## Shopping Trip (In a Spooky Minor Key)

The party arrives at Tokili's black market contact. After knocking exactly twice on a red door, a voice asks what he is there for. As scripted, he responds that he is "just looking". The gang is let inside and told to place all their weapons to the side. An hour later, they enter the shop, to which they are greeted by an Intellia guard named Auntie. After explaining that they are defective thus cooler, they show the party around.

* After seeing the hoverboard, ERA002 immediately takes it off the shelf and begins skating. Auntie allows her to take this free trial.
* Red expressed interest in replacing one of his arms with a gun and increasing his reflexes beyond his normal capacity. He gets a free discount for some reason and is told the operation will take around 4 hours due to his organic nature.
* Tokili buys enough firepower to rival a small army, which includes Dead Ringer TF2, a laser cannon, and a few grenades. He also upgrades ERA's free hoverboard trial to a premium account.
* Stone also buys Dead Ringer TF2. Neither were told that it required attunement unfortunately.
* The party is told that Auntie also sells a variety of computer chips that can be used to adjust their ERA002 model to their liking. They elect not to teach her fireball or how to use a gun and instead buy 2 accelerated learning chips.
* Al buys a pike. Everyone claps at this purchase.

After purchasing illegal weaponry, the party still has time to kill while waiting for Red to replace his inferior fleshy parts. The party picks up their weaponry and leave, with Auntie giving a chip of unknown nature to ERA002 while no one is looking :).

Al tells everyone that he'll meet the party back at the house, as he and Xadriel need to discuss something. Xadriel has no idea what he's talking about but everyone has already left. After finding a seat at a park, Al asks for a purpose in life. Xadriel politely tells him to think before he acts, to repent for all the shit he's pulled, and that finding a purpose is really his own problem. The two storm off in opposite directions, which is really awkward as their destination is the same.

Twiggy hangs out with the *+2 shortsword* and ERA002, creating a skate park in ERA001's front yard. Their fun ends when Al asks for the sword back and Stone pulls ERA away for some magic lessons. Stone teaches ERA002 *detect magic,* *charm person*, and *guiding bolt*, along with finding out that she already knew *mending*. Xadriel shows up and volunteers as test dummy.

Al asks the *+2 shortsword* for a purpose in life. The sword politely tells him to think before he acts, have faith, and that finding a purpose is really his own problem. The two storm off in opposite directions, which is really awkward because the sword can't move and Al isn't going anywhere.

Tokili takes a five-hour nap.

Red stumbles back to the party. One short rest later, the gang's all geared up to steal the tachyon engine!

## Incident at Intellia Science Center

* Walk on in
* The burly guard to the energy lab notices Tokili's thoughts are an endless stream of "KILL KILL KILL" interspersed with images of him burning everyone in the energy lab to death, roll initiative!

## The World's Most Dedicated Revenant

* The platform train shoots off at 300 km/h. The party takes a breather.
* After a minute, the platform shudders to a stop.
* Flix appears on the console to taunt the party, claiming to have sent them an old pal.
* There's a distant explosion, and a technological abomination with Rahadin at its core flies up to attack the party.

## Developments

* The party has purchased a pile of black market tech.
	+ Red: +2 DEX augmentation, laser rifle and ammo with arm integration augmentation
	+ Tokili: laser cannon and ammo, DED, accelerated learning chip, hoverboard, plasma grenades
	+ Stone: DED, accelerated learning chip
	+ Al: lightning pike
* Tokili has obtained an ancient robot's heart.
* ERA002 has learned the following spells: *mending, guiding bolt, detect magic, charm person, invisibility(?)*
* The party has stolen the Tachyon Engine, mostly.
* Rahadin is here!

## Trivia

* The black market shopkeeper had a name, but I cannot be bothered to remember it.
* The ancient robot's heart was meant for the space-faring era, but due to said era being cut, it will literally never matter.
