Hah...forgot to mention that...

As Hua is led out she glances at the third cell... and finds that four more cells have been locked. When asking about it, the guards mention: "Oh, those are the traitors we caught yesterday. Mostly. We don't think we got them all, but its a good start."

When pressed for details the guard says "That's classified until the officers announce it. I think they will, but who knows. Lets just say the section had a long day yesterday"

Thibi looks kind of awkward about the ailment: "No, her foot got ran over by a forklift. She'll be ok, once she's healed. The prosthetics for accidents in the line of duty are free."

Nejora, suprizingly, is up for joining extra hands. Perhaps she has a spark of ambition in her. perhaps she rolled poorly against will. The first little bit, the work is dull and a little pointless. After the fire, it becomes more meaningful, dealing with a lot of the fire's fallout. It also sees a number of new recruits, giving Nejora and Pacifica a bit of seniority.

On the morning of day 15 (the leading edge of the story, when Hua is released), Pacifica arrives at her duty station to find the entire area buzzing with rumors. Several arrests had been made, a man had been shot fleeing security, and they thought they might have a dreadstormer in custody. Maybe. Rumor had it two different firefights had occured yesterday, and they caught someone trying to start a fire.

The rumors in Daymar's mess the next morning are a lot more focused. There are a few rumbles of arrests in the rest of the ship, but everything is focused on them, and people are popping in for breakfast to ask people for first hand accounts...
