The Light is Always there

"Thanks for the offer! This tech is advanced, so I want to personally see to the cleanup." Cox carefully sweeps some broken pieces into a box, gives them a once-over, and puts the box to the side to resume cleanup.

"The crew I work with are important to me. The market mission upset me because it put many of our crew member's lives at risk carelessly." Cox's brow furrows and his voice trembles a little with anger as he looks at Gadeon, "On my ship, every crew member comes home alive or dies a hero. Anything less is mistake that I will rectify."

Cox sighs, places his hands on top of the broom, and rests his head, "Our hacker ally is a genius with computers, well funded, or probably a little of both. He is not allied with the Counselor, the Council, or the OPA. His biggest interest seems to be causing chaos, but I don't know to what end."

Cox pauses momentarily and then continues, "I think he's as much a threat as an ally to us. Even with Bay's help, I don't think we can get our security good enough to keep him out and we still don't know what he's looking for. That's why I was pushing to make a deal with him - I wanted to know what he could offer us since that might give us a better idea of who he is. He wanted Tarkin dead badly; Tarkin killed people close to him. We could try and ask Tarkin about that, but I doubt we'd get far. We'd have to get the Council to agree, Tarkin would have to be helpful, and even if he was helpful, he's probably killed too many people to know which one we are after."

"My recommendation is to use the relationship to build some trust and learn more about our ally. Unknown enemies are often the most dangerous."
