Seated in a comfortable, high backed chair, reclined with his left ankle perched atop his right knee, Syravari pondered all the numbers now coursing across his small datapad screen. Credits made from the last few strikes, the pirate and slaver was finally starting to see the level of profit that he had expected some years back. Being on the spacelanes instead of one town on a backwater was like night and day when it came to the money that could be made. Taking a sip of his Corellian Whiskey, the older ship captain set the glass back on the table before him as other crewmembers and private businessmen went about their dealings around him.
A buzz from his comlink grabbed the well dressed gambler's attention, reaching into his jacket pocket and removed the slender, white device and glanced to the frequency. A furrowed brow denoted his surprise as he then accessed the message:
"It's Nallia...
I don't know if they found you yet. And I don't know if they ever will. But if this message ever finds you, I forgive them.
I was left at the Station because they said the help they would need to find you wouldn't put up with a new member of a ship where the Captain was missing. Without you to vouch for me, my life was in danger.
True or not, I forgive them.
I hope you read this someday. I worry for you. I keep my ears and eyes peeled for information on where you went and how to get to you. Perhaps, someday, I can rescue you as you did me.
If you ever want to find me, send a message to the station cantina. I work there now and sleep in the back when they aren't busy.
I hope you are well...
I never prayed before now... I can only hope it works.
Sincerely
Nallia
Grinning at the greeting from someone that he had nearly lost track of over the past three months, Syravari finished off his drink, turned off his datapad and pushed himself up from the chair. Knowing he had to find her and bring her back into the fold, the ship's master chef and up and coming executive officer would be welcomed back to the crew as most of them had been asking about her since they left the Core. Leaving the cafe', Syravari casually headed for the cantina knowing how rough this station's lower levels could be.
