Word of mouth 'round the town, I get told the local rag gossip from my soldiers. If I tried to originate the point myself, I'd be working through the night and then long past sun up.
Well, that's the son of the plant owner... kind of a skittish fellow. He's worked long nights in the prison usually to meet demands in the past... kind of keeps to himself.
And she's the daughter of a friend of mine. We were in the same military unit a long time ago, so she's like a niece to me.
[ a pause as general ashes gently adjusts the sleeves of his coat. ]
These reports are concerning... but I don't know much about them beyond the rumors I've heard. I don't even think these were filed when I was here. Looks like it was from shortly before I returned.
[ on his jacket, charles can see some spotlessly shiny medals. so shiny shiny... so clean... ]
I can see about asking my men for some follow-up. I think a few of them remained while I returned back to the base.

... That is an official report...
But I'm almost certain [ pointing to the plant owner's son ] he left for another moon weeks ago.
... As for the girl, I believe her parents sent her off to boarding school similarly. Off planet.

Do you recall who passed on that information?

This town's full of liars.

Makes sense. How much do you know about the missing persons, besides where they theoretically went?

... If you could, that would help. We'd like to know what happened to these people and return them to their families, if they truly are missing.

You... seem like a good person. I will see what I can find myself... if you're still on planet, I'll see about sending a follow to your Corps.
