Session XXXVI: Of Assassins and Assassinations - Report
General Summary
As the dust settled from the combat the Crew had partaken in they looked around in somewhat surprise and astonishment. Nyxotte stood in front of them with an inscrutable look on her face. Her gender seemed most obvious not due to any exposed parts of her body but the sleek form she held and the curvature of her hips. It was a body meant for speed and agility and while the male members of the group that hadn't been chemically gelded likely took notice their interest was no doubt tempered by the understanding that she could kill any of them where they stood in a fair fight. Luckily for the group though the odds were decidedly in their favor as they had the advantage of numbers.
Nyxotte understood her position but showed no signs of cowing in the face of potential trouble coming in the form of the rest of these would be assassins while she was an actual acolyte of the prodigious officio assassinorium house Callidus. A weapon forged from decades of constant training and sacrifice. She had struck a deal with the unwitting Ani and she would collect for her house in order to come back with something to show for her troubles.
Long story short however, Nyxotte played on her abilities with too much of a sense of the grandiose however and none of the gathered crew took any bit of a shine to the stubborn and haughty woman assassin. Even her contract holder Ani didn't like what she was hearing from Nyxotte and saw an opening to chop off a loose thread and then close this chapter of their troubles and get on with their lives.
Combat broke out suddenly as Nyxotte didn't appreciate the equally arrogant, but not incorrect comment, Rasp had made. She attacked the adept suddenly and the bell was wrung for the others. It was brutal and quick but the many united efforts of the crew forced Nyxotte to escape to lick her wounds. It was likely the woman would be back to collect the debt owed; one way or another.
The Crew wasted little time beyond the scuffle to make their own exit back to the 'Eternal Perdition' as the arbiters were undoubtedly on their way to investigate. They reconvened on board and took stock of their situation. Bjorn squared up with Chime Hobart giving him the scout sloop they had used to get back to Port Wander in return for his vassalage to Bjorn's warrant of trade. Chime had gotten a taste for adventure and gladly agreed to the terms of sending 30% of the profits in his trades between Port Wander and the rest of the imperial controlled Calixis sector back to Bjorn.
With negotiations with his new vassal buttoned up Bjorn was feeling good about launching back to space and continuing the search for Yve but something started to weigh on his mind. Isaac had mentioned that great swaths of the Perdition remained unexplored and the more they found out about Yve and her dealings the more obvious it became that she could of done anything to the ship while they had been away or left some other nefarious trap behind. Rasp and Brother Alfonse were quick to volunteer their efforts to eradicate and malign presences on board; xeno or otherwise.
Bjorn order the crew to search the ship before undocking from Port Wander. The team would be digging through the bowels of their own ponderous vessel. What other secrets did the Perdition hold. What would she be showing them in the future and would exploring all of her dark areas be a good idea? Only time would tell.
