Telaliel nods slightly to the captain once things are taken care of, "ah...that explains things.  On my world such things belong to who they belong to...if they are still around to claim it. Otherwise, it simply becomes property of my house to decide what to do with."  She shrugs slightly, then looks to the ship, adrift in space.  "It will certainly make many things easier on Ælphera...as it stands, the space elevator is only just now past halfway complete and the magnetic launch system is...iffy at best.  We have only managed a few orbital devices.  This should make atmospheric lift much easier."<br/><br/>She turns back to the captain and bows gently, "thank you for this opportunity...of showing us your ship and seeing the stars this close.  In exchange, there is a particular matter of some delicacy that I would like to speak with you of, if you have some moments that we can talk in private?"
