Traveller Session 11

Once all are aboard & the cargo secured, the launch returns to spaceport taking approximately 8 hrs for the return, Tharbin keeps a watch full eye on the bear for the duration of the trip back. Earl makes a rough landing next to the Vagabond, scaping the perimeter fence.

On arrival at the space port, Cyndariel briefs Earl as captain, that an irate captain Grimstone, whose ship was attempting to jump out of system, is claiming compensation as he blames the issues on us, as all the troubles coincided with our arrival. On cue the captain returns and engages in a heated argument with Earl, who stands his ground and points out that the phenonium was not caused by us and in fact we are currently engaged in trying to sort it out.

Tharbin & Earl return to the launch and head back to the site, after loading the white box discreetly. Whilst Chase is checked over by Cyndariel and administered pain killers then instructed to rest in quarters.

Cyndariel tends to the bear's nourishment over the coming weeks as we wait for something to happen, as well as feeding Kimbley using the ship rations.

Kalinda

Kalinda (human) an agent of the sentinel’s arrives a few weeks later and is confronted by Masuyo, who insists on a briefing on what the cargo / box is. The agent eventually discloses her patron is an Ancient and the box is from another ancient, and in fact the war is not over between the ancients, just gone quiet. The agent & Masuyo oversee the destruction of the box which lifts the communications blockade. After the completion of this task a discussion takes place as Kalinda’s patrons would like to keep this event quiet and out of the imperium’s spotlight.

A plan is hatched and agreed by all present, which involves some diversion tactics and cover story. A location with a hunting lodge has been chosen to be set up as the dummy location of the signal origins, before it is conveniently destroyed by rock/meteor, which will be arranged by Kalinda’s ship.
