You are all en route to the Lorespire complex, some of you from recruiters, others off of a mission. he deep rumble of the train as it skims along its metal track creates a pleasant bass line for the sounds of the cityscape. The car’s glass and metal walls shield the interior from the roar of traffic outside, but the faint howl of sirens and cab horns occasionally pierces this sanctum. Cradled safely inside the car, passengers murmur in private conversation or play muted vidfeeds on their comm units and datapads. The familiar click and whir of assistant machines fills the aisles.

Popper stares out the window, half-mesmerized by the flow of traffic, watching the Lorespire steadily grow in size with a sort of distracted curiosity, his malformed mandibles twitching excitedly from time to time. He always enjoys gazing at the Lorespire; few places on Absalom Station invoke such grandeur. He wonders, as he often does, what secrets the building holds. He absently strokes the pendant around his neck, a circle and arrow with a constellation inside, then smooths the creases of his functionary's robes. He'd just returned from worship when he got the call for a new mission. Blackmood was some time ago, and he is eager to go on a new adventure. He feels like a hatchling, unable to sit still as his anticipation grows.

The android ignores the scenery, her eyes fixed on the screen of her datapad as she types furiously, trying to input data from her latest field work before arriving at Lorespire. The work had been intriguing, as usual, but she was no closer to discovering her own origins than she'd been a year ago. But Antares-1 feels no particular frustration in that - its simply a dispassionate fact. But then... why does she feel a sudden compulsion to slam the datapad screen down so hard that she might feel the satisfaction of the crystal screen shattering? Not that it would be likely in any case, but why should she hope that it might? It's not logical.

Antares-1 isn't aware of her own sigh as she gently lowers the screen, then tucks the datapad away. Now her gaze lifts to view the Lorespire looming just ahead, and her eyes flicker across the car to the other passengers. The nearest passenger, sitting just across the aisle, is a shirren dressed in robes, idly stroking a pendant that hangs from his neck. A circle and arrow with some sort of constellation within.

Impulsively, the android speaks. "Excuse me, may I inquire about that pendant you wear? What does it represent?"

I have to admit, I'm curious about that too says a bright pink morlamaw, occuping the seat in front of the shirren. Hi. I'm Pinkiee. New to the Starfinders and planner of parties.

He looks over to the android. Awww. Why aren't you smiling?

Oh! Popper sends with mild surprise. The shirren speaks telepathically; it's likely his malformed mandibles have something to do with his choice not to speak aloud. Truthfully I have no idea. Weird, right? But that's Ibra for you. Nobody knows what constellation this is. That's what makes it perfect to represent The Inscrutable. Ibra's all about the mysteries of the cosmos. The movement of heavenly bodies. It's all just... The shirren sighs wistfully. Weird. I love it.

He gestures to the datapad in the android's hands. Working on anything interesting?

Kaladyne remains standing as she moves slightly with some excess energy. Her hands repeatedly reaching for her datapad out of habit. She eventually settles settling in near the edge of the train where here height wouldn't get in they way. Signs of former and replaced cybernetic implants are obvious across her hands and neck, even as the skin shifts to match a rapidly changing backdrop outside the window.

Glad to take a distraction she joins in the conversation, "That is poetic and something I've known a great number would agree. You have a lot of excellent company in admiring the bits of freedom out there. I admit I have a harder time with that. I like clear answers and well defined goal lines. Working with unknowns has felt like among the worst disasters for me."

Antares-1 nods at Popper's response, unsurprised at the telepathic ability of the shirren. "There is much out there that is unknown..." She says aloud, her thoughts on her own origins and the mystery surrounding her past. Perhaps this Ibra would be worth looking into. "Call me Antares. I was finishing work on my latest project. I'm an archaeologist, when I'm not out working for the Starfinders. The Lorespire pays well for the data I am able to glean - whether out in the field or researching vast data dumps that it might take years for a human to peruse."

The android glances at Pinkiee, her head cocking slightly as she gazes at the morlamaw. "Is there a reason to smile? I was not aware... though I admit, emotions often confuse me. My responses are often seen as... unfitting for a particular situation. Do you plan many parties for the Starfinders? I have been to very few social events. Mainly due to my aforementioned troubles in those settings."

When the Verthani interjects, Antares finds a like-minded individual. "Indeed, hard data is most comfortable. I have endeavored to delve into... mysteries myself, but I find myself stymied in every effort. If I were human, I would call myself quite vexed by it all."

Oh, don't get me wrong, data points are important too! he sends. It's just... I think my favorite part about science is that no matter how much we learn, we always find new blank spots that need filling. It's like trying to pour water into a jug with a hole in the bottom. But you still need the water, so you keep filling the jug. I guess I'm just more fascinated by the hole than the water. His antennae twitch in embarrassment. If that makes any sense?

I just like experiencing stuff ..... like the whollllleeeeee Cosmos. But that's a lot so I've decided to start here ... and exploring the unknown is why I signed up in the first place.

As for smiling. Well ... I guess I'm a 'turn that frown upside down' sort of person. Besides, a smile on a person's face makes me wanna smile too ... and that makes me happy. Plus, smiles are more attractive. You'd look really good with one.

Somehow a party hat ends up on Antares-1's head.

Pinkiee then ponders the constellation a bit, looking at it from all angles. I suppose a constellation like that could exist. I guess it really depends which planet's night sky you happen to be looking at and when.

A Halfling sits on a chair, a couple of rows back from the others, gazing at the darkened mote floating around their head.

He seems to be staring at it's intricacies and gazing deep into the black.

His head perks up when he hears the Starfinders being mentioned, pops off his chair and moves to be with the others.

"Are you all Starfinders? I'm new here..." he trails off awkwardly.

Staring at the mote, and gathering some confidence, he continues, "I'm Haldir Everhath and I'm a trainee Pilot hoping to see the stars!" He almost imperceptibly shakes his head at the nervousness of saying his whole name to strangers but he was taught to be proud of his name at an early age.

"It's very nice to meet you, I'm excited to see what we will do in the Starfinder Society and what we can do to hone our skills!"

"A thousand questions flood his mind, am I too excitable? What if people don't like me? What if they just ignore me?"

"Oh man" Haldir thinks to himself, this still is harder than I thought...

Pinkiee holds out a flipper and smiles at Haldir.

Welcome aboard. I'm Pinkiee, and I'm sort of new too. Hey. Maybe I should throw a Welcome to the Starfinders party. But yeah. I've met Guidance and the faction heads but that's about it.

He looks up at the black mote. Ooooh .. that looks cool. What would happen if I poked it?

Haldir takes the aforementioned flipper and shakes it.

"Really nice to meet you Pinkiee, always nice to meet fellow Starfinders. I'm not sure I've ever been to a party with anyone outside my family before. Halfling families are quite big you know" He says trailing off.

"Oh cool, who is your favourite faction head?" Haldir perks up interested.

Haldir looks to the Black Mote and back to Pinkiee, and awkwardly says, "Well only the heat death of the universe and everything sucked into a black hole for all eternity. That's all." He says, shrugging. "Any other questions?"

A lithe android dressed in deep indigo and merlot sidles up to the group. Quietly, almost in a whisper, her warm voice slips into an opening in the conversation. "I am new to the Starfinder Society, too. My name is Twila-5." The hair on the left side of her head is clean-shaven, while the rest falls in a tumble of naturally wavy locks just past her shoulder, dyed an ombre that begins with a deep red-violet at the roots and ends with indigo at the tips. Indigo and violet tattoos of delicate flowers and intricate scrollwork adorn her pale violet glowing circuits and draw the viewer's attention to her amethyst eyes. "I am on my way to my first mission. I was...nervous. May I join your conversation?" There is a kindness and gentleness in the tone of her voice, even if the delivery is a little flat.

Of course! Popper sends. I love meeting new people! This is only my second mission for the Society! Well--third, if you count my commencement. It was rather, um... involved. His antennae vibrate slightly. He suddenly slaps his forehead with one of his extremities. I didn't even introduce myself! Where's my head at? I'm" He sends a noise that is unpleasantly scratchy, not quite nails-on-a-chalkboard bad, but definitely jarring, that sounds like Jchk'hah. But most people call me "Popper." They call me that because I can explode people's heads with my mind!

He pauses, and his antennae twitch guiltily. Well, okay, not really. But I did give a very rude vesk a nosebleed once.


The train car is crowded but not uncomfortably packed. Nearby passengers sink into a sleepy lull as a kasatha softly plays a portable theremin in the aisle near an emergency exit in the back of the train.

Looks like that's everyone! I'll kick this off with the briefing tomorrow.

Twila-5 gives a nod to Popper that almost seems like a small bow. "I will endeavor to always treat you with respect." Turning to Pinkie, she conscientiously replies: "Thank you for your welcome." Wait...That sounds weird. Too formal, and Pinkie is a casual sort. <sigh> She catches herself sighing like Twila-4, her soul's previous body, and mentally grimaces. She tries so hard to be a more positive person than her predecessor, but sometimes that nihilistic attitude leaks through her subconscious.


The train abruptly jolts to a halt with a jarring screech. All electronic feeds and holoscreens flicker and shut off at once, as if controlled by a master switch. For a moment, a roaring silence replaces the city’s constant symphony. An insistent beeping pierces the air and the train stutters, rolls a few feet, then jerks into stillness once again. A palpable hum fills the train car as dozens of crimson lights blink in frantic, random patterns. The helpful machines patrolling the aisle or hovering near the ceiling twitch and spark erratically as the train suddenly lurches forward again, now accelerating at a frightening speed.

Twila-5 and Antares-1 both feel a fog cloud their mind as their thoughts cease to become their own and are replaced with questions and orders duplicating and repeating over and over in their minds...

Twila-5 and Antares-1 - Will save DC 12:
Your minds are being overtaken by malicious code. You are confused. I'll handle the duration

There is no map at the moment, but I'll be handling actions in rounds as you deal with the impending possibility of going off the rails on this crazy train.

Round 1:
Antares-1 (Will save pending)

Popper looks around, bewildered. Is anyone hurt? he sends, getting to his feet and peering around in the obnoxious glare of the red emergency lights.

Taking a move action to Seek. As a shirren, Popper also has blindsense (vibrations) out to 30 feet. Looking for anyone or anything out of place here.

Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 11

Will probably choose a standard action based on the results.

Antares shakes her head, as though her thoughts are muddied. "Something's wrong... a virus... malicious code... I believe this train has been hijacked. We must get to the controls immediately!"

Putting actions to words, she picks up her pack and sees about getting into the car that contains the controls for this vehicle.

Any roll needed to figure out a way to get to the controls? Or are they inaccessible to the passengers?

Yoicks Pinkiee exclaims, as the train lurches then accelerates. He gets out of the way to let those moving forwards a clear path.

Please stay calm he announces to the other passengers. We're Starfinders .... please stay in your seats.

diplomacy: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13

He activates his Starfinder insignia implant to prove it.


Pinkie shines his Starfinder implant and does his best to calm the panicking passengers. His words mostly are unheeded, but enough of the passengers listen to keep the movement mostly unimpeded. Antares gets up from her seat and looks back and forth. She quickly identifies the controls at the far end of the car (about 120 ft away) and begins to head towards them. Popper looks about for anything out of place, and quickly realizes that all of the androids and robots on board the train are out of sorts.

Detail I just now noticed. Since Kaladyne indicated she was standing for the ride, she can make a DC 10 reflex save to keep her balance as the train moves forward. Failure and she'll be staggered for round 1, pass and she begins the encounter on her feet and ready to roll.

Round 1:
Antares-1 (30 ft towards the head of the train)
Twila-5 (Seated, Will save pending)
Pinkiee (Standing, calming passengers)
Popper (Standing, searched)
Haldir (Seated)
Kaladyne (Reflex or staggered)

Despite the discussion Kaladyne was caught in an inopportune moment as she shifted to check her comms looking for new emails. Without a grip she is thrown and staggering for a moment as she collects herself.

She listens to Antares with a nod and makes chase alongside. "Do you know who is causing this? I rather know who the rival is here!"

Slow to start but builds up speed as she gets past the various passengers.

Staggered, move 40 feet toward head of train as move action.

Haldir feels the rock of the train, and knows something is up, especially as a couple of his fellow Starfinders stagger or suffer mental effects.

"First things first, I must keep the citizens under control!" thinks Haldir to himself.

Move Action He stands up on the seat he was sitting on, so he can address the crowd somewhat.

"Citizens, there are a group of Starfinders on this train, everything is going to be perfectly fine and we will protect you. Please remain seating as to not to interfere with our work. We thank you for your co-operation."

Right! Popper sends. I think Antares is onto something. All the robots and androids are affected by... whatever that was! Let's hustle! He starts moving toward the front of the train.

Standard action will be to move 30 ft toward the front.

I added the android's +2 bonus vs. mind affecting effects.

Blinking rapidly as she forces her mind to clear, Twila-5 warns the nearby Starfinders: "Any androids and robots on this train may be controlled. Watch them carefully." She then rises to follow Antares-1. I hope we can stop this, but I also want to know where we're going. To crash, or to a location? --Focus! No time for daydreaming!


The train continues to go faster and faster, and the passengers, while momentarily paused by the confidence of Haldir and Pinkiee don't seem to have any confidence whatsoever that this situation is 'under control' and appear to be mere moments from a full panic. At least for the moment the aisle isn't blocked...

Round 2... train is going faster:
Antares-1 (90 ft away from controls)
Twila-5 (90 ft away from controls)
Pinkiee (120 ft away from controls)
Popper (90 ft away from controls)
Haldir (120 ft away from controls)
Kaladyne (80 ft away from controls)

Is the aisle clear enough to run at x4 speed? Her move is 30'.

Kaladyne continues to hustle her way to the end, pausing a moment to appraise Pinklee's appearance to see if he could actually perform that bit of safety to protect passengers.

She turns away and doesn't show a desire to test it as she rushes down to end with Twila and Antares. "You both seem to have same spirit! Quick race to the end and let's see what the next leg in this is going to be."

Double moving 80 feet if possible with 40 foot base speed.

Popper starts to fall behind the others, not being terribly athletic himself. This is what he gets for spending all his free time growing herbs and spices instead of jogging. I'll get there eventually! he huffs, somehow managing to sound out of breath via telepathy. Just keep going... almost there...

Double move.


Pinkiee isn't quite able to restore faith in the starfinders, but carries enough authority to let his compatriots rush the controls before the passengers begin to scream. Kaladyne is the first to get to the control panel and finds the emergency stop controls, however they are currently locked out.

Aisle isn't clear enough for a run, but with a double move and pinkie controlling the crowd, you'll be within a move and a standard of the controls anyways.

Anyone at the controls can attempt a computers check as a standard action to unlock them.

Round 2... train is going faster:
Antares-1 (30 ft away from controls)
Twila-5 (30 ft away from controls)
Pinkiee (90 ft away from controls)
Popper (90 ft away from controls)
Haldir (120 ft away from controls)

Kaladyne (At the controls)

Haldir admires Pinkiee's work and will try to assist.

Popper slows down, realizing he actually isn't good with computers at all so he has no idea what he'd do to stop the train. Instead, he sends to everyone nearby, Yes, it's alright! We'll get this sorted shortly, just stay calm please!

Also going to aid the Diplomacy check. I suspect we got as much success as we can get, but Popper literally can't really do anything else to help, he has no ranks in Computers. :S

Diplomacy (aid): 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Popper unfortunately sometimes forgets that not everyone likes strange voices suddenly appearing in their heads, and probably didn't help the situation at all.


The train continues to speed up, clearly faster than this stretch of track is rated. It begins to wobble with each curve, barely remaining on the track.

Haldir and Popper attempt to guide the passengers to assume the position rather than run and scream, but are barely given a moment's notice. At the very least, nobody tries to trample Haldir, and the rest of the crew has a clear shot to the cockpit.

Anyone who moves up to the controls can attempt the following check as a standard action

Computers DC 18:
The controls are locked against casual usage, however they use the standard public transit password. You quickly switch the mode from automatic to manual, unlocking the physical braking system. Someone can now attempt a Computers or Engineering check to stop this train.

Round 3... train is getting wobboly:
Antares-1 (30 ft away from controls)
Twila-5 (30 ft away from controls)
Pinkiee (90 ft away from controls)
Popper (90 ft away from controls)
Haldir (120 ft away from controls)
Kaladyne (At the controls)

Sprinting to the controls, Twila-5 barely manages to stop without toppling onto the floor as the train jerks. Quickly, she digs her trapsmith's tools and sets to work on the lock.

Which skill would I use to pick a lock? Also, she has engineering tools if it's a digital lock.


It's the computers check.

Kaladyne unfortunatly doesn't have Computers. I'll need to leave that check so someone more trained than myself.

Kaladyne searches the front of the train for mechanical overrides. "Hoping someone was paranoid enough to add an manual control here somewhere. One of you take on the computer system, I was never in the running for this."

Perception to Search: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 19

"PEOPLE! PLEASE CALM YOURSELVES! OR ELSE!" Haldir screams, positively terrified of being trampled.

Intimidate to avoid being crushed: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (20) + 3 = 23

Antares moves up and analyzes the controls, trying to determine the problem even as she tries to keep her balance due to the increased wobbling.

Computer Check: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (2) + 9 = 11

Unfortunately, either the distractions are too much for her input sensors or this situation is beyond her knowledge.

Ugh. Bad roll... not sure if we can make another one next round.


You can retry until the train crashes, and others can still try/retry.

Popper hangs out and thinks positive thoughts.

Not much use here. I guess he can sort of place himself in the aisle to block people from crowding the front of the train while Antares works their magic?

Twila-5 has +6 on Computers, so will try next round unless someone else is successful first.

Pinkiee assumes the position to act as a living shock absorber across the corridor.

Sounds good, will wait until the next 'round' is up before rolling again. Twila, figuring either we can each take a crack at it ourselves, or you could assist Antares (with the +9 modifier.) I'm good either way, since so often I see the 'assistant' roll better than the one making the roll! Also, two separate attempts would perhaps give us a better chance of success - assuming we can each roll during the same round? I think you're within a single move of the controls, so unless only one attempt can be made, I think you can also try a Computers check this round. Is that correct, GM?


Yes, she can attempt this round as well. I'll open up the next round of actions, but Twila can make her round 3 check as well.

Antares tries to log in with admin//admin, but to no avail. Kaladyne quickly locates the manual controls and keeps her hands on them ready to pull as soon as the lock is disengages. Will be engineering or computers to use the manual controls once they are unlocked.

Haladir attempts to scare the commuters into keeping their distance and Popper and Pinkey keep themselves strategically positioned to keep them from getting in the way of the tech crew.

The wobbling of the train gets harsher and harsher, with sudden jolts as it scrapes on the side walls a couple of times... it's now or never!

Round 4... uh oh...:
Antares-1
Twila-5 (Round 3 standard + Round 4 full)
Pinkiee
Popper
Haldir
Kaladyne

Pinkiee braces for impact - and multiple smaller impacts.
