It was breaking the Ravager code and he knew it. Taking children from their homes all over the galaxy and bringing them to their father. He didn't bother asking why, the units were enough to satisfy him, that was until suspicion began arising.<br/><br/>Yondu Udonta had been trafficking children for Ego for years now. Each time he brought one back he was met with gratitude and given the name and approximate location of the next. He had wanted none of it after the first kid, but the promise of an increased payment in units kept the Ravager captain going back. It was during one of these deliveries that Yondu began to question where all the others were. It seemed that every time he brought a kid to Ego they disappeared. Sure, it was a big planet, but how could it be that all this time and not one had been seen? The Ravager captain would never admit it but he always developed a small connection with each kid during the brief time they were on his ship. Never having a family of his own outside of the Ravagers, the Centaurian always regretted leaving each one behind. He always secretly hoped at least one of them would remember him and come see him as he brought their brother or sister, but this never happened.<br/><br/>Whenever Yondu asked about them, Ego would quickly give him the next assignment and send him off. Yondu would find the kid, bring them back, and the cycle would repeat. Until now. As he boarded the M-Ship with a few members of his crew he had brought with him for this very purpose, Yondu piloted the ship towards the Elector but instead of boarding, he doubled back to the planet. Landing the M-Ship in one of the many fields, away from the usual place he met Ego, the Ravagers split up and began their hunt, not for pricey items, but for clues. He knew they didn't have much time before Ego would realize they were there so it was with great relief, and horror when Yondu came across a series of caves underneath the surface. Deep within the caverns were skeletons, many, many skeletons of children. Forcing back a wave of anger and his immediate thoughts of wanting to kill Ego right then (something he knew he physically couldn't do), Yondu contacted his crew and met back at the M-Ship. He didn't say what he had seen, but by his expression the others knew not to prod unless they wanted to be bedridden for a few weeks at best, at worst, an arrow through the skull.<br/><br/>Nobody was ever made aware of what their captain had discovered, and apart from Yondu's exclamations of Ego being an even bigger jackass than before, the subject was never brought up, that is, until they were sent on a hunt for a Terrain boy named Peter Quill. The crew that had been with the captain when they had delivered the last child knew that this one was going to bring them in even more units than before, something had to keep them from accepting the assignments after all and Ego knew this. He had seen the suspicion in the Ravagers and had needed something to take their mind off it, what better way then with units? This had done nothing to persuade Yondu, and after what he had seen in the cave, he was glad he had been able to see past what this man --- planet? was trying to pull.
