Mr. Shilth, whom you've already met, is interested in acquiring the grounds
on which the Terran Embassy stands to subdivide into condominiums for
vacationing Groaci Peace Enforcers.  Because the land can't be bought while
the Embassy still occupies it, Shilth is hoping to have the Terran Embassy
forcibly removed.  Disguised as a native trader, he sold a set of \"Native
Art Objects\" to your Ambassador Pouncetrifle."

Unfortunately, the objects were stolen from the Rep's Meeting Hall, the
one truly sacred spot on Aldebarran III, which the thieves desecrated with
obscene slogans.  Ambassador Pouncetrifle learned of all this when he
proudly displaying them at an Embassy reception.  Naturally the Ambassador
was imprisoned.  After much verbal footwork the Ambassador convinced the
Rep that the whole matter was a misunderstanding.  The Rep graciously
agreed that matters might be set to rights by the return of the objects
and the payment of a token fine of 1,000 galactic credits.

him, (having expected to make further art purchases), and was released from
confinement to gather the remaining 15 credits and the missing objects.

trying out his Aldebarran-English phrase book on a native he believed to be
participating in a quaint street fair.  He has not been heard from since, but"
