Milenya smiles, faintly.<span style="color: #6495ED">"Perhaps there are few collectors in Earth space, but if you're willing to look, there are many Asari who collect these things, regardless of the culture. I'll accept your offer, as a finder's fee. The proceeds from the sale of the rest of the books should be split as shares, I think, according to whatever standing agreement there is."</span>She stood silent as Firas brought up his concerns, and nodded at Cantenelli's assessment of the crew. She hadn't thought about it before, but the captain was right; the crew needed a win, needed some confidence in the ship and its command team.<br/><br/>*****<br/><br/>Milenya's rested, and tended to her projects, and checked to see that any sample remaining of the husks are still secured if they haven't been disposed of by plasma incineration.<br/><br/>The warp ammo module turned out to be quite simple; a microscopic amount of eezo was added to each projectile, and the standard magnetic impeller did the rest as it left a residual charge. If she used an eezo-laced ammo block, the weapon wouldn't even have to be modified. The result would give each pellet a little extra force behind it, thus increasing ammo capacity by allowing for smaller pellets. Further, the charged eezo would interact with lingering or active biotics, dealing a bit more damage by the micro-detonation of conflicting mass effect fields.<br/><br/>Looking at the layout of the slaver base, she starts by indicating the building labeled 'B'.<span style="color: #6495ED">"This... this is probably the holding area for their slaves, and likely their barracks as well. Given this slaver's proclivities and business, I would expect some of the victims to be distributed throughout the quarters, if not the entire facility, and others held in an open pen with sleeping furniture. Stacked cots or something of the like. Hacking the relay will give us an 'in' into their network, and allow us to potentially identify the ships that their victims are being carried on and their schedules. It would be a rough form of justice if we caught those ships as well. As for the vehicles,"</span>Milenya pauses in thought.<br/><br/><span style="color: #6495ED">"There are three major possibilities. First, and noisiest, is to sabotage them so that attempts to use them cause them to blow apart. Second, is to interdict them; if one goes active, the Acheron takes it apart. Third, is the riskiest option. Put tracers on the three shuttles. If someone gets away, they're likely to not be thinking straight. They'll go to wherever they think they have a safe refuge, which will most likely be an ancilliary base."</span><br/><br/>Milenya looks around at the others.<span style="color: #6495ED">"Some other things occur to me. Do not expect the victims to be cooperative. Some of them will be broken to the point they enthusiastically support their captors. Others will be eager to escape any perceived inevitable punishment, and will attempt to raise the alarm in the hopes of gaining better treatment in the future. Plan on all of them wearing some form of remote-triggered restraint. When it becomes clear that they're not winning, the slavers are likely to use them as hostages. All these things can be mitigated in time, but that will have to wait until after they've been released. If we're particularly lucky, we may be able to collect rewards for recovering some of them. And collect bounties on the slavers."</span><br/><br/>She turns her attention to the map again.<span style="color: #6495ED">"Building A is likely their command and control center. Any victims there are going to be extremely trusted and might even carry weapons. Building C...  probably has multiple functions. Intake processing, their auction house and guest quarters. Note the passage between buildings B and C; it isolates building C from the holding area and is probably very well monitored."</span><div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
