NARRATOR: Aboard Gruuli's Legacy...

KATHRYN: Marshall, this is Sareff. She insists we create a new work category.

KATHRYN: She's an attorney.

PERI: Oh. Yeah, we might need legal help soon.

KATHRYN: Sareff, tell the marshal what you told me.

SAREFF: Per section one-one-eight of the

KATHRYN: *interrupting* Except tell it shorter.

SAREFF: There is a prison camp on Shewmiel Five.

KATHRYN: The really cold rock out there.

SAREFF: If you have proof that the Fobott'r crew of Soulward Honor fell victim to piracy

KATHRYN: And we have plenty of proof

SAREFF: Then those prisoners are slaves.

KATHRYN: And slavery is very illegal.

SAREFF: The penalties include asset forfeiture.

PERI: So... Soulward Honor's crew...

PERI: They're alive?

SAREFF: And if I can file some motions, they will soon own Shewmiel Five.

KATHRYN: Peri, the mines weren't damaged in the disaster. Between that facility and Kaepu's construction platform, this little refugee city can be a real city in a few weeks.

SAREFF: But filing motions won't help if the slaves aren't able to testify, and they're held by armed guards who are aware of this.

PERI: You want us to create a workgroup for rescuing slaves?

SAREFF: Is that a problem? It looks like some of you know how to use guns.
