On the Doorstep of a Friend

A few days after Ramiel gets back to Eldon Well, he will hear an acoustic guitar playing out on his front porch.

Upon hearing the music, Ramiel walked out on to the porch wearing nothing but a pair of faded jeans and see who is playing.

As he steps out the door, he sees the familar long blond hair pulled back in a pony tail of Sholto. Even hearing the door open, Sholto continues to keep playing.

“Do you know ‘Wayward Son’?” Ramiel asked as he leaned against the railing.

Strange Happenings in NeoYork

Gretchen Hamilton – INN

The Bromberg Exchange is one of the oldest interplanetary distributers of rare earths and precious metal in the Northeast, if not the Western Hemisphere and beyond.  Their security is top notch, their reputation flawless.  It is not surprising then that they waited until yesterday to report a theft from one of their secure transfer facilities on Long Island that took place over a month ago.

Session 3 Afterward #1

Ms. Sakura had left for her offices with Lake’s offer in mind, a pleasent smile was on her face, one of acceptance she had not anticipated. Lake now had to discuss the situation with the others. Crusader was due back shortly.

Deciding to go straight to Crusader, whom she thought would put the offer before the team or not as he so chose, Lake went to find Crusader and tell him a little of what she’d learned. Remaining sensitive to Sakura’s need for discretion regarding her situation, she decided to inform Crusader of the nature of things, and let him decide whether he needed to know more or not.

Journal Entry

Summary for Session 3, September 25, 2008.

The strike against the pirates that attacked Shackleton Station went well. At Crusader’s order, I utilized Proximus power and my own to infiltrate the enemy ship. Once I was able to knock out a crew member (a pilot, I believe), I was able to move about at my own discretion. It took me less than 25 minutes to determine the layout of the ship and where the alien was being held.

Contacting Crusader, however, cost me my cover and brought Servius and his crew down on me. Unfortunately, I have discovered that I’m highly sensitive to fire-based attack — when I attempted to engage him, he used his powers, which were somehow enhanced mechanically, and took me out.
