If things had been a lot quieter over the past couple of days on board Serenity, it wa slikely because the ship's (debatably) most rambunctious officer had been noticeably silent. He had in fact been holed up in a corner of the mess area, typing furiously on a journal terminal. This was not, in itself, particularly noteworthy, but what was worth noting is that he had barely moved at all for days on end.
The Captain needed information. Needed to know who Low Key's friends were, and what else they had been up to. And Hiruma intended to get him that information, no matter how many journals he had to hack through, or how little information he had to go on.
He had been working round-the-clock for the past two days, pausing only occasionally to answer nature's two main calls: to grab food and drink, and...the other one. The third call, that of sleep, he was studiously ignoring, and he had the bags under his eyes to prove it. He was absolutely exhausted, but he refused to lay his head down. He was onto something. He was sure of it.
