Bin Sang and Se'Artu return to the Pacifier to see what they managed to download.
While the robot was downloading the computer files, Bin Sang had found a cling fire pistol.
He had also survived the mission so gained 3XP, making him up to 6XP.
"So let's see what you downloaded," Bin Sang says to his partner but before the robot has a chance to upload the files into the ship's computer, the alarm sounds (campaign event coming up) - the life support system on the ship is failing and needs upgrading badly. That'll cost 5 credits, which is more than they have so they are stuck on the planet until they raise some more funds.
Meanwhile, as Bin Sang is making the necessary adjustments to the ship, he notices a stranger loitering outside the ship. He grasps his gun and goes to investigate - it's the local Evri delivery person who gives him a parcel. It's a gift from an anonymous well-wisher (Character event!) - a mysterious tract (a personal item - 3 story points!) Bin Sang
Bin Sang is baffled. Now they have a whole series of computer files and some strange writings to decipher.
So what do we know:-
- Kunda Kah of the Council of Elders employed Bin Sang and his crew to deliver a package.
- Se'Artu has downloaded a number of files from the Council of Elders' computer system pertaining to that mission.
- The delivery address also had a quantity of crates with the logo of Ravenlow Inc stencilled on them.
- An anonymous person has sent Bin Sang a tract.
I'm going to go a little off-piste here and have a look at the oracles of Ironsworn:Starforged to see what the tract is about - Manipulate/Fellowship - and what the computer files tell them - Mechanical/Blockade.
Well, they work well together.
As Bin Sang reads the tract entitled "A Better Way", he soon realises that the unknown author is not happy with the way that the planet is being run and proposes that the Council be deposed and replaced by a more democratic party. From the observations and criticisms made, Bin Sang surmises that the writer has inside information.
The files downloaded from the console include correspondence concerning the hiring of a band of mercenary bots to assist in the "upholding of law and order" by the rounding up of any suspected insurrectionists.
Bin Sang doesn't like the sound of this. The planet could be on the verge of civil war but, because of the faulty life support system and lack of funds, he can't escape the situation. Secretly, he also wonders what Se'Artu, a combat droid "at a loose end", was really doing hanging around the bar. Does he have any links to the mercenaries?
Meanwhile how is Sona Bah doing?
