<div class="floatleft">(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/e/e3/BronKonnar.jpg)</div>"Wish I knew. I'm just a mechanic on a backwater planet who talks a bit to freighter crews now and then and keeps his ears open." The way Konnar speaks before he gulps some more beer is quite serious. At the end of the day he may be your primary contact in the sector, but he is just one guy. He keeps his ears open, but he's not at the center of a real information network.<br/><br/>"And the thing about bureaucracies? Larger they get the more likely you may be to find someone willing to talk a bit, but the larger the bureaucracy, the less likely that person is to know more than a very tiny piece of the whole picture. If you really want to get the big picture you'd need one of the Vandorian nobles, and someone pretty high up at that. That's a bit beyond my reach.<br/><br/>"But... what I do know is that the Imperials have pulled the<em>Cutlass</em>away from her regular patrol duties in this part of the sector. No idea where she is right now, but she's been spotted on a course that could maybe lead her to Vandor or Dandarion. My guess is she's going for restocking and resupply, but the same happened with the<em>Falchion</em>about two months ago. Only those ships should have enough supplies on board to last them for years. Two of them being pulled off patrol duty in such a short time makes me wonder what's going on."<br/><br/>(OOC: The<em>Falchion</em>is the frigate that stopped the Magpie at MT-36195, so, obviously, she's back on duty now.)
