Captain Lockheart:
*Lockheart salutes back and raises one eyebrow in question*

Lockheart
" ah, I see. And why is this ship of importance?"

* takes out his pipe and lights it. He then gestures to the blood on the floor.*

Lockheart
" I'm presuming it has something to do with that ghastly sight"

RearAdmiralZill:
-Saloon-

Zill gets BdrLine's message and thinks for a second. Why would the trail end there, only to show a ship was never there to begin with?  The scene panned out in Zill's mind and he called BdrLine back.
Zill
"BdrLine, see if you can follow my thinking. Say the blood trail is a fake to lead us away. If that's the case, then they want us to believe they are on a ship flying away, when really they are still in the city. Then you have the forged Dandy Lion log, since you're right, they do stay on their property, not public docks. Since I feel we are dealing with typical mercenaries, they just gave us a good location to search. Papa would know if they were on his grounds, but not the old grounds that they used to own in the northern district."

BdrLine
"You just thought of that in the span of a few minutes?"

Zill
"This isn't my first manhunt buddy. Now meet me over there, and tell the highest ranking offcial there to lock down the northern district, and send a few ships out over there. Might make the mercs think we took the bait and slow them down. They would of killed Yiski already if they wanted him dead. This is for info."

With that, Zill cut the comms, got a makeshift cane from the saloon wall, and made his way to the old Dandy Lion warehouses.

BdrLineAzn:
--Docks--

BdrLine on the radio
"Alright then Zill, I'll let them know."

With that he ends the call and walks back towards Plasmarobo. Lauren and the others sees him returning and goes towards him.

Lauren
"So what did Zill say."

BdrLine
"Well for starters, he believes that all of this is to lead us off and follow our mystery ship out of the city."

Roland
"So Yiski maybe in the city still?"

BdrLine
"That's what Zill said, he is heading over to the Northern District where the old Dandy Lions warehouses are. And speaking of which."

He turns to Plasmarobo, where also he sees Lockheart.

BdrLine
"Hey there Lockheart, I thought you were leaving back for home? Can you give us a minute, I got to talk to this man for a second."

Lockheart nods and Plasmarobo follows BdrLine. He gives Plasma back his radio and then says to him.

BdrLine
"Okay here's what the Admiral says, this may all be just a rouse. And since you are the only officer around, he wants to lock down the Northern District, but make it discreet, don't want to let them on. Also send out a few ships so to think we took the bait. Think you can handle it?"

Honeybadger:
Before Plasma could answer Honeybadger swung around him and gave him a slap on the back

Honeybadger
"No need to ask him! I am and exellent judge of character and I can say that this guy matches the description. Sure there might be rapists and gang members but this guy can handle it, I can tell!" This guy smells of anchovies... I need to get to a bathroom.

Plasma looks worriedly at Honeybadger who has a big smile across his face

Plasmarobo:
Who is this...? He makes me mildy uncomfortable. Now he is touching me? Doesn't matter. ORDERS FROM THE ADMIRAL!

He turns a bit pale, but immediately steels himself, nodding to the Honeybadger and saluting the others.
Plasma
"Yes sir. I think we can handle that sir. We're not needed here. In any case, the ship is long gone by now. I'll take a few men and do what I can."

He gives a final salute, now looking determined and turns to the group of uncertain soldiers nearby.

Plasma
"Alright men, new orders from the admiral. Report to the lieutenant. The Striker Commander is abord that boat. I want you four to man a squid in pursuit. The rest of you are on routine patrol with me."

Half the group immediately moves out. The other half and Plasma holster their weapons and begin a march to the Northern District.
