Shift Foreman NijeThe shift foreman's thick fingers drum thoughtfully on his tool belt. "If these guys are smart, they'll spot the enforcers near the cache and stay out of sight. And Your Lordship/Ladyship would be spotted even quicker."

InfernusIt is strange that the senior officer is conducting the inspection alone. According to the regulations, there should be an entire squad of inferni, and the personal presence of the Infernus Master is necessary only in emergencies.
YOU"Infernus Master, what exactly are you doing here?"
Infernus"I'm carrying out a routine drive inspection. The regulations require scheduled checks to make sure the insulation isn't weakened, the sensors haven't been tampered with, and the reactor isn't about to blow anytime soon. Just business as usual."
YOU"Einrich. Why are you really here?"
Infernus"Found me out, have you?" Einrich gives you a wink and pulls on his lho-stick. "I'm not really here about the reactor. I heard a rumour that you'd gone to investigate the plasma drive chambers, so I thought I'd... make sure everything went smoothly. Your Lordship/Ladyship is accustomed to associating with people of your rank, or officers at the very least, but here... This place is home to voidfarers of simpler manners, whose clan customs may be unfamiliar to you."
Shift Foreman NijeThe "voidfarer of simpler manners" furrows his brows. "Our customs are decent ones, Master Monteg! I'd rather boil myself in plasma than let anything happen to the Lord Captain!"
Infernus"No offence, Nije, but if you can find even three people in this bay who can give a report without turning the air blue, I'll gladly admit I was wrong." Einrich grins at the now silent Nije. "You're a good bunch, I'd hate to see you insult His Lordship/Her Ladyship with some foolishness and not even realise it."
YOU"Thank you, Einrich."
Infernus"I'm just keeping an eye out, Your Lordship/Ladyship. Feel free to ask old Nije any questions you may have — he knows the plasma drive chambers like the back of his hand."
Shift Foreman Nije"That's right, Your Lordship/Ladyship. If something isn't to your liking or if you find anything suspicious, come to me at once!"
YOU"Infernus Master, what exactly are you doing here?"continues where this line first appears above
YOU"Einrich. Why are you really here?"continues where this line first appears above
YOU[Gesture at the bruises on his face] "Einrich, who did this to you?"
InfernusEinrich rubs his grazed knuckles. "A little gift to remember the enforcers by. We've had a small disagreement. They thought they had the right to beat and starve innocent people while investigating the incident in Your Lordship/Ladyship's bathchamber. I thought their noses were too straight and they had too many teeth. So, we politely exchanged opinions."
Infernus"An enforcer's baton is pretty sturdy, but not as thick as the skull of a hard-boiled infernus. I have to give it to Jocasta, her officers earn their rations. They clobber you good."

YOU"Nije, have you ever seen a symbol that looks like a serpent in front of a star?"
Shift Foreman Nije"Somebody keeps daubing it on the equipment and bulkheads. If I find the scoundrels, I'll tear their hands off and send them for servitorisation." The shift foreman frowns. "Is it some kind of sedition? I didn't know. If you see one of these, let me know, we'll try to find these artists."

YOU"There was an old cache hidden under one of the serpent symbols."
InfernusEinrich chuckles. "I think you've found someone's secret stash. What was it? A mouldy nutribar, lho, a few thrones? Workers often hide their belongings or banned items from the enforcers or covetous neighbours. Maybe someone marked their cache with the symbol to make it easier to find later?"

Shift Foreman Nije"What is that?" Nije's thick eyebrows knit together angrily, and you almost think you see a power charge jolt across them. "We've got smugglers on the loose! Who else would be hiding these strange messages? I'll have them all drawn and quartered on the turbine, I will! Now I'd like to find out what they're smuggling..."

A homemade weapon, and assembled right in this compartment — the markings are the same as those on local machine parts. This is a very serious matter — it seems someone is plotting a riot and secretly building their own arsenal from scavenged materials right under our noses!"

Shift Foreman Nije"Working with plasma is dangerous, but we have a good crew, and not too many incidents. The esteemed Tech-Priests are satisfied with us, the machine spirits are all working as they should. The inferni don't complain about us either — we fix cracks in the reactor vessel on time, and we fix leaks."

I've raised no family and made no fortune, but I've climbed my way up the ranks. I don't know anything but my trade and this compartment... I am my trade and this compartment, Lord Captain."

Infernus"Mind if I take a look?" Einrich takes the note, careful not to let any ash fall on it. "'Need more'... More what? Whoever wrote it, they didn't want anyone who wasn't in the know to understand. Using caches to exchange messages is a good way to keep things hidden from the enforcers. It's how some workers procure intoxicants and other items they're not supposed to have. There has to be another cache somewhere nearby. You never use the same one for both the transfer and the correspondence — too risky." He gives you a look and shrugs. "What? I've never engaged in such business, I swear. I've just... heard how it's done."

InfernusThe light from the Infernus Master's lho-stick reveals his surprised but amiable expression. Einrich's lip is split and a fresh bruise is blossoming on his cheekbone. "Lord Captain? Didn't expect to see you in this compartment. Are you out on a stroll, taking in the sights of your domain? The blue glow of plasma is especially striking at this time of the watch."

Shift Foreman Nije"You're the most mawkish infernus I've ever met, Master Monteg." A burly man in coveralls furrows his bushy eyebrows. His sparse hair stands on end. "Your Lordship/Ladyship, welcome. I'm Shift Foreman Nije, in charge of this section. If you need anything, I'm here to help."
