 Viktor gathers the group together in their suits at KDV. They have decided that staying at the Highport is the best option moving forward, just in case there is any blowback from LSP. This did not make it any harder for Captain Orvelle of Military Intelligence to contact Viktor and assure him that KDV was in the clear, and this his organization was managing things. He also asked Viktor for a small favor.  Viktor gathers the group together in their suits at KDV.

 It is known that the survey team boarded the steamer, which began to cross the lake when it was fired upon and badly holed. According to reports, the rebels ceased fire when it became apparent the steamer was not a government vessel but a non-combatant, although other sources say it was pounded into scrap. It seems that the steamer made some progress down the lake before suffering rapid structural failure and sinking with great loss of life. The survey team went down with the ship. It is known that the survey team boarded the steamer, which began to cross the lake when it was fired upon and badly holed.

-If the Crew can enter the sunken wreck and bring up the survey team’s records and instruments, they will receive full payment. An additional Cr10000 is payable for the bodies of the five-strong survey team if they can be recovered and preserved in some way. The precise location of the wreck is worth Cr100000 but no other outcomes are considered a success. Sternmetal’s representative does not say but the firm wants proof that the rebels killed their team, just in case it proves useful in future negotiations.+If the Crew can enter the sunken wreck and bring up the survey team’s records and instruments, they will receive full payment.

 Sternmetal Horizons arranges for the Crew to be conveyed to Hazel aboard a scheduled passenger ship and for suitable cover stories to allay suspicions. They will have to get from the starport to the lake using their own resources, although that should not be difficult. It is quite common for tourists to rent boats to see the sights, although there are restrictions regarding destinations.  Sternmetal Horizons arranges for the Crew to be conveyed to Hazel aboard a scheduled passenger ship and for suitable cover stories to allay suspicions.

 Once clear of the starport, the Crew will receive a package drop containing any equipment they chose not to carry through starport customs. Hazel has Law Level 7, so the Crew will not be permitted to bring in guns through the starport. Diving equipment would not provoke suspicion if the Crew seem like the types who enjoy underwater exploration, or it could be dropped outside the city. The drop will be made by a free trader crew who have been paid well to kick a bunch of crates on one-use grav landing units out of their airlock and then depart the system. No backup will be available after this point. Once clear of the starport, the Crew will receive a package drop containing any equipment they chose not to carry through starport customs.

 //”Again?!”// says Hanson as she is escorted in cuffs out of the building. Viktor calls after her, //”Don’t say anything to them!”// Galen immediately scours the local city and startown for a lawyer and hits the jackpot. A Cr3000 fee later, and Sharri is once again free.  //”Again?!”// says Hanson as she is escorted in cuffs out of the building.

-The bodies are loaded into the train and the whole crew heads back to the downport and books travel on the first ship leaving, an A2 type Far Trader. It is another week to get back to Trin. +The bodies are loaded into the train and the whole crew heads back to the downport and books travel on the first ship leaving in a few days, the same one running the route that brought them.

 +|Campaign Dates|1099, 251-262|

 +After their return, Sternmetal Horizons and Captain Orvelle are delighted and pay the crew. More importantly, the //Starlight Drifter// is completed. Avin Kestrel has a surprise for them. Using the smuggled parts of the prototype, he has been able to install the advanced control systems to allow the //Drifter// to have two quad turrets. This allows it to have their salvaged particle beams on top, and missiles on bottom. Each turret then has one of the beam lasers and sand casters, so each can be used for offense or defense.  
 + 
 +The crew is delighted and accepts Kestrel’s offer to run a simulator session where they test their new ship out. Things go well until they allow the simulated ship to get too close and find themselves being taken apart. It is a vital lesson for the crew.  
 + 
 +With that lessen taken in, Sharri begins looking for contracts for their next mission. Crew starts their last moment shopping. The next adventure awaits!
  
 +End Season 2.
