(warning: minor spoilers for the LEVIATHAN trilogy)
In the last book, the Leviathan had to make a stop at a Mexican output because it's fuel was inefficient.
Those at the output had stated that they would help the crew, in exchange for some sugar for their beasties.
Now, earlier in the story, The crew had found contraband (parts to a machine gun and film) in a barrel of sugar,
which is exactly the supplies that the output sported. I thought that later in the story this would get cleared up,
But I read the full book and never was this topic brought up again (at least I think so, This is all from memory)
I was hoping If someone could explain or clarify this situation for me.
thanks In advance,
