Suzi from Accounting, 88 NL
The axe hits and knocks Suzi out. She just gives an “Oof!” of pain and then collapses.
Now that combat is over, Yolan comes forward congratulating you. “That was fantastic! Really incredible to watch. Thank you so much!”
A few minutes later, Suzi wakes up. Looking down, she growls “Yulan! Is this your doing?” The grin he gives her is bright.
Yulan then looks to you and says “Let me know when you figure out what favor you want.” With that, he forwards his contact information.
Suzi for her part looks to Srurdez and says “Nice throw!”
Suzi smiles, saying “I like your style!”
She swings her hammer, making sure to turn it so that it wouldn’t do killing damage. It doesn’t seem her heart is really in it.

Zarg looks over at Yulan. "Whelp... between you ann me... when the time comes ta figgur out who ya want in charge o' the big apple... Iseki-Okaibo definitely's got what it takes. As fer Daatch..."
He holds a clawed finger out towards him. "If ye wanna know what ah think 'bout 'er, pull mah finger."
Radaszam stands in front of a holographic star map. He gestures with a claw and enlarges a quadrant of Pact Worlds space. “Right under her colleague’s noses, Datch exploits her position as director of Pact Worlds security,” he muses. “Impressive, but bad for business.”
Radaszam points to Aballon on the map. “A shipment of drone parts scheduled for recycling is on its way to Aballon. Odd, considering AbadarCorp’s primary recycling facilities are located elsewhere. Thanks to recon provided by the Obsidian Spiders mercenaries, we know Datch signed off on the shipment. I want you to track down the cargo ship before it reaches its destination. If we can cut off Datch’s resources now, she’ll be easier to deal with later. We have the Stewards’ blessing to investigate, but don’t pick a fight unless you have no other choice.”
Radaszam provides you with the shipment's identification number and suggests they begin their search at a set of coordinates near Aballon.
It takes a day to get to the coordinates that Radaszam provided. After you exit the drift, you pick up another craft in the vicinity.
When you attempt to contact the ship, there is no immediate answer. It is a few minutes before the connection is finally accepted.
“This is Captain Val Lulan of the Cerulean Shrike.” A damaya male lashunta appears on the communications screen. “We have no record of such an order and your ship does not match any Steward vessel we have ever seen.”
He raises his eyebrows and asks “Do we look like one of those fat AbadarCorp transport ships to you?”
Zargothrax has no trouble determining that the small light freighter matches the identification number given. It isn’t listed as an AbadarCorp ship.

"They ain't fat! They're just big-framed. Anywhooo, 'cordin ta yer ident numbers, you've got a load 'o AbadarCorp drone parts ann the dee-livery been signed off by AbadabaCorp reps... so kinda yeah? Yer workin on be-haff 'o AbadarCorp juss like we're workin on be-haff 'o the Stewards! Ah think it's juss a big ole misunderstandin' though. Abadaba's main recyclin' facility aint this way at all! That kinda raised some flags ya know? Hopin it's just a misunderstandin' and ye can get on in the right direction... prolly even bill for the extra drift time ya know if it wasn't yer fault."
“Seems to me you are a little confused. Might want to check your sources first next time. Now if you don’t mind, I have a delivery to make.”

"Kind sir, it matters not the origin of your ship. We have information of what your ship is carrying and orders from the Stewards to conduct an investigation. Indeed if there is nothing out of order, you are free to proceed on with only a couple hours of delay." Thomagar steps in speaking into the comms with a calm, measure and very officious sounding voice.
Looking to the side, Captain Lulan says “Ah, it seems you are not willing to let me leave until you see my authorization for this shipment. One moment as we prepare to transmit it....”
At that point, your ship’s warning system goes off indicating the enemy ship is activating its weapons and combat systems.
Fluke Jaywalker fires the non-turret weapon that is in arc.
Starship Combat Round 1

Speed
AC 14; TL 16
HP 65; DT —; CT 13
Shields medium 100 (forward 25, port 25, starboard 25, aft 25)
Attack (Forward) twin laser (5d8)
Attack (Port) laser net (2d6)
Attack (Starboard) light plasma torpedo launcher (3d8)
Attack (Turret)
Power Core Pulse Blue (200 PCU); Drift Engine Signal Basic; Systems advanced medium-range sensors, crew quarters (good), mk 3 duonode computer, mk 4 armor, mk 6 defenses; Expansion Bays cargo hold, escape pods, science lab, tech workshop
Modifiers +3 to any two checks per round, +4 Computers, +1 Piloting; Complement 4–7
Automated Defenses: Once per starship combat, a science officer can reduce the speed of a single tracking weapon fired at your starship by 50% for 1 round. Declare the use of this ability when the enemy weapon is fired but before its gunnery check is attempted. A science officer can spend a Resolve Point to activate this boon again in any subsequent round or encounter.
Defender of the fleet (engines): You can increase the speed of your thrusters by one step. Already applied above.
Abundant Ammunition: Select one starship weapon with the limited fire special property on the group's starship. The selected weapon increases the value of the limited fire value by half (rounded down). For example, a limited fire 5 weapon would become limited fire 7. Applied to turret.
Weapons of a Lost Civilization: When you slot this boon, select one light weapon onboard your starship and replace that weapon with a tactical nuclear missile launcher The modifications are somewhat jury-rigged, and as a result, all gunnery checks using this weapon take a –1 penalty. Anytime you fire this weapon during the course of a scenario, check a box for the corresponding weapon. Once all boxes for a weapon are checked, you can no longer gain the benefits of this starship weapon (though you can still benefit from the first part of this boon).

A manic look crosses Gunnz face as the Pegasus detects the others ships weapon systems coming on line.
"Strap in, this might get bumpy!" she calls out, although it is not fear in her voice so much as excitment.
Within seconds the thumping sounds of SMC start to echo through the Pegasus as Gunnz hits her "battle" playlist.
Unsecured cabinet doors (and to be fair, some secured ones too) as she takes the Pegasus from a standing start to redlined in mere seconds. "Wheeeeeee" she calls out from the depths of her acceleration couch. "Gota love not driving a bus."
The Pegasus starts to get put through a convoluted series of twists and turns to keep enemy guns away from it.
"Yo, Lizard, what are their guns like, where do you want me to keep away from?"
The other ship moves to attack your aft side.

Orrian blinks after hearing Srurdez's loud encouragement.
"Right away! Orrian shouts over comms, grabbing a helpful computer node and pulling up the weapons modules.
"Hope this works."
Selecting both nukes and the appropriate weapon depending on the arc, Orrian mutters "Hope this works."
He fires.
