Liner recall

So we are running around Tremes Dex getting ready to go and getting our supplies and shit replaced. I turn to Stormie and say "I love shopping!" as we head into what looks like a general store. Chewy calls in letting us know Grunion showed up today with a load of cargo to dump. We are glad to have him back. He might be our best bet for a cover up once we hit imperial space. Grunion is squeky clean and so is Stormie, just need to figure out how to get in and out of Imperial space before someone realizes who we are. I head over to the gun counter and pick up an set of twin auto pistols, very elegant, engraved with tribal swirls and leaves and worth every one of the 800cr each I happily paid. I picked up a light weight holster set which added that little extra bit of bad ass and sexy to the mix. Of course as I smoldered at myself in the mirror I couldn't help but giggle at the whole affair. We all splurge on sticky guns, the duct tape of weapons, only cost 1500cr each...ouch! I got some jugs of the solvent and Doc and Stormie grabbed some as well. Next we grabbed oxy-tabs, you can use 6 of them a day and they last an hour each, pretty sweet. We wrap it up and head to the meeting with out local bank rep.

   So we meet up with Jimbo Motopet, what was his momma thinking? He knows that we are heading to Frenzie and he says he has a side job for us. He needs for someone to meet an end. The guy is named Red Chunnle and he is a minor crime lord with a base on a non aligned world. Stormie asks "whats it worth?", Gavin says "it better be a lot!". The report says Red was last seen on the world of Rangent in the Villas sub-sector, one jump away from here. He still lives there in a small cabin. Jimbo offers us 100k each, plus fuel costs, sadly he has no more info for us. The planet he is on is law lvl 1 and in not in imperial space which is a bonus for us, but the money just isn't high enough. Sensing our hesitation he ups the offer to 200k each and we put our heads together. I stand up and demand 300k each and he goes for it. Yay me!

  So we get the ships loaded and grab the documents from ole Jimbo. Grunion grabs a new fuel bladder and heads out. Gavin jumps our seeker and we spend 2 days and 9 hrs in jump. Then we jump again for a week so I get my streetwise training and we land at this frontier planet with a nasty atmosphere. killer smog wee! lets wear reperratiors. Planet is just a water world with one tiny island, maybe 100 miles x 100 miles and there are supposed to be 5 million people here somewhere between the island and the bonded boating islands floating around. So we need a plan, cause being from a high gravity world I feel like I could beat the snot out of everyone lol, a day here is 45 hrs so yeah that is gonna be peachy. Doc and Gavin notice 3 ships refuling on the outar gas giant. One is refueling on the 2nd gas giant in and one is on the 6th orbit moving in system. Suddenly Grunions ships power plant fails. We join up and head over to his ship. I find that there is a hair line crack in the zuchai crystal casing and I fix it with my sticky gun. Course now I have to make sure to fix it every time we jump so I move my things to Grun's ship for now. At least we have a cover story for being here in case they ask.

    So we head in system and it takes like 7 days and 4 hours. I notice grunion being weird, he seems to be thinking hard and keeps looking out the side window at another ship. As we enter the asteroid belt the ship disappears and it seems rather odd.  Grun lets the fellas in the seeker know he has better sensors and he makes an attempt to run them, so I start the scan and I check out the densitometer and I see a 300 ton object sitting on the surface of a large rock. "Bingo.Here it is." So we lock into orbit around the rock and grun gets his grav belt on and prepairs to check out the ship. The seeker joins us and Gavin thinks he picks up a screech burst, being tight beamed into the main world. He records it and finds out it is in the kkree langauge and none of us speak it. *sigh*  So Grunion hits the surface. After passing over the ship once, to high over it to see anything, he lands 6 miles away. Hopefully if anyone is alive down there they haven't noticed us in orbit. Grun and I maintain raidio silence and we keep our communication to a min with the other ship. Grun travels quickly and gets within 500 yards of the ship and scans all com channels and as he tunes in the ship he hears them mention Red. Grunion records the conversation, "...he won't like *static*... only have 15 weeks to compleate the mission *static*.... finish survaying the rock and get back". He can hear 4 distinct voices inside, and there is no activity outside. Back on the ship I can only hope all is going well since we are not able to communicate. Grun assumes he can get closer to the ship to bug it. He gets up there and bugs the ship in a few places.Grunion hears then say "fuck there is someone outside!". Grun sees them see him and about shits his pants. Doc sees their power levels spike as their maneuver drives and guns power up. Grun pushes off and takes cover. Gavin tunes in to the the ships comm channel and hears them go on alert. The seeker heads in towards the ship, I am tracking Grunion and Doc notices him disappear, Chewy fires and... "PLEASE DONT SHOOT ME!!" blares across the com.
