Orion scowls and taps at his comm panel to end and purge the message, more out of habit than any real concern that the message could compromise him somehow. Probably another junk run and he was either hoping someone would be foolish enough to take it off him or he'd ambush Orion with a different job all together as soon as he got in the door.

"Gnabik, what are you up to now you no good Sluffer..." 

He muttered half to himself even as the blinking lights of the AI terminal for the Ninshubar whirred to life. A faint hum started, then a slightly rusty clang, before the hum resumed and then a light blue ball began to rapidly construct itself over the display. As it completed itself and electronic runes rippled over it, the ball pivoted as if turning to face the Ki pilot.

[color=cyan]"Another wild goose chase no doubt, you'd be better to focus on your existing contract with master Ohl’en; such a respectable young man compared to your usual clientele"[/color]

The AI suggested in a rather smug tone that suggested it was pleased to not have another rough hoodlum riding in the back for once. Orion shrugged at the point and then checked his displays as they set a course to dock with Odyssey station; he noticed his passenger had also received a similar message once they got into short burst range.

[color=cyan]"Well that is interesting, looks like Gnabik's encryption keys but from the message origin he didn't know he was on our ship. Just set to send when his comm system pinged for messages.[/color]

Nin commented, his holographic spherical presence contracting and dilating as if focusing on the information.

"Leave it for now, he doesn't seem like the pirate type so I doubt its anything that puts us at risk. Handle the docking Nin while I go check on him"

Orion stood with a stretch, the small cockpit feeling a little more full than usual with a hammock and some other equipment stowed into one corner. He jabbed the door control and ducked through into the back compartment and looked abut the room that was now a hybrid of a workshop, galley, cargo hold and bedroom. Finally he looked at the Vaskian and gave him a friendly nod before kicking out a chair to sit before him.

"We'll be docking shortly, I'll need to sort out the resupply and refuelling but that should all be available at the docks. After that I can either escort you to wherever you want to go first on I can be on standby if you wish to investigate independently. You're an educated fellow so I probably don't need to remind you, but Odyssey is a pretty rough place if you wander into the wrong area; I'd recommend checking with me before you go anywhere alone outside of the central hub and even then I'd stay out of the dive bars or pleasure clubs."

He explained, updating and advising the Vaskian as he privately wondered if the lead was still hot enough to get them anywhere.
