===Information from the Verbena Syndicate Database===
 +
*A Dr. Charity Coppelia has been identified as providing underground medical services in Gaspar City. She's also listed as one of the individuals trafficked by Verbena.
 +
*There are records of Verbena Syndicate-employed ships visiting the spaceport here in Gaspar City. Two ships in particular made regular port calls: the Trenholm and the Wild Rover, both transport ships.
 +
*The database indicates that a Cu Hsiu, a local magistrate, has received regular payments from the Syndicate. Exactly why isn't quite clear, but it's probably related to keeping the port police out of the Syndicate's hair.
 +
*The Verbena Syndicate owns a storage locker here at the port: N-373. It's a 3m by 5m unit. Its contents aren't listed.

'''Episode 14''': ''Heads Up''<br>
 
The crew traveled to Brunson Station to help Wiley and Philippe retrieve a server full of information related to the Verbena Syndicate's people-trafficking operation, which should allow the pair to track down Wiley's cousins.  Wetteland showed up, and is now convinced that the crew owes him one.  Chen showed up, as well.  The crew also received a gift from Shih - a small box with a human hand inside, still clad in a bright blue neoprene glove.  Kennith and Trân joined the crew.

'''Episode 15''': ''Where the Game is, there will the Vermin be''<br>
 
The crew discovered that many of the Verbena Syndicate's human trafficking victims were being routed through Ilat to a pirate repair ship, the ''Libertatia.''  The crew infiltrated and disabled the ship, called in the Navy, and headed out.  Jane leaves the crew and Charity joins the crew. 
 
 
'''Episode 16''': ''Adrift''<br>
 
The crew encounters the disabled Ross Transport ship 'Kairali' and solves the mystery of who sabotaged it: it's first mate Calliope Drakewell.  They also meet a suspicious traveler named Redfern, who refused to involve the authorities despite a violent confrontation with Trân.  Laz leaves the crew.
 
 
'''Episode 17''': ''Coreporate''<br>
 
It must have been sweeps week.  The crew transports Kraig to the Core to stop a Blue Sun research program that would give the corporation even more power over the Rim.  The crew also gets caught up in some sort of biomedical research/organ transportation with Caduceus Ltd.  They fight with corporate security and the blue hands.  Jenny gets publicly labeled as a terrorist.  Mattie fires the crew, and the crew proceeds to steal the ''Righteous.''  Kiko sort of joins the crew and then leaves it.  Bella leaves the crew.
 
 
'''Episode 18''': ''Against the Middle''<br>
 
The crew gets caught up in the violent political machinations in a small town in a way that is in no way just a rip off of Yojimbo/Red Harvest/A Fistful of Dollars/Last Man Standing.
