I rendezvoused with Lady Kasmeer and Navan in Shing Jea, where we briefly discussed Mai Trin's trustworthiness. Kasmeer was still wary of her, but felt she was our best chance of catching Ankka. The Ministry of Transit was a bureaucratic nightmare to which I wouldn't subject even my worst enemy. While waiting for my travel papers to clear, I opted to kill time by helping out around the island. Rama, grateful for the assistance, pulled some strings and got my paperwork expedited. With everything in order, I was ready to set sail. Navan had some last-minute business to tend to in New Kaineng, so I swung by and picked her up before heading out.
