Confrontation at Administrator Nirai Paerani Shan's Office
Sulen and Virmad are facing off against Administrator Shan, having dumped a (friendly!) baby mothling (Crowned-With-Eyes) and faked evidence of Remi's "heresy" onto her desk, as per this thread from Move 19.

Shan makes a brief show of checking the faked datacube for the evidence, but she's clearly feeling pressured with two Rahal standing right there and it doesn't appear she finds anything out of order in the "evidence." "All right," Shan says. She pulls up an appropriate form on one of her data slates and signs over Remi and the mothlings to Sulen and Virmad's custody, then outputs it to a data cube and hands it to them. "Do you require assistance locating Nirai Remi? Or would you prefer to handle that yourselves?" Her expression is resigned.


On the "Bumblebee"

- Mikodez is in Sasha's bedroom, following this thread from Move 19. He is currently alone, trapped, and recuperating, apparently having dozed off.

- Sasha and Iawa have made preparations to talk to Mikodez (see above) as per this thread from Move 19. They have agreed to meet outside Sasha's bedroom and confront Mikodez together.

- Alaric is still currently closeted with Gerae (and Fluffy), continuing this thread from Move 19. Gerae looks abashed at Alaric's critique of heptarchate social control methods and says, "You're obviously very knowledgeable about us and our methods. Are you a scholar? I hadn't realized your team did research." (He's clearly fishing for more information about the Merry Crew he has fallen in with.) Meanwhile, Fluffy curls up on his forearm and appears to doze.

NPCs:
- Ashari is in their office.

- Kaliyan is still manning the cockpit in preparation for escape.

- Yehan graciously thanks Sasha for the box of Remy's journals and begins scanning them into the grid for further analysis; this is a process that can largely be automated so she has set the grid up to alert her if anything looks like it requires her immediate attention, and goes to get some more tea.

- Ankat is keeping an eye on Istradez, who is still woozy and concussed, as per this thread from Move 19. He is available if anyone needs an extra pair of hands.

"I think we can definitely give her plenty of entertaining sounds, along with more room to play and some companionship. She was playing with a mothling when I took custody of her from one of my more dubious shipmates - its a very long story and makes no sense, so probably best not to waste time explaining - and they seemed to be getting along quite well for creatures from entirely different biospheres."

That reminded Alaric he should probably check on the other guest. The one that they were supposed to be liberating, not the one they were apparently kidnapping-slash-rescuing because he was cute or stumbled across their secret plan or something.

[Possibly an opening to either segue into the 'On the Moth' thread, or bring Virmad here?]

"Tell you what," Alaric says, "I'll track down someone who can actually tell you when you'll be getting out of here. Be back in a minute." He's smart enough not to turn his back on the prisoner as he leaves. He does get halfway out the door before reaching back in the snag the cage, though. He takes a detour to the matter printer to queue up some part for an larger, and less lockpick-filled, cage, then goes to find Virmad.
