Paved With Daggers

Iori quickly asked for a moment and cut the channel. Then he motioned to his first mate to come closer. He was a stocky man, and was the more practical, down-to-earth of the two.

"I don't like this, something's not right here. Patch me through to the KNF command in the area and request information on the 'KNS Kataki'."

He nodded and moved to the comm station. Iori paced some, considering his options. Somehow, sensor readings were showing that the firepower displayed by the gunboat was greater than that of the average Naval Forces Gunboat. This wasn't a comfortable position.

Walking to the comm station himself, he made up his mind.

"Hail the Kataki and tell them they are cleared to dock with us, and send security teams to meet them. I don't want any trouble. We'll try to stall until we've heard back from the Naval Forces."
