The chronicle looks good.
And thanks a lot for running this Aerondor! I enjoyed playing with all of you (and am definitely curious where this plotline may be going)

Yes, we certainly weren't expecting for Corpse Fleet members to also be looking around the beacon. Bluuuuu broadcasts concerned. Hopefully it was just a coincidence, but we can't count on that. Racing with the corpse fleet for a lost treasure, I have a very bad feeling about that... The barathu is also taken aback by Radaszam's news about the Dataphiles leader. First Jadnura, now Historia-7. It seems a lot of faction leaders are going on sabbaticals lately. He looks at the vesk. I hope if you need to take some vacation days you will feel secure enough to let us know in advance Radaszam. I would not wish to worry about you.
There was A beacon as well, but the information within was significant. Bluuuuu adds. The Crypt Warden did not have the resources to be able to fully decipher it.
Of course Sefel. I would not want to disappoint you for
Bluuuuu takes the opportunity to fire the Laser Net from point blank range then, leaving the Plasma cannon to Chivix. for I am not sure if we have had an excellent scan yet. the barathu exclaims. But they do see remarkably similar to us. And if that is the case, I think their rear may be quite exposed.
Sounds good to me Bluuuuu replies as he digs deep into his Resolve and fires a Broadside of his attached nuclear launcher and their ship's laser net. for
Of course Donovan. Bluuuuu replies as he carefully aims before firing again. for
Following Chivix’s lead, Bluuuuu has a nuke loaded into the turret’s launcher and shoots out the missile, watching as it races towards the opposing ship.
Still seems good to me. The turret is replaced with a Tactical Nuclear Missile Launcher. Given Chivix is a better gunner than Bluuuuu, I'd advise he take the forward arc each round (assuming they're in that arc). Also don't forget that if you are level 8, you get a bonus Resolve Point to use in this combat! (oft forgotten part of Starship combat rules)
That is entirely reasonable. Bluuuuu broadcasts. There may be more of these creatures in the fog. He helps Chivix pore over the fallen figures, but hesitates as he looks at the augments. Removing such plating would be grisly work in the field. And impossible to do respectfully. Chivix: can you assist me with grabbing them and bringing them back to our vessel? They can be interred properly when we return to Absalom Station.
Seeing his chains ineffective and brand new too but frag blasts appearing to wound the creatures, Bluuuuu drops his weapon and draws out his old reliable tactical spear. The barathu's tentacle's surge as he redircets mass to his muscles and stabs at the nearby beast.
for What are these things? he calls back to the others as the cleared fog grants him a good look at their attackers for the first time.
Bluuuuu remains unable to make out the party’s attackers through the fog, but he know the direct the assaults came from. The Barathu advances west until a shape looms out right before him. In response, the soldier strikes out with his chains.

Do we think this is what Radazam was having us seek? Bluuuuu glances to the party members with a better grasp of analyzing the beacon now in front of them.
As he spies the bodies, Bluuuuu motions for the others to be careful. It is possible they are also not fully dead. Allow me. The barathu approaches closer, seeing if the bodies spring to life while trying to examine them to see how they died.
—-
I believe so. Bluuuuu says, triple-checking his own as well. Wait the barathu says. Did we confirm there was nothing in the cargo holds?
Multiple radiation seals disabled though... Bluuuuu worries. that is not a coincidence. An EMP blast perhaps? Or ghosty gremlins? The solider tries to make Sefel more comfortable, but is disheartened that he did not properly prepare for this. Turning to Donovan, he asks. The material you grabbed. I hope it is worthwhile given the cost.
Seeing Sefel start to look dangerously unwell, Bluuuuu's first thought is to usher him out into the hall to get a better look at the lashunta. Careful Sefel. get some air. The barathu looks at the others. Does anyone have any Rad-Out on them?
Then allow me Bluuuuu responds to Jackojare as he moves forwards to try and determine what he can about the fallen figure.
Better to not be part of nobility then. Bluuuuu follows Chivix to the Central space
The barathu drifts about the port-side room before joining Sefel across the ship. This crew seemed to love quite austerely. Or everything of value may have been salvaged to try and survive. Perhaps the Engine room may tell another story?
I know that it was my idea Bluuuuu admits sheepishly But perhaps instead of moving quickly through the ship to one place or another we should sweep it more methodically? To follow his own advice (again), the barathu floats to the port-side crew quarters (B)
There is still a size able chunk of the ship to explore. Bluuuuu says, editing towards the door. We should make sure nothing else has risen.
It is very difficult to tell if a barathu is furrowing their brow (the lack of a brow is the first problem), but Bluuuuu thinks hard at Sefel's counter. The logs seemed to imply there was a beacon away from the ship they were implanting an SOS into. If two crew memebrs went out to it, I would guess they knew where it was. But maybe it is a different beacon than the one we are thinking of. Or they were desperate enough to wander guessing. I may have assumed too much.
Sad and unfortunate. Bluuuuu says as he moves over to read the logs. But it seems as though they were looking for Rasheen's beacon too. He looks towards the techmage. Are there any records or coordinates about where the other two crew members set out for towards the beacon device?
I hope not. Bluuuuu replies as he drifts back towards the others. Given the size of the shuttle, the crew may have been sizable. Don, Sefel: I can see blood on your armor. Perhaps we should secure this room and compose ourselves. If there are more ghosts that will be an issue, but we can bar the doors against any of the undead with bodies.
Indeed. Bluuuuu replies to the vanguard as he swings his own weapon at the spirit. We could have tried to help you, but it seems you wish only violent responses. for
Bluuuuu steps into the adjoining hall as the barathu lashes out twice with his chains. for
Hearing shouts and gunfire from the direction of the bridge, Bluuuuu about-faces and floats back to where he just left. Seeing Don being assaulted by a spectral...thing, the barathus continues to hurry forwards, calling out to the human. Go: I will keep the spirit occupied!
I am not sure. What sort of marks would... Bluuuuu's question is cut off as the strange sound echoes about. Spinning in the air, the barathu tries to locate the source of the noise.
Hey, RL issues are always more important. I hope you and yours weren’t hurt too bad by the storm (beyond just the power)
Bluuuuu swings his chains to the north of Chivix. for
I am unfortunately presuming you are one of the crew of this ship? Bluuuuu tries to get a response from the undead even as he striks it. Do you have a name? Was there a task this ship was doing that could put you to rest?
Bluuuuu takes the suppression system's blast full on, but the barathu manages to moves forwards nonetheless to block the doorway and prevent the corpse-thing from reaching his staggered comrades. Drawing out his new chains as he moves, the solider stabs at the undead while calling out Oh well. The odds the next abandoned ship is not haunted went up then. Now, what is this thing? for
While Sefel focuses on the ship's computers, Bluuuuu examines the gory signs left behind, trying to determine how fresh the blood is - and is the trail indicates someone crawled away themselves, or seems to have been dragged by an outside force.
Do not worry. Statistically speaking, eventually Starfinder agents like us should eventually come across a downed vessel that is not haunted, merely the new home to a local species. Bluuuuu broadcasts to set Sefel at ease. His delivery needs work
It's possible Rasheen may have had sponsership. Bluuuuu thinks to the rest of you. Or, far more likely, we may not be the only parties interested in following her footsteps. As Sefel and the others recover, the barathu directs a tentacle to the hallway twisting west. Should we head toward the bridge? See if there are records for who was aboard, and why they were here?
Vehicles are one of those things I’ve always meant to take a closer look at to see the interesting stuff you can do with it
I should look into investing in a transport vehicle... Bluuuuu laments as he takes another blast of frigid cold-magma
My concern is the elements. Bluuuuu says. The barathu is worried. If you fall I will carry you and protect you as well as I can Sefel. But we are exposed here. Quite dangerously so. Even as he thinks the soldier sees Bugface’s helmet start to crack. Bugface! Here, let me help...
I don’t think it is too much - ow - farther
Bluuuuu shivers even within the confines of his armor. This terrain is miserable, and the barathu quickly realizes its unlikely anyone would have been able to long survive in the crashed ship even if they lived through the impact. Still, he moves with caution through the fog.
Ack! Is all he can get out as the sudden crash of ice causes the solider to flail.
Charged, yes. A planar breach is an odd thing though. Is there a 'Plane of Cold'? Or maybe just the arctic spot of Elysium or Abbadon. Either way, you are right Donovan. Best to treat this mission like we have limited time. Let us land as close as we can Jackojare, then head out fast to the crash site.
I did not notice anything.[/ib] Bluuuuu says, concerned. [b]Though if there is a wrecked starship there, perhaps it sent out a distress flare? Maybe that could have triggered this ship's readings. He looks out through the viewscreens at Aratosim beyond. What sort of world are we looking at below?
