At Blocks Query. "Yeah, I think you guys would do good to pick up a laser comm module for your commlink. Not very expensive, but provides secure Point to Point communication.

I'll introduce you to a couple of guys."
Tiny who says something about a secret admirer. "Trade secret. I might have an eye or two around."
