Industrial Intrigue
Lyla thought a while on what Jameth and Parek told them. So far, it seemed straightforward, but with so many parties involved, with and against them, it all had the potential to get dangerous complicated. And she'd rather work that out now. Something didn't fit right here. 'If the pirates or their allies are mining Alluuvia in secret, then it's strange that they'd let you go after seeing their operation, or at least that container ship.. To be honest, if would've been better for them to kill you all, and let RMC write your team and the world off as too dangerous. A ransom demand draws more attention to Alluuvia.' Lyla mused, trying not to remark too bluntly on Parek's fate. 'Or maybe they don't know you saw the container, or maybe they're greedy, desperate, or dumb, I don't know.' she shrugged away the issue, for now.
'You saw those pirates, right? Can you describe them? Races, names, equipment, uniform?' she probed Parek for more information. If they were Imperials undercover, they would all be of a type.
