4952 Delcia

Edit:
Kandza finds... 2 techkit supplies. She does not need any, so she can give them to Sorrrack.

Nero finds... 4 medkit supplies.

You gather your salvage and board the Dawn Star. Yvonne, the ship's A.I. greets you. "Welcome back. I see you have found Mesec and Kandza. What about Yularia and Alex?"

Kandza chimes in. "Hello Yvonne. It's good to be back... Yularia is dead, killed by some strange hostile life-forms. As for Alex, he's still missing."

Sorrack tries to fix one of the damaged envirosuits. Checking things, he realize he needs to cannibalize components from 2 damaged suits to repair one. He takes a few dozen minutes trying to repair it, but sadly, his fixes doesn't seem to work. Perhaps it is the suit's alien design? Yes, that'll be his excuse... Still, sadly, this now all leaves you with only 2 good envirosuits, 2 damaged ones, and 2 scrapped ones which have now become useless...

Mesec makes his way towards the ship as Sorrack puts the finishing touches on the damaged envirosuit.

"Welcome back Mesec. I still see you have this strange habit of flirting with me despite the fact that I am an A.I. and cannot reciprocate affection. Where are the others? Are they well?"

"This is unfortunate news. All that is left to do now is pick up Gren and Dask who left with the ATVs. With the electromagnetic disturbances gone, I managed to pinpoint their location thanks to their transponders. They have not answered any of my hails, however. Also, we do not have an alcohol cabinet, though, I suspect you did smuggle some on board..."

Nero then chimes in.

"Oh yeah, about that... I believe this is yours..."

He then hands Mesec a flask of Yarr Brandy. The flask is half-empty now...

"Yes."

Following Yvonne's instructions, you make your way to Gren's and Dasks' coordinates, sadly to find them dead, obviously attacked by the same critters which made your lives miserables those past days. Their equipment has also been partially melted, meaning there is nothing worth salvaging. The FNS will be upset at having lost so many personnel and equipment on what was supposed to be a routine survey expedition...

You eventually leave orbit, refuel at a nearby gas giant, taxi to the system's FTL horizon, and then set course for the Daegon sector in the Galactic Federation 12 Light Years away (so 12 days of travel with the Dawn Star's FTL drive of 1 LY per day, leaving you plenty of tie to heal).

Once on Daegon, the FNS will pay you 2 days wages at your current pay grade (yes, even Mesec who was out for months; his pay came with a pink slip from the offices in the Firestar system. Seems like old enemies have managed to stiff Mesec on his pay and fire him, holding him solely responsible for the events which happened on Delcia, after all he did smuggled alcohol on board... Obviously an intimidation tactic so he won't sue for missing pay... Seems like nothing is holding you back from adventuring with those who rescued you now.). The FNS will also be interested in purchassing any alien artefact you're willing to part with at the following rates:
Working Enviro Suits: 500© each.
Working Data Wafers: 800© each.
Alien Kit Provisions: 50© each.
Working Magnetic Clamps: 500© each.
Rock Samples: 20© each (half that for the damaged one).
Alien Kitchen Knives: 25© each.
Alien Carriers: 10© each.
Alien Medical Robot: 500©
Alien Servers Memory cores: 800©

Edit: Oh yeah, almost forgot, this is the end of another session, so DP time. (I think I can skip Nero and Sorrack for this...)
Everyone gains a base of 4 DPs.
Masecs gains another 2 DPs for personal stake and roleplaying.
Regain any spent Destiny.
(Sam, you're still missing a descriptor btw.)

Hmm, okay, I guess I should keep track of what the NPCs have and are willing to sell...

Kandza has all the data wafers, 3 with data, 1 blank, and 1 corrupted, so that would be 2400© right there.

I guess Nero could depart with his alien chef knife and magnetic clamp, so that's another 525@. (there were 5 knives and 4 players, did you gave the last one to Kandza?)

Okay, found the place where the party found the alien knives. It starts here, and you can scroll down from there. 5 knives were found, and by the looks of things, everyone has one, inclusing Kandza, I guess, so she could add her own knife to the stash of stuff sold to the FNS.

So you're up to an extra 3500© earned so far. Anyone else selling something else?

Okay, well it's been about a week, nobody else has chimed in, so I'm assuming the rest of you are keeping the knives, the rock samples, the carriers, the memory cores, the enviro-suits, and the medical robot. That means that Nero, Sorrack, Sam, and Mesec gain an extra 875© on top of being paid for their two-days mission (at rank 0, your pay grade is 300© per day, so another 600© there if you did not had already noted those...).

If you want to spend those DPs to improve your characters, now the time. The rules for character development start on p.95. Do not forget that in this version of the rules, you need to spend © to improve your character as it is implied you hire a trainer or buy or rent some one-time instruction program or something... Also do not forget that any spent DP turn into Renown (yes Antiproduct, the more DP you had, the more famous you become...) as FS has a sort of "level Up" system (see p.97).

If you have any question about improving your character, do not hesitate to ask.
