Proud crew of The Wondering Star.
So it begins.
1st job to take a crate from Juno Station to Outpost 99. Taking the crate to the ship, the crew are attacked by a rival crew (Iron Suns) trying to take the crate. Fending them off they succeed on loading the crate and taking off from Juno Station.
Once in space they are attacked by a ship (iron Suns), who they manage to fight off. They manage to escape and make their jump to Saez System and Outpost 99 As they do strange transmissions start emanating from the crate, and start to get unknown data transmissions. The ship is glitching.
Upon reaching Outpost 99 they find the facility powered down to almost no power. They dock inside the open hangar of the cargo bay. A few moments later they are approached by dock workers. After an argument basically based on the point that they shouldn`t be there even after explaining they have a crate destined for the outpost, a fire fight ensures. They fair ok but still have to rely on the weaponry onboard The Flyer. With a crate left on their hands and crates they can relinquish, containing, low tech, pretech, survival gear, medical, consumable and guns. They use a cargo droid the load onto The Wondering Star. They keep the droid and name it Carl.

You decide it would be better to go to the Planet Comercio Barendero for repairs. During the flight back to the planet which takes several days you open the crate to find out what you are carrying, you find inside a plexiglass box with wiring and lights inside.
Suddenly you become aware of system anomalies, Unit 777 has infected the ship. Unit 777 was in the crate. It introduces itself via strange communications you think are transmissions, old data.
You make your way to Holo Gen City on Comercio Barendero. A small city with a viable vehicle repair station. Landing you are greeted by Greta Cilly the owner operator. She has several repair droids at her disposal. You Leave the ship in her capable hands, to get the lie of the land. You don’t warn her about Unit 777.

You find a local watering hole with a very much Mexican vibe. This is were Thee Zlatan and Rock Slyp meet Lloyd and One Question Aked is formed 1QA. You look through the local Ads for work/contracts. Taking a job from a local fixer to transport cargo via land to a town several kilometres away. Enroute they are attacked by a local bike gang trying to stop them and obviously take the cargo. Foiling the would-be bandits, they continue and drop off the cargo. Returning to Holo Gen City and the fixer they ask for more work.

Mrs Cynthia Vuran a widowed older Lady from Carias, Tequilla manufacturing business and cactus plantation. Jingo Race Course Caldan Racing, six-legged horse like creatures. Zlatan and the snake skin wallet, Watchung the race having bets, Agarve and Purple Dream are the wining horses. Lloyd makes 20,000 credits. Mrs Vuran`s horse in the last race is shot, a gun muzzle flash is spotted several hundred meters away. Panic, everyone runs for the exit, the party protect Mrs Vuran and get her back to her limousine and make it back to her mansion, situated on a private estate “Smack my Bitch Up” playing on the car stereo, an old time classic, Thee Zlatan notices the car is being followed by a jeep type vehicle. As they turn into the gated grounds the jeep continues past. Getting Cynthia back safely Rock Slyp closes out the deal while Lloyd goes back to the gatehouse to look at the CCTV . He notes the ID of the jeep and works out the jeep was hired from the same garage as the garage the fixer works out of.

Armed with the photo on a data pad they return to the garage get an ID on the mysterious guys and vehicle. The chumps are bounty hunters from Black Star Guild or Crimson Fleet, but neither faction operate in this sector, so they have travelled here specifically for 1QA. Possibly after the AI, that has now embedded itself in the ship systems.
You drive out of town in the hope of luring them out. Heading into a place called Gaesh(gash) the only structure in an old gas station (gas in the Gaesh), in a Canyon. You set a trap with a few grenades and a trip wire before lying in wait. The chumps fall for it and two are blown to bits before a quick gun battle which ends with the crew of The Wondering Star being victorious

You return to the repair hangar to find out if the ship is ready. The ship is miraculously repaired quicker than expected, Greta comments on the fact that her repair droids are working more efficiently than normal, so record time on the repairs. Not wanting to hang around and not wanting to attract more hired goons, you head off planet. You leave Holo Gen City on Comercio Barendero and head to Saez System, planet Saez, just to refuel. During our space travels we are intercepted by a pirate ship who learn that there truly is no honour amongst thieves, after we disable their ship and leave them almost spaced we demand they part ways with their loot or face being blown to bits. The fools do as instructed netting us the below goods before we blow them to bits anyway for the lols.
$ Swag: (I have also put the price these later fetched at action on this list)
● 1 ton of medical supplies - 17,500
● 1 ton of pre-tech artifacts - 25,200
● 1 ton of consumer goods - 3,800
● 1 ton of old guns - 0 Donated to the Resistance on Thorhil (name most likely spelt
wrong)
● 1 ton of survival gear - 6,000
● TOTAL: 52,500 (45,000 after ‘port fees and paying dancers etc).
After this encounter we jump to the next Hex and set a course for Thorhil, a planet dominated by the Eos Dynamic corporation and plagued by fighting as the local planet resistance tries to push back against the oppressive corporation. What better place to sell off a load of liberated stolen goods.
