## Activities

### The Bad Company Series

#### The Bad Company

TH's first assignment is to enforce a contract on Tissikinnon Four for the Crenellians. The team of 50 are dropped directly into a fire fight where they fight for their lives, killing thousands of Podders, the natives calling Tissikinnon, Poddern. Terry's nature is to only kill when necessary and to this point despite the vast battle none of his people have been killed. The team captures a Boudin and Joseph probes Boudin's mind to establish contact. Terry's primary objective at this point is to get to the planetary HQ for the Podders and the Crenellians to deescalate the situation.

Joseph finds out the Pods know they are at fault. They signed the contract, got what they wanted and then started an earthquake that buried all the Crenellians. Joseph also informs them there are multiple clans of the Podders and they are located in the midst of a clan that is at war with the clan of their prisoner. Worse, the Podder clans speak different languages and the prisoner also cannot understand the Podders they have to fight for the resupply pod.

The Branch members are upset by the shear violence against the Podders. They are glad when Boudin, suggests the use bright light to push the mainly underground dwelling Podders back. Boudin helps them get into the enclave and open the entry for TH and the Branch.

#### Blockade

The Branch is sent to break a blockade at Alchon Prime. After a direct assault by War Axe fails TH sends small teams via a space walk against the blockade ships. The teams find a human crew being controlled by a super AI named Ten. Because of Joseph's sensitivity Ten has the ability to attack Joseph via mental attacks incapacitating Joseph.

#### Price of Freedom

Joseph is watching the team spar with Boudin and gives them a pearl of wisdom. He points out and Boudin confirms that as Boudin fights he is protecting his undershell because blows there could incapacitate him. The lesson for the Branch members is that each species will defend the vulnerable parts of its body. Since the Branch expects to encounter and have to fight different species they need to watch the responses as they fight. It will indicate their vulnerabilities just as their actions will indicate where their own vulnerabilities are.

### Judge, Jury and Executioner

#### Blood Trade

Rivka Anoa comes to Joseph and Petricia to find out about the blood trade. They were held captive for nearly a decade by blood traders. The blood trade has surfaced again, with Bad Company's Direct Action Branch members being targeted.

Cole is used as bait for the traders. The traders capture Cole and also catch Joseph and Petricia. The transport ship, Grand Glory, is set up to drain blood so the 3 of them are hooked up and being drained. When the crew of the Wyatt Earp boards the ship and releases them, Joseph takes retribution on all the members of the crew, they are all in comas.

#### The Interview

Joseph decides to stay to support his brother Wyatt and Rivka in the pending Federation Council interrogation. Rivka decides to go to Azfelius were he and Petricia meet the Faeries. They tell him they can do nothing for him. His internal peace is the bedrock upon which many a kind soul exists. His restitution is paid and life is whole. He and Petricia will always be welcome on Azfelius, even though there is nothing they can do for them. They are always free to avail yourselves of the nourishment for body, senses, and soul.

Joseph and Petricia remain on Yoll to open an AGB franchise being Terry Henry’s people on the ground.
