Celebrate with a night out without the kids (also the same if you don't have kids)!!
Belated greetings to Arc.
Sorry I've been away, but I'm not really feeling it with Solaria at the moment. That plus my new job are taking their toll on this game.

Solaria examines the remains of some creature.
She looks up from the mess, wiping her hands clean, "I gotta clean this up soon, whatever this thing was in life, it certainly seems to have had life after death too. Glad I didn't see it wandering around, some sort of grey leathery skin or something. I don't know why I come away on these trips, the universe is turning out to be an extremely dirty and disgusting place once you leave civilisation. Not at all like the what I saw in the bibliotech. Now its just dust, grime, death, undeath, gore.... really it needs cleaning up." Angrily she gets up and looks at the rest of you, "OK, bit of grime do you want to show me next?"
I forgot to say I'm outta reach, camping and watching motorbike for the next few days, back Monday or Tuesday.
"Could be Arc, or his is trapped and the bodies have been removed once the trap has been sprung. Did you not hear the sound as we came down. we must tread carefully." Solaria says in a serious tone. As she looks for anything in the red light that might provide some sort of cover.
"Sydney, those eggs sure make a mess, I've only just cleaned up, now you're making an omelette on the floor. Solaria says complaining, "Let me tidy it up, then we'll go." Once the cleaning is complete, Solaria checks her batteries and her torch lights. "Ready when you are, lights on. Let me know when it's my turn to go down. Should we drop a flare down first "
Bit confused, I thought we were going for 8 hours rest, before we start heading off down the trap door?
As Solaria cleans up the area, she strips the body of all it's clothing and lays them out to be searched, whilst she gets the body ready for a ceremonial disposal. As she does she scans the body for any foreign objects, tech and biotech parts, then clean the surface of the cadaver. "I mean, I don't fancy this thing decomposing any more than it has too, once ready we can let it slide to it's god in the comfort of the acid lake. See nice and tidy, no mess." Once the place is cleaned up and they have no need to stay in the area Solaria says, "It would be so good to get back to the comfort of the ship, cleanse ourselves of the grim of this place. Let's give this poor soul a start to judgement, can someone slide the body into the lake."
Solaria looks dismayed at the dead alien creature, "How come the whole universe is out to kill us." as her body shakes before she can regain control. Looking at Arc and Isu she smiles weakly, "How are you guys, Arc you look terrible, is there anything we can do to help." a tear forms in her eye, dropping slowly down inside her suit helmet. "We could do with cleaning up here, I mean I know it's a cavern in the middle of no-where, but we could make it home for a while. I mean we all need a rest after that. Let me try and remove the debris, I mean I don't want to touch it, but we must have something we can use." She continues to talk to herself, moving aimlessly about the cavern, but staying close to her friends.
Solaria once more tries to distract the nasty creature, "I'm gonna get you, you slimething!" she shouts as she takes aim.
Thanks for the botting GM.
After watching the success of her distraction previously, Solaria quickly moves towards the beast, "Now you just let go of Isu!" she shouts like her old teachers used to shout at her. At the same time making out to shoot once more.
OOOhhh! ... I really enjoyed my time in Virginia on holiday, going round the battlefields and stuff ... my son even has Made in the USA stamped across his @#*@# ... Virginia Beach was a nice place for my wife and I to spend a few days ... :-)
Solaria runs across towards Arc and the monstrous thing, shouting as she does, "Come get me mother of death, as I rain my death on your pathetic offsping...or you" Holding her weapon high, she feigns to fire at the large creature.
Clever Feint: CLEVER FEINT As a standard action, you can fake out an enemy within 60 feet, making that enemy open to your attacks. Attempt a Bluff check with the same DC as a check to feint against that enemy (though this isn’t a standard check to feint, so Improved Feint and Greater Feint don’t apply). Even if you fail, that enemy is flat-footed against your attacks until the end of your next turn. If you succeed, the enemy is also flat-footed against your allies’ attacks until the end of your next turn. You can’t use clever feint against a creature that lacks an Intelligence score. FEINT
Didn't watch his band tho, because one of the golden oldies bands, Lindisfarne, was playing on a different stage. A band of my youth...
Just getting back to a normal after the Festival. Had a drink with Kiefer Sutherland and an interview for a job whilst in a changing room. Quite a weekend, also had interview yesterday when I was dog tired after the festival close down drinks. Will post tomorrow.
Working at Wickham Festival from now til Sunday night, back Monday. No posting tile Monday, bot as required.
Last break of summer is never good news..... Unless it's quickly followed by first break of autumn (fall)
"Arc, I'll keep a watch on that cave, you finish what you have to do in there. Call me if you need me and don't worry I'll call you all if more of those things come this way. We're still using channel 6 for urgent communications yes. I'm all set to go then." She finds a spot by the entrance, that she can settle down comfortably and difficult to spot. She covers her suit in the dust from the surrounding ground, blending into the scenery as much as possible.
Solaria follows the creatures as it leaves the building of the dead, taking up a position as lookout by the entrance. "Let's hope it's gone for good, I didn't like the way it spilled Isu's blood. And I sure don't like the idea of meeting it's parents."
Don't let the buggers grind you down, we all have bad days and we all have good days, so next up ... a good day .. :-)
Solaria screams out to Isu, "Move out of their way, don't let them surround you." At that she sends two shots at one of the creatures, . However as she shouts, her aim is disrupted and she shakes her head, "I don't know, these guns are really difficult to aim, oh, I wish I could do more to help Isu."
Hearing the commotion from inside the building, Solaria enters the building, pulling out her pistol and shooting at the nearest bat creature (yellow). "Bats, what are they? I'm sure I've seen something like them before. If only I could remember."
At Ted's notion of getting your mind devoured, Solaria takes a short step back, "Can't say the sound of that appeals, got another option Ted? If you get your mind shredded like that guy, you'll make even less sense. she giggles, until she realises the danger they are putting themselves in and quickly clams up, slightly red-faced. After a moments pause, she adds "A Dome has always felt like a friendly shape, though no doubt that will change. So we might as well go for the dome. Yes, Die in Another Dome .. a great holofilm. Hope we're as lucky." she tries to raise her spirits at the prospect.
"Really this just doesn't make a lot of sense, what ever is here seems to have made the creature mad, insane. What gibberish towards the end of his days, except the last words. What does it mean?" Solaria asks shaking her head unknowingly. As she does, she kneels by the body putting her hands on the gouges?
Solaria will defer for the corona laser pistol, for someone that is a better shot, she will obviously like to upgrade her azimuth laser pistol, but only at an appropriate time.
Solaria will waive the Estex suit 2 to let those that fight take it. She should have a lashunta tempweave from the loot we got before, if not she will take Sydney's if she get the Estex 2
When Solaria joins the others, she takes the journal and tries to make sense it's contents written in a strange language. "I've not come across this language very often, only seen it in some text books. Let's see if I can see what its trying to say."
Solaria runs across the open space, "Hope I can get up these cliffs in this atmosphere!" she wonders.
Solaria says a few words of encouragement to Isu, as she ducks for covers.
Solaria makes sure her suit is working as it should be, before she exits the craft onto this new rock in space. Watching Isu, she too starts to take gigantic steps, "Way to go Isu." As the first few fun jumps increase her merriment, it is soon clouded, This rock is just like the first rock where we found fame and fortune. As her mind darkens, But now we are star-jumps away from our friends, the Diaspora is black and cold and deadly. And we still have a bunch of suicidal cultists intent on destroying us and the universe. If that weren't enough we have pirates and undead playing silly games. Have courage Solaria, you can do it. A bead of sweat drips from her brow, as the hairs on her arms shiver with the cool of the rock. Her voice quivers as she says to Isu, "I'll follow you Isu."
Hope you all enjoyed the 4th of July and wake up with a clear mind today ... ;-)
"Don't worry Sydney, we'll meet them again and next time I'm sure you'll get a chance to play with your skills, until then let's move on carefully to the burger joint and devour a few cultists and chips. Now let's just see what help they've been." she as the engineers to check the file for any malicious intent and then puts the map onto the visual panel. "Sydney, can you see the chart, can we scan the area before we announce our arrival? Let's not walk straight into a trap."
Solaria's antennae flap around as she stops herself falling about laughing as Spectre takes the reins of the negotiations, "To be fair the last members of the Devourers cult we met, have gone to meet their god, even though they didn't seem quite ready to do that. It seems they are on a mission to destroy the galaxy and may have the means to do it. We're here to stop them, because this is where their signal was sent. So we might expect to find them here soon, so if you have information that might help you can, of course you could give us the information to speed us on our way and then just follow us to pick up the pieces, should we meet an unfortunate end." She smiles at the captain, her face full of friendliness.
this is what I'd like to say .... but Solaria hasn't said it.: "I'll tell you what we've got, we have a fully armed weapon trained on you, and some tough old fashioned veterans ready to unleash hell!! Solaria winks at Sydney. "So as has been explained by our friend, your pirating days are over or you leave now and don't bother us again Captain Alera Okwana. Fire when ready!!"
Go Spectre Go! it's all set up for ya!!
"Spectre, if you can run any sort of program that would activate some anti-scanning device, it sure would be helpful. Oh, and shields up, as they say. Get ready to fire on these vagabonds" Solaria opens up the communications channel to the other ship, "Good day fellow independents, have you come to help us take on the Eoxian threat and share the spoils? There are sure to be riches enough for a couple of captains. We are going after some Eoxian renegades that were last reported in this sector. You haven't come across any on your scanners have you?" She puts her feet up on the console, Sydney style, but without the panache, looking at the comms channel visuals to see who answers the call. As the visuals are shown, Solaria's antennae twitch as she telepathically gets Spectre's attention asking him if he recognises or knows the captains on the screen Before continuing, "I know you don't mean your actions to be aggressive, but some captains might take them that way, so I suggest you behave more reasonably and stop skulking in the shadows and power down your weapons, and allow a parlez. It would be a shame to destroy an ally, but we WILL do it if you persist."
"What, but we only just got here? Can you make out what type of craft it is? Do they appear aggressive? Should we hail them and have a little chat?" Solaria asks, somewhat confused by the attentions being given to them already. She wanders around opening her datapad to find out more information, "Can you put the visuals on the screen." Soloria asks as she starts the sequence to activate shields, her fingers nimbly entering the codes required to activate the voice overrides. "It might be best if we know what we're dealing with, before we start a conversation, then at least we might not put our foot in it and suddenly make them come at us." Solaria asks the more scientifically able members of the party, Perhaps I should have taken more notice of the spacecraft types when I was at the learning centre, but then there were the model makers who created those holomodels. They always seemed to know stuff straight of about the different craft, Oh well she sighed.
Sorry, I've got to find a job, which takes up my time on the computer and takes my energies away from the game. It's like I just look at the job boards waiting for jbs to come by, it's not what I thought would happen. I'm not so good between books either, thats in any pbp and other games. I will have to do better.
Solaria splutters and coughs as Arc explains her position on the craft, her cheeks grow intense in colour as she tries to gain control of herself again. She splutters out, "I'm only captain because I can't do anything else, not like the rest of the crew, they really are good. We're in Sydney's hands really." She cracks a weak smile and continues to eat some kaduu steak, a lashunta speciality. Between mouthfuls she repeats the known adversaries they may meet, "Parates ... talk if we can..... Eoxians...just trouble...Devourers...devils incarnate .... nothing much then ..." She shrugs her shoulders, hoping that she can be of some help, but not confident.
In the discussions with Chiskisk, Solaria introduces Ralkawi, "Whilst on the expedition we rescued Ralkawi, who had in her loneliness become embroiled with the cult. Since we have known her she has seen the error of her ways and I think she could become a good Starfinder, in some capacity or another. With the experiences she had in the jungle of Castrovel, she might even make a Starfinder agent. Would you take her into the Starfinder induction programme and find a place where her skills would benefit the society? She may very well be worth it." ...... As the discussion moves onto the chasing the signal, Solaria asks what are the major hazards in the Diaspora region that we should be aware of, over and above the knowledge we can find on the infosphere. Are the land masses full of radio active material, who holds sway over the Diaspora region? Are there any Starfinder outposts there? Following up with any analysis that the Starfinders have done on the ancient language, the writings and symbols.
Before we leave Castrovel, Solaria will make a final attempt to persuade Ralkawi to join them on the trip to Absalom Station so that she can enter the Starfinders entry program. She apologies profusely at not keeping in touch with her, but when she was so excited about being back with her family and friends on Castrovel that she quite forgot her responsibilities.
If she joins the ship to Absolom Station, Solaria will do her best to keep with Ralwaki and boost her confidence and discuss the Starfiders Society with her. Even if she doesn't become a field agent, Solaria will endeavour to get her an administrative role.
Solaria gets back from her time spent with her family and old school friends in which she goes over her recent history, much to the shock and horror of her parents, but with gasps and respect from her old friends. This leads to lots of partying with her friends and some embellishment of the truth about the group's activities in the jungle. She is proud to tell family that she has been given an honorarium from the Qabarat University, which goes some way to alleviate their fears for their daughter's well being. Her last act is to show her parents around the Sunrise Maiden and introduce them to Sydney as Sydney supervise some repairs. Finally she gives them hugs and waves them goodbye as she departs for the spaceport on her way back once more to Absalom Station.
Apologies, no excuses just wasn't up on my priorities list and kinda lost my way. Back on Monday with regular posting.

Solaria winks at Isu, "Perhaps Spectre would like to follow Sarenrae as his new master. I'd suggest it to him, but it might be best if you ask him." She smiles and giggles slightly as she moves over to inspect the items treasures retrieved in the fight with the cultists.
Solaria might be able to use Arc old light armour, she's not gonna get in a fight if she can help..... Not sure what Arc's old armour is though ..
Forgot, can you credit 12784-701 Uploki with a Starfinder cert, thanks.
I want to continue, I'm really liking the game and the party. Well up for Book 3. I will do my best to post daily, though while we're on the subject I will be away and not posting July 31st-August 5 and Aug 22-26. Apart from that should be good.
Solaria shrugs at Isu's words and sighs sweetly, before turning to Spectre, "Did you hear that Spectre, some financial reward for all our work here. I'll help you with the algorithms." She gets the datapad out and enters some firewall key values and algorithms to quicken the search to find a way in.
Solaria follows Ted over, pointing to the port and helping with accessing the device. She watches as Ted delves into the unit and asks, "So Ted, found anything interesting in the unit, did Tahomen use it already? What has he been up to, are there any messages we can find?"
