At the Defence Ministry

I will try to get the ball rolling again...

Drake explains to Hagen:

When we were attacked and crashed out in the wilderness we met up with a group of Droyne who were very helpful towards us. While we are still here I will be helping them solve this riddle. Otherwise, we will get on with more preparations for departure. Now, were we not talking about going out tonight?

Drake will arrange to meet with the Droyne tomorrow. He has some ideas but would prefer to discuss them in private. And perhaps another visit to Mom and Dad might be useful...

Keeping the ball rolling...

Hagan

I understand. You need to do what you need to do. We have to stand by those who have have stood by us. We still have a fair bit of work to do on the Dog-Tag to get her space-worthy. Tonight though, I think we can relax and get to know each other better.

The two parties break up, to meet later at the venue suggested by Emmylou.

The Droyne agrees that Tomorrow is fine, and suggests that you (John) may wish to travel out to their settlement to view the scene of the crime. (As it were).
