"I think that's all of them. Job well done again, Starfinders. I'll have to be sure to report your deeds to Chiskisk when we get back."
Before you can leave, the station's security shows up to take reports of what happened and clean up the mess.
"Looks like you're all mostly unharmed for the most part. The mall rats are not usually that aggressive, even around here. Some new drug is going around, making them more aggressive lately. We got to run. There's an active crime scene a few sections over from here."
While security talks to you, you have time to rest and recover before heading back to the lore tower complex.
As your heading north to the highspeed elevators to leave the spike, you see a cobbled-together robot with a coat of green paint haphazardly splashed over it and jolts of electricity surges coming from its joints. Farther back, you spot several space goblins watching to see what happens.

Naitier doesn't have a weapon ready to take advantage of the opportunity, but with the robot distracted with Triage, the copaxi unleashes the thrumming spell from their body. The spell signature shatters at the blast of force fires into the robot point blank.
They then draw a knife and move to aid Ikmanji in the melee. Naitier pushes close allow the lingering, searing heat around the body to continue to burn the robot.
Naitier risk a spell at close range. Luckily, the robot is unable to respond, and the spells force blast the robot. Sparks fly, and more armor falls off the robot, but it still stands...

The robot spins out of control, electrical sparks flashing from all its joints. Picks a target at random, slams out at Ikmanji, and misses.

You return to the Lorespire Complex to meet with Chiskisk
"Welcome back, Ambassador Kokaksa. I hope our team of Starfinder here were able to give you a satisfactory tour?"
Before speaking, Ambassador Kokaksa looks over, acknowledging everyone on the team individually with a nod.
"I must say it's been a very exciting tour. To start with, the auto-tour ship I rented turned out to be infested with glitch gremlins. Your Starfinders here had no problem ridding the ship of the infestation and even overriding the auto controls, allowing Valodet to pilot the ship and prevent a collision, as Naitier and Triage fixed the glitching weapons system preventing a misfiring. Ikmanji quickly identified the gremlins. Grognard, Naitier, and Valodet all fought well, with I-apvii finishing off the last gremlin.
Your Starfinders here also prevented our lunch break from becoming a trip to the hospital for me. Triage on the fly was able to make a cure for an unknown allergy I have. Valodet talked the chef into giving us our meals for free. Which, by the way, was one of the best meals I have ever had.
Next, working together, the team was able to tack, trap and tame a Squox for our new space station on Neeroon. Ikmanji spotted the tracks, Triage improvised a trap, and Naitier's diplomacy helped avoid a conflict with the groundskeepers. Grognard made a leash for the Squox, and I-apvii and Ikmanji calmed the startled squox.
This fine group of Starfinders did a marvelous job of protecting me and my souvenir from a gang of mall rats. Valodet's knowledge of the station led to some great bargain shopping. I-apvii and Grognard both distinguish themselves in combat. With Ikmanji, I-apvii, and Valodet finishing off the last mall rats.
Last but not least, we encountered a gang of space goblins with a stolen patrol-class security robot. Triage, whom I hadn't expected to be the heroic type, proved me wrong. First by pushing me out of the way to take a shot for me, and next, he risked getting hit while rushing to save Puppy's life. Finally, Triage risked getting hit again to get a point-blank range shot off to take down the robot. For this, I'd like to give Triage the Neeroon medal of distinguished service. In this last fight, Triage did not act alone. The whole team did their share of the fighting. Grognard was able to take down three goblins with a single shot. I-apvii, after seeing Puppy near death, struck back at the robot with the most impressive flurry of hard-hitting blows. The rest of the team all bravely pitched in, chipping away at the robot's thick armor. For this, I'd like to give the rest of the team the Neeroon service metal. Ware these in Neeroon, and you will get a hero's welcome.
Without any further concern, I would like to sign the formal agreement immediately in the presence of this fine team of Starfinders. Clearly, the Starfinder Society is an organization worth trusting"

Naitier dismisses their searing fire as they let themselves relax. "We should contact station security. I rather not have random attacks on the station be common."
When before Chiskisk with the Ambassador speaking about their efforts, Naitier holds themselves with a bit of pride hearing the positive impression they had left. "If there are any others from Neeroon that arrive, I will treat them with the same respect and trust that the Society offered me when I first arrived. The Society and the Pact Worlds have been welcoming and I'm glad we continued to demonstrate to you today."

Grognard grunts. "Ah just yelled at em and they fell over... they'll be fine..."
Donkey, still a bit mopey from the Squox encounter is fairly quiet during the debrief, and Grognard goes back to consoling her. "Come on lassie... ah promised she was nae gonna replace you! You're with me till ye decide ye want to stay back at the ranch!"
