Storvik blinked, then replied, "Hmm, an excellent tactic to throw us off the scent. Are any of the ships reachable? I may need to speak with the Khans that are on board to determine what they know."
Heavens replied, "I guessed that you might want that, sir, and hailing frequencies are open to three of the ships. The fourth ship is on a course through a field of subspace interference that limits communications, and I have not been able to establish an open comlink channel with them."

Guys can you keep it down? I'm trying to be hung over here.
~Reaches over, grabs the pot of raktajino, and pours himself a cup. Walks over to the replicator.~
Computer. Irish cream. Shot.
