[Matthew Harmon - Deck 30 | Evening following S2E9]
With Avi's arrest imminent and the Alliance potentially still crawling around, Matt was eager to find Mott before anything else happened. To Matt's frustration, he was an elusive little urchin. Though that sort of thing was part of what had made him so interested in the young Bolian. The trail had quickly gone cold when he went searching the promenade, so he had tapped into the stations cameras to see if he could track where the boy went after fleeing the supply closet. He wasn't exactly meant to access the cameras while suspended, but still knew how to get into them. Besides, it was for a good cause at least. There were a few times where he'd lost Mott on the cameras so it took some time to properly track him down. Eventually he found him at a hasperat stand, but he soon left. It was hard tracking him from there, but eventually Matt was able to find the boy. He'd somehow found his way near the docking clamps in a space overlooking the docking ring stocked full of snacks.
Matt hoped that Mott wouldn't move in the time it took for him to get there, but at least now he was close. He quietly climbed up towards the space overlooking the docking ring where he'd seen Mott go. Luckily, once he got to the top the kid was there. There would be no more need for the tedious process of tracking the slimy little Bolian. "Mott...hey," he said quietly unsure what to say to begin with.

[ Mott Moz | Hideout, Docking Ring, Frontier Station | Some hours after the conclusion of s2.e9 Flotsam ]"Matt ... hey." Mott deftly mimicked the human's way of speaking. He was munching on some kind of touch cured meat stick, watching ships come and go. He'd laid out a blanket and also procured a small lantern which glowed warmly beside him. It was clear he intended to stay for some time. Mott's instincts were to offer Matt something to eat, but he defied manners and kept his food to himself. "What do you want? I'm not going anywhere. I'm fine on my own." He had it all worked out. That is to say, he had nothing worked out beyond the next twelve hours maximum when he'd have to come down for the bathroom and more provisions. Part of him wanted to leave because no one on this station would possibly be able to understand him - not even a Betazoid. But he'd worked so hard to get here having weaseled his way all the way from the planet Ayo. A Bolian wasn't supposed to wander like that. A Bolian was supposed to stay. He liked it here.

[Matthew Harmon - Hideout]
It seemed Mott had built himself quite a nest up here. Matt wasn't too sure how long the kid wanted to stay, but it seemed like he was ready to be up here for a while. "Can I sit?" he asked, indicating the space next to Mott. "I won't make you go anywhere you don't want to," he told the boy, deciding that a gentler approach was probably going to work best. "You like watching the ships?"

[ Mott Moz | Hideout, Docking Ring, Frontier Station | Some hours after the conclusion of s2.e9 Flotsam ]Mott didn't answer when Matt asked to sit, but he did pull away the package of hot sauce bottles to make space. Matt asked if he liked watching the ships. Mott shrugged and kept his gaze on the portholes. "Yeah, sure. What are they going to do to her?" Matthew Harmon

Once Mott cleared some space, Matt sat down cross legged next to Mott. "I'm not sure yet. She's been arrested. I'm going to try and help her. I think it may be a little while before she's free again," he explained. There was no point lying to him, that wouldn't help anyone. He wasn't sure yet how lenient they would be. The Federation had an emphasis on restorative justice, so there were avenues that could reduce Avi's potential sentence. Her service assisting Starfleet could help as well. For now though, it was too early to tell.

[ Mott Moz ]Mott chewed in the meat stick as Matt gave him a cursory explanation. Absently, he handed over one for Matt to eat, forgetting that he was cross with him. "Yeah, but what will they do? Is she going to have to leave the station? Get sent to an asteroid?" He knit his dark eyebrows in concern. He shook his head, looking off again. "Look at the position she's put me in. This isn't how it's supposed to be. We're supposed to stay together and now we're separated. What's even the fredricki point? What's this all been for! Now what!" Matthew Harmon

Matt took one of the meat sticks from Mott and took a bite as the kid continued to ask questions. "I don't think she will be sent to an asteroid. She might have to leave the station for a little bit, but there's a good chance she can stay," he said aware that his answers weren't likely to be particularly reassuring. They were, however, honest. "She did the wrong thing," he nodded in agreement, "But I think she did what she thought would protect you. You'll see her again soon," even if she couldn't get out of a prison sentence, Matt probably would be able to get Security to at least allow Mott a visit if he wanted one.

[ Mott Moz ]The man's words weren't comforting exactly, but they had the ring of honesty. Mott knew well that even adults couldn't know everything although some pretended to. Mott sighed, seeming a little more relaxed. Matt's estimation of Avi's motivations, they made more sense than anything else. That's what he'd told himself, that somehow, she was trying to do the right thing. It would be difficult to function if he believed anything else. It was about then that a little voice came from somewhere on Matt's person. =A= "Henriksen to Harmon. Have you seen a Bolian boy, Mott Moz? We're looking for him," =A= she said into the comm. =A= "It's a high priority. Eastman's orders." =A= Mott tensed now. He shook his head, his brows knit. Then he whispered, "ask why. Ask why they want me." It was obviously about what had happened, but he would make himself a major problem if security wanted him to snitch. Matthew Harmon

[Matthew Harmon - Hideout]Matt noticed Mott slowly starting to relax a little. It was good, he was making progress. The fact the boy didn't immediately try and run away from Matt was itself an absolute win. However, that could well change after the combadge in his pocket chimed with Mabel asking about Mott. Matt nodded and put his finger to his mouth to tell Mott to be quiet before he replied. =/\= What's going on? What's Eastman looking for him for? =/\=He assumed it would be because someone had reported him missing, or he was wanted as a witness.

[NPC - Lt. Mabel J. Henriksen - Ops]Mabel had to weigh her words carefully. She had a sneaking suspicion that Matt knew where Mott was, and that her words (or a Matt-ified version thereof) might reach the Bolian before she ever did. =A= "Well, Matthew, we just finished renovating the VIP quarters, and someone needs to do the proper inspection of them. Make sure the replicator is working and all that," =A= she declared. It was a lie with a hint of truth in it. =A= "The Captain heard he might be available, but be warned - there is paperwork." =A= Best way to make a story believable? Just add forms. =A= "But we can get him pizza. I'm actually in the mood for pizza." =A=

[ Apazi Fellin | Ops ]Back in Ops, Fellin, who was stood next to plain clothes Mable Henricksen, crossed his arms over his chest, impressed. She lied with confidence and savvy and apparently no qualms about it. One could argue that lying to a kid to trap him was just short of his warning to avoid coercion, but Fellin wouldn't, not today. It wasn't Fellin who was doing it. Fellin was the kindly old ochi who provided frequent meals and diversion. [ Mott Moz | Docking ring ]Testing replicators? Pizza? Mott dove forward to land half-way in Matt's lap so he could tap his comm badge. =/\= Plipperoni on the pizza. And cheese. Are the replicators the new model? Because, not trying to be rude, but the ones in the replimat can't do the gaseous foods very well which isn't fair to the Risians.=/\= He pulled back, but then reached back over. =/\= This is Mott, by the way. =/\= Matthew Harmon, Judith Eastman

[Matthew Harmon - Docking Ring]It seemed that Mabel was onto him based on how she was speaking, she was apparently trying to bait Mott without giving any information. He was proud, but annoyed. Unfortunately, Mott took the bait pretty quickly, causing Matt to lower his head slightly in disappointment. =/\= Oh...look, there he is. Found him. =/\=He shook his head though briefly smiled slightly at Mott. "I suppose we've got to go find Mabel now?" he said to Mott, choosing his words carefully so as to convey there wasn't much choice but to see Mabel now while still appearing to give the boy some sense of agency.

[NPC - Lt. Mabel J. Henriksen - Ops -> VIP Quarters]Mabel was immensely satisfied with her little play working so well. =A= "Meet me in the VIP quarters. I'll bring the forms," =A= she ordered, all business-like and adult-ish. "You don't have to stick around for this part," she said to Fellin, before heading out herself, towards the VIP deck and the newly refurbished suites.

[ Mott Moz | VIP Quarters ]"I know where they are." Mott made quick work of securing his little camp. His snacks and other provisions were loaded into a knapsack and he pulled his boots on once again and covered his head with his hood. He didn't suspect this Mabel person of any ulterior motives, his eagerness to be useful and lend his expertise taking the front seat in his concerns. Perhaps he wanted to prove something, prove that his family were not a problem, that the Moz clan was a vital part of station life. He pushed down the difficult thoughts about Avi, believing for the moment, no one but Matt and Mr. Apazi knew of his involvement. It didn't even occur to him that anyone would be concerned about his caretaking; he was so used to being trusted to be on his own. Perhaps he should have factored in the different culture on the station as opposed to Celladore. Mott led the way to the VIP quarters. They were in a nicer part of the station where the lights didn't flicker and the hull wasn't off-color. He chimed himself in. The unlocked doors sliding open to the visitors. He slid off his boots and dropped his bag by the door, then immediately moved around the room looking for the replicator bay. "Oh, it's big," he said, tracking the edge of the replicator window. "You could get an entire Orion boar in this!" An exaggeration, but that was the problem with replicators - serving size. Judith Eastman, Matthew Harmon

[Matthew Harmon - Docking Ring -> VIP Quarters]"VIP quarters. Fancy," he said with a bored montone voice as he went along with Mott to the VIP quarters to meet Mabel in her trap. It seemed the kid didn't have any clue that Mabel wasn't exactly telling the truth. "Mabel," he greeted curtly and with suspicion in his voice as they arrived. "Didn't know the Captain took so much interest in runaway kids," he said somewhat jokingly.
