Mission Recap (part 5)

Kray and Kashyr traveled aboard the Starliner for 15 days, and during their trip, they talked to various people aboard the ship. One of the people they talked to was a Krissethi loan shark looking for an Erwani with a bad gambling habit that owed him a lot of money. The characters later bumped into this Erwani, and tricked him to follow them to have drinks with "a friend." They promptly turned the Erwani over to the loan shark and in doing so, gained a contact they hoped to use later for information. What happened to the poor Erwani, though, seemed to not concern the players...



When the starliner finally arrived at Ourea, the characters noticed that the Starshine Foods crates were being unloaded and transferred to a Starshine Foods truck. They spoke with the workers and decided to follow them on their delivery route, using a car they borrowed from an Ourea Security officer. During the route, the truck broke down, and it was discovered that the recently-replaced drive belt had broken. The workers called in and a second truck was sent to pick up the goods and continue the route to keep the delivery schedule. The characters decided to set up an ambush inside the truck, suspecting that the second truck would be smugglers.



Yet when the truck arrived, the people unloading the truck appeared to simply be more Starshine Foods employees. The characters were getting frustrated, but were suspicious. Despite questioning the workers, nothing seemed suspicious--the workers were on a schedule to deliver the food, including the Kethsa eggs crates that the players knew contained the illegal Chiraktis eggs. The characters decided to follow the second delivery truck on its route. After only a few minutes on the road, however, they noticed two skimcars fast approaching from behind, and these cars were decked out with weapons!


The two skimcars closed quickly on the characters' skimcar and began shooting. The characters sped up to get closer to the Starshine Foods truck, but suddenly the truck's passengers--the supposed Starshine Foods employees--were leaning out the windows firing automatic weapons at the characters. When one of the skimcars fired a nano-flak canon, which created an obstacle right in front of the characters' car, the characters skidded and stopped their already badly-damaged vehicle and watched the truck speed away with one of the skimcars. The other skimcar stopped a distance away, waiting to see if the characters were going to try following. When they didn't, it eventually left them standing alone in the road with their smoking car.
