Episode 9: The Mystery of the Golden Lance Pt.3[]
Ash, Faye, Mika, William, Angelina, Charles, Loch, Warren and Phil enter the crashes ship
Rook meets with the crew from The Row who are heading out to explore The Golden Lance. He advices them not to involve anyone from Scrap Town, as they might get too opportunistic for their own good - especially if the core of the ship is in danger of going unstable. Something that could leave the surroundings in radioactive fallout. Ash, Faye, Mika, William, Angelina, Charles, Loch, Warren and Phil. Covered by a helmet Phil asks Rook if Loch has filled him in on his identity and asked that he keeps his daughter away from any Quixotes operations, having changed his allegiance to the corporation he assured that everything he does, he does for the people.
DM: The Golden Lance[]
Faye opens up the doors to enter and looking around the crew discovers corpses of past crewmembers of the ship. Phil senses that these people strangely welcomed their death, suffering something worse than death. A recording of someone suffering, begging for their pain to end verified his intuition. Scavenging they find abandoned supplies, datapads that need further study to reveal the value of their information. Some records tell of Sweepo's collecting skin samples and entering a door with a biohazard warning reveals a large sample container, cracked open with some green gook. While observing that the room is filled with some strange alien plantlike growths the crew is interrupted.
Leonard Kiani and a WOTO soldier take shots at the incoming party from The Row.
Not alone Leonard Kiani and Manyu All of the WOTO Corporation as well as several armed corporate guards are already in the chamber. Firing warning shots at first a gunfight ensues. Coming in from opposing sides another team approaches. It's the wastelanders from Scrap Towns own party. Pinning in the corporate group in the middle - they are outgunned from both sides and incapacitated. Gathering together the party from Scrap Town consists of Wit, Sheila, Scootz, Jorongo, Toolbox and Mercury.
Bandit raiders breach the hull of the ship fround ouside
Their gathering and win is cut short however as a large explosion echoes across the chamber and soon enough bandit raiders rush in from the wasteland, shouting, screaming and firing their weapons wildly.
The corps survive thanks to their nanomachine Lazarus program and emergency evac life insurance. The Row and Scrap Towners make it out but many are injured. They also exit using the corp shuttle, awkwardly ending up at WOTO corp HQ in the Upper City where they are detained. Toolbox is captured by the raiders but is later returned to Scrap Town by a group of pillbugs.
Rikky meets the ragtag raffle return in the WOTO shuttle, not the expected corporate soldiers.
DM: WOTO Capture and Thaddeus[]
Landing outside the WOTO Corporation HQ the injured survivors are greeted not-so-warmly by Rikky Raclette and a small armed escort. The corpo ratis had expected his own team to return but instead was faced with this mixed raffle. Thinking to dispose of them the only thing that stops him is spotting Warren and Loch among them, recognizing them from the fight in the Mars arena days ago as well as Warren's work for Quixote. In a mixed act of charity the injured are sent of to Nirvana for emergency medical care. While some are getting treatment others are detained for questioning on how they ended up there.
Thaddeus the "Sovereign"
Arcadum portraying the mysterious and powerful Thaddeus appears and aids (in a way) with Rikky and Goldmans questioning of the captives Mercury, Warren and Phil. Mercury being damaged is debugged and offers a detailed account of all the events that took place without any inhibition.
Thaddeus and Goldman interrogate Warren
Thaddeus makes a mixed impression at first but uses his powers to unravel some mystery as well as wins over Goldmans approval. Serving no further use Warren is released from custidy while Mercury is kept for further debriefing.[1]
