  1. Okay. So we fly off St. Albans on the Friday, 08 May 2522
  2. Arrive New Melbourne on Saturday09/Sunday10 May 2522
    1. Stay two weeks making repairs and healing up.
      1. Joshua’s got two cargo loads of clothing bound for Boros, a total of 600 tons, necessitating using some of our pax stateroom space to shoehorn it in. It’s 2088 credits, with half up front, however! Woo!
      2. Nika and Kiera go to Lane’s Ferry on New Melbourne to investigate a Jun Jun off the list. After a conversation with the bartender of the local bar (and some sharp dealing for his scrimshaw), we find out the real information can be had with the village's ladies' sewing circle. They meet in another building in town. Nika and Kiera walk over, knock on the door and find no evidence of sewing in sight, but a card game. Hah! (Legend of the Drunken Master, anyone?) They pay into a game and they talk over the cards. When we mention we're looking for a Jun Jun, looks are traded back and forth between the village women and by the end of a couple hours playing, Jun Jun reveals she is June Barrett of Alkali Flats, the first girl taken—she’s married to a fisherman and has 3 kids and we leave our contact info with her. She gave us a cortex wave to send to her father on Jianyin, to tell him she’s alive. She’s got a good enough life here, though it’s hard, and she’d rather stay on New Melbourne and put the kidnapping behind her.
      3. There is another name on the JJB list—Amber-Hamm. A tsunami swamped the town she was taken from. Did anyone survive Hamm’s encounter with the tsunami? Looking into the records of Hamm, we get a name like Amber— Ambery—and a surname to go with it—Schell. Most of the inhabitants fled Hamm and Ambery’s parents, Alice and Hem Schell, are listed as having moved to Flotilla. Since Joshua is too injured to fly with Nika and Kiera to Lane’s Ferry and he has cargo to line up, he elects to search the neighborhood of Flotilla. He finds the Schells and they confirm that yes, indeed, their daughter Ambery was taken from Hamm. Would we find her? They give us a photo from five months before she’s taken. We’ll have to run it through an aging algorithm to get a better idea what she’ll look like now.
  3. Leave New Melbourne to go to Silverhold on Sunday, 24 May 2522
  4. Fly 3 days to Silverhold
    1. Arrive Silverhold 27 May, take off same day—pax in a hurry, they pay us up front 700 credits
  5. Fly 7 days to Persephone, ETA Wed 03 Jun 2522
    1. 29 May, incident with Laura, the female Fed Marshall with one of the guys
    2. 29 May, we start the Party Gras cruise and keep the Feds entertained til we arrive.
  6. Arrive Persephone 03 Jun 2522
    1. Wave Badger, accept a job from him carrying 6 enforcers to Hancock, Regina, negotiate fee, and he gets us waived as a medical supplies delivery.
    2. Our pax will pay us 65 per head (6 of them) and Badger will take 25% of our Fed pax fee as his payment for expediting our landing. (25% of 700 = 175)
    3. Badger pays us 400 now for the legbreakers and will pay us the balance of what he owes us (225) when we deliver them to Regina. Nika and Kiera and Beglan go see him to finalize the deal.
    4. We meet with Badger and almost immediately have to scramble to avoid a Fed Marshall sweep for criminals.
    5. We run into Laura and Ronnie and the other two pax, they let us go. Whew!
  7. We leave Persephone for Regina that same day. ETA Georgia in 21 days: Wednesday, 24 Jun 2522.
    1. We leave on Sunday 03 Jun 2522
    2. The pax run roughshod on ship
    3. Tuesday, 05 May:
      1. One of the pax gets rough with Kiera, she eels out of it.
      2. We notice Rufus looking a bit dicey, Joshua gets weird vibe off him.
      3. Joshua approaches the leader, Cort, and askes about him. He’s boosted and forgot to pack his dampeners. Can we make more?
    4. Wednesday, 06 Jun:
      1. Kiera and Arden figure out a substitution but how to administer them?
      2. We decide to isolate Rufus in the foreward cargo airlock with the meds spiking his water supply and leave him there for the safety of our crew.
      3. Beglan insists on keeping him company because it’s the human—though not the safest—thing to do. Joshua goes with. Rina goes ballistic. Nika slaps her down verbally and that’s the plan. They sneak up on him and trank him when he’s sleeping and drag him down below to the airlock.
    5. Thursday, 07 Jun:
      1. Rufus wakes up. It’s a yo-yo of getting thrown around like luggage by the American Tourister Gorilla and a weep-fest as they hold Rufus’s hand and tell him he’ll be all right. Rufus gets a grip by degrees and when he’s in enough control of himself agrees to take the spiked water.
      2. Meanwhile Nika reads Rina the riot act for being overprotective of the XO (and in front of the pax no less!) and the rest of the crew watches the airlock via our surveillance cameras.
  8. We arrive at Regina in the evening of Wednesday 24 Jun and do a quick kiss and go. We at least part company with no hard feelings and we dust off hoping Badger’s enforcers don’t take it out on the natives too harshly.
  9. We fly 1.5 days to Boros, arriving toward noon of the day of 26 Jun 2522, Friday.
    1. En Route, we wave Saul Lee to see if he could fix it so we get in faster—Boros is an Allied world and the mickey mouse bullshit on arrival applies.
    2. There’s some wrangling as to percentage but Saul Lee eventually agrees and we only have to pay 10% to get our stuff past the inspection process.
  10. Friday, 26 Jun 2522:
    1. We land at Vandenburg, Boros, on 26 June and wave Byshek. He has a job for us.
    2. Rina does a fantastic job on our monthly maintenance and cuts our cost by 50% for a savings of over 200 credits. Woo!
    3. We decide to stay dirtside a little while—there are names from the JJB list to investigate right here on Boros and there’s the coordinates from the land sat photo on Regina—which we forgot to check up on when we dropped off Badger’s knee-breakers. Oh well, on the trip back out, then.

It’s been a rough month of hauling pax and cargo, albeit a reasonably profitable one, and we all decide to stay on the ground and catch our breath. We have that job from Byshek waiting for us, too, and that might take some girding before we engage it. (Byshek’s on Newhope, Georgia)

In the meantime, we’ve got money in our pockets—21 credits from the up-front portion of the Boros cargo pay—and we’ve got some time to kill. Rina’s up to do some shopping with Kiera—now Kiera can get that green gown she saw way back in December. If she’s lucky, it might still be there.
