I believe the ship they where asked to look for was Rhys' ship. The one the pilot sold him off of to the DOI. And does anyone else want to slap the DOI for that hideous thing they have done damaging their personnel that way?

I think there are two ships missing. One is Rhys' ship, which Val Con helps with in the epilogue. However, I think the Bedel as a whole also apparently are expecting a ship.

I got the impression that they had stopped on Surebleak for a while, but not with the intent to be permanent residents. So they probably sent their ship off, expecting it to come back after a while. However...

Maybe a future tale of the Bedel (and Korval?) will help explain where their ship has been? At least, I can hope... got all those fives to fill up, right?

There are two ships in play. I haven't seen the galleys yet, though they're promised RSN, but there ought to be some discussion among the luthia and the headman about how they're going to handle the future, since the pickup time is long past. Kezzi also asks Syl Vor, roundabout, when they're playing with the silhouettes.

That's a different ship from Momma Liberty.
