Mission 1: Sabotage & Slipped Away
Mission 1: Sabotage & Slipped Away
The crew sits in their respective spots as Que types in the string of commands to launch the vessel into faster than light speed. As the lurches ahead the engines start to warm up and process the tachyon storage units. Then, an odd thing happens. The vessels main screen starts up, and Slip, the dreaded pilot and hacker from the Nemesis appears on the screen. She grins and waves "bye-bye", and then the screen goes dead again. Moments later you hear a loud CRACCCKKKKK and the entire ship starts to shake violently. A siren goes off and red lights flash. Dorian quickly does an assessment and realizes that the FTL drive is about to rip the ship apart so he uses an emergency procedure to shut it down.

Voss feels the ship lurch to a screeching halt. As the crew scrambles, he does Voss and begins searching the area for the odd Space Ley Line occurence. They (Space Ley Lines) happen, without a lot of explanation for why.

Que looks around as they come to a rest. When Dorian finishes lecturing everyone on the situation Que is annoyed. "Oh ma'am you are very evil. She could have killed us and we would have been stranded somewhere real bad."
Looking around the bridge Que grabs a bag of Hot & Spicey Tango Squares. After tossing a few down he asks the others. "So, want to hide the ship and I can take us to the planet? Or I guess we could ride there but at this speed it will take hours."

Ducky had never seen anyone so their looks don’t matter much. What matters is she is with people she can trust. Que, enigmatic as they come. Voss, a temporal blood hound. Dorian, Given’s curse but one fine engineer, Sera she knows everyone. Ducky smiled at her assesment of her crew mates. Softly she suggests more than commands now that things are moving forward, ”Que, take us in nice and easy. Dorian get this radio working and if you can’t what about some kind of signal that can translate through water, Sera find us someone you know, and Voss, good thinking find us that space line.” She stops a beat and with great pride feels a good energy from her friends, ” We have come this far together and we can and will overcome this and find the prince and those brain scans.”

Bombarded by damage control data Dorian pops open his helmet to escape the deluge of information. Putting a hand to his forehead the Altess rubs his temples and takes a few deep breaths to get control of his rage and frustration. "The radio will be repaired tomorrow, until then we have comms only so far as our personal systems allow. As for the FTL that will be much more time consuming. And expensive. Givens, I am going to require significant amounts of caffeine." He bends back to the task of repairing the radio console. Still angry with himself for missing the tampering and nearly costing them all their lives he's distracted however and keeps making small mistakes that he then has to go back to re-repair.

No matter how many times you experience it, Que's teleportation is still jarring. One moment you are on the ship, the next you are standing on the ground, the air so humid that you think you're standing in a sauna for a second. You feel so disorientated that you think you might throw up for a moment but then, no, you're ok. You find yourself standing on a brush chrome plate that is cut into the shape of an octogan. It's roughly 50 meters across and connnected to four other octogans. In the space between the connections you see that you are bobbing ontop of a vast ocean. As you cross from octogan to octogan you notice that they seem to be epoxied together by a puffy pink goo. As you cross, the salt breeze from the ocean hits your nostrils, making you think of better more relaxing times, like the mini vacation The Remorseless crew took on the beach planet after the Shawcross Caper You shake off the nostalgia and find yourself again, in the present. The octogans are dotted by merchants, selling anything from fish (you notice it's mostly the smaller feeder fish) to something called Long Pork, an expensive street dish that has an intoxicating aroma. As you walk along Sera pauses midstride, and remembers. She has a friend here, the Ocotopod known as Zed. A pep appears in her step and she leads the group in a specific direction now that one of you has a purpose. She heads to the tiki themed structure, an adobe building with a stray roof that upon entering, reveals itself to be a tiny bar, with space for maybe 10 patrons max. Luckily no one else is here, so you are able to find open spots. A minute after you sit down a dull gray red spotted octoman appears, several of hit tentacles scrubbing the bottoms of dirty glasses that they hold in the coil of the limb. As he sees Sera his skin darkens a few shades, and his body tenses up. "Sera!" How have you been honey?!" The dead black eyes flick to the rest of the group, seemingly assesing them.

Zed thinks for a few, his tentacles popping up from under the bar every so often, whipping up cocktails for customers.
"Hmm that does limit your options... I think I know someone you might be able to help though."
A tentacle somehow grabs a pen and scrawls down an address and some directions.
"Go to this section and ask for a lady name Athena. She usually hires for security detail, but can find some jobs that pay a good amount. Nice to see you again Sera, make sure to stop by so we can catch up before you have to leave."
Two of the tentacles grab Sera and give her a firm affectionate hug.
You follow the directions and are led to another pop up style shop, only this one is considerably larger than the little piece Zed worked (owns?). The space is austere aside from the seemingly limitless variety of weapony/armor/powered armor. Asking around for Athena you're directed to a short tough looking anthromorphic shrimp woman wearing a thin sort of environmental armor filled with water. She looks at the paper and nods.
"I think I can use you for a job if you don't mind pulling guard duty. Pays 200 g's. You interested?"
After the group confirms that they are indeed interested, Athena provides each with a environmental suit that is a thin plastic material that goes over your body/armor. She explains that it is able to extract oxygen from water, keeping land dwellers alive. She says there is a big shipment of a new experimental type of power armor, five sets in total, that needs to undergo further testing. A rival corporation however has gotten wind of this new protype and will do whatever it takes to get a suit for reverse engineering purposes. The plan is to move it through a system of underwater caves that occasionally break the surface (which is where you air breathers come in) in an attempt to avoid being intercepted.

Re: Mission 1: Sabotage & Slipped Away
After completing the repairs on the comms Dorian begins to survey the damage to the ships drive firsthand. His hope that sensor failures had cause the ships damage reports to be exaggerated were quickly dashed however. He directs both Mr. Givens and the Que copy in what to begin disconnecting and starts to make a list of just exactly what they need to replace when the ships AI notifies him of an incoming encrypted message for which they have no matching key.
"Oh? Well that is unusual. Givens, spare Que, it seems there's a new strangeness going on. That or we're getting someone else's messages. Hopefully the latter as we have quite enough debris in our orbit at the moment" Heading to the bridge he begins to decode the transmission.

Athena, the mantis shrimp humanoid, takes you to the launch point via a vehicle that skims the surface of the water. From what you can tell, this planet is something like 95 % water, but you do see a few stray bits of land and even a few buildings on them. She takes you to a cove where there is a large mouthed cave. Setting the skimmer down near it, she hands out some rations and explains you have to wait until nightfall, another 12 hours. Anyone who wants to can rest up, eat rations, etc. (If you choose to stay up until the night, please give me a fatigue roll.)Shortly after nightfall, a semi truck sized egg-shaped blob bubbles out of the water. Athena walks over to it and presses her palm against it, causing a thin layer to shed off revealing five large crates on top of some sort of hovering base. Athena types in mid-air and a small "beep" comes from each of the bases, and you realize that she has synced them up to follow her. She heads into the cave, expecting you to spread out and follow, providing protection.

So Ducky did what she always did, she took forward position near their patron the aquatic shrimp. Perhaps as a way to dissuade would be agressors Ducky reached deep into her armor and found the spark of the forge! In moments she was transformed into a being of pure radiance, a gleaming knight of the sun itself! Still though a specter of her former self she had regained some semblance of her cosmic knight moniker Lighting Bird.
She hits the comms to the team, ”Eyes wide people. No matter what happens, if the enemy comes from above, below, sideways, or from within we hold. If they push us to brink of defeat we hold. We gave our word to see this cargo through safety. No matter what we hold this line.” +1 toughness +1 unshake for the team.

Athena leads you through a tangled network of a cave system. The uneven terrain makes it difficult for those on foot, and even tricky for those who elected to use a Hydrocycle. After a couple of hours you arrive at a big empty pocket of air formed by a large cave that breaks the water level. It's nearly pitch black, and the room is littered with skeletons of all size. The water is about knee level, but you can easily stand or sit on a skeleton or one of the many suits of destroyed body armor in here to take a load off. Que's sharp eyes notice that part of the black water is moving differently than the rest. In fact, it's a lot of parts. It's native camoflage ability almost conceals the giant octopus who's hunting grounds you are in. Que shouts a quick warning to everyone, making it so that everyone has an initiative card.

Note to GM
Hearing Ducky call out the command Que snaps into motion, jumping up and kicking the creature in its giant eye. Then with speed beyond the perceptive powers of any other being he begins a volley of hundreds, perhaps thousands of tiny little cuts and blows on the octopus. His single arm in no way imited when compared to the speeds he is able to land his blows before pulling away for a moment of clear assesment to allow the others to fire freely. The end result leaving it cut, bleeding and injured."Giant octopus Boss, looks like a craken without the upper humanoid parts. It has an eye, I am going to kick it."

Smarts rolls: Dorian, Givens
Looking up from the decryption Dorian looks less than surprised. "It has been a couple of hours hasn't it. That it took this long for them to find a fight must be some kind of record." With an exaggerated sigh he stands and goes to retrieve his machine gun. Givens also gears up but with fewer theatrics and the two are ready when Que pops them down.fear tests: Dorian , Givens
At first Dorian doesn't see what the problem is but then he kicks his optics on and the cave is revealed to be filled with a tentacled mass reminiscent of some horror the splugorth might birth. He couldn't help but wonder in fear to the point of distraction what other horrors might lurk out in the dark water where his visual sensors failed to penetrate. Givens acclimates slightly faster than Dorian and move towards the massive beast, his great chainsword reving up to full speed. Stepping up to the tentacle nearest him he brings it down in a cleaving chop.

"Looks as though Mr. Que timed our arrival perfectly Lord Director.""Giant monsters in filthy caves, it's everything I had imagined." The Altess observes archly, barely keeping his voice from trembling as he sweeps his darksight from nook to cranny, trying to see everything at once. "I swear, I can't leave you people alone for a few hours without..." Gesturing at the beast with his machine gun he then lets lose a burst at its eye.

As the beasts immense corpse sinks into the water of the cave Dorian breathes a sigh of relief. Not out of any fear from the dangers of the beast but that he would get to return to the Sovereign that much sooner. The nice, brightly lit, definitely no dark caves holding monsters ship. Slinging the TK gun to his back the Altess begins to look over what at first appears to be junk, but a more discerning look shows there is much of value here.

"Indeed, however since he's not much use to us besides lifting things perhaps Mr. Givens should accompany the team on the mission."

Ducky slowed next to Athena. Her Atless sword was drawn and crackled with electricity. Her armor did not glow nor ignite into the brilliance it had when she faced the giant octopus. Truthfuly she recognized the desperation in the crabmen’s eyes. She had been desperate once and had fallen in with Darkstar and the black gaurd. The willingness to do what you had to do to feed your belly or family was a powerful one. Long ago she had seen the same look in the mirror that now looked at her from the crabman.
Blood had been shed, was it too late to prevent more from spilling?
”Athena, stay behind me. Givens see to her wounds. Dorian... Where the frak is he? Drinking? Frak.”. It was hard treading a noble path as part of a mercenary group, but so far her friends had always backed her play.
Loudly she shouted, ”Please no more killing... No more death. We want safe passage and are willing to pay.” Her lips pursed in a slight smile. At least @@Dorian Falstaff is going to pay.

"Hmm, you've returned." Dorian notes looking up from an array of screens. "Hopefully you even managed to get the right parts. Mr. Givens you did look everything over I hope? Good." Directing the robot to the engine room he turns to et back to the repairs.
Repair roll, 8. Time .75 days
Givens to aid
The rest of the crew just has time to shower, eat and nap before the Altess announces the job done. "In record time, of course."At A Glance

Having grown up an orphan, an urchin, and an outcast, Voss is the first to grab him some crab meat. His portable hole, holds a fair amount of the fresh crab which he puts on ice back aboard the Soveriegn.Stoic wrote: ↑Tue Aug 20, 2019 8:30 pm The crew goes through the crabmen like a hot knife through butter, speaking of which, Athena, mercifully healed by Sera, grabs a big chunk of crabmeat, and puts it into her fanny pack. She smirks, "Don't be shy, crabfolk are good eatin!" She waits for the crew to take their own spoils (or not)
He is able to work out using the ship's computers all right, especially when searching for Ley Lines and their signatures. That is when he stumbles upon the numerology and cryptography.Stoic wrote: ↑Tue Aug 20, 2019 8:30 pm Now that he has the required parts, Dorian make make a repair roll at a -4 and have it fixed in 1d6 days. In the meantime, you notice that Dorian has been working on something odd. The ship log shows that files on numerology and cryptography have recently been loaded up, and he seems to get a far off look in his eyes sometimes. Jason, please make Dorians repair roll.

@Dorian Falstaff "You have been busy while we were on that watery planet. I could have gotten the parts a lot cheaper than what you paid for but you have already spent the credits."Voss points to the computer screen, "Tell me what you are looking for with all this information and I cna help simplify your research."

Re: Mission 1: Sabotage & Slipped Away
During the fight Ducky did her best to subdue her crabman foe, but something was eating at her, something Voss had said. The images of the splynn Dimensional market haunted her. She had wallowed as a Dark Guard for a year in that place silently watching lives being traded or snuffed out. Had Ducky come across Voss there? Often times Voss seemed too familiar... Perhaps.
Ducky glances at at Athena and stabs her through the head after she hands over the credits freezing the fish’s face in a permanent half smirk. A quick shake of the head and Ducky merily said as they parted ways, ” It is never good to take the life of anyone so hungry and desperate to feed their own family or have sex with their loved one.” Crestfallen Ducky looked the rest of the crew knowing she could never forgive them for murdering the crabmen. Que alone had killed so many in a blink of an eye without thought, hesitation, or remorse... Simply because the crabmen were attacking they deserved to be snuffed out??
Aboard the ship Ducky found @Dorian Falstaff and just looked at the techno wizard. She smiled sadly, ”Next time you go and I stay on the ship.” She paused unable to shake a feeling... Had Dorian been working on the ship’s computer files? I mean Ducky had never seen a file in her life yet somehow she could just sense some quantum change... ” So you’ve mucking arround the computer? Hiding something or protecting something, ploting something?”

Voss did his best to remain cool, calm, and collected. The Splynn Markets were a place he had no desire to return to. And Ducky made him nervous beyond reason.
The saying goes keep your friends close and sleep with the enemy so you know when they will turn on you. Voss had no intention of sleeping with Ducky but he certainly kept a wary eye. He had no desire to go back to the Market or be a slave. Anything and everything that could be done to stay free, he was doing.
Voss and his sister hated slavers. Hated them almost as much as they hated the Splurgoth.

Voss remembered once dealing with the Dark Guard during a trade. His sister had rigged a psychic flash into a device that had been bought by a couple of Dark Guard. The device was designed to detect those that were hiding or belonged elsewhere. Simple device with only one drawback, when the escapee was approached, whoever was holding the device got an enormous psychic surge or flash.During the fight Ducky did her best to subdue her crabman foe, but something was eating at her, something Voss had said.

Back on the ship Que made himself a calamari sandwich. Taking pauses as he ate long enough to talk. "Well that was a little strange, short trip to that planet and all. But I mean did anyone else feel like something weird just happened. Or maybe something weird is about to happen?
"I do not know..." His words trail off when he sees Ducky and Voss being melancholy and paranoid together. "Um, you guys arn't planning to kill each other are you? I mean you are like being all quiet like the lone wolf character, but you keep looking at each other. I don't think the GM is going to allow PVP."
