"Indeed." Rareth answered to Ashley as she joined her in the common area. "It has been a long time since I have been sent to a hostage situation. This one seems particularly strange. Usually, hostages are either for demands, or protection. Since they have made no demands, I can only assume they are keeping them for protection, but for what reason? From everything I read in the briefing, this seems like a normal mining station. Certainly valuable to the right people, but unless they are planning to stick around to mine the planet, which would be fairly impossible for them, it would be pretty useless. Perhaps we'll be able to figure this out when we arrive. Anyway, I don't think I will be replicating last night or anything, but we should go get a drink, catch up. We haven't been able to speak much over the last few days." Rareth suggested as she started off towards her room. 

With their mission now explained and their departure planned, the rest of the day seemed to pass fairly quickly. There were a few final pieces of business that needed to be handled before they left, but the Assembly was quick to help take care of them. Ashley had the clearance to move her ship into the hanger of the one they would be using. It was a corvette of Rothian make, so its hanger was just large enough to fit it. Instead of its original crew, this vessel would be manned by an Assembly sponsored crew, to help minimize any potential conflicts. The rest of the crew was able to forward any and all special requests to the ship's requisitions officer, a Human named Akilah bint Fadia al-Harthi. She did her best to fulfill the requests, though they were all fairly short notice. 

After a night's rest, the team had to wake up early to arrive on time for the ship's departure. The Assembly was helpful enough to send some crew members to help move their belongings, for those who were comfortable enough to allow others to handle their things, at least. Rareth had no issue in allowing the crew to help her, so she was among the first to arrive at the dropship waiting for them on the landing pad just atop the building. It probably wasn't necessary at this point, but she still wore her formal suit, just in case there was someone she needed to make an impression on. She sat down in one of the seats closest to the dropship's loading ramp. As it was a military vessel, it wasn't quite as comfortable as she was used to, but at least it was a Rothian dropship, so the seats were of the appropriate size for her. The others would be able to fit just fine, they might just look a bit small in their seats.
