Before the race actually started, Rafaela made her own inspection of her ship. She examined everything that she'd brought aboard carefully, and then examined the interior of the scout. It took her longer than it had taken the two Eks Corp Security officers, and she felt a little shocked when she actually found something.
One of the drawers had a nearly transparent sticker stuck to the bottom of it. The scariest thing was that the only reason she was absolutely certain that it didn't belong there, was because this was a beyonder ship, and the tiny numbers printed on the sticker were drawn in her own system's style. Something so small wouldn't be able to do much, but she didn't have any way to tell what it was intended to do, so she stuffed the entire drawer into the single large containment locker that lay between the cabin and the drives.
