Scum & Villainy, Sessions 1 and 2

Session 1: The self-stealing droid

Conclave 01 contacted the PCs via Watson, the Nomad’s AI, with a time sensitive mission. One of their own had been working for the 51st Legion as a janitor bot, and needed to report back with the data it’d gathered. JX was scheduled for its routine wipe and was about to board the Legion ship en-route to the Guild of Engineer’s base.

The crew took on the job and raced ahead of the Legion ship to be at the refueling base around Indri. With their spare time, they met a Conclave contact who provide a non-sentient JX bot to swap out. Then the PCs visited the station, enjoyed some food at the food court, knocked out a pair of Legionaires for their passcards, and entered the Legion’s bay disguised as technicians. They brought in their janitor bot, found their confederate hiding among a heap of trash, and quickly hacked a switch in IDs between the bots. They bluffed their way out with their JX friend, leaving a compromised janitor bot to be delivered for the wipe.

Session 2: Parts please!

Raf Urich hired the crew to acquire a modulator to repair his jump drive. He pointed them at a warehouse orbiting Indri, with pay on delivery to some remote coordinates on Lithios. (He also provided them with a code to shut down the automated particle cannons defending the warehouse.)

The crew decided that the last job hadn’t been daring enough, so they decided to cut their way in and rob the parts. Staffing was light; Jet looked up the storage location from a terminal, Charlie raced down the aisle, encouraged a couple of unfortunate Yaru laborers to rise up, then continued down the aisle to cut off the responding security forces. Axel encouraged the laborers to load the modulator on a forklift and zip it to the docking bay.

Charlie threw a thermal detonator and collapsed a big chunk of shelving , ensuring that security wouldn’t be able to close with their stun lances. Jet liked the look of the impulse helmets that controlled the forklift and decided to step up and run one. After almost running himself over, he grabbed another modulator and raced to the airlock.

The particle cannons tried to tag the ship as it flew off, but Jet’s fancy flying kept them safe… despite the #7 thruster cutting out at a terrible time.
