Back on the spaceship.

The commander slithered around the bridge in frustration. It's skin tone at the moment was deep red, denoting **** anger. It's appearance was somewhat similar to a huge plucked turkey with four tentacles as a form of locomotion and two tentacles as upper limbs ending in six manipulative digits. The most notable feature of the commander's race was the ability to polymorph, a useful survival trait if you evolved on a planet with a surfeit of large predators.

The door to the bridge opened and two scout operatives slithered smartly in and saluted the commander. The commander waved them closer and it's skin colour paled as it coposed itself to deliver the briefing.

"It would appear," The commander said "that the guard who engineered this escape was an imposter. Somehow it falsified it's computer records to masquerade as a newly appointed guard and was also able to overide the failsafes preventing an escape shuttle launch. The shuttle has been tracked to this planet."

The commander brought up a holographic display of a blue/green planet using it's personal computer. Every justice corp member was equipped with the computer unit. It was a box about six inches long that combined the functions of universal translator, database and sidearm. Once fitted onto the tentacle the computer merged with the wearer and were operated directly by thought.

"It is a technologically primitive world, but highly populated. The natives can be extremely aggressive. You will be landed as close to the shuttle as possible and as soon as possible you should assume the identity of the native sapient species. You will be able to track the fugitives through the homing beacons in their computer units. Doubtless they will attempt to resist when cornered. Natives should only be harmed as a last resort and under no circumstances reveal your true identities."

The commander made a dismissive gesture, signalling the end of the briefing. The two scouts waved their tentacles in the formal manner of respectful salute and slithered off to the shuttle bay.
