K: You lost them.
B: We'll fine them.
P: I have Captain Rayner for you.
B: Put him through.
R: That cherry that they just dropped on our shit sundae left us with 20 warp signatures all charting different courses.
B: Mr. Saru?
S: Uh, unfortunately, it will likely take several days to determine which signature belonged to their vessel.
K: By which time they'll be long gone. This is the part where you tell me you have a brilliant idea.
B: I know someone who can find them.
B: Permission to come aboard, Captain?
B: The warp signature trick. Same kind we used on the Scaptar job.
B: You think they used to be couriers.
B: Federation's expanding, most of the old networks are closed. Not how I'd choose to make a living, but...
B: So that's why you asked for me, then? See if I could sniff out which is the real warp signature?
B: You have experience, expertise and insight.
B: That was a lot of very professional words, Michael.
B: I'm sorry.
B: It's okay. It has been a while.
B: Yeah. It has. I hear you're doing really good work, Book. Helping the refugees, rebuilding after the DMA.
B: I go where the Federation tells me. Today they said here. Whatever it takes to make things right.
B: After you.
R: These two are quite a pair. They're smart, slippery as hell, don't give a damn about anyone but themselves. Meet Moll and L'ak. Showed up in the sector approximately two years ago. No idea where they were before that.
