TRANQUILITY is escorted to the alliance cruiser DORTMUNDER and is immediatley boarded.
the crew is all standing at the open bay door as the alliance soldiers enter. they begin to search TRANQUILITY for a cryobox.
SHADOW thinks:
* i hope PATHFINDER camoflauged that box." *
the crew is taken to a holding area and are questioned, one by one.
captain SHADOW is the 1st to be questioned.
alliance officer KORG:
"captain, what where you doing near that cargo ship?"
SHADOW: "we're just moving cargo."
KORG: "don't get smart, captain."
"did you have anything to do with the destruction of a facility on silas 5?"
SHADOW: "how could a firefly crew destroy a heavilly guarded alliance facility? that would make the alliance look ridiculous."
KORG: "did you steal a cryobox from the SS TOLKIEN?"
SHADOW: "have you checked the TOLKIEN? if you search the TOLKIEN i'm sure you will find the cryobox."
KORG: "if it's not on your ship captain, then we WILL search the TOLKIEN."
the interrogation continues as the other crewmembers are questioned in other rooms.......

PathFinder : Heads to the Cargo Bay.
Assembles the Camoflauge Panels hiding the Cryo-Unit and
Secures the Cryo-Unit to the Grave Plating, by 62 tons,
as labeled by the Layden ticket on the side of the ORE Bin of the Camoflauge Panel.
Then sprinkles Soduim Slufur Ore dust beside the Bin;
which the odor brings a found memory 
& PathFinder decides; this would be a good time to be in his Cargo Skiff out of sight
and Safe from Scans as just more ORE .
Perhaps of better use to TRANQUILITY's crew if needed.
TRANQUILITY is escorted to the alliance cruiser DORTMUNDER
The Crew Peers out the window as the alliance cruiser Docks.
....... ....... . . . . . ;. ........ .......
The alliance purple bellies begin their search around the camoflauged Cryo-Unit
Overturning crates and skattering their contents with out descreation.
Taking small items they fancy for themselves.
"Tung ... shu... way..."
One alliance officer decides to scoop up some Soduim Slufur Ore dust beside the Bin
as well as his new found booty. Upon a whiff of the Ore's odor he glances at the lable on the bin
and decides to have none of either the now smelly pretty~s or a look in the bin.
With a kick of his JackBoot he limps away to search elsewhere.
Several Hours later the purple bellied alliance officers assemble in the cargo bay
and leave TRANQUILITY in disappointment.

---irish is sitting in an interregation room with Korg who is going over Irish's file---
Korg- there seems to be quite alot missing from your file. Looks to be Classified. Do you have any reason as to why, that information might be classifed?
Irish- maybe because it was meant to be a secret...hence the term "Classifed"
Korg- Don't get smart with me.
---Korg reaches down and pulls out another piece of paper---
Korg- lucky for you, nothing stays classified for very long. Lets see...
Name: Traker O'conner
Alias: Irish
Age: 32
weight: 245
Eyes: Dark Brown
Hair: Black
Height: 6'1
Birthplace: Persephone
....it also says here, you been arrested quite a few times for the destruction of Alliance property, illegal entry of alliance building and Aiding known fugitives on: Persephone, your home planet, Lengium, Pr'toss, and Silas 4, Silas 3 and Silas 5.
Irish- that is correct. I did my time.But all that is in the past. Now I travel the verse, in search of new learnings from those who are willing to teach.
Korg- (chuckles) well the alliance is always willing to teach....
Irish- well, I guess, when the smart kid finally gets desperate to except help from the kid who sits in the back of the class and sleeps, then i'll come to you, but until then, i'll manage on my own.
Korg- that's...thats very funny....so I take it you're going to tell me another joke, like you weren't anywhere near slias 5 when it was reduced to rubble. A bunch of innocent people lost their lives in that explosion!
Irish- I'm sorry, by innocent people, you mean the people that were held as slaves on that plaent.
Korg- I mean the alliance staff that was post there to do their job. No cares about a bunch of drifters and planet hoppers! Anyways, answer my question....
Irish- No, i was nowhere near silas 5, I will admit I was in the silas region....
Korg- where about?
Irish- silas 2
Korg- now why would a fellow such as yourself be doing on a dead planet like silas 2.
Irish- its where I do my research.
Korg- what type of research?
Irish- ...weapons mostly, few high explovises. Oh, and some mission work.
Korg- you're a preacher cause it say here that you're a Contact for an underground group called "Cure". A Group formed to help stop the alliance from performing "rumored" experiments on humans.
---irish closes his eyes at the comment and prepares himself for the next round of questions---
Korg- so you're on silas 2, annnd just all of a sudden you decide to leave, end up hitching a ride on the next passing vessel that happened to be passing by, that just so happened to be a our rogue class firefly vessel we've been looking for, for months now.
Irish- correct, except at the time, I did not know there the alliance had any particuluar interest in this ship or the crew.
---Korg jots downs a few notes onto a pad of paper and continues with interragtion---
Korg-.......so, I'm lead to believe that some property, a cryobox to be more specific, was taken from the SS. Tolkien. I think, we may find it on the ship, the same ship you're. You know what that means if we do find the box on the ship. (Grins) that will make you an assessory to a crime, but hell, I will personally make sure you a tried for more then a mere acessory charge......
Irish- that's "if" you find this so called box on board the ship
Korg- yes of course....when I find the box on the ship.
---korg motions to two guards to take Irish out of the room--
Korg- one more thing, have you ever seen this man before.
---irish is given the picture by one of the alliance guards. Even though irish doesn't display the pure shock of his face, deep inside, his mind begins to race, his stomach tightens and questions start to suddenly answer themselves. Irish looks up towards Korg--
Irish- He looks dangerous, but no, I have never seen this man in my life. May I ask, Strictly outta curiousity mind you, the name of this fellow and possibly why you are inquiring about this...boy.
Korg- not that it's any y

The door opens and out comes Irish with a strange look on his face, the guard looks at shiny and says "lets go your next".
Shiny sits across from Korg as he looks over her file and whispers to the other guard.
Korg: This file says your Shinyfrye from harvest,
is that true?
Shiny: Yes thats where my family is from.
korg: so your father is Barronfrye? the owner of Frye estates?
Shiny: yes thats all true
Korg; well its says here you are engaged to be married to LT Jaykins, He is one of the greatest LT's the alliance has seen in awhile, He is so young to be moving up in the ranks so quick.
It also say's here that your family holds fundraisers for the alliance and also donates from their private funds.
But I am a little confused Shiny as to why your family would allow you to travel with this crew,They do know your here don't they?
Shiny: Yes it is true that my family funds the alliance, They believe that the alliance is doing good work at thier training facilities.(Shiny thinking to herself in Disgust: real good work like silas 5).
Shiny: so it even says in the file about my engagement, The alliance does real good work with getting info. (Shiny thinking: of course Jaykins is too proud to tell anyone the truth).
Shiny: with all due respect Korg do you really think my family does not know my where abouts? lets just say, I'm traveling the verse to see the good the alliance has done. After all my family would like to know their money is being used to the fullest.
Korg: Yes...I see ok Shiny we are through with you, But if we find the stolen cryobox on this ship we wil contact LT Jaykins so he could escort you home, no charges will be brought on you We understand your innocence in this. You may leave.
Shiny gets up smiles at Korg and says thank you,But inside she feels sick to her stomach,(thinking) If Jaykins gets word of this.....
Korg: Shiny one more thing it says here that you are the mechanic, how did that happen?
Shiny: Well I took up the hobbie of mechanics as a small child, The engines have all those workings and stuff its like they talk to me, and i just know what to do.
Korg looking slighly confused motions for the guard to escort shiny out and call for the next crew member.
...Also, I can kill you with my brain.

during the interrogation, a guard enters and says:
"commander KORG, the [decoy] cryobox has been found intact on the cargo ship."
KORG: "ok. captain, you and your crew are free to go."
SHADOW coms crew: "everyone get back on TRANQUILITY at once. O2 get the engines warm."
the crew assemble back on TRANQUILITY and they hit the black.
SHADOW and PATHFINDER go back to the cargo hold to check the [real] cryobox. with the rest of the crew gathered around, they find that the time-lock has unlocked and the contents of the box can now be seen.
SHADOW: "lets see what what we almost got ourselves killed over."
SHADOW unlatches the cover and pushes the top of the box off. a smokey gas from the inside of the cryobox pours out slowly...............................
the crew all gasp at what they see inside.

---irish, stunned at the sight---
Irish- it maybe just me, but I think we are all in a peck of trouble here. This...this is highy usual,even for the alliance.
---turns to captian---
Irish- you realize the kinda trouble we're in. I mean, we were lucky with path's cloaking sheet, but when they reach port and realize there was a switch, they're gonna come looking for this ship and her crew.
I will find him among you,even though you don't see him........

Shiny listening to what Irish is saying,
Shiny:
Capt I never told you the whole truth about why I joined TQ.( shiny proceeds to tell captian about her family and LT Jaykins)
Shiny: you know capt, when LT Jaykins gets word of this He will look for me, I got away with this once but I don't think I will be lucky next time.
Shiny looks at Irish and wishes he was Oreo at that moment, She knows Oreo would never let anything bad happen to her.
Capt: Shiny you leave the worrying to me.
Shiny nods her head, and looks at the cryobox in
disbelief.
...Also, I can kill you with my brain.

...as the gassy smoke clears, the contents of the box become visible.
2 figures appear, lying down, twins.
they slowly wake up... and then scream with fear and shock.
the crew starts to try to calm them down.
just then, SHADOW notices a disk attached to the inside of the lid of the box.
"KAT, take care of these two while i go see what's on this disk."
SHADOW brings the disk to the bridge and put the disk into the ships computer - T.O.B.I.
the computer display shows that the twins where part of an alliance experiment breeding 'readers' and the multiplied effect that twins would be able to provide.
the display then shows the black market transaction that put the twins in the cryobox and on the black market cargo ship bound for bellerophone floating estates, for unknown reasons.
"so BADGER had us steal from 1 black market dealer on bellerophone, to give these twins to another black market dealer - HIM. but why?
slaves! he's done that before."
SHADOW returns to the crew who have now sedated the twins for their own safety and put them in the infirmary.
SHADOW calls everyone to the galley and tells them what he has just learned.
"ok, we have a moral dilemna. we can take the twins to BADGER on persephone and get paid or we can try to get the twins to safety, say Aquila, or some other safe house. i'm open for suggestions..."
