Well, if what Blaze was telling me in the last post above yours was that kheperu was never here at all, Aka there is no lab, then there is no reason to be gaurding it.<br/><br/>However if that is not how the collosal miscomunication is curently turning out, and there is in fact an alchemy lab on this ship as well...<br/><br/>Then I may know, metagame, that the ship blew up to take defunct charecters out of the game, but Bast is not privy to that inforamtion and suspects saboteurs.  The last thing she wants is to let sabatuers near another ships alchemy lab, one that doesn't contain much firedust but might contain unkown amounts of Ardent Embrace Resin and the Incarna are surely too enthralled with the Games of Divinity to know what else.
