01-01: Trouble on Bastrutis

General Summary

Having recently taken possession of The Coelacanth, the partial crew headed to the Near Space planet of Bastrutis to pickup their captain and his partner. The colonists on Bastrutis had recently uncovered deposits of noqual along with dens of akatas. Krist was on the planet with Ryn to aid the colonists.
Unfortunately, as soon as the ship landed, the crew was taken prisoner. Just a few days prior, the colony had been taken over by Aran-Zhao Industrial, an Aspis Consortium front company, using the mercenary company, Hexare Grenadiers, to provide “pacification services.” Krist and Ryn had been helping the miners form a resistance, but Krist had been captured as well. After an unproductive interrogation by the installed leader Three Fingers, the crew was escorted to their awaiting cells. Enroute, a resistance team led by Ryn and K’sessa overtook the guards, and the crew made for their ship. Using stealth and various distractions, they succeeded in reaching the docking bay without raising alarms, and after a brief firefight, boarded the Coelacanth and made their escape.
While Krist made some communications to mercenary contacts seeking aid for the miners, a message arrived from Abadarcorp offering a supply delivery job to one of their colonies in the Vast. The crew entered The Drift, heading to Absalom Station.
