Shore Leave: The Warehouse

After finishing up their conversation, Cass and Alex reemerge from the basement and join their captors again on the ground floor. Endra is sorting through a stack of playing cards and looks up at them as they enter but doesn't say anything.
Hector is back at the end of the room with the woman with the broken jaw. When he sees them, he stands up and takes a step towards them. "Did you have a constructive discussion?"

"Of course. According to our estimations, he should arrive on the planet shortly. He should be making contact with us within the next couple of hours. Until then, we just have to wait." He points towards the table. "Do you want to play poker? We can invite the cadets as well. Or are you hungry? We don't have many rations but enough to share."

"It's almost noon. No wonder you are hungry", Hector responds. Together with the others, he quickly cleans up the table and puts down some military rations. Cass and Alex both know this kind of ration. They're not tasty but filling and transportable. "That's all we have unfortunately", Hector informs you. He looks at Endra. "Can you check on the cadets? They can have some as well if they're hungry."
Endra doesn't seem thrilled but doesn't protest. She walks towards the stairs.
Hector sits down at the table. "Again, I'm really sorry for getting you mixed up in this. Take it as a compliment, though. If your crew wasn't as competent as they are, we wouldnt have had to improvise like this."

Very quickly after leaving, Endra comes back down the stairs, two kids, one male one female, both in their late teens and wearing civilian clothes, follow her. They look unhurt and you two don't see any immediate indicators that they have been treated badly.
Endra leads them to the table and they both sit down, the girl next to Alex, the guy next to her. Endra also sits down, next to Hector. She picks up the pile of cards again and starts shuffling it without paying it too much attention.
Looking at Cass, she asks: "Want to prove it?"

Endra looks at the others around the table. The cadets seem unsure and exchange some looks with each other. They also glance at Cass and Alex but don't speak. In the end, they both nod.
Hector shrugs and turns around at the woman with the broken jaw. "Sandra, do you feel up to it?" The woman wordlessly gets up from the bed, walks towards the table and sits down between Hector and Cass.
The man who stunned you after your abduction does not join you. He sits down away from the table with a datapad in hand.
Endra makes eye contact with Alex as she waits for her decision. Her gaze is very intense, almost as if she was looking through Alex' eyes straight into her brain.

Endra does not divert her attention but the male cadet replies to Cass: "I'm Chad Havering, this is Rachel Finn. If we may ask, who are you two?"

Endra starts passing out cards to everyone participating.
Rachel says: "It's nice to meet you. Sorry that you're in this mess. I hope it's not our fault."
