To the corpse fleet ghoul Handsome says, "So you ARE corpse fleet! Where is your ship and how are you getting back?"
If the corpse fleet ghoul won't say anything more or reveal additional info, I suggest we turn him over to Waneda.
Turning to Gretal, "So! You had something to report before these lowlifes broke into your home uninvited?"
| GM Friendly Sauce |
Turning to Gretal, "So! You had something to report before these lowlifes broke into your home uninvited?"
She already did report something, I just forgot to link it during the meeting with Waneda. The report is now viewable in the NPC's slide.
To the corpse fleet ghoul Handsome says, "So you ARE corpse fleet! Where is your ship and how are you getting back?"
"your guess is a good as mine. We were on leave so its was none of our business where the ship was heading."
| Xavier "Rover" Florin |
"Great so you were a lower-tier member of the Fleet." he says tapping his chin."I don't suppose you'd have any access codes to give u, maybe communications frequencies and what not?" he says looking at Gretal.

"You guys heard anything about this 'Cult of the Devourer'? I know it sounds like an Eoxian fast food chain... Maybe it is, I dunno... Point is, you want us to kill you now or turn you over to the authorities?"
"It absolutely will be once we're done, just to tick them off..."
| Handsome Gob |
"Perhaps if we can find a way to track Gretal's flatmate, Hairvine, then we can locate the corpse fleet in Orphys...
"Gretal, did Hairvine have any other friends or family whom she might have told where she's going?"

"We understand what you're feeling right now. That instant urge to cause harm. The premeditated thoughts of what you're going to do with the body. Do you eat it? Toss it out an airlock? Say you shot in self defense? But trust us. Even though those murderous feelings never truly go away, you can learn to control them. He mispronounces everyone's name like that."

Does Dreamz think the Corpse Fleet is luring us to a trap? The evidence seems suspiciously out in the open to me.
| Xavier "Rover" Florin |
"Yo' M12 look for a computer see what Gretal and whoever else lives here has been up to?" he says his weapon still out, ready if need be.
| DR34-M12 |
"Good call, there might also be more clues than diary pages left out." Dreamz responded, her circuits blue with suspicion.

It doesnt seem like this is a trap, more like a few renegade soldiers harassing a veteran.
Gretal once again expresses her thanks for your help, "I'm growing more and more concerned with the brewing Corpse Fleet activity in the area; I'm also not exactly excited that my trip to the Ministry of Eternal Vigilance has become such public knowledge. I just wanted to do right by my planets legitimate government and military; thats why I reported Harvinne in the first place." she says while heading to unlock Harvinne's room," I figured out the passcode long ago; but most recently I found this." she handsover a scrap of paper that appears to be from Harvinne's Journal.
upon examination you learn that Harvinne planned to meet with something called "The Marrowblight" before taking up her illicit commission in the Corpse Fleet.
You ecall that a marrowblight is a type of powerful undead creature
| Xavier "Rover" Florin |
"So it sucks stuff out of the bones?" Rover says confused as he looks at the ghoul.
"Do you know if he has done it yet or not?"
| Handsome Gob |
Any way to research where "The Marrowblight" may be found? Data sphere? Gathering info at a local bar?
If Gretal doesn't have any further details for us, Handsome will do the following...
Handsome marches the captured thug back to Waneda's office and says, "Heya!! We went to see Ghetto and saved him from gettin killed by three corpse fleet members! Two of em are now un-undead... But this guy here is living undead. He says he barely knows anything but you've got some kind of torture chamber in here right? Shall we toss him in there??
"Oh and Ghetto's live-in lover, Hairvine, ran off to join the Corpse Fleet. But before that, we discovered Hairvine went off to meet someone named 'The Marrowbone.' Any idea where we can find this Marrowbone character?"
| GM Friendly Sauce |
"I dont know of any Marrowblight's that are locally associated with the Corpse Fleet, but if you going after one I'd be careful; they're not as easy pickings as a couple of ghouls." Gretal says before you leave, "I was hanging onto this as a souvenir of my time in the service, Honestly though, I have no use for it anymore. It will likely help you more than it ever would me. But let it be a reminder- not all of us who are dead are bad!"
Gretal hands over a Haste Circuit.
Back at the Ministry:
Waneda seems a little shocked and suprised when you show up, " I wont lie, I never thought any of those leads would turn anything up, let alone actaully encountering and captureing members of the corpse fleet."
"As far as what do with them.... well i've never had to do this before but i'll call the real military. This one is a POW technically anyways. " after about 20 minutes of waiting several Eoxian soldiers apear and take the ghoul away.
waneda muses as they take him away "Eternity sure is a long time to never see the surface again but hey, screw the Corpse Fleet right?"
| DR34-M12 |
"A wha? 'Marrow' blight? Why tha Hells can't we encounter cupcake blights or nacho zombies or something? Who comes up with this s%~&?"
"Yeah evil organizations sure do like to maintain an aesthetic."
waneda muses as they take him away "Eternity sure is a long time to never see the surface again but hey, screw the Corpse Fleet right?"
"Yeah screw the Corpse Fleet! So Waneda, what can you tell us about this Orphys location?"
| GM Friendly Sauce |
Gretal stares at the android for a moment before,"Well that would be city we are in sweety." she says rolling her eyes with no subtlety.
| Xavier "Rover" Florin |
"Wait we are in Orphys, does Hegan still have that flesh fetish club were you cut bits off of someone to eat or whatever?"
Haath Chaar
|
"I think he means the flesh vats. Wasn't there a buncha flesh went disappearin' over there? Maybe this marrowblight is bypassing the calcium exterior and just going straight to dessert."
"Speakin' of which," Hi-C digs around in his pack and pulls out a fresh bag of sour patch gummies in the shapes of Pact Worlds races. "Anyone want some?"
| Handsome Gob |

Handsome grabs only the human-shaped gummies and chews excessively hard on them...
"Huuuuuu-maaaahns...."
| Handsome Gob |
"Alrighty! Snack time's over! Shall we go check out the flesh vats!! We can continue snack time over there! MMmmmm!! Flesh vats! Snack time!! Yum yum!!!"
Ready to head out and meet Voxel when everyone else is.
| Xavier "Rover" Florin |
"No it wasn't vats it was a club, where women or men or whatever came in and the undead cut little pieces of flesh off them to eat paired with bile wine!"
"And yes I am ready" as he reaches in and grabs some of Gobs' gummies
| Xavier "Rover" Florin |
" Nope, but I did party with this Ghoul named Xathith who introduced me to Hegan, an Orc who owned this place. Hegan and I did a few jobs together before he lost his good hand. Then he retired here to his club" Xavier says checking hisngear.
| Xavier "Rover" Florin |
"You sure you want me to go first, I mean I'll try to leave stuff for ya if I run into trouble"He said with a smile as he looks about."You know for a living section of an Undead planet you don't see as many smokes as you'd think"
| GM Friendly Sauce |
before you leave Waneda says,"One more thing, Ambassador Nor wanted me to let you know that a faction that is close with the corpse fleet has noticed you poking around. I guess they sent some assassins to take you out of the equation so be on your guard!"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------- -----------------
The next lead to investigate is almost just across th street from the ministry at Fleshworn Fabrications, a necrograft manufacturer.
Essentially, basic biological materials are combined in the yard’s large vats and periodically agitated, which leads to the eventual creation of a synthetic substance that looks and functions almost identically to natural tissue. The factory’s flesh brewers tend to the vats while batches of flesh are percolating. When each batch has sufficiently matured, the flesh brewers use equipment housed in two large sheds to extract flesh from the vats, transport it to the yard’s enormous industrial flesh elevator, and convey it to the curing kilns in the factory’s upper reaches. There, other workers cure the flesh until it takes on the characteristics and structure of undead tissue. The cured flesh is then moved to the factory’s production lines, where it is cut and shaped or molded into undead organs in preparation for the final necromantic rituals that will transform the inert tissue into proper necrografts.
