Derelict space Station - Shiva Rao

by Captain Peter Avignon

Baji Rao - Orbital Station
Independent System
The mercenaries of this system that function as the customs charge us 30,000.

  • I make a note for the guild to offset this cost for future

  • Biggest collective organization of mercenary company doesn't normally do this

  • gravity sucks, 5x Earth gravity

  • Lucid can't handle this

  • Lucid found a client, some fired workers who want us to find "dirt" on their former employers on their space station at Shiva Rao.


    • Shiva Rao Planetoid, Private Station
    Beñat and Aidan space walk to the station after we dock, because the automated security locked us out for trespassing. Lucid's new drone covers them too.
  • they brute force the door, aside cannot be opened remotely. It takes about 40 minutes - 80 minutes total for the ev suit.

    • I fly our ship into the space port. We might need to sort out an exit plan.
  • Lucid dons a vacc suit to join us

  • Beñat and I hold down the corridors looking for coprorate murder bots.

  • unfortunately, the corridors are clear, although the living quarters were a mess.

    • Everything else is conspicuously clear.
  • we haven't encountered any more automated security.

    • While Lucid is tinkering in the computewr, Beñat recognises an ultraviolet pulse being sent out, the hallmark of a silent alarm.
  • He and Aidan take up defensive positions while Lucid and I try to get what we can off the computer. We see on one of the sensor packages the following warning:

    • "Alert: Security System Compromised"

  • We know 8 security bots are on our way, plus another unknown signal coming from all five directions but appears to be one entity.

  • Aidan recognises this as potential dirt - a "nano-swarm" - millions of microscopic machines capable of ripping us apart on a micro level.

    • We fight our way to engineering, to get to the environmental controls to cook the nano-swarm
  • Aidan uses his mind-fire

  • Beñat and I have our laser weapons

  • Lucid has her drone

    • Beñat runs to engineering, I follow after him.
  • Aidan and Lucid take some damage out in the corridor, but is able to cook nano-swarm.

    • Beñat stabilises Lucid and Aidan. Lucid is conked out for a bit.
    As the bots approach, we radio over to Arkip and Astrid for help.
  • I buy us an extra couple minutes to fortify ourselves by securing the doors to engineering.

    • The Battle
  • The engineering is not as safe as we hoped

  • The bots make no qualms about shooting the sensitive equipment

  • Down to the skin of our teeth, we manage to fend them off until Arkip and Astrid arrive, who dispatch the remaining bots.

  • Lucid regains consciousness after the fight, and is forced back to the ship on Benat's doctor's order, along with myself and Astrid.

  • He and Arkip to gather more dirt.

  • They return to the ship.

  • We meet up with the fired workers, who pay us 350k credits.

    • Dirt Gathered


  • Nanoswarm is a Class III device (put in a jar)

  • Scans of the nerve gas in the atmosphere of the station
