The borrower

by Tabitha Curtis Sable Shadow

We are unable to really discover who or what has been using this area, nor have we been able to decipher any of the written materials or the computer console.

I agree to run over to the nearby Port Authority to grab a few things that Makeshift needs to create the device for the thrones. I go over the nearby fence and head straight to the dock's restricted personnel section to get the equipment. I do pass by some guy ripping up paper for some reason. I leave him alone as I don't have the moral high ground and continue on. I enter the office and attempt to charm the lady at the desk in order to get the items. I pull the 'don't anger the boss man' routine and she goes to get what I need. Now I just have to find a form to copy while she is away from her desk so she is satisfied with her efforts - and mine.
 
I walk away with some type of doohickey and charging cable, a box of tack, and a couple of radios. She completes the form and I walk out. I head back towards the shed and notice that it is getting a bit drafty out. I see there is a clean-up crew handling that guy who was destroying paper. I get back the shed and Makeshift tells me that he had visitors - a cleaning crew apparently that left everything as it was, but dusted.
