Transcript

HAL TAFFIN: So, this time you got enough money to make me feel like having a conversation with you?

LEV ARRIS: Yeah. Now about that pod.

HAL TAFFIN: I sold it to a guy named Angus Santana on Anhur. He works for some charity called Interplanetary Aid.

LEV ARRIS: What did Santana want with it?

HAL TAFFIN: They were looking for something to use as a med-evac.

LEV ARRIS: How come you sold it so fast?

HAL TAFFIN: I don't like trouble. That ship's trouble. There was some people, there was a lot of questions. Everyone's getting rid of anything they had from that ship.

LEV ARRIS: Why all the interest?

face nervously.
