The tattoo lady is pale skinned, slender and tall; you cannot place the cultural origin. She's noticably different from the others, a variety of women of varied age, young to old, all in dark black shawls; They look like standard humans as far as you can see them, as does Adelmo aside from the fair.
"He is a thief by the name of Briande. I wish him brought to me- or if that is not possible, everything he carries instead."

"What I want from Briande is... personal. But as to where he is, there I can be of help. My information is that he recently took a transport to the outlying world of Gondekorro."

Xavier speaking in his normal monotone voice, "So then we get this person for you, and our pirate troubles go away. I must ask though if you are so powerful then why do you need us?"
"Gondekorro is distant and I have many demands upon my time- as opposed to the pirates who are nearby and I am well positioned to deal with. I could eventually get around to sending someone to Gondekorro but my worry is that Briande will have moved on by the time she got there and I would have to find him all over again.
"Nor is it a situation that can be handled casually. Briande is a resourceful man who will expect people to come after him; he will have taken steps to protect himself. My skilled resources have other committments at this point."

Logical yes but worrisome still. She seems to know who we are but who are they hmmm.
"Yes very worrisome indeed," Xavier says calmly almost to himself.
"You seem to be claiming to have a lot of resources at your disposal. You must have some because I thought no one else but us knew about this base. How did you find us, and besides the name who are you exactly?"
"That is what you want us to do for you? Fetch and carry? Seems a waste of our talents..." Rianna says. "And yes, I am very curious as to how you found us."
"I knew you existed," says Adelmo," because I know the Bureau Agent Helkin was killed trying to get his targets, and hence, logically, those targets escaped. As to where you have been hiding- well, you have the pirates to thank for that. They found you by sheer fortune- they stumbled across this place by mistake. I have many sources of information and via them I heard of this place and it was not hard to deduce what was here. And other than being your potential employer, who I am is unimportant."
Important to note that I would normally say no to this, Con, but only your specific speicality here overrides that!
Gondekorro... frontier world in a part of the Republic where civilisation barely exists, part of a colonisation expansion from thousands of years ago that, effectively, petered out, leaving the outlying worlds to wither.
But you are sure Gondekorro had a llittle more to it than that in recent history- yes, there some sort of gold rush there in recent times. All kinds went there trying to make their fortune. You assume it didn't work out as no-one has heard of the place these days.
It's only nominally Republican. It won't have anything like a Senator, there's probably not much habitation on it at all. Which means frontier law, frontier ways, primitive facilities. A harsh place.
But inside the Bureau's network.

"No," she says, "but the Bureau only has its ships on significant worlds, and Gondekorro is far from any. If you are fast enough there, you can be back out of Republican space before they arrive."
