Rolando felt like he'd been set up. The blue people had shown up in a strike ship that couldn't possibly have just been called up. He was beginning to suspect the pirates, the suspect issue in the cockpit, and his rescuer/jailer were all aranged against him. It was his natural belief to be suspicious, but this felt a little too coincidental. Sure they hadn't imprisoned him, and in fact had given him food and a cushy accommodation aboard their ship, but something was amiss, something was wrong and he was bound to figure that out before the trap closed shut.
"This looks bad I get that, but you really are being paranoid." His not working against him captor who he formely had called Blue, was actually Agent Vtrasia (the v was silent).
"I'm just waiting till we are back in port before deciding how this actually is going down."
"That's what I wanted to talk to you about."
"I knew it, I knew this was a set up."
"Well, ok so its nearly impossible to get anyone in your government to listen, so we thought if we could get someone in the military, someone with a good record, but an outsider..."
"Are you kidding me Vtrasia? You're joking with this."
"Look my superiors will go over this better when we arrive at our station."
"I knew this was a set up, I KNEW..." Vtrasia shut the door and Rolando went back to sulking. He wanted to believe her, but he also was a Lorentino and suspecting the worse is what they did the best. And thus his voyage to a foreign land was not a pleasant one. As if the gods had intended for it themselves.
