What a wild few weeks! It all started when Mphoentle Begin the cocoons herself in her room. Weird but COOL.
Grab the Aleph Key and Save the Cobalt Syndicate
Mr. Union's got a job from his buddy Jal to find some Urtifacts called the Aleph Keys. Sounds SUPER. Doc was totally into it too. It was a simple mission really, fly in, get in the crashed ship, get the keys, get out.
And...it WAS.
Except for the parts where Mr. Union was crushed by the giant millipede, all the crashed ship crew disappeared into nothing and the ship core going critical for some reason. We also rescued some members of the Cobalt Syndicate who went down to rescue anyone from the crashed, exploding ship. Meade Grey's big ol' heart grew three sizes that day. We were on our way out after a successful mission when we got a distress call from the surface. Meade talks to their Captain Keev who asks we save that rescue crew. So we did. No biggie.
Doc saves the three crew member's lives like a total pro and we get them back to their main cargo ship where we meet the Captain. Remember that part where all the original crew on the crashed ship kinda just...disappeared? Well, I found metal parts of people, like fillings, metal legs ...and a ring. It seemed wrong to leave it on the floor, so I looked around til I found a holovid-frame of a couple fishing together on a nearby desk. I put the ring on the frame. Felt right.
Turns out the Captain was one of the guys in the holovid, which means his partner, Ken, was the other one. Captain was real torn up about Ken and I get it, cause Ken didn't die, he just vanished. I told Meade and the Doc after that I promise we're gonna figure out how this Aleph Key doo-hickey works and what it did to Ken. Maybe it sent him somewhere. Maybe he's alive.
Steam Room
Using the cred from the job, we all took time to build the ship's Steam Room! It's SUPER.
And building it was fun with Doc and Meade. They were great helpers. And Mpho's cocoon scent was soothing!
It was super to sit and enjoy a steam with the guys after we finished it.
Using the Aleph Key!
On the way out of the Brekk system, we hit another job near the jump gate. There's a ship called the Skink that's preying on relief ships. We send a fake signal that we're a medical ship to bait them! HOOK! LINE! ...Stinker! So we aren't that super at fire fights, but joke is on them - we're all SUPER smart. We charge up the Aleph key and disappear the whole crew. Now we have another ship! SUPER!
