A couple of questions about how things are going down from the POV of people who are still on the Moira!
1. How will information be disseminated about the situation? Are the captains making an announcement (handwaved or not)? How much will characters be told up front?
2. With regard to attempted rescues, how much recon is possible to do from a distance, and how much has to be done on-site?
3. Editing to add this one, since I thought I covered it in the first two, but now realize I'm being too vague: is it going to be reasonably simple to locate the potentially enslaved characters, presumably via MID signal, or will those initial efforts need to be more complex than that? If they're located at least in a broad, basic way by signal, is their location going to be a clue as to the nature of their enslavement? The list of locations here suggests that might be the case, but the fact that we're only talking about a market/holding outpost says maybe not?
(You can see more context for what I'm asking in some of my comments down at the bottom of the page. Some people are thinking they might want to help by hacking slaver communications or setting up communications for the rescue teams that can't be easily hacked, etc., but we don't know quite enough to know if that kind of plotting is viable/necessary, just that it's maybe something they could do depending on how the details shake out.)
