He leaned back with a grin plastered to his face. “That’s why I don’t plan to give her any time to get a hold of anyone. We take this cruise to a system that I believe she’s located in. The ship should be making a few stops, one of them being an old trading post. I believe she’s holed herself there, out of the way. All we need to do is go in, find her quickly, and confront her. My hope is that once this all happens, your sense of honor and duty will arise and take action. She’ll have no choice but to accept your help. Maybe she’ll be more open to sharing information then.”

Dawson then leaned forward, considering her. “Do you have suggestions perhaps? I’m open to thoughts and changes if you believe something will work better.”

Valkris sat there, absorbing the plan in its entirety. It had its flaws like any other plan, but she couldn’t come up with better options. She leaned back to sip her drink then commented on the last thing they needed to cover.

“I can’t come up with anything better.” Her fingers slid back the image of the woman to the man.

“Do we have a way out if things crumble? Or is this something that spells trouble if it does?” She suspected it would be the later. This put increased pressure on things going exactly as planned and without issues.

By this time, the woman came sauntering back with their orders in hand. She listed them off as she set each plate down in front of the owner.

“Is there anything else I can get you?” She asked in a polite fashion.

“No,” Valkris answered for herself.

Dawson shook his head to the woman, allowing her to leave.

Once she was out of earshot, he then spoke more to Valkris. “Nothing definite. I don’t suspect she would put much risk in front of people on a cruise, which will help us ultimately to escape if we can get back to them. I figured we would see how it things go. Pay attention to surroundings and such. I’m able to commandeer a vehicle if need be. And I don’t necessarily need a weapon either.” After his final sentence he flexed his hands for emphasis.

“Risky, yes, but your help might prove to be exceptionally useful,” he added. “What do you think?”

-Dawson, Owner of Secret Securities

“I can’t say I’m the most comfortable with it, but you can count me in. I might be able to control some of the consequences. It is no worse than the smuggler experience.” Valkris stated as she began to dig into her food.

She slurped up some of the long, worm-like creatures in her side dish. They slipped down easily causing her gut to glow. Wiping her mouth in order to speak, she tried to recall something.

Dawson watched with an amused look. He was no fan of the dish, but found it interesting that klingons were so into it. A statement of the culture for sure. Regardless of their dieting habits, Dawson knew he could still go toe to toe with a klingon anyday.

“I don’t think we established what time you will need me to be ready, did we?”

OOC I guess, one more bump. >.<

He gave a light chuckle as he leaned back. “The Black Sparrow leaves tomorrow morning. Feel free to pack what you like, but try your best to keep weapons concealed.
I’ll see if I can sneak something for us aboard. If it’s confiscated, oh well. We can get them back afterwards. Think you can manage?” he inquired before taking a bit of his own breakfast.

“If I just bring one, it shouldn’t be an issue. I have a blade I could easily hide and Klingons tend to travel armed anyways.” Valkris stated, her words noted her proud hertiage.

She had about a quarter of her meal done by the time she answered. After a sip of her drink, she then commented on his look earlier.

“Not a fan of Klingon food? It’s all right, not many are.”

–Ensign Valkris MacLaren, Sec

OOC: Round three to keep this on the page.

Dawson shrugged. “Not this morning, anyway. Had it, but I enjoy other things more.”

He paused, allowing some small talk to take place. “How are you enjoying Oed so far? Aside from the crazy missions that seem to be taking place.”

-Dawson, Owner of Secret Securities

Valkris nodded in understanding.

“I grew up on it, so the strong favors are my usual go to. However, some times I do enjoy a Taspar egg or Neemuk. It’s a taste my mother, brother, and I all enjoy. My nephew prefers his Taspar egg steamed rather than boiled.”

She then moved onto his next question with a thoughtful pause. “It’s different from being assigned to a ship. Despite the excitement during the zoo smugglers, most of it has been routine. It’s nice to be close to my family rather in space for months on end.”

OOC: This (https://www.star-fleet.com/core/stf6/oedv/posts/108378/) would be a good thread for us to jump in on. The black sparrow is on it’s way and that was where I was figuring Valkris and Dawson would be as they get their little mission underway.

OOC: Hopping in there shortly.
