Personal Log

by Captain Peter Avignon

  • Lucid blows up a computer when trying to log in. It was rigged.

  • In the same room, we notice a pile of desks

  • I keep my laser carbine over Beñat's soldier while he investigates

  • We find a woman, Hollo Ezrahm, and coax her out with some food from our ship.

  • We set her and Jan Vartha up in two of our rooms.

  • The ship's computer is told to monitor them.

  • The Next Day
  • We return to the ship

  • We find body parts...in place...in the central lab. No whole corpses, whenever a limb was removed it was brought to the central lab.

  • Pushing on, we move into an office attached to the lab. It is a minimalist modern office with smashed-out lights and a pile of junk formerly a computer.

  • In the crew staterooms, we find one normal-looking room for Gale Lynch, it looks like she's been dragged from bed.

  • In Drive Pod Two, we head up a ladder.

  • As we do, we hear human-like humming. Beñat readies his stunner and I ready my carbine.

  • Lucid goes "Hey buddy, do you like Mt. Dew? I got MRE menu #8."

  • Pent, the name on the uniform, immediately grabs the MRE and chows down. She takes all the food we offer.

  • The lights are smashed.

  • We bring her back to the Ship too.

  • Running out of space

  • 1 hour of aggressive behaviour followed by 5 hours fatigued, and 6 hours normal-ish, then repeats.

  • Probably not getting more than 4 hours of sleep

  • Aidan uses his psionics to stabilize them for 8 hours.

  • We find a bomb had gone off in the aux lab

  • Beñat hypothesizes that the combat drugs may have been stored in here and when the bomb went off, they got dispersed through the ship

  • We proceed to the remnants of Quadrant Three

  • Lucid goes through the ship's computer to send from the bridge's comms array back to our ship.

  • No fuel. Hull and life support compromised. Hull exposure to vacuum: one week.

  • As Lucid goes to contact Gregory, a metal pipe sails through the air and smashes the screen. We spin on our heels to find a tall angry man.

  • We retreat to the ship, and decide to wait for the O2 to deplete before returning.

  • While Lucid is patched up by Beñat, we plan our next moves.


  • We're going to rest up and try to take care of that final guy - the saboteur, having failed to make it off the ship after all. We'll bring the survivors back. We send a message to Gregory informing him of the situation and message.

    -Eridani Dragoons were the mercs who brought the unwilling test subjects to the ship.
    -It took 8 days in total to finish all this up.

    Cata Gule - 4500

    Gregory Thornfield pays us. 1,555,000 credits for the work. We set a course to jump (1 week) Mehen to get some guns installed on the ship with our newfound wealth.
