==Bridge Team==
Svenson was able to find a cargo manifest, but nothing relating to the Dominion or any other sensitive files. The manifest listed a number of items like food, medical supplies, and alcohol, but there were also signs that it was a forgery. It listed everything as coming from Achenar IV and heading towards Pentax III, neither of which were anywhere close to their current position, and it showed a crew of 17, all Dopterians.
Omdor had a little more luck, however. While there was no flight plan, the IFF console contained a usage log which showed that it had been used less than two hours ago. Given the age of the freighter and the difficulties of travelling in the nebula, the location had to be inside the nebula somewhere. Also, the system showed that their last update had been during the war itself. Whoever was using it, it seemed likely that the system it was designed to act as a key to was of a similar vintage.
==Cargo Bay==
As the crew searched, they paired off into teams: one scanned for dead spots while the other manned the crowbars. By the time the Captain and Ramius arrived, they had opened well over a dozen crates, fanning out from the hidden door, and had found a lot of things. Most of them were varied quantities and qualities of alcohol, although there were several caches of narcotics, along with a single crate of manacles, branding irons, and particle whips. No new people were turning up, and there were only a half-dozen or so more places blank to scanners.
