The Commissioner shook his head. "If they had, we'd be doing something about it. The Federation Council is very nervous!"
"Well...." Trigger said. She pursed her lips. "That Lyad...." she said.
"What about her?"
"She tried to hire me," said Trigger. "Major Quillan reported it, I suppose?"
"Sure."
"And it wouldn't be just to steal some stupid plasmoid. Especially since you say a number of small ones are already available. Then there're the ones that raiders picked up in the Hub. She probably has a collection by now."
He nodded. "Probably."
"She seems to know quite a bit about what's been going on...."
"Very likely she does."
"Let's grab her!" said Trigger. "We can do it quietly. And she's too big to be mind-blocked. We'd get part of the answer. Perhaps all of it!"
