Ow. Ow. That... hurts. Ow. Stop shaking me.

Criminy, what a hangover. Wait. No. I extricate my face from between the fuzzy sides of the chairs in front of me. Right. A crash. I squint around and notice Heloise, Brick and Franky all staring back at me. I adjust my hair.

Movement ahead of my draws my eye. A young lady seems to be tearing through her surroundings, looking for... something.

Soon I find myself outside, my head still buzzing. The young lady is called Kareen. A university dropout and a native. Seems like a real go-getter type. Two other survivors have materialized: a Vargr law student called Evan, and Phinen, a human salesperson big on Warehousing who... struggles... with silence.

Our landing site appears to be in an arid place, perhaps to the west of both Murdok space port, which is likely to the north of us, and Sterntown, which is likely to the south.

We spend some time digging around the craft for supplies. Luckily we find a rescue kit with rations and water and a way to make shelter and more of such necessities. Two first aid kits and a fire extinguisher too. We even raid the vending machine for snacks and water.

After scouting for supplies, Kareen takes to scanning the skies. She informs us that she believes we may have been hot by raider folk, who may set down to steal what they can from our craft. If so, we should expect company soon, and should make haste to depart with what supplies we have managed to save.
