THE STORY SO FAR Well Allandra has finally made it one last run and she'll be a legitimate business woman. Well at least they paid for security this trip, though the death fixation he/she/it has is a little creepy. At least its an easy job out on the rim well away from all the issues, and comments at the core ship ports. Allandra still remembers how many times conversations have stopped when she walked in. They wonder why they say you never leave the life style. One Run and the loan from the family will be paid off... It's been a long haul, 6 months to be exact. Since that nuclear explosion went off knocking out the beacon and stranding us adrift in hyperspace thankfully your crew Captain Remmington have managed to get the engines back online at least you can point the ship in a direction and Hopefully find a subspace radio signal thats man made. “Everything's ship shape and we have full control captain” he doesn;t say it but it's clear the strains taken it's toll on your 2IC. (second in command) as well as the rest of the crew. Supply's are low people are falling apart. If something does'nt change... “Captain a signal.. and i cant believe it it sounds human” Captain Remington “put it through to my com.. radio operator Smith”. Could it be!?! Hmm... sounds like a quarterly report, definitely military and coded. “get that signal decoded now! (damn i'm on edge to). Well its just a basic station status log well it's civilized and no video though but with out supply's and little fuel we dont have a choice.. Engines to max spool up the drive and track that signal... It's a hard life being an orphan on a back water station, Its worse when your a young female with limited resources. Well the “Lady” know's how to make money and though she's very aloof it's nice to have regular meals the works hard and she doesnt take guff from any one. Well now i'm of age and she's making me work on my back as well as cleaning.. If i can just save enough tips.. Well some if my friends and i can scavenge some stuff from that dead sector maybe just maybe we can buy our freedom and a ticket out. No one expected that sealed door to be holding back more rad zombies. Jesse died or absorbed in the first few seconds and the rest of us got rad burns. Bo's suit ruptured.. what a bad death. Damn the bitch for making it so hard to get money. The radiation seems to encompassed every fibre of my body.. Waking up in our squat all alone my suit feels restrictive as hell what.. whats happened to me.. *looks into the wash bucket my.. godd i'mm beautiful... It's a hard road. But the golden horde is successful as usual.by the time our unit managed to get close it was mop up duty. The slavers in the area have been taken down and theres just a few Larhold tribes to be hunted down and neutralized. The Free-hold got thier money worth. The Tri-galactic Military Services arent cheap but damn do we get the job done. Now if i can just track down where those shamans went and if i can just rescue the governors daughter i might just get a little extra out of this.. Titas and Pollo have my back..”what the hell “. Damn i dont think we'll be getting a bonus.. looks like they are doing a ritual of some kind..”lets take them Luc.locking down pylons”. Wait!! *brightflash.. damn i hate when magic does that...”keep firing”.. Growing Up an orphan in Ginger station wasnt so bad. Being an orphan with a penchant for Swords actually helped especially in down below. I found that if you wanted something you better be able to take it, Nevermind trying to keep it. Then meeting John smith and him teaching me all about the "Biz" he was a mentor and a friend when a a down on his luck stret tuff like me needed one. I dont really think i ever knew johns name and after him berating me about using my real name (Axel) I dont think i ever will. It seems John was doing one more run something about this briefcase and lots of bad people being after it, And others willing to pay top dollar for it. Epic Mess 1.: Starting with the Rigel system: There is (now was) A space station built on a asteroid. At one time it was a hub of commerce and activity, the station became a city on the fringe of the known worlds. Sadly those days have past. The main source of commerce was the huge asteroid belt There was 3 major resource mining company's the Rycle Corp.(they primarily deal in precious metals and produce mining equipment, Ships and station systems/stations. one in every three mining vehicles around was built by them), Kailiss Diversified, (Deals primarily in various common materials (basically anything they can liquidate quickly((potable soil copper lead iron etc..) And the Zahn corporation (A subsidiary of Zahn technologies (They deal primarily in crystals and unique elements as well noble gas's and such.)(( Zahn is most know for thier Ion and plasma weapons and most noticeably lately fro there laser communication systems ((though some would argue thier just reproducing lost tech from the automaton war a 1000 years ago.)). The Rygel system has been mined out.. meaning there is not enough resource rich asteroids left to warrant the maintenance cost to keep a asteroid mining ship in the system, the last one left the system 1 day before the first bug incursion (100 years ago). This was the a starting point for most of the party (well where most of them started as player ((they are all from multiple parts of the megaverse)) The next Solar system that the party moved to (had to in fact). Is the Ginger system The main base of operations for the Zahn and Kailiss Corporations. The players are for now basing their shenanigans from Ginger station a moon sized hub of and trade port. Also the main base of operations for the Fed. Com. in this area (the tail end of a the galactic arm the players started in). will be edited/continued just got distracted lol
