Snorri sighs "I hope that at least worked..."

The AI says, "Thank you all very much for your efforts. I have re-established connection with Fleet. Of course interspace communication does take two weeks to arrive. I do apologize for how I have acted throughout most of your stay here on Kask Station, alien protocols had messed up my circuits."

Kit clings to Bro's arm in a panic as everything gets sucked out into space. When it's done and all is settled she gives him a nod. "Thanks, Bro."

After hearing the AI Kit nods slowly. "Uh, huh... And you're totally fine now... Yeah, I uh... I believe that completely." Kit remarks unconvincingly.

She looks around then shrugs. Turning to her commanding officer, she asks "So we done here? Mission accomplished?"

"We should give the station another once around, but yes," RoBro says robotically as Bronen nods. He haves himself up and offers a hand down to Kit.

Snorri looks up dubiously as if at the AI. "Agreed..."

Which sector would you like to visit first?

Kit groans. "Alright..." She begrudgingly follows her fellow survivors on a walk around.

...clockwise from whichever sector we're in now?

Sounds good to me

Snorri trudges off with his companions. Sure

I will get on it tomorrow. I have been moving house and the place descriptions are on another drive.

You walk into Beta Sector, where the alien used to be.

That portion of this sector that lies beyond the border road is completely barren. Dry, cracked earth stretches for hundreds of
yards in all direction, and it appears that nothing was ever grown here.

Before you is what before appeared to be an
impenetrable rain cloud lying at ground
level, in the same manner as fog. Most of the topsoil was expunged through the dome when the atmosphere was sent out.

"appeared" or appears?

I wrote appeared because when you visited the location before it was that way and now it is not.

Kit gives a nod of her head. "That's gone, at least. Good so far. Right?"

Forgive my confusion but I am unclear as to what it looks like now.

"We best have a good look around in case surprises were left behind."

You spend the next 4 hours doing a thorough search of the station for any errant alien activity or to see if the AI is reverting back to its ways.

It seems for the most part to be cleaned of infection and the funghi has been jetisoned into the cold reaches of space.

[ooc] Is there anything else you would like to look at? If not we can move to part 2 where you guys are able to level up to 4th level.[ooc]

I think that covers everything for me.

Nope Kit's ready to move on.

You return to your ship, the Upsilon
and on the inside of the vessel you discover
a thin film of gray fungi on the walls of
their airlock.

Snorri examines the Fungi to see if there's any structural similarities with the one they encountered on the space station. "It'd never be that easy would it."
Survival: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 19

Sorry for the delay but I thought someone else was going to help

Snorri is able to clear the airlock of the spores and then the remaining party members board their ship and leave Kask Station.

You undertake the journey back to Fleet HQ at Absalom Station, it gives you two weeks to ponder the horrors of Kask Station and the losses your squad took whilst aboard.

You land at Absalom station and you do a debriefing and you get you gold encased latinum as payment.

PLease, write up a final post from your character to end this and I thank you all for playing with me and sticking it out until the end.

Kit stands outside the briefing room, looking a little nervous. "So that was..." she sighs. "I'm done with this line of work. That whole business with Vult was... And Khall probably got vented into space or something..." She sighs. "I'm going back to civvy work."

Kit sticks her hand out at Vagoru. "It's been a pleasure, pal." She gives him a vigorous handshake, then does the same to Snorri. "Don't be a stranger, hey?"

Finally she looks up at Bro. Instead of a handshake, she gives the big guy a hug. "I'll miss you."

With a bit of a sniffle, Kit takes a step back from her pals. "You guys gonna stick it out here in 'Stick-up-the-ass-central' or what?"

Snorri takes Kit hand and firmly returns the shake. "The mission went sideways, it happens sometimes. I don't blame you at all. For a while there I was worried we wouldn't make it back. Once it's checked over by all the science types thoroughly it can become a home again for people."

"More importantly perhaps what we found out can help them make sure this doesn't happen again. It wasn't in vain."

A tear rolls down the bovine humanoid's face as he reciprocated the hug from Kit.

From behind him the familiar robotic voice speak up, "I have been at this for years now, I think it is about time I retire."
