We’ve got a full passenger load, and I’ve picked up enough Freight to finish filling up the Cargo Bay. So we’re good to go.<\/p>\n
After breakfast, I wandered over to the starport to see how the Grayswandir<\/em> was doing. Maintenance seemed to have been completed, and a few stacks of cargo were sitting in the pad with us. I opened the bay and had the cargobots carry what was there inside. I trusted the computer to handle the load balancing. Saahna probably wouldn’t like it, but she wasn’t here.<\/p>\n Once that was taken care of, I looked through the ship. Everything seemed to be okay, but struck by an idea, I started looking around more carefully.<\/p>\n In both the Crew and Passenger Lounges, I found a disc identical to the one I had placed in the Uptown Downport<\/em>. I frowned. How many more of them were there on the ship?<\/p>\n I pinged the ship’s computer. “Hey, Gray?”<\/p>\n “Yes?” Her precisely modulated voice came on. “How can I help you, Captain Kodai?”<\/p>\n “Did you see who placed these things here?”<\/p>\n “What ‘things’ are you referring to, Captain?”<\/p>\n I sighed. “There is a device under the table here and another behind the lounge in the passenger cabin. Did you see who put them there?”<\/p>\n “No, Captain. I did not. And my internal log files do not show anything.” There was a pause. “Both devices are emitting a comm signal.”<\/p>\n “Are there any others?”<\/p>\n Another pause. “Yes. One on the Bridge and one in Engineering.”<\/p>\n I cursed under my breath. “Thanks, Gray.” I pulled the disc free from beneath the table in the Crew Lounge; it was surprisingly harder to do than I expected. Then I went to the Passenger Lounge and removed the one I had found there. Next were Engineering and the Bridge, where I looked and eventually found those discs. I collected all four of them.<\/p>\n “Gray?” I asked again.<\/p>\n “Yes, Captain?”<\/p>\n “Start keeping our internal logs for a few weeks. Say four. And notify me at once if you detect any internal broadcast. Well, anything that isn’t coming from one of the crew or a passenger.”<\/p>\n “Of course, Captain.”<\/p>\n “Thanks, Gray.”<\/p>\n I made a final walk-around of the ship, then left. Outside, in the bay, I saw a cargobot and stuck the discs I had removed onto one of its arms. It squawked in anger, but I ignored it and headed toward one of the bars surrounding the starport.<\/p>\n The place I wound up in was called the Singularity<\/em>. It was a bit of a dive, even by starport standards, but I figured that might actually make it a better place to stay for a while. I sat down at the bar and, when they didn’t have an Imperial Boil, just ordered a Galactose Intolerance. Every place has that.<\/p>\n I pulled up my comp and idly flicked through it for a bit. Whoever had placed those scanners on the Grayswandir<\/em> would, of course, know I had found and removed them. I’d have to sweep the ship again after we cleared atmo, but before we hit Jumpspace. I’d just toss them out then.<\/p>\n I shrugged and pinged the crew, telling them to meet me at the Singularity<\/em> tomorrow for the pre-lift meetup. It was as good a place as any, and no one could complain about me dragging them across town again.<\/p>\n I stayed there longer than I should have. And probably had a few more Intolerances than I should. I wondered again if Captain Anna had ever had to deal with things like this. Eventually, I wandered back to the room and recorded this. Time for sleep. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Someone boards the Grayswandir<\/EM> and leaves several of the disc scanners behind. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[2],"tags":[7,6,5,4,3],"class_list":["post-248","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-log-entry","tag-rpg","tag-sci-fi","tag-sf","tag-ships-log","tag-traveller"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p8uJmm-40","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":168,"url":"https:\/\/logofthegrayswandir.com\/index.php\/2017\/09\/01\/035-1117-boilingbrook-adarhinterworlds\/","url_meta":{"origin":248,"position":0},"title":"035-1117 – Boilingbrook – Adar\/Hinterworlds","author":"Derek Kodai","date":"2017-09-01","format":false,"excerpt":"Derek works on collecting cargoes and decides to continue towards the Anubian Trade Coalition.","rel":"","context":"In "Log Entry"","block_context":{"text":"Log Entry","link":"https:\/\/logofthegrayswandir.com\/index.php\/category\/log-entry\/"},"img":{"alt_text":"","src":"","width":0,"height":0},"classes":[]},{"id":360,"url":"https:\/\/logofthegrayswandir.com\/index.php\/2017\/12\/29\/052-1117-kupakii-tlianke-hinterworlds\/","url_meta":{"origin":248,"position":1},"title":"052-1117 – Kupakii – Tlianke\/Hinterworlds","author":"Derek Kodai","date":"2017-12-29","format":false,"excerpt":"Cargoes ready, the crew starts making preparations for departure.","rel":"","context":"In "Log Entry"","block_context":{"text":"Log Entry","link":"https:\/\/logofthegrayswandir.com\/index.php\/category\/log-entry\/"},"img":{"alt_text":"","src":"","width":0,"height":0},"classes":[]},{"id":38,"url":"https:\/\/logofthegrayswandir.com\/index.php\/2017\/02\/17\/007-1117-venad-adarhinterworlds\/","url_meta":{"origin":248,"position":2},"title":"007-1117 – Venad – Adar\/Hinterworlds","author":"Derek Kodai","date":"2017-02-17","format":false,"excerpt":"Derek spends a last day with Halley before they head their separate ways","rel":"","context":"In "Log Entry"","block_context":{"text":"Log Entry","link":"https:\/\/logofthegrayswandir.com\/index.php\/category\/log-entry\/"},"img":{"alt_text":"","src":"","width":0,"height":0},"classes":[]},{"id":40,"url":"https:\/\/logofthegrayswandir.com\/index.php\/2017\/02\/24\/008-1117-venad-adarhinterworlds\/","url_meta":{"origin":248,"position":3},"title":"008-1117 – Venad – Adar\/Hinterworlds","author":"Derek Kodai","date":"2017-02-24","format":false,"excerpt":"Derek and Halley say goodbye.","rel":"","context":"In "Log Entry"","block_context":{"text":"Log Entry","link":"https:\/\/logofthegrayswandir.com\/index.php\/category\/log-entry\/"},"img":{"alt_text":"","src":"","width":0,"height":0},"classes":[]},{"id":36,"url":"https:\/\/logofthegrayswandir.com\/index.php\/2017\/02\/10\/006-1117-venad-adarhinterworlds\/","url_meta":{"origin":248,"position":4},"title":"006-1117 – Venad – Adar\/Hinterworlds","author":"Derek Kodai","date":"2017-02-10","format":false,"excerpt":"With the ship almost ready, Derek posts for passengers to Fugitak and finds some cargo to trade.
