The Goyermontakon Confederacy’s Epsilon is currently being heavily renovated with classified tech. Kappa, recently purchased by the High Council, mostly relies on antimatter systems: the Highs don’t care about the cost. The Legion’s eight militarised Worldcarriers are a class of their own: their famous Grandcruisers, with multiple HH-fusion generators and weapons batteries to make the most of the electrical output. And it’s said that Worldcarrier Nu, rarely seen and rumoured to be under Paleon control, has a phase unit so advanced that it powers all its subsidiary systems.
Sigma... doesn’t.
A mishmash of ancient wonders and radiation-spewing deathtraps from shortly after the Conglomerate’s collapse, Sigma suffers from the same limitations as other Worldcarriers based off Schismatic relics: the phasedrive is a largely self-sufficient unit, but the miles upon miles of cargo bays and habitation decks are not.
Sigma isn’t the most inefficient of the Worldcarriers, nor is it the most dangerous. But its control decks are largely automated, with vast areas completely off-limits to crew. Even on the outskirts, the deuterium-tritium power core is mostly serviced by cyborgs and Kerenth, to whom the occasional radiation leak is a manageable emergency and not instantly fatal.
A quarter of the ship’s bulk is dedicated to the control decks, situated amidst the vast generators and the famous phasedrive itself: power, utilities, navigation, and the computers responsible for putting the commanders’ orders into action.
This is where the team comes in. Sigma has to replace its reactor’s radiation shielding regularly: huge hydrocarbon slabs, as a DT-fusion generator’s neutron output is hard to contain with mere electromagnetic fields.
Using the scheduled replacement of this shielding as a cover, the team has been hired to enter the restricted area and upload a virus direct to the primary control system: a virus that will unlock all the cargo bays and allow your clients to bleed Sigma dry, having their pick of the deliveries bound for the planet Camblyr.
And for playing their parts in this heist, Kree, Nerves and Dr. Zephyr will be walking away with 1.5 million each in hard currency.
The Bane docks successfully. Your client came through: the authorities didn’t quibble over your clearance. The rest is up to you.
