Log #8 Stardate 24.01.3304 The end of the Guuguyni slavers and a new objective
24 Jan 2018Erinia Scantyar
After my day off at Citi Gateway in the Inara system I returned to Guuguyni to finish business.I docked at Shen Terminal and prepared for the hunt. My new comrades of the 10th Legion were there as well. We took part in the last operation against the remnants of the slavers together with local security forces and princess Duvals navy. It was more a masacre then a hunt. The slavers were in panic. After 4 hours of slaughtering the last slaver ship detonated spinning around itself and colliding with an asteroid. We went back to Shen to cash in and claim our rewards. Total cashout for the entire 4 days: just shy of 37 million credits. Well worth it.
I got contacted by an old friend after I had returned home to Zelano. An unknown person calling via holovid. I accepted the call.
"Hello Ms. Scantyar, this is the major. I might have a mission with a big reward for you. Your services for the empire taking down those illegal slavers haven´t gone unnoticed. Would you be interested in acquiring a new ship? A special one?" he asked.
"Nice to see you again, major. That would be interesting. The Mordrema is a really good ship, but against some bigger foes she really can get into trouble. What is this mission about?" I asked.
"First off I want you to make contact with some persons. You´ll find their aid usefull on your journey. One Felicity Farseer is seeking for meta alloys. Acquire some for her and she´ll help you improve your ship as well as point you to other rescourcefull people. And someone called the dweller might be interesting to you as well. He´s trickier to convince. You need to smuggle any kind of illicit goods into 5 different stations. This one I can´t ask for. I´m sure you understand why." the major instructed.
"I understand. What comes next?" I got more and more curious.
"I´ll contact you again once you´ve met those people. I´ll send you their coordinates. Oh, and I´ll also attach the files about your latest... contacts... to the message. See you soon Ms. Scantyar." the major answered and ended the call.
"Mission critical message received." The Mordremas computer notified me.
I opened the message and plotted a course for the Maia system as according to the data in the message that was the only place to acquire those alloys. Thargoids had been seen there. Damned insects! This was going to be a tense cargo haul and quite a long distance from Zelano. I sighed. The Mordrema had a good jump range for a combat ship, but not enough. I´d need help.
Time to organize the journey...
