217-1105, AL's Anola Abduction

Mertactor/District 268 [1537 Spinward Marches] - With Alec gone - taking Dai, "Mad Gav", and Jonathan, as his hand-picked team for a mission - Jake Ryons, Commodore Meg Walton, and Sayeed Qutb consider recruiting some new crew for the Black Star. At the starport bar The Yellow Hiver, AL, on the run from rival criminal warlord Nee Yon Fu, decides to move to the Homeward Bound bar. Fortuitously he is approached by Kourash Arani to undertake a job that suits his talents - breaking some impounded Pysadian Anola creatures out of starport quarantine and delivering them to her collector Patron, one Viscount David Pino. Despite the Anola's attempting some low level bonding psionics on him, AL is able to complete the task with no trouble and deliver to the Free Trader Galient which happens to be parked next to the Black Star. One of Alec's security programs pings at the unexpected activity and Jake and Sayeed recognise their old contact AL and make him an offer he can't refuse.
