The General listened to what this man had to tell. Metal. Armaments. Suggestions on how to act. He kept silent through it all. He did not care much for the outsider's own theories on what would be the working strategy, but they did serve to strengthen the intel he provided. Of course, it could still all be an ambush and any force they would bring in would be actually considered by Admiral Teng and his second and third in command, but this was intel nonetheless. And quite possibly bountiful intel at that.

The General rapped his sharp fingers against his table when Vropda opened her mouth. She asked a fair question of the interrogatee, one that Creft too would be interested in hearing. If they had a name there was bound to be people who woud know of them. If not in the Fleet, then in the UFP. It would make much more sense for the Fleet to report having ousted a group of known individuals than simply claim "They sure were slavers!" Some much needed legitimacy and all. He remained silent, waiting for an answer.
