In reply to Kaengarr Ruzokh (msg # 8):
Given the legal difficulties in actually charging the hijackers with anything, maybe we should just tranq them again, put them on their own ship, and head back. I just have this annoying thought that they will try to charge us with assault, kidnapping and piracy if we actually take them and their ship anywhere.
You have to keep in mind, with the resources we have been given (Very high+ tech exposed, military stuff, quick contracts, alot of leeway, Imperial assistance)...Think about that for a moment...There are powerful players/organizations/institutions involved on our side.
And, although I'm not the best lawyer, I bet you 1KCr that I can defeat any defense lawyer they can bring to bear...and if we win, we'll have a ship (talking about the Rockdancer), which we can keep and or trade in for X amount of ship shares towards something we really want.
Not to mention, I am fairly sure, my influence outweighs the defenses of claim-jumping potential pirates...and if it doesn't, well, what kind of an Imperial client state is Grendal? Get my point?
Anyways, that's the way I'm looking at it.
NOte: There's a couple of things I need to confirm with the GM before I say more....
