The Ambassador had been through Spacedock's transporter a number of times, and Kitanya had her transporter trace. That would allow her to positively identify the Ambassador. If she was being kept prisioner she could be held in a cell, or confined to quarters. However, being as she was probably rather ill without her serum, she would most likely be in the ship's sickbay. Quite possibly in a private room, under some kind of watch. Getting her to the shuttle bay would be dependant on how well off, or how poorly, she was. Kit had a plan, but she wasn't sure about the atmospheric 'swimming' thing. She detested water and was a poor swimmer; the Mikan were a savannah clan, used to open, arid lands. That would be hard. But, she was guessing the Venasians knew little about Caitians and wouldn't be able to tell her from the next one, so that was in her favor. She sped onward to the intel/ops base.
