Vixi has always gotten a good deal of use out of her natural agility in her performances as well as her less well filmed activities, and has no problem displaying that with a series of fantastic flips and twists.

I think you've definitely got something there Zo! It'd be a shame if we only made the one attempt at Salvation's End, but why not film it! I know I got tons of viewers when I was examining the ghost ship that brought that Drift Rock back to Absalom - no reason not to keep combining exploration and entertainment!

Chirrk is truly fascinated by the discussion, and demonstration, of the symbiotic organism and its effects on the host. When the conversation seems to be coming to a close, Chirrk will move towards the final person they needed to influence - Venture Captain Naiaj.

He offers her a formal bow and says, "Greetings, honored Venture-captain. I am Chirrk Do'Tak, one of the Starfinder Society members here tonight, and it is a pleasure to meet you! Although I am new to the Society, one day I hope to rise to the ranks that you oversee. But even at my level, I have seen the impact we have around the galaxy. For instance, I am recently returned from Tasch, on Akiton, where we not only captured a rogue agent who stole a valued, but dangerous, relic from the Society, we also helped to broker a deal for AbadarCorp to set up a shipping outpost in the town. What was your first mission with the Society?"

Bix curses softly at himself as his first attempt to impress Royo goes bad. He glances around to see if any of his companions are then, waiting for an opportune moment and lull in the conversation, Biz tries again to interact and impress the ysoki.

He begins by asking about analog mechanics, then tries relate a story. "...and the power driver went down, and no one knew what to do. But, I showed them a mundane wrench and a length of pipe could exert the same, if not more, force and get the job done." Pointing out the ysoki's glasses, Bix comments. "Like your glasses demonstrate, sometimes the simple, analog tool is a better choice then complex systems that have more things that could potentially fail...."

--- Mobius and Ykris---

As Chirrk slinks away, Mobius agrees to be the host for Ykris for a moment. The insect-like creature detaches form the half-even host, and then crawl up Mobius. The feeling is invasive, but enlightening, but certainly initially painful. Take 2 damage. Once Ykris is in place, Mobius experience the feeling of being of one mind with another being, effortlessly sharing thoughts and motorics.

After a bit of time passes, Ykris disconnects the link and crawls back to his original host. It was a pleasure, but I return to the comfort and confines that are familiar to me.

Mobius does manage to further impress Ykris with his biological know-how.

---Vixi and Zo!---
Vixi performs a number of impressive stunts, and Zo! seems to approve Brilliant, brilliant! Exactly the kind of variety talent I am looking for. I can make you big, really big. Think flashing moonface billboards big!

---HYY and It177---
Yeon Yeol shares some stories with Iteration-177, who seems interested, I'm sure the guidance of Carsai supported you in that mission. Did you ever feel like you were in peril?

---Chirrk and Naiaj---
Akiton, yes, quite interesting, Naiaj says somewhat dismissively, these new recruits get sent everywhere, I guess Akiton is as good as any planet. She sizes up Chirrk and asks How did you prepare for that mission? What did you take? Equipment, supplies, tools?

She's looking for experience in the field. Engineering, Computer or Piloting would help

---Bixbie and Royo---
Yes, yes, Royo says, still somewhat withdrawn and aloof, obviously. These machines are only as good as the power that feeds them. Well done, very... eh... workmanlike.

He doesn't seem to be too interested in engineering. (Culture, Life sciences, physics, mysticism are more his things.) Still, he doesn't seem unimpressed, and Bixbie has his attention.

Bix nervously glances around, hoping one of his new companions might be passing by and able to get pulled into the conversation with the ysoki as he begins to feel out of his depth.

Heh, this guys' interests are diametrically opposed from Bix's expertise. And no untrained on any of those.

His mind racing as he searches the room, he say. "If you'll excuse me for one moment Master Royo, I have a companion who's insights I think you would appreciate and would align with areas of interest." Giving a short bow, he adds. "I'm not too proud to admit when I'm out of my bandwidth."

He quickly turns and looks for a companion who can help him or trade places. Like Chirrk perhaps?

Hyon Yeol leans in and whispers...
We are all in peril, constantly. Something horrible is threatening this system. Carsai is fighting against it, protecting us all, but it´s there, i can feel it in the emptyness of space. Sometimes, when i meditate in the void, i can glimpse it.

Round 2
Hyon Yeol makes a bit more small talk, then moves on to Bixbie and Royo, reading the ysokis clues as he spots him.
[b]Bixbie, there you are, i have been looking for you. How are you? Oh i see you are not alone. Let me introduce myself: I am Hyon Yeon Yeol, savant of the void. Are you perhaps interested in the mysteries of the void? [b]

Hey Bix - can we switch?!!? I have nothing in Computers or Engineering!

Chirrk sees Bix approaching, and after a few moments of soft discussion, Cirrk introduces Bix to Venture-captain Naiaj, saying, "Yes, Tasch was an interesting place. My companion here can provide better details on how we prepare for mission." He will back away once Bixbie engages the Halfling.

Once free, Chirrk heads for Royo and begins to talk of the cultural impacts of various media formats over the past two hundred years, noting the positive and negative aspects.

Froyo Royo looks like he might be up Lynn's alley too once she switches off with Vixi. Got physical science or culture as options with fairly high bonuses.

While Lynn is performing, she listens in to what the other guests might be talking to Naiaj about (hoping to deduce what kind of interests the gnome has).

After Ykris returns to his host, Mobius feels the area where the implantation occurred and tries to assess it. "That was incredible! I've never felt anything like it. But to be honest, the implantation phase does hurt a little. Might I suggest a solution that we could use to lessen the pain felt during the process." He thinks of a ideas to suggest to Ykris...

Bix sighs audibly in relief when Chirrk moves in to take his spot. Seizing the opportunity, he wends his way over to Naiaj.

He politely introduces himself. "Greetings Venture Captain Naiaj, I'm Bix, a new recruit of the Society. It is a great pleasure to meet you. I understand you have an interest in mission planning. Though I have not went on many missions as yet, I find the subject of logistical planning fascinating. Do you have any specific missions planned for the near future. I've been reading up on some of the latest geosurveying and long range telemetry techniques." If the VC allows him, Bix speak to his chosen topics.

Zo! looks quite entertained, but you don't know how many successes you'd need for him

--Mobius and Ykris---
Yes, of course, our actual impants do not have this drawback. Our devices mimic nature, they don't follow it to the letter.

--Chirrk and It 177---
Chirrk listens in on the charming android, and ifnds he might be up for talking about the Society's past mission and future plans.

Bluff, Diplomacy, or an applicable Profession skill, Culture or Mysticism

--Bix and Naiaj---
Naiaj reacts quite positively to Bixbie's comments Telemetry, that is a useful skill that we unfortunately lack too often these days. Well chosen!

Her face changes when Bixbie mentions optimized ship layouts There is no sweet spot there, she says adamantly, it is the situation that makes the optimal configuration, not some theoretical ratio.

Meditation in the void is one of the greatest experiences of there. Even if you need a space suit unlike me, it's pure awesome. You can really connect to space and the whole universe on a completely different level. It's just you and eternity of there.

Assuming Vixi is switching off with Lynn here. If that's not the case, then Lynn is still singing.

Lynn wraps up a song, takes a big bow and breathlessly says "Thank you everyone! Now, I'd like to introduce my great friend Vixi." She waves a hand in Vixi's direction to draw the room's attention to her "She's a wonderful singer and will be sure to charm your stockings off!" She giggles and steps down off the stage, passing the mic to Vixi.

Quietly to Vixi she says "Well, not sure if I got them in the mood for you, but I tried my hardest! I know you'll blow them away from here." She gives the halfling a high five (though its more of a mid five) and heads out onto the floor to mingle.

Seeing Chirrk faltering with the Tasch story, Lynn hops on over to back him up with Iteration-177. She claps a hand on the kasatha's shoulder and beams at the android "Did you know Chirrk here had a ONE on ONE facedown with that renegade Starfinder that escaped to Akiton? The two of them in a speeding minecart! Chirrk was like a dark void, standing bravely, wreathed in the blackness of space but wielding nothing but a tiny knife. All the while the renegade had his gun pointed right at him! And KRACK, POW!" Lynn makes hand gestures to accompany the tale "Chirrk here like a blur, bullets missing at point blank! The renegade was trying to trick him too, but Chirrk was having nothing of it! Like an action hero, y'know? And with a SWISH SWISH" She mimes swinging a knife about "He took that renegade to the GROUND!" She grins.

She pats Chirrk's shoulder "Got the artifact the renegade stole back in no time flat! Model Starfinder material right here. Protected me too..." She looks up at Chirrk through her eyelashes, rocking from side to side, before winking at Iteration-177. "The Society is in good hands with us!"

Iteration 177 politely listens as Chirrk stumbles with his words, trying to feign interest. When Lynn arrives, he lightens up at the much more lively description of
the story, and is visibly excited.

Luwazi joins the scenes for a brief moment, passing by the adventurers to check how things are going. Zo! and Ykris look to be enjoying themselves, she says, it would only take a little more effort to make a lasting impression..

I'm surprised by how well you've dealt with Iteration-177 and Royo so far, they're not the easiest to get along with. Naiaj is tough, as expected, but do not give up on her. Good going!

Mobius thanks Ykris for his time and heads on over to assist Bix. As he approaches Bix and Naiaj, he activates his exocortex to send him pertinent data about piloting. "Alright M.I.C.H., Bix and I really need your help right now." Activating memory module

He greets the Venture-Captain and puts a hand on Bix's shoulder. "Greetings Venture-Captain. I could not help but listen to your conversation regarding starship schematics.

Chirrk, after seeing Vixi's acrobatics with Zo! decides he is better suited to talk with the media mogul than almost anyone else in the room.

"I hear you are looking for talented stunt actors for a movie idea. As a trained Starfinder, I am skilled in the martial aspects of our craft and could help with combat scenes if you are interested. Let me demonstrate some fight choreography..." Chirrk then executes a fighting kata, a series of moves, blocks, and strikes.

Vixi takes to the stage, as a parting shot pointing out to Zo! that Even the best action scenes can benefit from some comic relief.

Rather than bust out one of her showstoppers, Vixi plays it relatively muted, channeling more of a lounge singer vibe in an effort to show off a wide repertoire After all, he's already seen "spunky singing adventurer", gotta show the soft side!

Profession (Pop Star): 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (19) + 12 = 31

Once her set is completed, Vixi'll make her way over to Naiaj, someone she can see eye-to-eye with.

Telling some war stories, Bix? You guys'll love this one - Hi, Vixi Trixen - One thing I love about working with ysoki - They always know when it's time to stow the ego and get to work. I was flying 'round doing some work for an Eoxian ambassador - that whole drift rock thing - and let me tell you. The mechanic I was crewed up with knew his stuff! When it came to a fight against some "interested parties" he kept us flying like a champ - even in the teeth of some pretty nasty shooting. What I really appreciated though, was that he didn't just overclock everything like a crazy person. Same things apply when you're in the cockpit or tinkering around in the engine; you've gotta really understand the specs of your ship if you're gonna pick the right time to ignore 'em.

Lynn waves goodbye to Chirrk as the kasatha heads off to do some flips. She smiles at the [u]Iteration-177[/u] and asks "By the way, what do you think Luwazi's big announcement is going to be? Something about the Second Seekers maybe?"

"I've had a chance to work with a lot of Starfinders already, and they're a really energetic bunch. People around the station seem to like us too! But sometimes missions mean we have to cross nice, normal people." She pouts theatrically at the thought. "I was thinking maybe, in the future, we could have some events with all our friends on the Station. Meet and greets! Not quite like this-" She spreads her hands to indicate the room "But something a bit more cozy! I think it'd be a great way to let everyone know that we care about them and that the Society is on their side!"

"I think I heard the Aspis did something like that. Any chance for tips?"

Bix gives a quick, toothy smile to Vixi, glad to have some backup, and continues speaking to piloting with the Venture Captain. "While I'm certainly not a veteran pilot, I have spent my fair share in ships and learning all I can about them." Taking a breath, he launches into a description of a pet project/hobby of his, designing the next generation of Society exploration ships. "I find speed and maneuverability to take priority over gun power. We are a Society of exploration after all. I'd think the main issue is balancing ship size, an the complement of sensors and tools, to the of engine size and power consumption. I'd really like to see engines with a better fuel/power ratio...."

Round 5

She then hops over to engage Royo, giving him a wave as she approaches. "Hi there, Mr. Royo!" she sit neatly on a stool to get closer to his level. "Hope you're enjoying this little party. I'm Lynn by the way." She extends a hand "I heard that you're someone who values old fashioned hard work? Me too!" She giggles at the straightforwardness of her statement "I've practiced every single day since as far as I remember to work on my singing. And performing and everything else too. It's hard, but its really rewarding."

She takes a long look at him and then offers. "Did you know how much science is a part of singing? From the vocal harmonies and frequencies to studying your audience and their reactions to understand what to try next. I'm always amazed what people have written about performing in the past. Some of the books I've read have such wonderful information!" Lynn keeps a close eye on Royo's responses and goes into more detail about the Cultural or Scientific aspects depending on what seems to engage him better.

Bigger moves! Hmm. You've got potential, but I need to see bigger moves. From a distance, you would hardly seem to be moving at all!

Chirrk nods respectfully. "Ah, yes, but you see all great kata must start small and controlled before they can be practiced more powerfully. Now watch the same routine but at speed. If I had one of my sparring partners here, you could see how each strike and block in this kata was a counter to another form. But you will get a better idea this time."

Lynn continues with Royo, giving him a sidelong glance and saying "Y'know, have you published anything about sonics and sonic magic? I'd love to hear more if you have. Its a really interesting, umm, field. But not too much of the magic used these days interacts with it." She enthusiastically follows up any discussion he can provide with more questions. Her comments quickly reveal that she's a little out of her depth.

Hmm, yes, Naiaj says, did you bring a computer specialist then?

---Vixi, Chirrk and Zo!---
Zo seems quite impressed with Vixi's performance, and it surely helps him appreciate Chirrk's acrobatics more Such a versatile bunch you are. Yes, yes, much better. I should definitely consider you for my latest show!

---Lynn and Royo--
Royo is clearly more interested in the scientific aspects of harmonies. It is a great example of analog technology. Each pitch is a fixed multiple of the previous one, and an entire scale doubles the frequency! You can go down in scale, but never reach the bottom.

Luwazi signals that Zo! and Naiaj are sufficiently imprssed, and she suggests to instead focus on Ykris, It-177 and Royo, who are almost there.

Bix warms up to his subject and continues talking to the Venture Captain. He switches topics once more and starts to ramble on about quantum mechanics and theoretical quantum based computing, but he oversteps the area where solid knowledge meet anecdote, and it shows. He voice trails off as he tries to think of another topic....

After a few drinks, Mobius spots Ykris and his host and decides to impress him some more regarding his research in the medical field. "Mr. Ykris!

After disentangling from her discussion with Naiaj, Vixi makes her way over to Iteration-177. As their rep suggests that they're interested in connections, Vixi first makes a point of feeling the android out about what sorts of adventures, they're particularly interested in - especially as relates to any sort of joint expeditions in the future.

Chirrk grabs a glass of Stafford Gold, takes a straw from his belt and quickly sips down the liquer, then heads back to Royo to make a final attempt to impress the ysoki. Chirrk is a creature of martial action and has no mind for boring facts and intellectual pursuits. However, he is somewhat of a charmer and decides to trust his wit and personality - which could win the night or lose it entirely...

Bluff: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (11) + 3 = 14

The stiff drink helps bolster his confidence, but doesn't do much for his talking points. At least the kasatha doesn't make a complete arse of himself!

A most interesting finding. I look forward to working with you in the future... Ykris says, suitably impressed.

At this point in the evening, Chirrk decides to move out of the way and start watching the rest of the crowd in anticipation of the announcement. He tries to pick out the security team - are they obvious, or blending in with the guests? Is there anyone, or a group, who look out of place?

Vixi makes Royo her last schmooze of the night. Rather than downplay her affiliation with Historia-7 and the Dataphiles, she embraces it, though she also pointedly doesn't refer to any datapads or the like in her discussion of the ways that indigenous Akitonian religion impacts the cultural assessments of intrastellar vs. interstellar trade.

Lynn makes way for Vixi and heads back to the stage to finish off the night. She takes the mic and takes a seat at the edge. With a quiet and warm voice she says "Hope everyone is enjoying their night so far. It was fascinating to meet you all. This wonderful event is all thanks to the lovely Luwazi Elsebo, could we get a round of applause for her?" She points Luwazi out to the side of the room.

"Now, please enjoy this next song. I hope it helps you reflect on all the things you're thankful for here on the Station." Lynn gives a brief smile, then bows her head (and taps the screen of her datapad sitting next to her), allowing the opening notes of a new backing song begin. Sitting there at the edge of the stage, she begins to sing a ♫♪slow ballad♫♪.

Hyong Yeon Yeol moves to talk a bit with Royo...
Oh hello there! I heard you like analog books very much. Is it just the medium for you, or also the knowledge they transport? For me, the medium doesn´t matter as much i guess, but i really cherish the old and ancients secrets hidden away in books or even chiseled in stone tablets. Isn´t it amazing what the elders already knew sometimes and how much knowledge was lost over the aeons? I already found some very interesting stories and facts in old books.

횽연열 spends a good deal of the evening conversing with the Ysoki scholar. It is a succintness of information information that interests me. Rather than obfuscating information in enourmous datasets, analog records tend to condense records into a few easily interpretable observations. A stone table, if you may, will hold several kilobytes worth of data, while a full digital dataset may hold exobytes. Creators of such smaller records ensures that every byte counts.

As the Starfinders have suitably impressed the guests of honor, Radaszam gestures for the party to meet him in one of the service corridors running alongside the Skyreach Room for a discreet meeting.

The burly vesk doesn’t mince words. “We’ve got a situation on our hands. I’ve been following rumors of a somewhat notorious assassin who only recently showed up on Absalom Station. I just heard from one of my contacts that signs point to the First Seeker as the assassin’s next target—and if that’s the case, the assassin will almost certainly make a move tonight.

“Now here’s the thing. I’ve got enough security here that no one’s really in any danger; and besides, Luwazi’s no stranger to a fight. But it’d look really bad for the Society if someone took at shot at her in front of all these high-ups, you know what I mean?

“On the other hand, if a team of crack Starfinders were to investigate the rumors and unmask the assassin, we’d be able to show that we can still hold our own and add some, oh, let’s say, gravitas to the First Seeker’s announcement tonight. Defeat this assassin in style, impress the investors, make yourselves look good in the process... What do you say?”

Mobius tries to hide his shock upon hearing of an assassination. He asks Radaszam, "If an assassination is about to happen then we must act immediately. Do you have any leads regarding this assassin? Or a description? He or she could be anyone of these well-dressed individuals."

He tries to activate his exocortex to receive and remember all pertinent data. "M.I.C.H., record everything that Radaszam would relay to us. The First Seeker's life is at stake here."

Chirrk is distressed by the announcement, as he is a Second Seeker sworn to uphold the First Seeker and her plans. "Yes, we must have your intelligence report, including all pertinent and related details. You say we should defeat this threat in style and impress the party goers, but we can not let this become an old-world 'witch hunt.' What you ask requires surgical precision, and that requires details beyond what you have provided so far."

After thinking about it for a moment, Lynn balls her fists and stands up straight, facing Radaszam. "Don't you worry Radaszam, we'll do it! We'll find this assassin and expose them in style!" She gives the faction leader a sunny smile and a thumbs up. "Detective Lynn is on the case!"

Radaszam gruffs at the question of Chirrk Do you think I was born yesterday? We suspect a particularly hard-to-trace individual called Triloyeta. We've managed to trace the individual to a rented engineering bay in Sparks.

Rasdaszam provides an address and says Go to this location, and perform a search. Once you have more information, contact me by comms link.

Before the party leaves, Radaszam provides the group with two screamer grenades I, a tactical arc emitter, a set of business stationwear armor and an additional 1600 credits (for the whole group) for expenses.

Any questions at this point? You can try a computers check for more info, but that will also take time.

Mobius thanks the vesk. "No more questions. Thank you for the information, Radaszam. Time is of the essence and I believe we should get going."

Once again speaking to M.I.C.H., he tries to close out the location of the engineering bay. "M.I.C.H., give me the coordinates of this rented engineering bay in Sparks."

Chirrk looks at the others and asks, "Any objections if I utilize this armor? It seems that I will be the first into a fight based on my melee training. I will need a few minutes to switch out..."

Assuming no one else minds, I will update Chirrk's stats. Happy New Year!!
