As the ship docked in the landing bay, Sev prepared the merchandise. He his merchantise was comprised of a shipment of different Spices that he had gathered on his voyage. While Sev was loading the merchandise, one of his crew newest recruits came into the bridge.

"Captain, what are your orders?" His newest recruit asked. The recruit walked into the deck and saluted.

"Well, for one,we sell this Spice. Next we refuel the Lusitania. Only then, Pex, we go home. " Sev said. Pex saluted again and walked out to tell the rest of the crew.

As they were stepping off the ship, Pex saw 6 guards walking towards them. They were dressed in all green. The outline of their robes were black. The guards carried laser blasters which they were now pointing at the crew.

"Are you the crew of the Lusitania? We have been tipped off that you have been illegally smuggling Spices and selling it to the Pirates," The Captain of the Guard said to the crew.

"We put hard work into these. These are all legal. Your informant was trying to do us in for a crime we didnt commit, " Pex said as he took a step towards the guards."Stay where you are. We will shoot you, pirate scum. Tell us where the smuggled goods are before we seize control of your ship and tear it apart looking for them," The Captain of the Guard said with a sneer as he pointed his blaster at Pex. The Captain of The Guard then started to walk slowly towards the ship.

"As my crew keeps telling you, there is no smuggled goods. Who is your informant? They and I need to have a talk about why they wrongly accused us," Sev said to the guards. He looked tried to look at the guards' faces but they were covered by hoods for the most part. The Captain of the Guard laughed.

"Thats classified information. Step away from your ship so we can search. If you really wanna know who then go ask the Harbor Master. He will tell you. Im tired of the games now, so if you will excuse us, we will do our jobs now." The Captain of the Guard said a little impatiently. Sev thanked him and whispered to the crew to buy some time. Sev then walked across the bay to the Harbor Master's office. He knocked on the office door and walked in.

The Harbor Master was sitting in an armchair studying him as he entered. Sev came to the desk and sat down in the chair in front of the desk.

"Sorry to bother you, Harbor Master, but it seems someone has accused us of smuggling goods. I want to know who has made this claim against the Lusitania." Sev said calmly. The Harbor Master studied him again and then thought about it.

"Spersky Kar. He is in the cantina as we speak. If my memory serves me right, then he is getting drunk in a corner of the cantina with an old friend of his. If you have any further questions, then go ask Spersky. Tell the Guards to stop what they are doing and come to my office. I need to have a word with them." the Harbor Master said. The Harbor Master then gestured for Sev to leave. He walked out the door and walked back to his ship.

The guards were pushing the crew out of of their way as they walked toward the ship. Sev walked over to his crew.

"The Harbor Master needs all the guards to come to his office." Sev said loudly so the guards could hear him. They turned and shot him an annoyed look and marched off to the Harbor Master's office.
