Following Pent and her box of parts, we stumble aboard the Lua Bao, where we are greeted by a Vargr called Christopher. He introduces himself as the Chief Security Officer of the ship. We briefly also meet the captain (a human named Luis), who issues stern orders that we're to stay in the passenger lounge, and are not to disturb staff under any circumstance.

For our comfort and necessity, we are to turn to the cabin boy Rodney. We quickly hustle into the various cabins, skipping the one of which the door remains - for the moment - closed. Both Franky and Diogo choose to forego roommates. I bunk up with Stigo and of course Heloise drags Brick into a cabin with her, instructing him on how to stow her kit.

Not long thereafter - the docking clamps have not even been released yet - the door of the occupied cabin opens, and a man in coveralls steps out.

He introduces himself as Randy Hayfield, and he seems like a capable sort. We make polite conversation and he seems well enough connected.

Around this time, Stigojoins the world of the more-or-less conscious. He complains of serious aches and pains, and upon investigation we see evidence that he has recently been implanted with a data chip. Some quick work by Diogo shows us that the contents of the chip have been encrypted and agelocked until Stigo's 25th birthday. We briefly consider trying to encrypt the contents, but the clear warning to the life of the boy makes us decide to leave it.

Findign ourselves a bit at a loss, we chew the fat with Randy. He mentions some loose association with an organization that seems to be... useful... for our current predicament. If we want to stay out of the claws of Sternmore Intergalactic, it would help if the thing that is currently our secret would be public knowledge. That's definitely a thread we should consider to pulling, so after some talk with the team, I propose that I write a report.

It would even be better if we somehow managed to curb the spread of our names. Perhaps Diogo's talents could be of use there. We'll consider our options in that avenue.

Lastly, though most definitely not leastly, we need to make a living. Here too, Randy seems to have something to offer - he corroborates a rumor that Heloise has also heard, thereby making it a virtually sure bet. Apparently the administration on Drinax is looking for a crew to do a job for them. Our contact is director Laris Spitral. It takes 2 hops to make it to Drinax, and I promise to have a whistle blower report ready for Randy to pass on by the time we set foot on that floating pile of faded glory.

To wile away the time, we all pick up some books,a game or a little research project. Diogo also proves a daft hand at the gaming table, and manages to win a bar of silver from me, with which he seems inordinately pleased.

Soon enough we make it to Drinax, and I make sure to give myself a little refresher on

...under construction...
