Amox and Khan weren't worried about their safety, but the situation still forced them to stop and think. The workers weren't strong, and a few rifles couldn't threaten elite third-level warriors. Yet, those weapons weren't pointed at them.
There was more to the matter, and Amox and Khan did their best to gain as much information as possible in those tense seconds.
Weapons weren't allowed in that environment. The station had lodging areas, but the workers couldn't bring guns. It was a security hazard managers had to enforce.
The station's purpose was the only explanation for the rifles' presence. Those weapons probably belonged to shipments the criminals had stolen and kept hidden inside the structure.
That prompt reaction was another important detail. Khan and Amox had barely spent half an hour inspecting the workers' lodgings. The criminals had been ready for an insurrection for a while.
