That's the size of it.

Well, I know I never got in enough trouble to have to go spend a rotation looking for it.

[ plus other more important things, but he's tactfully ignoring those for now. ]

[coffeeking]

And yet, here you are. Congratulations.

Why was anyone looking for it in the first place?

[sinewy]

I'd rather be back at home, if it's all the same.

I'd imagine because it's still missing. [ not sarcasm, he's just a plain spoken dude. ] Something that expensive up and disappears, nobody's ever really done looking for it.

[coffeeking]

Most everyone would prefer that.

Pretend no one here knows a thing about this solar system or any of its history. [because this is precisely true] You seem to be the only one here from here, so to speak. So, care to share?

[sinewy]

I'm starting to see that, now.

...all right. [ that's weird, but okay. ] Pasiphae, but all the same. What am I sharing?

[coffeeking]

Let's start with what you know about the Tranquility's origins and how it disappeared.

[sinewy]

[ there's a tone of reserved confusion, but no reason not to answer. ]

Government ship-- meant for colonization, went missing about... forty or fifty years ago? Right after launch.

[coffeeking]

That's pretty much in line with what we've been told. [But the pirates said it was a war ship...]

Do you know any details about why it went missing? Any reports with speculation, any last broadcasts, distress signals, anything of the sort?

NOT HERE;

[suddenlycaptain]

[ THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID ]

[leaps]

[ BUT WOW SULU CANNOT BE ANYMORE GLUED TO THIS. ]

ALSO NOT HERE
