“It certainly doesn’t belong to ya either, Rick. The contents of this box can make Adiart a better place. It should never fall into the wrong hands.”

The squabbles between the ship dwellers and chasers intensifies. Looks like one of the chaser is even a noble. It looks like something big is going around. And when something big goes around, there’s money for the leeches.

It is very unusual for low water thugs to be interested in politic, seeing that the ability to read is already a marvel to them. Andar, too, wouldn’t have any interest in politic if not for the fact that his mother force him to learn it.
He could not hear everything, but he, curious, slowly shortens the distance between him and the group.

“He would have no need to feel threatened had he not stolen it. I’m sure you wouldn’t tolerate thievery either now, would you? Or perhaps you forgot the treaty already?”
