  • Later that evening the Trandoshan's holocorder rings, and Torin answers by clumsily putting the Trandoshan in front of the holocorder. There is no visual, but the voice states, "You didn't contact me," before he realizes that the Trandoshan has been compromised and disconnects the call. The group notes the frequency.
