"Well, I've seen you race, before, and to be frank... You're an amazing pilot, I'd say one of the best living. I'd approach Eric, but he's nowhere to be found, and you're just as good with small craft. I have several drone control fighters that I need piloted. I need you to fly them, and my carrier itself. There'll be pay in it, both by me and Soltari, and possibility for a long-term gig, if that's what you're into."

Lori froze. Sh*t. F*cking sh*t, she thought. Who would've thought that a planet as backwater as this would have someone who'd seen her race? The whole point was to make them think she was dead...
She sipped her drink again, even more slowly, and lowered her voice so only he would hear her. "Not sure who you think you've seen racing. I'm a smuggle-pilot, not that I go advertising that so much. Not a jockey."

He knows about it, said that you were the best there was, and showed me some playback of you working. Don't tweak, your secret's safe with me.

She bolted the rest of her drink. "Xeen's a f*cker, too. B*tch wants me to fly, why the hell doesn't he just come find me?!" This last bit was shouted loud enough for the whole bar to hear.

He took her arm, remaining calm, his voice low.
"Lori, there's some things here he doesn't quite understand, and wants to try his best to keep the Matron and himself out of it. It's easier if it looks like it's a few isolated guys doing this to keep the Kore from ******** this planet just like they did Osis. You're Lori Raine, sorry to have confused you. Now, calm down, and come with me. We got some talking we have to do, Miss Raine."

She didn't sober up until they were inside a building again, at which point it became very clear that the small woman could hold her liquor better than she'd pretended.((And once again, I'm so used to typing in dark blue that I forgot the green...))

Sean smiled as she sobered up.
"Soltari is a very strange man. Not someone I'll ever trust, but... Well, he's paying good, and is willing to de everything he can to get rid of the Kore."

My crew only knows that I'm hiring a hot-shot pilot." He said, crossing his arms, "He told me you were the best I could get, and I wouldn't be dissapointed, said that you had taken good care of him in the past."

"Fair warn right now," she added, shooting him a look. "This goes down, I'm either deader or disappeared and as good as, again, with not you, not your crew, not Xeen looking for me. I haven't seen him in a bit, so you can tell 'im that yourself."

Hattie looked up and over at the two talking at the mention of Eric's name. Her pleasant demeanor was gone and she watched them carefully over her glass. Sigil put his long hand on her shoulder and squeezed. When she looked up, he handed her a comm. She read as message on the screen and nodded. When she finished, she watched the two again.
"What do they want with my husband?" She sipped her soda.

Durendal paused when he heard Hattie's voice, and wheeled quickly, a small smile on his lips.
"You guys got away safely!"

Hattie nodded with a smirk. "'Course we did! Who the hell do you think we are?" She laughed, finishing her drink and slamming it down on the bar for a refill. "We got nine lives, ya know?"

Sean pinched his nose.
"I was the one who requested footage. I didn't believe him. And that was all he called you by. I didn't know you had another name."
"And if you have an issue with Soltari, you go and tell him that yourself. I don't like him, I don't like being in the same room as him, don't like talking to him."
***
Durendal sighed.
"No word from Eric or Jarred?"
