Shai: He perked up a bit more when I spoke with him. If he behaves, Oilslick may release him, and yeh, from the cells before we arrive. If he does, Darnell's interested in helpin' meh find evidence teh use against Oilslick, so he'll neh be able teh take others from their homes again.

Connor: ....you can do that? How can I help?

Shai: *smiles* It's why I'm here. Oilslick wants the financial backing of my friend, but my friend is sickened by what Oilslick does, but the bastard has been careful to forge records of where he gets his "exotic" slaves. So I'm here teh find evidence of those forgeries. *whispering* Behave yehrself while in the cells. If Oilslick will let yeh out, then yeh can help.

Connor: Understood. So...you're undercover as a slave, you don't actually belong to your friend?

Shai: Technically, I do, for my own protection. As I mentioned before, I have neh home teh return teh, and teh make sure nehone else will try teh claim meh for any reason, my friend owns me, but teh him I'm an equal. *like Darnell with Connor...*

Connor: *nods* I understand. *completely...*

Shai: I'm glad yeh do. Many don't.

Laserburn: *returns with Connor's backpack, pausing when he sees Shai.* You're lucky, mech, Master wants you alive when we reach Cybertron so long as you don't cause trouble.

Connor: It's what Darnell does for me back home. *looks at Laser and nods - again, not promising anything, since he doesn't know what he'll need to do to help Shai get the evidence she needs*

Laser: *will fill the canister, then take a bit more Thirium from Connor before removing he straps* C'mon. I'll take you back to your friend.
