* **[**14**]** You find an address among the dead settler’s belongings: a small house, not far from the station. An old woman answers the door, a young child at her elbow. She nods stiffly as she sees you. She accepts his crated corpse. You are not invited in.
* **[**15**]** The return to Port Prosper doesn’t seem to surprise your wanted passenger. The Ministry’s men are waiting at the station. She holds out her slim wrists to be manacled when you dock. She goes quietly, but she does not break eye contact with you until she is forcibly pulled away.

* **[**1**]** She smiles benignly as one of your crew carries her steamer trunk on board. \n\n\"And if you'd be so kind, could we do some hunting on the way? The Chorister Bees have been attacking again. I'll pay you for the trouble of killing them, of course; but only if you do it quickly, and only if you harvest a stinger for me.\"
* **[**2**]** His handshake is firm to the point of rudeness. \n\nHe leans in close. \"My time is precious, you understand. I'd appreciate it if you got me there as quick as you can. You shan't go unrewarded for the effort.\"
* **[**3**]** You wipe your hand on your trousers after shaking his disquietingly sweaty hand. \n\n\"This is it, isn't it? Leaving the safety of Port Prosper. Really going out into the world. Ah. Ahah. Here we go then, eh?\"
* **[**4**]** He breaks off the handshake to cough into his sleeve. \n\n\"Forgive me. I'm hoping a new climate will improve my health. Please get me there as fast as possible. I will pay you well if you do.\"
* **[**5**]** She rushes onto your vessel as soon as you've finished shaking hands. \n\n\"Excellent. I'll stay out of your way then. You'll hardly even notice me. Any luck and you'll forget I'm even here.\"

#### UnderTimeEnd

* **[**0**]** UnderTimeEnd
* **[**2**]** The settler claps you hard on the back, like an old schoolmate you'd rather forget. \"Good show! I should say we got here in record time. Record time! Let's hope they're as eager here as you've been. Here's your reward.\"
* **[**3**]** The settler pauses beside you before disembarking. He goes to speak, but thinks better of it. He pays you and is off.
* **[**4**]** The settler apologises for not shaking your hand. You understand; you're well aware that his condition hasn't improved, what with the nightly retching and the coughing incident in the mess the other day. He smiles weakly and departs."
* **[**5**]** The settler is not in her bunk, nor are her belongings. But she has left an envelope full of Sovereigns on her pillow and a note of thanks. One of your crew later reports finding her picture in a Prosper newspaper; there is a bounty on her head. \n

* **[**2**]** No one will look the settler in the eye. His scowl could shatter glass. \"We are late,\" he says. \"I can only hope the people of this good settlement are less prone to tardiness than you. Here are your wages. I bid you good day.\"
* **[**3**]** The settler has to be ushered off your vessel by your crew. He won't shake your hand for fear of revealing the circles of perspiration under his arms. He pays you your fare and is off.
