 +//AbadarCorp is seeking brave souls to help in its exploration and research of Ceradonlay III, a planet discovered in the Vast.//
 +
 +That is the call followed by hundreds of souls looking for adventure and riches. This is the story of seven of them who never made it to Ceradonlay III as planned, but found themselves diverted by Hell itself. Now, marooned deep in the Vast, the group must use what little they have, their wits, and their luck to travel around an unnamed moon to a mysterious space bridge in the hopes there is technology there to build a ship and get home. Otherwise, this strange new world will be their new home forever.

-Arriving at Absalom Stationthe party was greeted with surprise and wonder. Abadarcorp rewarded them for the return of the first officer, Drakmar Givvens. There was also interviews and press, and payments for providing a great story. Over a year had passed since the team had left for the world of Ceradonlay III. Now they returned with a fantastic story and money in their pockets. Most of all, they team has bonded into a tight, effective unit.

-Closing on their final objective, the party swiftly dispatched the security robots in the Port Rotation and moved through the quarters inside. In the Captain’s quarters, they found another data pad, and the full story of the Belan. +
- +
-  * The Belan was setting up a He3 Station at the next Gas Giant when the plague erupted. It had already been out of physical contact for 10 months. +
-  * Plague appeared all over civilization, and appeared to have been dormant for some time, transmission might have been going on for over a year +
-  * Infected people could get symptoms at any time +
-    * Symptoms were increased aggression and violence (28 days sort of thing) +
-    * Exposure to others in active stage made activation more likely +
-    * Working on a cure seems to accelerate things very much as well +
-  * Belan came back to take on samples and infected individuals and work on a cure +
-    * Plague was created to adapt to beings with nervous systems +
-    * Magical component +
-    * High degree of biological tech, more advanced than what players have seen +
-  * Could not transmit Cure because somethings on the station took off their human body suits and shut down the portal and attacked the station +
-  * Activated computer virus which they had already transmitted, effectively killing the Belan and erasing its records +
-    * Doctors had backups which could be recovered in med labs +
-    * Samples and bodies in med labs +
-  * Captain seeing his race’s last hope stolen by alien monsters lost it, and swore an oath to avenge his race, even in death. He committed a ritual suicide with the help of the ship’s priest, turning to their darker gods. +
-    * Not known what, if any gods responded +
-    * However, as crew died, they turned into undead, mostly skeletons, the Captain is a Lich, his priest a Ghost sealed in a room with holy symbols by crew who sacrificed themselves. +
-  * Moving on from there, they overwhelmed more technozombies in the dining hall, and moved aft to the Priest’s quarters and found the seal needed to unlock the pathway to Engineering. Spending a day to recover, the party learned that the object headed towards Hexama was both guided and escorted. +
- +
-Moving into Engineering, the party encountered the Captain and told him his race was not dead, but under threat. The Captain bid them depart and sent fuel to them telekinetically. As they fueled the Tug, the Belan moved away under arcane power tied to the negative plane. The group returned to Hexama. +
- +
-On the way, Zurbaz and Vashur prepped the supplies for install on the Dawn Chaser. They had the whole party practice installations. On arrival, slowed by the ring, they immediately completed the ship and launched to take on the intruders. +

-=== The Final Battle === +
- +
-Racing across the system, the Dawn Chaser was faster than anything flown in the system before. Scanning the threat, Harmony was able to commune and divine they were MI-Go. The great KEW was powered by attached thrusters. It was escorted by four organic fighters and a ship similar in size to the Dawn Chaser. In a blazing fight, with many near misses, the party was able to blow the Mi-Go ship apart, cutting it in two with its Coil Gun. The remaining fighters were easy to dispatch. While the Dawn Chaser was hurt, no critical systems were damaged. As it retreated from the KEW, the Belan came onto the scanners and streaked towards the KEW. It collided and created a mighty implosion, ripping space and time, and utterly destroying the Mi-Go weapon. +
- +
-The group returned to Hexama to a hero’s welcome. They spent three more weeks repairing their ship and helping to establish the He3 factory. The Hexamen asked that the party not tell the Pact Worlds their location, lest they be overwhelmed before they were ready. Bidding a fond farewell, they left the system, and half a day later, appeared outside Absalom Station. +

-Data Pad Contents: The datapad is the personal log of the First Officer for his last entry. It shows him making his last recording. +

-I cannot believe it has come to this. To find the cure and then to watch it all fall apart. I watched as that thing erupted form Dr. Urial on the screen. It killed the whole room and shut down the portal! Even if we can get the ship’s computers back in operation after the virus attack, we cannot save anyone. I can only hope they find a cure back on Vigal (their homeworld). +
- +
-Captain Zialkan has gone mad. He and Chaplin Giatar are planning a horrible ritual. Enough of the crew of following him I cannot stop them. I have blocked of the Command Center and Bridge, but will it keep us safe? Is this the end of us all? +
-</WRAP> +
- +
- +
-Having regrouped and refreshed, party chose to go in to the Starboard rotational section. They found it was under Gravity and while the spin was disturbing and some of them got nauseated they could adjust. +
- +
-The group, Explored the Sick Bay where they found three Corpses in isolation wards, all plague victims. shadow of one of them was trapped in the ward, and they a released and dissipated. it They looted medical supplies I moved on to the labs. Here they found a data pad that recorded there was a cure, and that it was growing in berries in the garden. Hoping it was still there, the group hurried through the rest of the labs. +
- +
-They headed into the Garden, following the path. Ad they moved past the fountain they were beset by tendril shaped water elementals that nearly killed Vashur in an attack. They fought back, and managed to kill all but one of the five water Elementals, with the last fleeing downstream. +
- +
-They retreated out of the garden to recover. +
- +
-Advancing again, a black corpse fiend surprised them. Immediately they begin firing, but it let out fire from its eyes and randomly teleported several of the party members and leaving only Harmony and Zurbaz untouched. Shellen only when a short distance away, however and was fast back in the fight. Rin was teleported back out of the Hydroponics Garden entirely. Danora and Vashur into the forest and Kento landed on the path within sight of what they were looking for but were now trees not bushes. +
- +
-Vashur vaulted out of the river avoiding the water Elemental and charged back down the path towards the Crypt scenes. Kento ran all the way back to engage the Crypt fiend across the path. Danora was beset a giant Birds defending their nest. Rin re-entered the garden and helped get Danora away from the birds while the other is dealt with the Crypt fiend. while they seemed on the verge of victory, the crypt fiend disappeared, teleporting away. The party delt with the remaining water Elemental on the way out and went to explore the cargo tube for the starboard section. +
-==== Episode 7: Spaceship in the Dark II ==== +
-{{ :game_systems:starfinder:corpse-1-950x950.jpg?direct |}} +
-Zurbaz floated into the room to the ceiling taking a position to fire the advancing skeletons. Harmony things are balls being thrown in sure up into the tunnel the two of them were then in the room. This began grenades featuring Successful by Vashur in the beginning shooting Zurbaz passageway being blocked it was difficult for anyone to get into the room seed of acrobatics Kento was able to get in and begin fighting. Rest of the team except for Danora into the room. During the fight, there are several uses of grenades most of which resulted in grenades bouncing around the room and exploding doing damage not just in the skeletons but to members of the party. After Vashur took several bad hits from concentrated fire, Harmony healed him and was shot at by every skeleton except the one engaged in hand-to-hand with Kento. Nearly dead, Harmony retreated below followed by the rest of the team who managed to take out two more skeletons on the way. Shellen shut the door as Vashur ran his bone mantis sword in the door-wheel into place. +
- +
-Taking a few minutes, the team worked to recover, and the banging at the door above ceased after 5 minutes. Zurbaz use the acceleration couches to create a barricade. Vashur set up every frag grenade he had so that when the door would be open the grenade should be tossed to the top of the door. He ripped free the sword and the remaining skeletons caught in the blast of the frag grenades slaying all but 4. Those 4 came into the room. Already damaged from the previous fighting, Danora nearly killed them with Cone of Fire. The team easily dealt with the remaining and retreated to the tug to rest and recuperate. +
- +
-They found the docking clamps were mangled and the tug would not take off. While the team recuperated for two days with Harmony recovering spells and healing, Zurbaz assembled 2 drones out of leftover drone material to explore. +
- +
-Ready to move forward after recovering the next room, the Command Deck and found nothing and moved into it moving the Drone into the lower bridge, which housed another corpse. It did not respond to the presence of the drone at all. It did respond when Kento have went into the room, and it begin attacking. Simultaneously auto defense cannons begin firing in both rooms. Danora fled to the Command Deck. Vashur worked on the laser cannons on the lower floor, while Zurbaz took out the two laser cannons for the floor with the corpse. Kento fought defensivly against the corpse, which oddly, which fought poorly. With Kento on the verge of defeat, the Corpse switched targets to attack Vashur and was defeated. As it died it said, “At last”, to which the group felt it must have been fighting under compulsion. +
- +
-The team determined that this was the undead body of the ship’s first officer. In addition to the weapons they had looted from these levels perhaps the greatest find was an intact datapad on the body of the first officer. +
- +
-On the bridge or two people hands clasped wrapped around their arms regular Corpses lot Undead. +
- +
-The party again retreated to the tug to rest and recuperate. Zurbaz confirmed that not only were the docking clamps damaged he directed to the engines getting sucked away. In order to leave group will have to unlock the secret of the Spaceship in the Dark. +

-The team’s detection of a Derelict craft excites them. However, is in an orbit three weeks away. The ship is the Belan, a Frontier Class ship, designed to be both built on site with constructed materials and items from home (all 10’ diameter or less). +
- +
-Why go? +
- +
-  * Ship taken apart, would have more than enough salvage to complete their ship and leave the system +
-  * Mystery of what happened +
-  * Tug has booster and long-range living pod that attach in the cargo section and big engine +
-  * Attachable inflated fuel tanks +
-  * Outer ring of station has rail launch system to spin up to speed and get slung off at high velocity. Will take 10 hours at 1 G (maximum it will run) +
-  * Has enough fuel to complete trip and come back, but no more. +
- +
-The team used the booster pod and flew out to intercept the ship. As they drew closer the team noticed upon approach it’s not heat emanating from the fusion reactors, yet the ship still seemed to have power. In certain areas, it was hot, in others cold. mystic energy seemed to be emanating from the ship. +
- +
-The cargo bay doors were open, and in the area for the ship’s tug was clear, allowing them to land and dock within the ship. Harmony made a very hard Landing but seemed to avoid damage. Moving to the cargo hold, the team noticed most of the internal drone base was empty and what was left with in pieces due to long term radiation exposure. They made their way to the repair Bay where they were attacked by the same security bots as on the station. +
- +
-The robots able to use their magical Darkness to confuse the group but they were able to defeat them too much trouble parts and repair Bay versus efficient complete the electronics of their spaceship and time to restore them into their spaceship under the tug. +
- +
-Moving into the central connecting area, they countered several techno-zombies. They fought, with some damage before being able to overwhelm them. The team noted the ship was powered and had life support in that section, though no one dared remove his helmet. +
- +
-Moving towards the Command Deck they passed through the room of empty acceleration couches. Above that does the main Command Deck. Zurbaz went first followed by Vashur. As he poked his head and, Zurbaz saw that all 11 stations had skeletons. They took notice of him and started out from their stations. Zurbaz started to talk about it, but Vashur was impatient and pushed him through into the room as the undead arose. . . +

-Zurbaz notes they need more lithium, selenium, and titanium to complete their ship and further repairs of the space station. Harmony is on Hexama, recruiting new Hexamen into a whole new way of life. The rest of the group lands the tug at the bottom of a steep plateau to investigate an old lithium mine. As they go up the old road, they are forced to bridge a washed-out gap. Immediately on the other side, they are confronted with a giant creature, not unlike a Mountain Eel from Castroval. It seized Shellen in its jaws and threw him away, almost killing him. With no healer present, the group fought a desperate battle to defeat the foe. After several more devastating attacks on the party, the giant beast fled, wounded. 
  
-The group secured the site, chasing away many Bone Mantis with their tug, and engaged the locals in restarting the operation, after they worked on the road. Setting their sites on titanium, they flew to a nearby asteroid in the trojan orbit of Rhodal. There they docked and cut their way into the old mine. Shortly after entering, Danora identified Akata cocoons. The group moved back and held an intersection against the monsters. Rin was infected by a bite during the fight, but the group managed to kill the creatures and destroy the remaining cocoons. Kento flew Rin back to Harmony for treatment, while the rest prepped the mine to obtain titanium. They also found a corpse of a similar creature to on the moon, suggesting the eel-like beings are not necessarily native to Hexama but the Rhodal moon system.
