Red Wasp couldn't identify a quick way to resolve the situation, other than to avoid conflict.  Without knowing what they were after, it was impossible to determine how to resolve it.  That they had seized and fortified the ship, and were still there some time after they arrived, hinted that it was not a simple smash and grab type robbery.<br/><br/>Quasar's best guess was that the greatest danger was whatever the villain was after, unless they had taken hostages.  The Authoritarian wouldn't have attacked if he wasn't after something specific.  However without knowing what it was, it was impossible to say if he was after some strange device, a dangerous chemical, a person, or something else.<br/><br/>Quasar could spot two well-armed men, dressed as they had been at the newspaper, at the front of the ship, and another two at the rear.  Occasionally another guard would step out of a door that lead to what was probably the bridge.  Finally, there were four men immediately visible on the dock, two of them standing next to tires so that they were concealed from where Red Wasp was standing.<br/><br/>The ship had a crane at the rear that seemed to be used to load and unload cargo.  The rear deck had a large set of double doors, though they were currently closed.  There was a large amount of communication equipment on the superstructure.  There was equipment on the side and deck of the ship that Quasar assumed was for loading and unloading divers and submersible ROVs.  There was a single door, leading into the superstructure from the rear deck, with a number of hazardous material symbols.  Flammable, radioactive, and laser.  The rest of the doors lacked similar warnings.<br/><br/>It was a long walk for Spitfire, through not entirely pleasant areas of the city.  The rioters seemed to avoid her though, not wanting to mess with a heroine.
