 Viktor gathers the group together in their suits at KDV. They have decided that staying at the Highport is the best option moving forward, just in case there is any blowback from LSP. This did not make it any harder for Captain Orvelle of Military Intelligence to contact Viktor and assure him that KDV was in the clear, and this his organization was managing things. He also asked Viktor for a small favor.  Viktor gathers the group together in their suits at KDV.

 It is known that the survey team boarded the steamer, which began to cross the lake when it was fired upon and badly holed. According to reports, the rebels ceased fire when it became apparent the steamer was not a government vessel but a non-combatant, although other sources say it was pounded into scrap. It seems that the steamer made some progress down the lake before suffering rapid structural failure and sinking with great loss of life. The survey team went down with the ship. It is known that the survey team boarded the steamer, which began to cross the lake when it was fired upon and badly holed.

-If the Crew can enter the sunken wreck and bring up the survey team’s records and instruments, they will receive full payment. An additional Cr10000 is payable for the bodies of the five-strong survey team if they can be recovered and preserved in some way. The precise location of the wreck is worth Cr100000 but no other outcomes are considered a success. Sternmetal’s representative does not say but the firm wants proof that the rebels killed their team, just in case it proves useful in future negotiations.+If the Crew can enter the sunken wreck and bring up the survey team’s records and instruments, they will receive full payment.

 Sternmetal Horizons arranges for the Crew to be conveyed to Hazel aboard a scheduled passenger ship and for suitable cover stories to allay suspicions. They will have to get from the starport to the lake using their own resources, although that should not be difficult. It is quite common for tourists to rent boats to see the sights, although there are restrictions regarding destinations.  Sternmetal Horizons arranges for the Crew to be conveyed to Hazel aboard a scheduled passenger ship and for suitable cover stories to allay suspicions.

 Once clear of the starport, the Crew will receive a package drop containing any equipment they chose not to carry through starport customs. Hazel has Law Level 7, so the Crew will not be permitted to bring in guns through the starport. Diving equipment would not provoke suspicion if the Crew seem like the types who enjoy underwater exploration, or it could be dropped outside the city. The drop will be made by a free trader crew who have been paid well to kick a bunch of crates on one-use grav landing units out of their airlock and then depart the system. No backup will be available after this point. Once clear of the starport, the Crew will receive a package drop containing any equipment they chose not to carry through starport customs.
