The Duane Lee Chapman Memorial Bar and Grill, Sheffield Station; "Sniffer" Martinez, proprietor

[Zapp]

A Hammerhead fighter enters Sheffield, and out of it comes a brisk Esther Carson. She's met by a stocky man, Jesse O'Brian. He is the first mate of the Prodigal Daughter, Esther's Orca gunboat.

"I tracked 'er, ma'am. She's in the bar. Just got checked outta the Psych ward. I checked her file, get this..." he leans forward and whispers, "she got amnesia..."

Esther thanks him succinctly, and storms off for the bar. When she gets there, she enters like a hunter on the track of some prey, and quite a few of the Hunters in the establishment notice this. The sound of blasters easing in holsters and chairs scraping back slowly makes a momentary cacophony. She quickly spots Carly -- Carolyn -- and comes up behind her.

"Hey there," she says with a level tone.
