YOU HAVE A COLLECT CALL

Cato stared out the viewport of her attack pod, barely able to make out the stars in front of her thanks to the superficial, though no less disruptive, cracks running through it. It was her fault for plummeting intentionally into the hull of a well-defended Arcosian prison vessel, but she had more important things to do than wait around in a freezing cold spaceport waiting for it to be patched. As long as it didn't threaten the structural integrity of the ship, she would fly by instruments--and just make do with the lack of anything interesting to look at.
She hooked her scouter into the main terminal on the attack pod, running through various frequencies. It had been a long time since she had contacted anyone on Plant, and she had no way of knowing who her friends were at this point. She was reasonably sure she could count on one person, even if she had misplaced some anger towards him in the aftermath of the disaster at Hatchi.
She set up the scouter to make the call, before sitting back to wait.
"Vocado," she greeted, when she was reasonably sure she had the right frequency. "It's been a long time. This is Cato. I'm sure a lot has happened on Plant since my... absence, but there's news that you need to know. Arcose is about to undergo a regime change, at least if there's any luck left in the world. The former-Lieutenant Ticoga is planning to force the last triumvir, Mint, out of office."
She considered her next statement carefully, not knowing how he would respond to the news. He was an opportunist, she knew, and there was always the chance he would jump at perceived weakness in a way that could put them into conflict. Eventually, she let out a harsh sigh and continued.
"I plan to help him claim the throne, if he needs my support," she stated. "In return, he's freed some valuable warriors into my custody. Saiyan prisoners, former pirates and soldiers of fortune. You might consider keeping an ear out. Ticoga on the throne might be better for Plant than Mint, given his association with one of Arcose' more reckless past leaders."
