Letting out a sigh of relief, “Good. I was hoping this would be enough information for you to make convincing documents to get us aboard and get at least some if not all of the food off the ship. Not sure what we can do to get the medicine off if it’s there.” Glancing around the notary, “Apologies for the disturbance so late... or early in the morning. ... but I must be off.” Giving Parker a slight head nod, I quietly and quickly make my way to the docks. ‘Can’t wait till this day is over... what a day it’s been’ I think as I need back to the docks to relieve Joe. (It was Joe right?)
Joe is relieved that you show up on time, and is eager to fill you in on what clearly hasn't been a thrilling shift. You thank him and bid him farewell.
The shift passes quietly, and apart from a group of drunk sailors stumbling out of a tavern on their way back to their ship, you only see a stray cat on the street until a light rose hue in the east announces dawn. As the fog slowly lifts across the bay, you see some fishermen already out on the waters, and you can see a fast paddlewheel rivercraft patrolling the harbour and letting a squad of six fists onto the docks to take up their routes through the Harbourside district. You keep an eye out for the patrols, but you quickly determine that the fist can't patrol the harbour regularly, and that they are relying on the services of mercenaries such as Gramult's bunch for security.
Bill relieves you on time, and asks you what to look out for and how you found the night shift. After a bit, he lets you head off, clearly seeing that you are tired, even though you know you have some more preparations to make.

Before attempting to try and locate blaze Malinkov, I’ll go back to the boat I borrowed and return it to where I borrowed it from. Then if that goes smoothly, I’ll make my way to Parker’s Notary to check in with him and see how he’s getting on with the documents we need and maybe catch a few hours of shut eye while I’m there.
You return the boat, and whoever it belongs to isn't there, so you leave it where you found it and then ask a ferryman to take you back. An hour later, you're back at Parker's notary.

Dart, you're amazed by how effortlessly and easily Parker took a copy of the seal and use clay to form a negative of the shape, before transforming that onto a seal stamp. With his large collections of inks and based off of your notes and the ledger copy you made with them, he quickly drew up a very convincing document with the appropriate seal, stationary, names and everything while you finished your shift. Unless Mr Creed himself was confronted with this, you feel that there's no way anyone would suspect a forgery.

I go through the plan thus far, pacing in Parker’s Notary. “So far you’ve made papers and identification to get us on board for an inspection.” Pausing for a moment for confirmation I’ll continue while still pacing. “In the last eight hours you’ve managed to draft a letter from Mr. Creed to give more credibility to our claim that the meat is bad. So we can remove it and give it to the resistance.”
Then a thought pops into my head. “If we are to get the medicine off the boat, provided it’s there. Could you also draft up papers saying it’s been requisitioned for elsewhere or something similar to that effect.” I’ll continue pacing while waiting for Parker to respond. Partly to stay awake and partly to help me think.
As You start, Parker, you struggle to come up with any good reason for the medicines to be removed, and you're afraid of making it too easy to see through your deception. After about ten minutes, you crumple up the paper and throw it against the wall in frustration.

Having continued pacing during Parker’s first attempt at drafting up his first set of documents for the medicine I jump in surprise as it’s chucked at the wall.
”Writer’s block? ... Got anywhere I can sleep for a few hours?”
(hoping I can get a little bit of rest. I believe darts been awake 24+ hours. Idea is to then ‘hunt’ blazes. And having the documents that need sealed with me so that the seal isn’t noticed as missing.)
I’ll wait for a response then follow his directions and head in and rest for a little while. Hoping he’ll be able to come up with a way for us to get both the food and medicine. And trying to come up with the best place to stake out to find a blaze to get their seal as I drift off to sleep.
"Im thinking that this Blaze Malinkov might just be the Fist commander here, tho he might be working for the governor himself, Theyre probly based within the Watch Citadel, the Seatower, or Wyrm's Rock.
“Hmmm” I’ll say rather groggily as I start rubbing the stubble forming on my chin. “Three places to check with two of us and not a lot of time to look”. Scratching my head I look around the room. “Got anymore of that coffee ... or another person to help us track down that Blaze?”
I get up and rummage around and make myself some coffee during Parker’s silence. “How do you feel about going on the ship not knowing the layout? It seems to me like we are trying to deceive our way on so to speak. Less so trying to sneak on. I figure checking with the trading company Magnus mentioned might work and one of us can check with him to help us track down Malinkov or another if they’re too difficult to get to undetected.”
"Shouldnt be hard to find where this Malinkov is. Getting to him however would be a horse of a different color. And from what i seen cargo ships are cargo ships. They are generally made along the same lines. Wide holds few compartments to carry as much as possible at a time.

OOC the seal was made before Dart got back
once the document was made Parker takes the seal and places it into a lockbox, then hides the box under a loose board under his bead
when dart returns he is sitting by the window sipping coffee, the documents on his desk
