Dec 22, 2519- Crossroads ––– Repairs are done. Arden has finally managed to get his brain scan and discovers two things. One--he has a second pineal gland in his brain, which he can't explain or understand the purpose of. Two--the Alliance has declared a system-wide quarantine of Blue Sun to contain the 34 Tauri E Transmissible Spongiform Encephalitis (TSEB34), inaccurately called the "Reaver Disease", and the quarantine will be kept until further notice.

We lift off Miranda with a repaired and revamped Summer's Gift and head out for the nearest Cortex Repeater Station so Jake and Rick can broadcast the vids they've captured dirtside. Somehow, word of Miranda has to go out, the news has to keep coming. Brian is still unconscious, strapped to our new ward in med bay. Harry and Shyla are aboard as well, going out into the Black with us. Our plan after we broadcast our vids is to make our way Coreward to get Brian the care he needs.

We get intercepted 55 hours after take off--on December 24th--by the Longbow Class PDF Decatur, formerly the IAV Intrepid of the Alliance Navy. Decatur orders us to heave to and prepare for boarding. We obey. We are met by men in NBC suits and are subjected to a round of exams thorough and invasive enough to necessitate sedating Rina lest she kill someone, and after the results are in, we are declared free of the TSEB.

We learn a few other things. When the quarantine was lowered on Blue Sun, the Alliance pulled all her ships out, leaving the system defenceless against domestic troublemakers. The system's inhabitants quickly devised their own navy, the Planetary Defence Fleet (or PDF) to take up the duties the Allliance abandoned. In some cases, the very ships the PDF acquired were Alliance ships cut loose when the crew showed signs of the TESB. Those that succumbed were dealth with, those that survived severed ties with the Feds, taking the ships with them. Fuel Magnate You Ge of YouGo Industries has thrown his resources and fuel to the PDF and its ultimate goal: the liberation of Blue Sun by leveraged negotiations, backed up by the PDF.

We also learn that Shyla and Harbinger have been working with the PDF, investigating goings-on in Blue Sun. When Shyla is given command of Decatur upon her return, she asks us to join her. We are given 24 hours to discuss it amongst ourselves and after much wrangling between the anti-war/anti-killing half of the crew and the more Resistance-minded, we agree to straddle the fence: we will run blockades with Summer's Gift for the PDF but retain our autonomy to come and go and do good with our ship as we see fit.

Jan 19, 2519- Obstinacy ––– We arrive on Boros to visit Nika's sister on her ranch and to sell our cargo of land vehicles in Vanderburg City. While Christian is busy in the city, the rest of the crew picks up a kitten from Nala's barn litter and also become embroiled in a dispute between local ranchers and Federal inspection mandates. By the end of our stay, we leave with cargo arranged by fixer Saul Lee and are also custodians of an orphaned little boy suffering from TSE.

Jan 23, 2520 - Gibraltar Blues ––– We land on Newhope at Gibraltar, only to find the city and the port in an uproar from food riots. Jake, Rick and Rina find themselves caught up in the riots while shooting footage and have a couple of close calls with the police and a Reaverized individual as they try to get back to the ship. Meanwhile, Christian and Nika arrange cargo with the on-world Russian Mob and take Johannes Volker, III as a passenger, who is more than he appears.

Feb 18, 2520 - Meridian Encounters ––– We deliver the last of Saul Lee's cargo, 45 tons of medicine and medical equipment to Brisbane on Meridian, and when we arrive we find the town's doctor has been abducted by a militarized logging camp in the mountains above. We do a recon and then a raid, and by trickery and teamwork manage to extract the doctor. During the operation, Johannes exhibits some surprising talents.

Feb 22, 2520 - Of The Damned ––– We fly on to Muir to deliver our cargo of lead pipe and find a derelict ship with Reaver victims. Unable to render aid, we continue to our destination. When we land on Muir, we find the TSE has struck even here and to our horror discover the ultimate fate of its victims.

Feb 27, 2520 - Powder Keg ––– We leave Santa Ria Mission to Reaver attack at Iscariot's insistence and Karma pays us back by inflicting damage upon our getaway. We manage to limp into Highgate, seeking help for Lem Kurpinski and safer cargo runs for ourselves.

Mar 01, 2520 - Flashpoints ––– Rina's reputation for being a hard-ass complicates repairs. She and Christian adopt Lem Kurpinsky to get him free of the hospital. We take on 5 passengers bound for White Sun and they prove a mite problematic.

Mar 18, 2520 - Vicissitudes ––– We evade an L-RAT by a miracle and cannibalize it to make a crysostasis chamber for Lem, whose condition has worsened. We fly on to St. Albans with the remaining two passengers of six.
