4/6/07 Prologue

The group came together, and much adventure was had.



4/13/07 Here we go a wassaling

Finished our delivery to somebody on Diomedes for 8000 credits. Aedil and Ules spent some time at an archaeology conference with Aedil's old mentor Platocrates. They also met Leif Hrulfgarrson. Crew made some security system modifications and Glaccus got laid. Then they took a job rescuing a ship stranded after a pirate attack, and disabled the pirate ship that lay in wait. The crew were rescued and ship repaired. A reward of 20,000 credits was promised for this job.


4/27/07 The first mission

Repaired the "Optimus" and escorted it to St. Augustin Fortress. Saved Marla (ship's camp follower) from a malfunctioning cryotank and received equivalent reward.
Stayed a few hours at St. Augustin and received free copies of the Bible, plus the promised $20,000 for the S&R job
Jumped to Nestor 1 and met with Argyle Phillippe to transport 3 small crates to Troy Station; crates delivered with $12,500 (50%) paid upfront
and appear to contain frozen fish, Aedil expresses distrust; scan conducted with Archeology kit reveals no bones/skeletons
Aedil & Gloval have dinner with Argyle and associates on planet, enjoy beaches & massages; Ules fruitlessly searches for railgun ammo & successfully gambles for $650
Orentes does some electronics shopping, finishes the upgrades to ship security and takes delivery of general ship parts
Arrived at Troy Station and passed customs without incident, manifest shows that we transferred fish from freighter on Glaucus; made delivery, but freak accident occurs
and spills one crate of fresh fish & crushed ice (Aedil searches for contraband to no result); quick thinking results in a fast resolution w/out discovery
Minor fracas breaks out between Aedil and Gloval due to Aedil's actions in the fish crisis (i.e., not helping and risking our job by searching, despite Gloval's orders)

And suddenly, a VOLCANO explodes!!!!!!!! (no, this isn't a joke); we received immediate clearance to evacuate employees and Lycurgan security from Core Inc. HQ
flying low towards the Spire we see it's at an odd angle and looks to be sinking; the atmosphere is nonexistant except for trace gases


5/04/07 The adventure continues

Made several trips to the volcanic surface to rescue listed personnel, close call with a rocket launcher; Lucius Pomponius- leader of Lycurgan contnigent we rescued personally
thanked us. Made an extra trip or two and as many of the mobbed and panicking citizens as we could, attempted to contact Aedil's people and were rebuffed
Flew out and jumped away to Nestor 1 after having done all we could, discovered a stowaway "Mike" on the trip. The crew took to him quickly, but was later disappointed when they
presented him to Argyle and Cpt. Gloval overheard that "Mike" was in fact part of a crime family.
After hosting us to dinner, we quickly took up Argyle on an offer to transport a case of pearls to Priam and left immediately. We were tracked and hailed by "Mike", who we quickly
lost through our stealth capabilities, then jumped away to Priam. The transaction took place without incident and the crew split up to pursue various interests. Gloval sparred a
bit at a gentlemen's club, Aedil researched at a library and Ules set up a poker showdown on Diomedes.
The ship jumps on over and we all meet up at a bar for Ules' showdown. A contact of Ules' is also set to work looking for some ammo for the ship.
Ules shows up late at the bar and absolutely nothing happens. He later reveals he chilled with a secret club of psychonavigators. The ammo comes through and the Golden Fleece is
ready for action again.
