The Vanguard soldiers start a route around the bar, weaving from table to table, eyeing the occupants as they go. “Sure somebody here saw something,” the taller one says. They stop at Falkenberg’s table. The shorter one points his gun at the captain. “Maybe it was you?” he asks Falkenberg.

He says something to his partner in Hekayan. His partner guffaws loudly, thumping a fist against his chest in amusement.

In her seat, Melania has slid the battle rifle to sit more comfortably into her lap than on her back. And she’s more than happy to sit in her former Vanguard combat uniform, even with the patches torn off and holding Vanguard weapons. Eyeballing the one pointing the gun at Falk, she subtly thumbs the safety on her rifle. “Kid, your military career is going to be ridiculously short if you don’t get that gun out of my Captain’s face. Suggest you go find yourself a TDY within your pay grade before coming here with a target painted on you.” That’s her only warning. Other than that, she takes a moment to gauge the distance and location between the two.

Kaxina possesses enough wherewithal to pay the soldiers a measured look when they pass her seat, though the crease in her forehead has not yet faded.

Altor settles in near the docked ships, doing a slow steady circuit around them as the deal goes down, his sensors keeping an eye out for any potential interlopers.
  
Falkenberg keeps his hands beneath the table. He eyes the Vanguard officer with the gun in his face. He looks not at the gun, but at the man’s eyes, holding his gaze. “Maybe it was,” he says calmly. “And then again maybe not. But I’m afraid you fine gentlemen may be a little unclear about just where you are and just what you’re doing. Why don’t you sit down and I’ll buy you both a drink. You can put your gun away, and my associates…” emphasizing the plural, “including the one you see next to me here, will put theirs away, and we can get to the bottom of what’s got you so upset.

Voices of a Mirror

The airlock hatch hisses, thunks, and slides open to reveal a pair of eight-foot-tall Hekayti, their bald blue-skinned heads spiky with bone ridges. Their hooves clomp on the deckplates as they move into the cramped airlock of the Llivori freighter. The leader eyes the small human hand poking toward him. He says something to his partner in Hekayan. His partner guffaws loudly, thumping a fist against his chest in amusement. Finally, the leader regards Akamatsu with something that might be construed as condescencion and says, in broken Terran Standard: "Boxes. Fast-fast."

Hal'gus stands vigilant, though more literally sitting back against the crate he's guarding with the bill of his cap pulled down over his face and his rifle leaning against his shoulder. A heavy brow raises somewhat as he follows Akamatsu out of the corner of his eye. "Hmpf. Biggerun. No-one jobified' 'im as firstalker. Problificatin', mayhap."

Altor settles in near the docked ships, doing a slow steady circuit around them as the deal goes down, his sensors keeping an eye out for any potential interlopers.

Akamatsu leads the Hekayti toward the boxes they are allowed to take making sure his hand is on his hilt without being to obvious incase it is needed.

"You do speak rather oddly." Anshera drawls down to Hal'gus, the fey child leaning over the side of her crate a bit to get a better view of him. After a moment she breaks view of the Halaghi, to instead peer towards the oncoing Hekayti.

Griss stays at the communication console. As long as there's nothing else that needs his attention, the Grimlahdi passes time by scanning for any nearby comm signals, trying to listen in for anything out of the ordinary.

"Careful," the leader grunts at his companion in Hekayan as they wander into the cargo hold after Akamatsu. "He might scratch you with that toy blade of his." Then his eyes fix on the extremely hairy-looking Hal'gus. "So much weakness." His companion nods in agreement, then moves to take the crate upon which Anshera is sitting.
