We are heading to Down Port - current time planet side is 12.30 ish landing 12.45 ish gives us a couple of hours to prep for the meeting. We need to organise ground transport, and make sure all attending meeting have appropriate attire for the meeting.

Junebug wishes for us to spread some vague rumours/doubts around the crew complement to try to throw off an enemy from her past in the Marines, whilst she writes a message to the Marines with a complaint about him.

We get a docking port & safely land & meet customs. In system for 3 weeks, we have access for 6 hours due to our meeting with Mamon. We declare our cargo, but stress not planning on selling here, so it will not be leaving the cargo bay.

Annotated map on Sir Mamon Wakisha's Desk

We hire a ground car for transportation to Mamon's estate. Protesters outside down port no idea what they are protesting about, but give us no trouble. We arrive on time and are shown in immediately & he has a document on his desk. He welcomes us & asks how our survey went. To the best of our ability, then we explain what happened, tell him about the downed ships & explained about the creature and what happened. We give him the evidence photos & samples. He also cannot see the creature in the photo. Explain about Kimbley's assistance in locating it, no evidence of psionic abilities. Any research carried out about creature, ship modified and did not find anyone alive. Sensors also did not pick up the creature. We explain about our attempt to enter the ship but too high a technology for us to figure out how to enter. Mamon is taking copious notes as we give our report. We did not have any other strange feelings whilst doing survey but we do tell him about creature healing itself & returning for further attacks & as we were taking damage we decided to retreat.

We also report about incident on Bularia he seemed a bit taken aback, we explain what happened & how we managed to foil their plan. He adds it to his chart in front of him: He asks us our plans for the next while just in case he has any further questions or follow up & we inform him we plan to have at least 3 weeks down time in system. He authorises the second half of our payment.

Masuyo asks regarding the increased ghost stories around Iderate D, reason for asking is the thing we encountered could be considered a ghost. Strangely he hasn't shown any doubt about our description of the creature, giving rise to the thought he may have had similar reports before. We give him Vexar's name & he is known to him but he does not have enough pull with the Navy to stop him. He thanks us profusely & dismisses us as he has his own work to do & offers us potential future opportunities & tells us if there is anything we need we can contact him.

We get back into our ground car & stop to have a nice meal together. Earl buys some smart casual clothing & some formal attire as well. and gets a hair cut.

Cyn & Chase realise we have been gone for a while and are worried because we only got a 6 hour free pass, but we return at 18.00 hours & we decide to head up to High port, to shift our cargo and get replacement parts for the air raft so I can fix it properly. We need someone to head out to the Scout office to give our survey report on 886-945. The next day we all head out to carry out our own tasks, I go and get replacement parts & some spares (just in case).

Masuyo heads to Merchant Hall with one bottle of the Vodka as a sample to see who would be most interested in it & give us the best price. She finds the least busy trader &approaches them and offers 20,000 bottles of this, trader looks interested but not without a sample first. He seems to enjoy it, but seems to be a bit surprised by the amount we happen to have, so Masuyo explains about how we obtained it. Explaining that we have no intention of returning to the system so he can get the monopoly on it. We sell for 120000 credits. They will offload it themselves.

While Cyn does not see anything unusual, Chase has a feeling of being under observation. The rest of us notice that people are leaving the concourse. Tharbin & Masuyo in particular notice that people are leaving the concourse due some kind of communication. Trader is oblivious - Tharbin decides to follow someone, people who are in military uniforms or should be in military uniforms. Tharbin lets us know & thinks there may be some kind of emergency as the seem to be getting recalled.

We all head back to the transit tube leading back to the ship, as we arrive in the transport area. An announcement is then made. We approach the Security person to report to offer assistance & one of them throws a backpack into the transport tube to the North. There is an explosion, property damage & some injured people. Cyn & myself take some damage from flying debris, the security guards don't look well along with a lot of the civilians. Injured by the blast while running away, was he a fanatic? he shouted something whilst throwing the bomb. The surrounding terrain lessened the blast by the time it reached us leading to only minor damage.

The layout of the area in front of the transit tube entrance. This image doesn't show the explosion which has just occured in front of the red tape that is in front of transit tube entrance itself (middle left of this image) nor the profusion of prone and staggering people scattered around the scene of the explosion. Our heroes have just arrived on the moving walkway at the top of this image.

Junebug spots what she believes is a terrorist & throws her dagger at him & he slumps to the ground as Junebug shouts for all the civilians to stay away Earl shot at terrorist & missed, I move but decide not to take a shot as there a couple of civilians in the way. Security shout for everyone to get down. Chase moves into range and also just holds position as too many civilians - Junebug is shot by someone in a security uniform but it disintegrates on her Vacc suit: Cyn moves into cover and ducks down. A shout of You Bastard & a shot at Junebug which misses, but hits the civilian next to her. Another shot misses Junebug & hits civilian who drops to the ground. Cyn moves to assess the situation ready to jump in and offer medical aid. More shots come Junebug's way from the security team. Chase tells the civilian near him to get down behind him. I move into a position where I can shoot & take my shot & terrorist 1 & kill him - Masuyo shouts telling security here to help then moves & points weapon at Terrorist 2 & says drop the weapon or next shot is through your brain. Earl also tells security we are engaging the enemy as detached scouts.

Security reiterates Everybody get down. Earl tries to get security to stand down but they reply You stand down. I move closer to cover my crew mates. Security shoots the 2nd Terrorist & he falls unconscious - Junebug asks for her blades ack, but security refuse. Medical teams arrive, Earl presents ID to Security to prove our authenticity, Cyn checks on passenger & helps stabilises them, then revives to Terrorist to ask a few questions The Tactical team arrive & take the body & now conscious Terrorist into custody while giving sly glances at Junebug. Cyn makes note that the quality of the weapon is somewhat shabby & has potentially been smuggled aboard. Masuyo is people watching to see if anyone is acting suspiciously or trying to assess the damage, there are a couple but not sure if there are co-conspirators or not. They could just be curious. No one in or out through the docking area. The ship crews are arguing with Security about getting back to their ships, there are other ways to get through to docking via maintenance shafts.

Security eventually approach us, Chase is asked for his ID which he provides, Earl provides his ID, a less friendly security guy approaches me: Oh one sec I've got them here somewhere, I frantically pat my pockets & then search my backpack then give them over. Can you explain your actions, please. I explain, but get arrested anyway. Junebug is arrested too. asking for someone to look after Kimbley. Earl requests to know where the holding area is, but is ignored Masuyo cites Imperial law & they reluctantly provide the info & then she asks to accompany us as the ships Lawyer. Earl tries to somewhat diffuse the situation asking what there to do for fun around here and asks about nearest drinking establishment is but it is closed. The holo screens change to a news report: Many Jump emergences near Gas Giant & a fleet is amassing. Earl is not sure which ships they are, Cyn thinks they may be Imperial, but not sure. Masuyo tells them to keep studying the ships. Chase asks security about the news report & should he be worried. Yes you should is the response. The rest of the crew decides to head back to the ship. Masuyo speaks to senior officer with us. He threatens to throw us in the big until the new threat is dealt with Masuyo drops Mamon Wakisha name & tells them to contact him directly again citing Imp law about illegal arrest & imprisonment.

Still from a video news report claiming that it has been taken from on board a Imperial Starship moving to defend Iderati

Ships are not Imperial they are in fact Zhodani. Earl asks if they should return to ship or join us in Security centre, Masuyo tells them to join us over open comms - warning security not to take it as a threat & to expedite our trip to security centre D2. He goes into back office to make the call. then he comes back after a few minutes, How was the call? He was a little surprised to hear us involved in Terrorist activity, but not totally surprised. Security let us go - Masuyo asks me to call Mamon to see if he has any suggestions on how we may be able to help: We can see flashes in the window hear the Naval Base outside. Masuyo needs to send an urgent message to Glisten via X-boat and visits the X-boat office and is told No X-boat is here just now Anything leaving for next system with X-boat availability that you trust. None of them is the vehement reply. Masuyo calls Earl & asks him to come to the office that he would trust to take a comms packet. He prepares it for us to take to next X-boat point (Flammarion) ASAP, he provides orders to such.

Leave Message with Mamon's secretary that we are acting as an X- boat to Flammarion & will be back ASAP.

Can't get through, gate is jammed but explain to the security team that we need to get to ship ASAP as under orders he asks us to follow him & takes us to a maintenance area & gives us directions back to our ship.
