from the Sentinel. Seems they would be staying....

”..Go on..” He said simply.

“The first being a camouflaged ship that was headed for your northern pole. The second that someone is jamming and hiding signals in your frequency bands. My people are still tracking the source down. When my engineers have finished with the ship, which is currently in our control, you will get a full report.” Rende was obviously neither amused nor impressed.

Blinking the Governor gave a surprised look, “..A ship? To the northern pole? Not anything up there except ice, and our primary geothermal plants for the colonial shields, defense stations planet side, and secondary emitters and relays for some infrastructural systems that feed melting ice and such to different colonial hubs..” He said thinking on this for a moment.

GM CockRoach

Ra’Ti laughed… loudly. And it was certainly directed at the Governor… not that the Governor was laughing so he could have laughed with him. “Seriously?! Did those words just leave your mouth? ‘Nothing up there except critical defense infrastructure and water which is the source of all life as we know it.’” he said in a clearly irritated manner. “Listen, Gov… you need to pull your head out. You got an unknown ship with advanced camouflage capabilities that was headed to your critical infrastructure taking great pains to not be seen doing it. You have someone or someones in your citizenry feeding info off-world to unknown entities. And you have a known pirate problem. What? Did you think this would just go away?” He cocked his head to the side and stared at the Governor and his bodyguard with a look that had, in another life, sent star ship captains into fits of shivering fright. “You. Still. Have. Valuables. And if you think any pirate with this kind of gear is gonna let you sit here and just have it without at least trying to take every last credit you have? Then you lot are bigger fools than I thought. And that’s sayin’ something.”

Ra’Ti, Tactical

Rende cast a glance at Xam, she was in total agreement with him, but she had a feeling the Governor wasn’t the kind to be humble and admit there was a problem. “To put it simply, they are after to hold siege to your colony, Governor. Control the water, they control you. Your colony ID quite fancy and luxurious. It’s a prime target. And they obviously have been watching for awhile and have good Intel if they know where to hit.”

Asam, CO
