[ Draft 5 ] Taking Initiative

[metharchy]

Several files have been taken from my quarters.

[There's some rustling in the background. Meth is searching for something, somewhere.]

I will forgive the intrusion in my room if my things are returned immediately--

[She breaks off abruptly, and then there's another loud noise as something drops to the ground where she's searching.]

These must be returned without further delay. Any information on the whereabouts of my things will be greatly appreciated.

They're my private files.

[Sorry, she's not about to describe the contents.]

Have you heard anything or seen anything?

[pimp-hat.livejournal.com]

[Worth a shot.]

No, but I'll keep an eye out.

[Not for her though.]

[metharchy.livejournal.com]

Let me know what you find out. [A pause, and then as if she's still having to remember...] Please.

[More rustling...and then she pauses once more.]

What is your name, passenger?

[Oh dammit, now he's torn between being a gentleman and his hatred of the crew. Well, he can always give them back after he's done copying anything important from them. It's not like this one has done anything to him yet.]

Will do.

Name be Kevas, and joo are?

[He's never really bothered learning the names of the crew members.]

[metharchy.livejournal.com]

Right. Good to meet you Kevas. I'm Meth, in charge of ship renovations.

[pimp-hat.livejournal.com]

[Right, the one that came aboard at the same time as that...thing.]

Good meetin' ja.

Joo know, if joo gave me an idea what to look fuh I'd have an easiah time findin' it.

Paperwork and diagrams within colored folders. If you're unsure whether they're what I'm looking for, bring them to me anyway.

[Better to be safe than sorry, right Kevas?]

[pimp-hat.livejournal.com]

[Diagrams? Probably blueprints. Those could be handy. The paperwork on the other hand, he's quite curious as to what that could be.]

Got it. Anyone in mind dat might have taken dem?

[metharchy.livejournal.com]

I have my suspicions.

[As soon as she narrowed down which cities were missing, she'd look through passenger files to see if anyone was from or near the towns before Redd picked them up.]
