Here, Bait.

[Kage's stretched out on a lush chair, his booted feet up on some priceless mahogany table, a leftover candycane he found in his room stuck out of the corner of his mouth.

Around the table are some sushi bears, and everyone assembled has a hand of cards in their grips. One of the sushi bears slaps down a three of diamonds and the other bears groan and start shoving chips around. Kage leans forward, then looks at the bear.]

You clever bastard. Deal me out this hand. I gotta take care'a this one.

[The bear yowls and Kage tosses his cards down on the table and rises to his feet. The sushi-bears begin to deal the cards out again, immersed in their game.

Kage sucks on the candycane as he ambles over and picks up a spare comm. He flicks it on, ignoring Mihaila and calls up a certain list.]

Bait. You know why you're here?

[wildeyesblind]

[Yes.]

N-no, sir.

[Her eyes flicker nervously to the bears, then back to Kage. This is all completely different, she has no idea what to expect.]

[shenghuanzhe]

[Kage just grunts. He wants to get back to the card game, and this shouldn't take too long at all. He turns the comm around and extends it for her to take.]

What's missing from this crew manifest?

[wildeyesblind]

[Some of the tension bleeds out of her shoulders, and she sighs. So it wasn't what she thought.

She takes the manifest and idly scrolls through it.

... wait a minute. She frowns and scrolls back through. Her eyes widen and she reads it again.]
