Re: 5b Theev 2 Varca, BB Nova, Krssh, Ingrid, Zhouth
In reply to Zhouth (msg # 104):
"Well, yeah, we want to get Silverhand to talk to us -- whether we recruit her, pay her, or torture her -- we need her to tell us where Redthane is." Varca says via speaker,
"And while I agree with you, Zhouth, that going after her sooner rather than later would be best, I got the impression from what Stitch said that the word has already gotten out that we are here looking for Redthane -- so it's probable that Silverhand already knows about us. But ... I don't think that means she's gonna run, yet. She's here to do a job for Redthane, and I don't think she's accomplished that, yet."
"And something else that Stitch said ... he said that Silverhand's hiding out alone in that wrecked ship, in the Scrap Heap, and that her Crew sometimes visits her ... that might mean that she doesn't have quick access to her ship. Like, it's hidden -- out in the desert, or up in a far orbit, or something--it's laying low, while she runs around trying to make a deal for Redthane."
"So, I don't think that Silverhand will be leaving the planet anytime soon--I hope--but we gotta assume she knows we're here, and that we're looking for her, and that means she'll be ready for us, when we do catch up with her. But I'm willing to bet that we have time to get back with the others, see what they've found out, and then come up with a plan to catch Silverhand, rather than just racing off after her, right now."
"Who knows ..." Varca adds with a chuckle, "Maybe me dropping Theo's name into Stitch's ear will pay off, and we get a call from his old Admiral-Buddy, sometime soon. But for now, let's just get back with everyone, compare notes -- then have Viridian and Krrsh tell us all about this Scrap Heap place..."
