"I have measures that can allow one to go through this ship unseen, to allow one to even do things with the illusion that they're another person. There are such ways you could use this to your own ends--perhaps to frame your dear, dear brother and make his life miserable? I can also control certain aspects of the ship, certain exchanges of information through her systems. In the end, I plan to use my...gifts to kidnap a large contingent of the crew for my own purposes and take them away on a ship."

In return for your assistance in the final stages of my plan, in which I need someone powerful to help me keep all of my captives properly restrained, I am willing to give the bald boy and his friends to you to do whatever you wish with them. I have no need of them myself. In return for your assistance, with my new position as a security officer, I can seek your release, pretending to be a moral guardian of sorts, all while we both work towards our collective goals."
