Honorbound Emissaries

You are hastily summoned to the Lorespire Complex by Venture-Captain Arvin. For now, the venture captain appears to be attending to business outside of his office, giving you time to converse among yourselves and to get to know one another.

The diminutive ysoki, Tchisk, hurries to make the meeting with the Venture-Captain only to find him preoccupied. Rather than interrrupting, he takes stock in his gear. "You ever get the feeling that you've left something important?" He says to no one in particular.

A gangling humanoid with overly long arms and legs enters the office. He has expressive, black eyes and lacks a nose. His skin looks as soft and damp as an eel's. He wears a Steward's cadet uniform.

"Sometimes," he answers the ysoki in accented Common. "My name is Laniakea. Are we early?"

As somewhat musty ysoki enters the room. He wears a green jacket with brass buttons and black cap, dust and soot cover both. Across his back is a pristine rifle kept in immaculate condition.

"Name's Flint. Rifleman."

A chair at the conference table spins around, revealing a somewhat elderly ysoki with reddish fur, highlighted with hints of blonde and pure white. He is dressed in robes of red with a distinctive emblem--a stylized version of the sun.

"Greetings, most honored ones." the ysoki says, not bothering to rise out of the chair. "I am Hamato Yoski," he says with a nod of respect, "Though those seeking to learn more of the dance of the stars often refer to me as Master Filament."

Tchisk looks around at the gathered individuals, "We are something of an eclectic mix. I wonder what the venture captain would have of us?"

A ysoki that you didn't know was there climbs out from under the table. He bends over the table, looking at it closely as he runs his hands over it. "Wow, real, genuine teak wood! And look at the finish! And the trim! This is very good work."

He stands up, walks over to the sliding metal office door and examines it. "Hmmm... Aluminum. Economical but not my first choice. At least the frames are solid," he says while he firmly bangs the door frame with a fist.

He then move over to look at the office windows, not out the windows. "Ahhhh.... Transparent aluminum. Okay, this use of aluminum I fully approve of..."

This preoccupied ysoki turns around and acknowledges everyone else in the room for the first time. "Oh heya everybody! Sorry, don't mind me. Was just checking out the construction." He offers his hand to the nearest party member, saying "My name's Kaiole, general contractor. Safety first, I always say! But no, I'm not the safety guy... I know nothing about the safety regulations aside from when you should be wearing a hardhat. No, I'm the guy they call in after there's been a safety incident!

And I'll do my best to keep you all in one piece during our upcoming mission!"

"An interesting mix, to be sure." Master Filament affirms. "Whatever the Venture-Captain has for us to do, it would appear not to be as urgent as I was initially led to believe, given his absence at the moment. No matter, the stars are nothing if not patient. And pull of the gravity changes one's very peeception of time itself."

The elderly ysoki turns to Kalole. "You seem most curious about the composition of things. Yet, are you not aware that the heavier molecules that compose the items before you, indeed each of us, were all fashioned either within the core of a star or upon it's death by supernova? In this way, despite our differences, we and the objects in this room are each products of the stars."

Kaiole blinks.

"Uhhhh... right. Hey mister, so long as you're willing to pay the cost for time and materials, I'll construct whatever you want, built with whatever heavily moleculed material you wish, located wherever you like - so long as you are in compliance with any local zoning regulations."

Kaiole takes another look around the room and says, "Interesting... four ysoki in the room. Not often there are so many of us ysoki on the same mission..."

"Interesting, yes." Master Filament responds. "Though our kin are rather...," the wizened ysoki tries to find the right word, settling on, "prolific race I suppose."

A well dressed Ysoki enters the room. He wears well made clothing, including a AbadarCorp logo/Holy Symbol pin.

"Good day, my brethren! Have I missed the briefing?"

"I think I have a way that we can tackle the task ahead of us in a organized way that will make our lives easierm safer and enable us to meets the goals of the Society!"

He pulls numerous small pads of colored paper, and furiously starts writing on them.

"Well, perhaps this mission will require more finesse than those lumbering lizards can accommodate."

Just then, the door swishes open and a tall and confident lashunta man enters. He looks up from his data pad and gives a small start, "Ach! Not another infestation," he exclaims before recognizing the group before him as a pack of ysoki Starfinder agents. "Ah, my sincerest apologies. I mistook you for...it doesn't matter. Please, have a seat, all of you." He gestures to several functional chairs, inviting you to sit.

“Thank you for arriving so quickly, and my apologies for my tardiness. As I mentioned in my comm message, we have an urgent opportunity to recover some critical information.

“Several months ago, a crew of Starfinders took a ship called the Unbounded Wayfarer into the Vast to explore a series of uncharted planets. They never returned. Earlier today, a vesk pawnbroker in the Downlow neighborhood contacted us, offering to sell us several Starfinder insignias. These insignias belonged to the lost crew of the Unbounded Wayfarer, and that immediately caught the Society’s attention. The pawnbroker—named Julzakama—doesn’t realize the true value of the insignias. We negotiated a purchase price in exchange for the insignias and information about the seller. We hope this seller can lead us to the Unbounded Wayfarer and its crew.

“We’ve remotely transferred the requested credits to Julzakama. Now, we need you to collect the insignias and all the information you can from the vesk regarding whoever sold him the insignias, and then track down that seller. Learn where to find the Unbounded Wayfarer and its crew. I’m worried that the seller might not be on the station for long, so act quickly. If you have any questions, please make them fast.”

DC 12 Culture:
Julzakama is a domineering brute and that only the truly desperate deal with him. Further, he responds better to bluster than to honeyed words.

Master Filament looks over at Ningth's activities. I wonder what happens when he runs out of wall, the solarian ponders.

"Like a massive object in space," the elderly ysoki contemplates, "this Julzakama greedily tugs on those around him, pulling them into his orbit, until the other objects have no choice, but to strike him."

Turning to the Venture-Captain, he seeks to confirm, "You have directions to this pawnbroker's location, I trust?"

Flint nods. "I have my list of Vesk insults, but that may not be so threatening. Still I will help where I can. Shall we to the pawnbroker?"

"Directions are being uploaded to your comm units now," Arvin tabs the screen on his data pad, and a series of pings and haptic notifications go off around the room, signaling that you all have received the data. "Let me be clear, Julzakama is a brute, but we already have a deal with him. Violence shouldn't be necessary here. You'll just need to convince him not to try anything funny, as I'm sure he'll be inclined to do when he sees whom we have sent to collect our product." He snaps to attention and salutes your group, "Good luck, Starfinders. Be sure to find the one who returned these insignias to the Station, and we might still have a chance to rescue our compatriots from the Unbounded Wayfinder." With that, he dismisses you to your task.

Downlow is a poor and densely-populated section of the Spike that extends below Absalom Station. Julzakama’s shop is less than an hour from the Lorespire Complex, the headquarters of the Starfinder Society, and reaching the run-down store is fairly simple for you. Although some areas of Downlow are clean and trendy, this narrow alley of concrete and metal buildings drips with oil and sparking wires. A wide, red neon electric sign reads “Julzakama’s Loans” on a building sandwiched between a Kuthite sensation house and a derelict building covered with graffiti. The shop’s solid metal door contains a single, small window too grimy to peer through.

The interior of Julzakama’s Loans is crammed with shelves containing all manner of near-valueless items, from small appliances to VR game consoles and jars of colored powders. The shop has the acrid smell of a reptile house that has not been cleaned in months. A massive vesk in a muscle shirt stands at the rear of the shop, behind a low desk and a series of heavy metal bars anchored into the ceiling.

Julzakama is carelessly disassembling an old computer when you arrive, but he looks up when you enter his shop. "Well good day, to ya, little sok-lings," he says with the broad grin and sweet tone one might use to speak to children, "How can I help you?"

Before leaving, Ningth adds a card to the wall, and scans it with his comm unit. He shares a virtual version of the board with his compatriots, so now everyone has access to it on the infosphere.

You know how...yes, that's what I meant. Now I have to go, my vacation starts now. Just make sure Bill gets the files before the Freemarkets close. Bye." He shifts to sorting through text messages without looking up. "Sorry, day job gets the better of me sometimes. Work-life balance and all that. Anyway, got the text from the VC, I think I'm up to snuff."

Finally he glances up at the horde of ysoki. His face reddens, then he smiles somewhat sheepishly. "Well, I'm glad we all see eye-to-eye at least. Also happy I'm not allergic."

He then cranes his neck to look up to the towering vesk, but flashes him a disarming, unexpectedly confident smile. "You must be Julzakama. Lots of important business to attend to, we're just here for the Starfinder pickup. I had a look at your file on record, seems you have a knack for trying to pull a fast one on honest businesspeople. Well, don't kid a kidder; if you were half as good at fast ones as I am, you'd be working stocks with me instead of poking around the Downlow. So what do you have for us? Make sure it's worth our time, I think we'd both hate for us to have come down here for a messenger gig.

As the others approach the vesk, Master Filament seems to wander down one of the shop's short aisles. He picks up a jar of colored powder and gives it a sniff, surreptitiously keeping an eye on the progress of his comrades in the event that he deems fit to intervene.

Julzakama certainly seemed to regard your group with a degree of arrogance and superiority when you entered, but your words have shaken him significantly. The vesk scratches the scaly skin between his bony beardspikes with a clawed hand and says with a nervous laugh, “Seems I’m now fully paid for those trinkets there. I remember Arvin said something about wanting information, too, and I can do that...uh...sirs." He turns around and grabs a small box, which he slides beneath the bars on the counter. He then opens up a file on his comm unit, which he holo-projects onto the counter beside the small box for you.

“Ah, here ya go, little sirs; the seller was named Exegara, and she wasn’t from around here. Wore a flight suit, like she had come off a long trip. Once she had her money, she asked about where to purchase clean skeletons. I don’t carry goods like that, so I sent her to the Vat Garden.

"Oh, and she was definitely an Eoxian. She looked like a man-ling, but didn’t breathe or blink or anything. She also mentioned something about hiring some local muscle--'just in case,' she said." He shuts down the hologram, then, rubbing his hands together and bowing, he says, [b]"There, you've got the in

Culture DC 12:
Downlow’s Vat Garden was once a vast pool of bio-active substances that drained away decades ago. The residue in the pool still enhances the growth of biological organisms, and an enterprising ysoki family purchased the empty pool and turned it into a garden, selling fresh plants around Absalom Station.

Culture DC 17:
Demand exceeded their supply, so the family took in any sort of biological waste as mulch to grow their riotous tangle of plants. An open secret around Downlow is that the ysoki also act as a mortuary for the very poor: they take dead bodies for free as mulch for their plants. This side business is not technically illegal, and the ysoki cultivate good relations with local law enforcement for protection.

Master Filament places the powder that he was sniffing back on the shelf. As the holo-projector is running, the ysoki solarian approaches the vesk. He gives another sniff. Hmmmm. That vesk should really change his pants, the ysoki notes.

"I am well aware of this Vat Garden of which he speaks." Master Filament begins reciting. "Once a vast pool of bio-active substances that drained away decades ago, it has since been turned into a garden by some resourceful kin of ours. The residue in the pool still enhances the growth of biological organisms. I am told that their fresh produce is quite delightful." The wise man allows himself a rare smile.

"In addition to fresh plants, it is also a place for fresh corpses," he continues. "The family owners have been known to provide a... resting place for the bodies of those whose families cannot afford more... traditional means. In return, the bodies act as fertilizer for the plant-life there."

The ysoki now seems to stare off, at just what, it cannot be readily discerned. "It takes the death of a star to create the element carbon--the building block of all organic life. So the cycle continues. The death of one organic life-form providing the necessary nutrition to sustain another."

Tchisk continues to look at Julzkama with distaste. "Thank you for holding up to your end of the bargain. That was very big of you." After Master Filament speaks, he says "Ok. If that's it. I believe we're done here." Tchisk walks out.

"My sister, the botanist, says they have the best fertilizer down there. You should see the Castrovelian Orchids she is able to cultivate here."

While walking and talking, Flint takes his rifle and goes though a fairly routine weapon check. It is done almost without any notice on his own part, as just if he were scratching an itch.


Honorbound Emissaries

With your business at Julzakama's shop wrapped up, you decide to follow your intel to the ysoki-operated Vat Gardens. A few of you are knowledgable enough to know the way, but any wrong turns along the way are quickly corrected by any of the citizens of Downlow that you might ask for directions.

The station passageways open into an enormous sunken pool filled with a riotous growth of plants. A narrow walkway leading to other parts of Downlow encircles the overgrown vat, and a spire of some kind of machinery stands in its center. For such a busy section of Downlow, the area is surprisingly quiet. Two ladders and a steep staircase pierce the foliage and lead down into the vat.

As you approach, Flint and Dusty catch sight of the undead being called Exegara carefully digging through the soil of the gardens and pulling out as many clean bones as she can find. Her hired muscle stands around her, watching for anyone who might stop her, but apparently not paying very close attention, as they do not notice you.

"When the man asked the rain to withhold its falling trajectory so that he could remain dry, the rain nevertheless continued." Master Filament whispers to Kaiole in reply. "Only once the man raised his umbrella against the rain, was he able to keep dry as he had desired."

Taking a slightly cautious approach Flint moves over to the edge of the ledge and takes position. He readies to shoot the first target that attempts to attack or otherwise make any aggression towards our party

Kaiole whispers back, "Alrighty, attack it is...."

Kaiole casts mind thrust at Exegara, forcing visions of a living, breathing version of herself on her!!!

Mind Thrust Damage, DC15 Will for half: 2d10 ⇒ (6, 4) = 10

Kaiole then yells, "Give up or there's a lot more of where that came from!! We're small and grumpy, so don't test us!!!"
