How did Dorian know about the Liberator crew being stranded on Terminal?
He
seems to get there very quickly, and knows about them all, knowing their numbers and names (and possibly clothes sizes going by recent posts!) I don't think Avon would have waited very long before checking Servalan's ship, so that must have been the same day; Dorian arrives the next day.
And the flight to Xenon doesn't exactly take long, and Scorpio's not up to much in the way of speed at this pre-Stardrive stage, so the two planets probably weren't all that far apart. Dorian might simply have been checking out intruders in his backyard. I think it's reasonable to suppose that he knew of the Liberator, and could put two and two together if the specs on the new arrival were detailed enough. So it was probably a case of, "Hmm, what's this? Big ship heading for Terminal. Fast too. Big enough and fast enough to be .... Hold the fort, Soolin, I've got something to check out."
