Man I'm Just Trying To Shop For My Kid Here

Who: Otono-somethingsomething Makie and you
Broadcast: fleetwide audio.
Action: Junkstation
When: Soon after the events of this post.

[Audio]

There are slavers aboard the waystation who are actively seeking cargo.  [The mildly courteous tone Makie is known for is absent, though she doesn't sound angry.  Inflectionless.  Possibly a little strained, if anyone knows her well enough.] 

This is the second time I know of they've attempted to take someone, and this time they've succeeded.  His name is... Max.  He's a crew member of the Starstruck.

We know where he is.  [Thanks to polite inquiries made of a survivor.  Very polite inquiries.]  We need assistance to retrieve him. 

...and a doctor, also.  Thank you.

[...totally asking for Tempest on that last one, okay.]

We really are. I'd definitely be dead without healing items. We even have something that can bring someone back from near death, though that one's a lot harder to make. [He's very worried about Makie and everyone going, but.] ...if something happens, and you need a healer, would you call me? I know some people.

I will. And the offer is much appreciated. [She tucks the small bag of gels away carefully.] Though I will hope this offering will be assistance enough, and not necessary even so.

Thank you, Sorey.

It's fine. I wish- [Sorey stops himself, clenches a fist before resting a hand on her good shoulder, briefly.] I wish you the best of luck. I hope you get Max back safely.

[She's not sure what's going on with you, Sorey, but something sure is. She does her best to smile reassuringly, touches that hand lightly for a moment.]

We will. Try not to worry.

[Yeah do not even worry about his shit for like 1 second, you have a BLOODY SHOULDER] No guarantees. Be careful.

[Sorey will stick around until she actually leaves with any of her entourage, just in case, and predictably worries long after she's disappeared from sight.]
