You journey towards the location of the crash.
Poke, poke, guys, I really don't want to make this decision for you. If just one or two of you don't move your tokens, I can adjust, but I know too much about what is coming.
A giant insect pops up from the ground among you. Nearby is a chunk of wreckage containing a giant gun.
bold may post:
Yippee
Sarangari
Miya
Obozaya
skreebara
Elektra
Keskodai
"I'll to keep this bug distracted, while someone checks if that gun works!"
Obozaya pulls out her doshko and swings away.
Obozaya's swing leaves chunks missing from the bug, but the bug keeps going.
The bug finds itself missing more chunks under Sarangari's attack.
Miya's shot passes over the bug's head.
Yippee fires at the bug.
The giant bug then opens its mouth, sending a burst of sonic energy in a line.
Obozaya and Yippee each take 4 damage, Sarangari takes 8 damage.
The entire party is up.
"BWAAAAAARRGHH! I can scream too!" And another swing of the doshko.
"Keskodai, can you step to your left? Sarangari, slowly move to its' back! Let's try and surround this critter!"
Obozaya's swipe slams into the bug. It's barely standing.
Yippee's shot just barely bounces off the creature's armor.
Waiting for posts from Keskodai, Sarangari, and Elektra.
The bug goes down at Sarangari's attack.
You move on to the wreckage of the Unbounded Wayfarer, and see that the vessel is far beyond repair. You find no survivors, but seven corpses in the wreckage.
You recognize characteristic impact marks of heavy metallic slugs, such as those used in coilguns or railguns on starships. The damage on
the ship’s hull indicates that it tried to dodge the strafing fire
but darted the wrong way. (this gives you a clue in the next space battle)
The Unbounded Wayfarer’s computers are beyond repair, but they do still have a little power. The computer interface ports contain an indentation
the same shape as the Starfinder insignias.
"Could this have been done by the same weapon that broke that bone ship's aft? I'm good at shooting the weapons, not at recognizing the scars left behind by them."
"Yes.. .they zigged when they should have zagged. Good eye, Miya."
Yippee finds that the starfinder insignias they recovered fit perfectly into the indentation. The computer flares to life just enough to display a datafile of worlds previously explored by crew of the Unbounded Wayfarer.
They include:
• A wasteland planet called Elytrio that displayed signs of scattered technology.
• A sentient asteroid called Lamentia teeming with morlock 'children' in the Vast.
• A massive space station called End of Bright Things stuck between the orbits of two blue dwarf stars.
• A stormy, oceanic world called Wealdriad, with upthrust columns of basalt piercing the storm-tossed ocean’s surface.
The final location’s coordinates are too damaged to display, but the computer has enough power to open a slot containing a salvaged item from the lost location, an ioun stone. You send a wireless transmission of the files to the Odyssey for storage.
You collect the bodies and carefully bring them back to your ship so you can return them. You then climb into your ship and take off, ready to return to Absalom station.

END OF PART IV

(I will get part five started in a few minutes.)
"So, uhh... Can anyone identify that aeon stone? Maybe it can be of use to one of the group"

PART V: LAWBLIGHT
================================================
Your ship takes off, heading for Absalom Station.
A warning klaxon blares, and the ship lurches. The asteroid field around the world of Ulmarid is more agitated than on the descent down to the surface. Although it’s not clear what has caused the anomalous activity, what’s certain is that you must reach safer altitude before a more serious collision occurs.
Yippee, piloting check, please. Your ship gives a +2 to this check. Elektra as captain can attempt a Piloting check or a Diplomacy or Intimidate check to add a bonus to Yippee's check, and she also gets a +2 from the ship. The science officer can make a computers check, again at +2.
Keskodai tries to assist Yippee in his piloting of the ship...

Yippee safely guides the ship off the planet and through the asteroid field. As you emerge, as large rusty ship slips from behind an asteroid, already firing at you. The front of the ship resembles a stylized skull with crossed bones beneath, a clear sign of space pirates.

Yippee, before we start, you may move the ship as described in Lawblight Assault in the advantages spoiler. You may all read all the spoilers, they are only to improve readability.
