Session Notes:

The session began just after the Dog jumped in-system. Their inbound eta to Berertovsk colony was 4 hours. En route, they used passive scanners to search for the Raven. Mr. Misu's skill with sensors enabled them to not only spot the Raven, but also to note that its auxiliary craft had launched. Shortly after that launch, the boat disappeared, apparently after activating some sort of cloak.

 

After about an hour, the Raven docked with Berertovsk Highport. They decided to follow the Raven into the station. A vessel like the Dog has little legitimate business in a corporate owned system such as this. They chose resupply as their ostensible purpose.

 

Once docked, Mr. Misu was able to use his superlative hacking skills to obtain security feed of the Raven's docking bay. Station security prevented most weapons and armor, which included placing a “blocker” in the cell-port of Hallgrim's plasma weapon. Irving had more luck smuggling in a couple of minor weapons along with a slew of drugs.

 

Once inside, they tracked one member of the Raven's crew who had left the vessel. They identified her as Kae Akaki, the ship's engineer. She went to an odd place called Kenjak's Ladel, which server many types of soup as well as liquor. Ms. Akaki went to the bar and began drinking.

 

The party took turns watching her from the inside, while the rest lurked in an indoor park which provided a decent view of the entrance to Kenjak's Ladel. After 3 hours, Halgrimm decided to approach her.

 

Halgrimm tried a series of terrible pick-up lines which seemed somehow increasingly endearing to her. They shared a couple of drinks, and a handful of even worse lines, before she asked Halgrimm back to her ship. As a show of being tough, he removed the “blocker” on his cell-port and replaced the cell once they had passed through security.

 

Halgrimm then endured what he considered to be somewhat unpleasant sex; Kae seemed satisfied, however. Afterward she fell asleep. He drugged her to ensure she remained that way. He then scoped out what appeared to be the main living area, where he found a room with 4 nano-stasis chambers. He dragged Kae to one and put her into stasis.

 

He then found a trio of doors. The center, he reasoned, was the access port to the bridge. After trying the single button without success, he decided to blast a hole in it. Very shortly thereafter, a bot came to repair the damages.

 

Meanwhile, the crew of the Dog headed to the Raven. They breezed through security and decided to take the ship. After a brief battle – in which they disabled two heavy combat robots and removing the ship's AI physically – they had the ship. Without hesitation, they took off.

 

As they debated whether or not to go after the crew, the aux craft hailed them – it was returning from “a successful mission.”

That is where the session ended.
