Kraykalon, the Union Guard Archaeloid, first attacked the human female, and knocked her out cold using his steel staff (which he'd brought on board, passing it off as a walking stick.) Kashyr, the Union Guard Reln, attacked the smuggler near him (green) and the battle continued. In the end, although Kray was seriously wounded, the smuggler captain's crew was defeated and the captain himself was critically wounded.
Kray and Kashyr then interrogated the captain, asking him to reveal who his contact was. The captain confessed that he didn't even know his contact--the Chiraktis kept their operation very compartmentalized--and all he knew was that he was supposed to meet his contact in the Star Wrangler Bar at the Hemera Starport. He handed over his MPC (micro-personal computer) and the characters transferred him to the brig on their ship, then took the smuggler's ship and flew to Hemera.
When they arrived at the bar, Kray spoke the code phrase given to him by the smuggler captain: "The weather sure is nice in Hemera, this time of year." The bartender, however, looked puzzled, and replied differently than they'd been told he would, saying, "Weather? What are you talking about, we're on a space station!" Kray was perplexed, and leaned over to Kashyr and whispered, "It's not worrrrking!" It was then that they realized the smuggler captain had lied to them!
