Rover goes after Aalto, heading for the port below the TD Observatory

KU-Money: “Well, you haven’t been assigned any field missions lately, so no funding for you. There’s the person you’re waiting for. I’ll leave you to it then. Now, ex-KU-se me…”

KU-Money: “Ku! The market's down. Should I buy in, or sell out?”

Rover: “You seems like an expert.”

KU-Money: “Of course, I am. Every Shell Credit I use is maximized for the entire Black Shores! Several Rinascita companies were acquired in after-hours trading by the New Federation. Now they're begging me to play the white knight.”

Rover: “So, you're manipulating the market!”

KU-Money: “Nonsense! I'm making money for the Black Shores, all within the law. I haven't done anything that goes against our principles! Listen, money is power in this world. It's what lets you do anything you want-even save the world.”

Aalto: “Come on! Your Gondola is ready!”

Rover finds a note next to Aalto: Bloom Bearer Field Report

Aalto: “There you are! I've got your ship readied! You'll have to sail to Rinascita, but the Threnodian ruckuses everywhere have left you with only the dinghies. Don't worry, behold my private stash. Remarkably fit for keeping a low profile, if I may say so myself.”

Rover: “It must have hidden depths.”

Aalto: “Well, aren't you eagle-eyed! This is cutting-edge gear from the New Fed World Expo. Nearly lost my shirt haggling for it. Planning to stock up for the Black Shores. Word is, Ragunnesi treat the Sentinel like a god-churches and all. Real holy rollers. When in Ragunna, do as the Ragunnesi do, ok? Now, let me work my magic on the autopilot. Before you know it, you'll be cruising into Ragunna. Just give me a holler when you're ready to go.”

Rover: I'm ready.”

Aalto: “Then off we go. Our destination is—”

Rover: “Ragunna!”

Aalto: “Hold onto your britches! We’re about to go from zero to light speed!”
