-Four days into the journey, Richmond wakes up violently ill. Gwith’in comes to bring medical care and gets Richmond into the autodoc for treatment. It seems he must have managed to contract something at Aki that is rather serious. The Ancient’s autodoc is able to get him on the road to recovery.

 After Rusty gets them checked in on the aging computer, he tells them that Respis is a village about 50 klicks inland on this island.

-The group opts to take the air/raft to the town. They load up some weapons. Maria packs her full combat suit in addition. They fly out the distance to Respis, moving far faster than is normal for an aircraft on this world.  +The group opts to take the air/raft to the town. Richmond says he will stay behind.

 They land and head for the local general store/bar. All eyes turn on the vacc suit wearing strangers shaking off the snow. After some initial uneasy questions, they order drinks and converse with the locals. Only “Dreya” would be interested in seeing offworlders. After a pleasant few minutes, the group leaves to go to the old structure that is “Dreya’s” home. The maintenance structure looks the same as it always did but it has been heavily modified with materials quietly brought in by Mercedes over the years. The floor and walls are reinforced with military-grade ceramic/metal alloy plate; lightweight but extremely tough. This was mainly for strength and insulation but it has had the side effect of making the upper part of the structure more or less bulletproof. It is clear this is no long a fully native structure.  They land and head for the local general store/bar. All eyes turn on the vacc suit wearing strangers shaking off the snow.

-While Mercedes packs and prepares to leave, the heroes return to the downport. It is now late into the night, or early in the morning, take your pick. Lucas rouses Rusty, who is unhappy about it. He grows less groggy when Lucas both tells him about the train, and that he can expect Imperial agents showing up at some point looking for their “friend” who is leaving. Rusty grabs the phone can rouses more unhappy men to immediately head up the line, help Mercedes move and get that train back to them. +While Mercedes packs and prepares to leave, the heroes return to the downport.

 +//"I appreciate getting picked up. I was in a fix. You guys are into some really heavy things. I, uh, really wanted to retire. Being a farmer was not for me. However, I can sail, and I know how to fight. I've already talked with Rusty and I have a job lined up. I've got my things already off the ship. Good luck. And thank you."//

-A ship emerged close from jumpspace near Pagaton. Two launches loaded with Delvin’s Combateers head towards the planet. little. Omicron hired a group of mercenaries to do the dirty work and sent them to Pagaton. They have been ordered to pick up a Potential Threat/Asset named “Dreya Elinnier” using whatever means may be necessary and to consider bystanders expendable. This is a standard order whenever Omicron Division feels it needs to use force but the actions taken are usually kept within sensible limits. Omicron Division is well aware that causing mayhem has long-term consequences and much prefers a clean ‘pinch’ or to get someone to cooperate either by coercion or incentives. However, in this case the Division was pushed for time and short of options, so it hired a ‘direct action detachment’ from a mercenary group named Delvin’s Combateers. These personnel are not well disciplined and enjoy chaos so long as they are not in much danger. In short, they are a bunch of trigger happy yahoos serving for thrills as much as money.//+//A ship emerged close from jumpspace near Pagaton.

 //The launches both rapidly moved towards Respis, their deadly cargo itching to get into a fight. They ignored the hails from the downport, as just some local with a strange Imperial accent. The Combateers had their marching orders. Both launches closed on Respis, closing to within 1km before they blossomed into balls of fire.// //The launches both rapidly moved towards Respis, their deadly cargo itching to get into a fight.
