When Max and crew reached the docking area for merchant ships, they saw that there were a high number of security officials trying to strictly monitor the inflow of goods and people into the area, as they were desperately trying to identify some individuals.
The problem was, that with the fire outbreak a lot of merchants were rushing in goods that would have otherwise perished in the fire from various local shops for safekeeping, and various immigrants and tourists were also rushing in for fleeing the planet because they could not make it to the teleportation centre because of the fire.
Due to this situation, the law and order had broken down and the local officers were not able to perform their duties to their full capabilities.
" Damn, without the fire we would be screwed " said Max as he assessed the situation and realised that it would have been extremely troublesome if the group tried to enter the Docking ports without this extreme situation.
