[@Ashevelendar] "Not a bad idea, but we'll need to make sure the distraction draws the people far away before the collars turn off.  Any guard that sees a slave without an active collar will try to subdue them, and might risk hurting them.  We can see if any of the slaves were willing to fight, and arm any that are with Titanan weapons."  During their basic training they would have learned to use such weapons, even if they chose not to.  There was a button on the right side that glowed purple when the gun wasn't charged, red when charging or discharging, and yellow when charged.  Pushing the button either charged or discharged the gun's main capacitor, and a button on the bottom of the handle released the power cell.  "They can help us get the non-fighters out on the ship with Tra'cha and then we can steal another cargo ship.  I'm a good enough pilot to get us out of there.  At least one of us will need to stay with the slaves, though.  I don't think they'll handle flying off with no one but a Titanan pilot too well.  We can't go back to the base, in case it's got a tracking device, but we can meet a scanning crew somewhere remote, say Safehouse Beta, and have it cleared before we bring it back here."

[@Letter Bee] "Actually, they're loading the ship right now.  Four crates of bear steaks, two crates of maple syrup, and two crates of Jack Daniels.  All of which are in high demand by the other Warrior States.  The slave will get sold in twenty hours or so, and we want to make it look like we're meant to be there before we set them free.  Otherwise the guards might be suspicious of us.  We're scheduled for takeoff in fifteen minutes."
