Forgoing the hydralic assists {how are they legal?} {{A little trouble in Zaire has your ship and crew on Interpol}} ((They've got all the stuff for our legal cargo. Just not for the rest of it.)) * Lt signals to the Patrol boat and two techs come aboard carrying chem sniffers and other detection equipment. {each of the techs has a SMG slung across his back}} * Lt and the techs dissappear into the hold. {Now I hope the scan shielding on the concealed compartment works...} * Garret stays by the ramp guards with one foot on the bulkhead discretly ready to spring into action {{Did you toss the BTLs?}} <> ((Down the moon pool, then shifted the rest of the cargo to cover up the missing space.)) {Ask was very careful about that.

All illegal cargo has a lead bottom)) ((Right to the bottom, get em later)) {They wouldn't have sunk if they floated.} The techs look around for half an hour and then head back to the ship.

Capn... We know... But isn't she a little... Young? News: Authorities have not yet released the identities of the smugglers or the name of thier ship. * Gen`vive shrugs <> She seems capable. She will learn, or she will leave. * Gen`vive looks at Shiv Ah... Da. I see. Vous comprenez? You understand? * Shiv nods News: But promise that they are close behind the suspects and are looking to make arrests sometime in the next few days.
