Contract: Reclamation of Auctioned Goods
FIRST SESSION
Next: Baby's First Torture Session
#Team High Turnover Rate was dropped into the only tavern (has no name beyond Hole Tavern) in The Hole. Arriving one day before the hand off. Through talking with the barkeeper they found that the seller, Nari pak Cordona, comes through irregularly but has a reservation for the next couple of evenings. Roquesta (Rocket) Strauss stayed behind to chat up the bartender (Shodri) while the rest of the party went to the star port.
At the star port the traffic controllers gave similar information as Shodri. He was offered a 10 credit bribe to report when Nari or Hannah Boucher landed. Jerzac Scarlewe also stayed behind to watch as additional assurance. They investigated the warehouse complex. Tralia Lightfoot debated stealing from a shopkeeper that sells exotic furs such as polar bear hides that were artificially resurrected from extinction for that purpose.
Bash, Tralia, and Scotty return to the tavern to catch up the rather intoxicated Rocket. Together they discuss various plans with varying degrees of murder and kidnapping. They decide to get a comm jammer (generously paid for by the captain at 80 cred). Jerzac reports that Nari landed and was heading to the tavern. Radio silence from the traffic controller.
Nari arrives and goes to her room. Jerzac rejoins the party. With the captain back, cooler heads prevail and the plan turns to just sedation vs murder. The rest of the party pools together to get a dose of sedative.
Nothing interesting overnight.
Morning comes. Party attempts to get a hold of Nari's breakfast to dose her. Shodri shuts that down.
Tralia goes upstairs in wait with the sedative in a syringe. Nari heads up after breakfast and Rocket follows.
There was a brief struggle while the sedative took effect.
Nari's room was tossed, finding a brief case with a numeric input and a bio-scanner and items on her person. Conspicuously nothing else.
Nari regains enough consciousness to whisper. She offered to give the code if SamTech paid the purchase price. Reveals the bio-scanner is a dead mans trap.
Rocket leaves to warm up the ship for fast take off while the party devolves back to various levels of murder and kidnapping.
Shortly before entering the star port, Rocket turns a corner and passes right past a woman matching the buyer's description and 2 men.
