[ Steve gets a pretty good look at the symbol, which is — ]

I saw the same one on the coat of the guy they took away. If there's a connection, they're gonna keep it quiet. [ They being Link'd Inc and their lackeys, obviously, and Steve crosses his arms, thinking it over. Heading back planet-side would be easy, but there's the question of where and who. ] Think anyone down there would be willing to talk?

[ Honestly, it's a long shot. ]

[ He lowers the piece back down, setting it aside before he looks back to Steve and shrugs. ]

We could give it a try, but I wouldn't hold my breath. I asked around right after the explosion, but the natives didn't seem very chatty. [ They either pretended like they didn't know what he was asking about, or they turned around and left as if he hadn't even addressed them to begin with. ] Like you said, I'm pretty sure they'll keep it quiet - and that's not just their government, the natives themselves too. Honestly, I'm surprised I managed to scoop up a piece of the ship without anyone stopping me.

[ But then he was kind of sneaky when he did it, so maybe no one noticed to begin with. ]

I got the same thing in St. Murtel. [ Which hadn't been particularly reassuring as to what might have been happening, but Steve's smart enough to know when he should move on or stick around. ] I followed them as far as I could, but. [ He shakes his head as if to say no good. Steve was pretty fast on foot, but not nearly enough to keep up with whatever vehicle they'd shoved the guy into.

He's quiet for a second or two, rubbing at his jaw. ] Someone's always willing to talk though. It's just a matter of where to start looking first.

It's probably for the best that you lost them. At least until we know how deep this goes, who these Komai are, and what kind of force Link'd has behind the name. [ And he does mean literal physical force - troops, authorities, whatever they call it. At this point Bruce is pretty sure they're more than just a matchmaking organization, and Steve succeeding in catching up to them might have ended in either making things hostile between them and the natives, or with Steve thrown into jail too. Possibly both. ]

But I agree, we can still look around and see what pops up. We should be fine enough if we keep to ourselves, and if there's any problem, we can just get back to the ship. [ Even though Bruce really shouldn't be involving himself in these plans, after what happened in Caducus Primary, but anyway. ] We could split up by city? Cover more ground, and we won't call as much attention to ourselves. Where were you thinking of going?
