Following a sharp comment from one of the crew, Mikodez has been making himself helpful by packing up the last of Ashari's exhibition supplies, and is now perched on a neat 4m tall stack by the entryway...sound asleep. But his eyes are still open, courtesy of a temporary nictitating membrane mod done last term (escalating prank war).

[Putting this here so I don't mess with the convos elsewhere! As much as I would love to see working enthrallment, not sure how an Ashari encounter would go, other than more confusion from Mikodez's ???? about Istradez's claims. Mikodez has been expecting Sasha-murder for ages, or maybe for something to come of the other Naxorat ship? It's probably sensible to dump Shuos cadets to the Kel. Staring at a blank wall is fine. Staring at a blank wall while bothering the errant Rahal magistrate would be even more fine, but I'm sure anyone with an ounce of sense would keep them apart? It's only a matter of time before Gerae gives up his lockpicking secrets.

Also you can drag him onto the ship with the pallet, wake him at matterprinted knifepoint to head back, whichever works.]
