Unused as he is to how humans and other non-reptilian species interact, Vargach thinks that the conversation relates to the prank that the two guards tried, albeit unsuccessfully, to inflict on the party. However, in his heart of hearts, Zalacious knows that they are referring to him and the purse he successfully lifted from the guard. The guard looks affronted at Vargach’s comment and not understanding that the lizardman was referring to the prank cries out “’armless fun my left foot that bloody monkey” glaring at Zalacious “stole me purse!” Realising he may have overstepped the mark in referring to Zalacious as a bloody monkey, he continues “sorry ‘swain got a bit carried away in callin’ ‘im that, but he did steal my purse.” Looking at Nicolae he continues “as ta wot your father said if’n I’d been a bit more suspicious, I’d still ‘ad me purse!”
The Master Chief just stands watching the party and waiting for an explanation.
”Not pranksssss?” says Vargach with dawning realization. He turns to Zalacious and asks with surprise and what might be the start of…irritation perhaps, “You sssssstole?”

"Monkey?" Zelacious asks with shock.
"Bloody Monkey?!?"
"You racist, lying sack of corn riddled..." But the rest of Zalacious endless insults and accusations are lost to the fact that he draws weapons and attacks the guard that called him a Monkey. Leaping off the ground and at the guard, Zelacious slashes out with his rapier and then follows up with a dagger attack... (Zelacious will use Inspiration for advantage on the rapier attack.)
Rapier Attack: 22 Damage: 10 plus 2 Sneak Attack damage
"Hmn. A purse was stolen? My that sounds rather-..."Is about perhaps all Dee Da Do can get out before Zalacious take things in his own hands. And while the plasmoid had been incidentally in some ways instrumental in Vargach defense where it came to bedding arrangements, the oozefolk is so caught off guard by the attempt to attack that he can only watch in genuine amazement and fascination. "Oh my!"

Naidania is slightly stunned by the sudden aggression coming from Zelacious, and she refrains from taking any action at the moment.

"What are you doing?" exclaims Shean and seeing that Nicolae jumps to intercept him he turns to the others "Please excuse my comrade, he is under a lot of stress lately... being detained at all.. "
Knowing that Zalacious has a hair trigger, Nicolae is ready for any intemperate action that the hadozee might take. He is therefore able to interpose his body and successfully grab Zalacious as he launches himself at the guard. Watching the confrontation and attuned as he was to the ways of warriors and their little tells, Vargach realises that both the Master Chief and the Bosun were ready to swing into action if required.
Seeing that Nicolae has managed to successfully restrain Zalacious, the Master Chief says "there'll be no fighting outside of the simulation room. If you've got an issue with each other go and book a slot and sort it out! I'm sure the other cadets will be interested in betting on the outcome! Equally there is to be no stealing so if you stole something I suggest you give it back. As to any repercussions I'll leave that up to your crew mates?"
Blocked and grappled, Zelacious squirms and wriggles and complains none the less and even as Nicolae is speechifying the Hadozee has the wits about himself to try to plant the coin purse on his captor without being noticed.
Sleight of Hand: 17
IF Zelacious feels he was successful in dumping the evidence without being seen, he loudly proclaims his innocence, insults his accusers and offers to strip down to his danglies and let the world see the only valuables he needs!
IF Zelacious feels he failed or was spotted then he'll laugh and cackled and spit out "There's your coin, you skinflint! The hard earned bribes you stole off lesser willed recruits you bullied and scared! You're a disgrace to your uniform and this is coming from someone they had to kidnap and force into the rags!"

As the initial shock began to fade, Dimbo's more studious nature began to push forward and prompted the need to document the scenario! Even as a spare pseudopod or two began fussing with his satchel, the majority of sensors remained so glued on events that...
... it was hard not to quietly remark on the volume of spittle the Hadozee managed to produce in short order. "Are all Hadozee able to produce so much, or is this a characteristic of solids?" He commented on quietly and absentmindedly to himself, before aloud adding, "Wait, things are to be left to us? Truly? Good to know, then, good to know~"
Having observed many fights and brawls break out amongst his previous crew, Ozzy just stands back and observes but was ready to intercede with his size if it looked like anything more than a little blood was going to be drawn. He scribbles in his notebook, any observations he makes on the reflexes and fighting styles of his "comrades" as it would be useful information for later.
Ozzy spots Zelacious plant the evidence back on the guard but says nothing. As the group is led to the next area, Ozzy passes the guard and whispers "I'm sure you didn't mean what you said but I would advise you don't use derogatory comments like that in the future, hey?" Ozzy gives the guard a wink and a hefty pat on the back with his big hand and walks off with a whistle.
Naidania is relieved that someone was able to restrain the Hadozee, for she didn't want to use her magic against someone that is supposed to be team mate. As she compose herself, she notices clearly that Zelacious did indeed stole something, and he expertly planted into Nicolae's pocket. She did not want to make it worse than it is, so she didn't say anything. As they walk out of the room, she quietly tells Nicolae to inspect his pocket. "You will find something that does not belong to you." If he looks at her, she will nod towards the culprit.

"At the simulation room eh sounds interesting... we'll see about that ok?" he asks to the angry Zelaciuos. Oblivious that he is trying to play the guard he tries to finish th situation "We should be moving to our next task.. shouldn't we? "
During the struggle Zelacious manages to plant the purse on Nicolae without anybody noticing or commenting if they did. He then yells at the guard “I ain’t got it you maggot and you can check my privates” as he manages to use his free hand to undo his uniform “… to make sure it’s not there if you want?”Laughing the usually grim Nicolae says “do your pants up Zelacious, nobody wants to see your privates, they’re private after all!” As the party moves past the guards, the one whose purse was stolen says to the other “’e’s the only one that coulda done it. ‘E musta ‘idden it on that ship they went and looked at!”
The party now only has three outstanding tasks as follows:
Corp cadets only: collect service weaponry from Mister blip in Stores
Spelljammer cadets only: report to Spelljammer nexus for basic training
