Day 3 (Nov 23-26)
The ship was abuzz with rumor and speculation as word spread through the ship. Leadership spent the majority of the night in conference, and certain facts were now well known.
There was a mystery dropship coming. They'd fought against a local pirate gang and not completely destroyed them, but definitely delivered a staggering blow. The repairs were underway and things were... upbeat, but worried.
Word of scattered discoveries were coming in, and an old urban combat vehicle had been recovered - morale was shaky, but up. The perimeter was growing more solid as a second fence was built around the first, to create a buffer zone, and a temporary garage was erected. The ground crew had made real progress, and the techs and astechs had managed to work with the ship crew to clean up the engine damage. The repairs could begin sooner than expected, and though they were expected to be time consuming, there was at least the promise that it would be possible, and the ship wasn't going to collapse any further.
In many ways the day seemed a chance to regain balance and resolve lingering issues before the metaphorical storm arrived, following on the heels of the literal one.
Lucretzia Winters, perhaps feeling the opportunity had arrived, directed her own people to start investigating the Gate, so that they could get a better handle on that lead, since the ghost signal was proving elusive.
--------
Weather: The storm front arrived. Slow and steady rain begins falling in the LM and continues to come down through the day and into the night, slowly turning the ground to mud and steadily soaking through anything and anyone left uncovered for more than a few moments. The temperature hovered near 69 Fahrenheit (20.5C), and a strong wind blew from the south-west.
Events:
Go To Hell -- EM
Cashflow issues -- LM
Divided Loyalties -- LE
Special Rules: Players may post in any region except Limbo. Threads outside the Calico by members of the Echo Exploration team must include at least 1 member of the Fortunate Ones as security, or the Fortunate Ones will suffer a breach of contract. All regions outside Human Edge and the Calico start becoming increasingly muddy by the evening time slots - the salvage crawler can no longer safely travel by the EE time slot.
Current rules of engagement: Weapons free when encountering Slate Eater vehicles or personnel - all other locals are fire only when fired upon.
