| − | Meanwhile the rest of the crew has already figured out we're sidelined yet again for a clandestine deal and they start grumbling--not so much over the illegality of the activity, but that such delays make them LATE, incurring penalties when they finally arrive at their destination and reducing their cut of the profits.

Maven, Grimes, and the others are getting torqued off and the new-hires (Nika, Rina, [[Christian Edge} Christian]], and [[Arden 689-C|Arden]]) are getting increasingly anxious about possible mutiny. The fact that all the crew had to surrender their weapons to be kept under lock and key in the gun locker is small comfort--should mutiny arise, Grimes would have instant access to the firepower, since he's the only one with the key. If the shit hits the fan, there's no telling what the man will do. Rina's of the opinion that the plan has always been to sell the passengers to slavers, kill off the new hires and sell the cargo--out in the deep of space, off the regular traffic lanes, who's to say any different?

The others dismiss her idea as paranoia. Together, Nika, Christian and Arden figure out a way to drug the regular crew to avert mutiny, allowing Nika to fly us back on course til the Captain emerges from his current drunken stupor. He will have lost out on his clandestine meet, but at least the MakeMake will arrive pretty much on schedule with passengers and cargo intact--just as Nika had been hired by Josef to do. The passengers, segregated from the crew, won't notice a thing. It was a simple plan, no one would get hurt and by the time they wake up, everything will be over without a shot fired. <br> | The others dismiss her idea as paranoia.
