The Deep Ether Campaign/Session 1

The first part of the session focused mostly on boarding activities involving the party:
* Regi performing physicals.
* Allie setting up her lab and getting an alternate physical from Dr. Braun.
* Counting lessons for Aggron.
* Naga Dundee tried to help Aggron with counting
* Klaus getting reassigned as first officer on the Taigun after the untimely death of Hiru's former first officer in the Pin Jump riots.
* Janea setting up her room and encountering the humorless auditor Grayborn.
* Garrel setting up his equipment and being generally reclusive.
* Lumbergh meeting Dr. Sidney (leading everyone to conclude that the senior leadership of this expedition consists mostly of thoroughly irascible people) and then boarding the Taigun
* Notan went around "making friends"
With everyone aboard, the expedition launched. We skipped ahead some weeks to the Taigun breaking off from the main fleet to investigate strange signals in (then unbeknownst to all but Capt. Hiru) a region of space marked by Banshee as significant. So the expedition found the half-disk and studied the various golems and ruins therein. The ruins apparently were of Pantheon War vintage and seemed to mark the place as a Valdosian-controlled Bazaar and soul collecting place on a now sealed interface between the ether and the domains of the gods.
The golems remained of unknown provenance, though the party of course discovered one of particular note (Hrymn) inside a tower at the midpoint of the straight edge of the half-disk. This tower seemed to be a sort of panopticon, from within which Hrymn had observed the party and, apparently, much of the surrounding ether for an indeterminate period. After a few incidents, including Garrel going temporarily blind, the party recovered Hrymn and took him aboard to serve as a sort of living navigation instrument.
