Meta lets out a sigh of relief as his ship safely arrives in close proximity of the Quatis fleet without any noticeable damage. However, the real danger would then present itself, as his sensor array detects an unknown number of large unidentified objects closing in on the solar system. He could worry about that later, but what did catch his attention was the threat of destruction from the Sporn and the incoming Sporn ship that was powering up its weapons. Several other notifications then appear on his helmet's HUD, however, he dismisses them to focus on the more important task at hand. 

He starts up the Tempest's sunlight engines before maneuvering towards the hangar of the closest Quatis ship, intending to dock. He proceeds to contact Palin and let him know that he was going to be docking, right up until Palin contacted him first, apparently aware that Gavon's daughter was with him. She asks Meta a question, provoking a period of silence, before he quickly draws his pistol and blasts Sahmi with a stun shot before she could react. As she falls to the floor, now unconscious, he shoots an additional stun dart from his wrist gauntlet, just to make sure that she stays like that for a while. Meta then switches to the comms and speaks to Palin:

[b]Meta:[/b] Our deal is fully intact, she was just a... problematic stowaway. I have subdued the girl and rendered her unconscious, and I will be attempting to dock in the hangar of one of your ships now. You may claim her at any time of your liking, do I have your permission to do so?

As he waits for a reply, he switches to Niner's comms and informs him to bring an escort of Instigators with him and escort Sahmi to the prison block.
