### **Part One**

*"The last we left the Dead Stars (Haelley : I'm dead! / Darrin : \*laughs\* I mean, maybe) on their ship, the Decryptor, waiting for a job, they all got contacted by the head of* Nightingale Exploration*, Rajesh Aniyad CEO. He needed something done kind of lowkey and off the grid, at least, off anybody's payroll. An Echo drive needs to be taken from an off-shore facility and he's hired the Dead Stars to do it. Giving them some information and a hacker to go and see about getting on to the facility, they land in District 5 of San Francisco in the year 2185. Pointed to the direction of the Dragon Eyes bar, they go - two brothers dance erotically, one 1980's movie quoting police officer moonwalks and other craziness goes on. Captain Connors (can't believe I just said that in a sentence, goddamn, that's a pull) meets up with the hacker, Dec0 and all of a sudden, armed forces and individuals come in, shoot up the place, but the Dead Stars fight back to a degree - some getting shot, some of these guard's individuals getting their chests blown open. They managed to keep one. He wasn't going to go alive and he took his own life with a grenade painting himself across the walls of the bar and individuals. And as our hacker crawled out from underneath the table asking if the altercation was over, that is where we come back."*

With the blast still ringing in their ears, D0C healed Finn back into consciousness, while Connors looted the bodies for papers or markings to identify them with and found two Kassai submachine guns, one personal watch worth 10,000 Wonlongs, two nanopacks, five rations and an ID card for Schmitt Wagner, an industrializing company that focused on housing. In the background, Sven snaked on a banana, then when Hans asked for some, chewed and fed some of the banana to him like a baby bird, claiming his brother was too weak to do so himself. Seeing Connors loot the bodies, Sven held up the guard he paralyzed in the fight, asked if he would be useful for questioning and Connors replied he might be and decided to keep him around. Shae, still annoyed at the fight ruining her good time, noted this was a deviation from what they came to do and Connors decided to escort Dec0 out of the building with the rest of the Dead Stars in tow. Connors brought up grabbing armor, which Sven decided to do and after finding the intact ones, at Connors suggestion, handed the armor to Cairo. Dec0 gave his apologies noting that they were there for him. As he passed the barkeep, Connors handed over the 10,000 Wonlong watch and insisted the group was never here, which the barkeep readily agreed to. Before leaving, D0C looked at one of the bodies that had their organs spilling out, and harvested their intact liver from the floor before following.

Connors and Finn took Dec0 through the back alleys and back to the ship and on the way, Dec0 filled him in more detail that he had hacked their systems and lost them a lot of money. The rest of the Dead Stars scattered and made their way back to the ship as individuals, to best avoid being followed. Back at the Decryptor, Sven looked over the tracking device he removed and found it was dead, but determined he could easily turn it back on to use it as a decoy in the future if needed. Once on the ship, Connors designated some space for Dec0 to work while there. Dec0 asked if any of any of the Dead Stars had problems with the Yakuza, which everyone denied easily enough, while D0C ran to his room to add the liver he harvested to a collection of other organs he had stashed in a hidden freezer. Shae asks Dec0 if he had issues with the Yakuza, which he replied that he was from the 16k Triad and meant he was a wanted man, and Finn commented to Shae that he is was not as wanted as she was, which she happily agreed to.

Dec0 explained in District 4, the Yakuza own a club at the top of a tower in called *Oni,* which had a floor above it that housed their blackmarket which is where they would find the EMP. He added that he had a friend who was a companion synth, named 23, who worked in the club and the blackmarket and could get them in so they could buy the EMP and leave. Finn pointed out that Dec0 was talking like they would bring a gang member into a rival gang's territory, but Dec0 commented that since none of them know what 23 looked like and that her files were restricted and unable to be opened, they needed him to identify her. Dec0 explained the layout of the club and the blackmarket and noted specifically there was only one elevator up to the club from the ground, then another separate elevator from the club to the black market. Finn suggested flying the ship near the upper floors and Hans suggested climbing up the side of the tower, before Connors reminded them they could just walk in and pay for it and Dec0 agreed there shouldn't be an issue just making the trade. Shae offered to "cozy up" to someone and acted as a distraction herself, but Connors was unsure how that would help get the 80lb EMP out of a building.

Eventually the team managed to come around and agreed that getting in and paying for the EMP is the best plan, noting that the operators of the black market would have a way to get it out of the building without it looking suspicious, so they could help maintain their own secrecy. After asking if that was true, Dec0 assured them it would be fine and showed them a back section of the market where a service elevator went all the way to the ground floor, which used biometrics to operate and they could possibly get from 23. While adding to the idea of finding 23, Connors casually insulted synths, which is what Dec0 and 23 were and was peer pressured by Finn to give an apology. Connors did so creating a whirlwind of commentary before Dec0 re-established that their plan should be sound, then punched in the coordinates for the Triad's docking station in District 4.

Hans asked if they wanted to keep the branded vests on, noting that maybe having anyone else's symbol in gang territory might be a bad idea. Shae asked if she should dress up and the twins encouraged her to do so, before leaving to get dressed themselves so she had a point of reference and soon came back in lederhosen. Connors came around, asked what Sven did with their paralyzed captive and Sven said he was holding him. Connors told him to bring him down to the Decryptor's holding area. While the twins went to get dressed, Shae flitted through a dozen of so minidresses before landing on a strappy red one that Finn suggested. Shae only cared what Dec0 seemed to think, noticing that he did look in her general direction and chose to believe he was looking at her, while the twins and Connors took the captive down to the holding area together.

Down in the holding area, Sven asks for one of the Docs to heal the paralyzed man, but Finn asserted that that isn't something they can fix. Finn looked through her drugs for something useful in interrogation, while Connors checked the captive for explosives, found two hand grenades, then checked for any fake teeth used to hold cyanide and found he was clear. Finn decided to simply heal the captive, but managed to drug him heavily making him go a little brain dead for a minute which caused Connors to shoo her out and throw D0C in. Most of the crew turn their backs while D0C work, while others seem fascinated to see what he did. D0C used some of his medical supplies to bring the captive back to a more aware state thought still paralyzed and in pain. Connors turned at the sound of groaning, learns the captive's name was Kyle and that he came to the bar on a job to hunt for the hacker, Dec0, because he broke a bunch of contracts for Schmitt & Wagner. Sven made a bad joke about Kyle being paralyzed, which got him and Hans banished from the holding area. Connors said that if Kyle was helpful he could live and Kyle replied he would rather die. Connors asks if anyone else had any questions and getting a no, Connors and the rest of the crew left. Hans handed off Kyle's armor to Finn as he went, but Finn lagged behind to mercy kill Kyle. Connors told her that was a week of cleaning duties and she questioned if he really thought she had ever done chores.

Hans wondered if they allowed weapons into the club or the black market and decided to try and hide his minigun in his lederhosen, which with some luck managed to do successfully. Finn dressed in a little black dress, layering her bandolier of shotgun shells and her shot gun over the top of casually. Cairo took off his current aviators, crushed them in his palm, then pulled out another pair of aviators with pink rims and put them on. Before leaving the ship, Connors poured himself and Dec0 a shot of good whiskey and afterwards the team headed out. District 4 was slightly more well kept than District 5, but not by much. Around the bend the crew saw a towering building that was twice as tall as any other in the area labelled Detroit Industries. Connors froze at the sight of it, noted that Dec0 never mentioned about Detroit Industries and Dec0 replied it was a conference tower. As Finn asked if there was a problem, Connors couldn't recall actually being there and brushed it off saying no problem.

The interior of the building was nice and well kept, with a sign that announced what was on each floor, most of which were offices until the very top which read *Oni*. While waiting for the elevator, Cairo asked Dec0 if he'd seen any good movies, but Dec0 noted he didn't have a lot of time and Finn asked what the point of crime was if you don't get time off. Sven attempted to ask Dec0 if he would enjoy going out to a movie with him and Hans and possibly get lederhosen, which makes Shae glare at Sven. Dec0 hushed them up until they were in the elevator stating it wasn't a conversation for the public, but once in said he didn't want to because the twins were strange and their dancing in the club was close to something he didn't wish to discuss. Cairo told him off for being rude and the conversation only further derailed until Hans grabbed Cairo and pulled him away. Connors dipped behind Sven as if to hide and Sven tried to put him in his lederhosen like a baby carrier, but Connors managed to wriggle away. The elevator doors eventually opened to flashing lights and thumping music as the crew steps out and into *Oni*.

Cairo finger-gunned his way into and through the crowd dancing in the center of the room while Sven turned back to ask Connors if he would like to stay hidden behind the twins, only to find Connors has already disappeared into the crowd. D0C headed to the edges of the room and darting between the tall tables and booths to snatch snacks as he went. Finn hip checked Shae into Dec0's side, then slipped around to loop her arm through Dec0's other side and asked if they should try finding 23. Dec0 took them to the bar that overlooked the dancefloor and ordered the 3 of them drinks. The twins made a sudden appearance behind them ordering waters. Shae attempted to flirt, but the twins were hovering. Dec0 sent Hans and Sven out onto the dancefloor with a description of 23, pointing to a woman with pink and black hair somewhere in the middle. With the twins gone, Dec0 flirted back, which Finn called "gross" and walked away, while Shae preened under his attention.

On the dancefloor, the twins approached a woman matching that description and and ask if she was 23 by pec popping 23 times. The pec pop seemed to not go over well, but when they mention Dec0 23 seemed less resistant, and as they escorted 23 off the dancefloor and to the bar, Connors spotted them and followed from behind. As they walked Sven asked about 23's love life and 23 replied that she was a companion synth for her job, which seemed to make Sven very uncomfortable and called out for Connors. Sven and Hans brought 23 over to where Finn sat a bit away from the still flirting Dec0 and Shae, 23 called for Dec0, but he asked her to wait while he talked to Shae a bit more. 23 introduced herself as "designation 2.34-C" and that most people called her 23, Finn introduced herself, noting her real name as Delphine, but asked to not be called that and 23 said she'd rather not call her Delphine as she didn't like the name and Finn decided not to take offense. 23 asked what they were doing and Finn replied to wait for Connors, while the twins lamented they couldn't find him. At that comment, a short figure figure with pink hair sitting close to Shae and Dec0 said "yeah, if only we could find Connors..no idea where he went", and after some confusion some of the group, rubbed some of the Disguise Kit off, revealing himself as Connors, but asks to be called Sabel. The twins seem distressed and confused by this, so Finn pulled them aside and distracted them with magic tricks, while Connors talked business with Dec0 and 23.

23 asked if they wanted to go to the black market and expressed concern at having them all go, but eventually agreed to help. Cairo appeared then with two drinks in his hand and his neck and face covered in several different colored lipstick marks. Cairo stumbled a bit, clearly drunk and likely having done some drugs as two girls walked away from him and said goodbye fondly. Shae and Finn wondered how Cairo managed to get the girls to hang out with him, then Shae asked if he paid them and Cairo replied he did not. D0C also appeared, hands full of fried prawns on skewers, as 23 explained she worked upstairs and could get them all there. Sabel then asked if she could make the service elevator work for them to get back down to the ground and she replied she needed an extra 10 minutes but could make it happen. With all that in place, 23 lead the crew to another elevator, where a large individual stood guard, but stepped aside when 23 said they needed to make some purchases.

Haelley laments how hard it is not to slip into Quincy's voice while Zac notes that for some reason every character he's played has said "aye" in a different accent. It's a good time.

### **Part Two**

When the elevator slid open again, the crew was greeted with a bodega of sorts. The black market was a pieced together gathering of vendor stalls between janky buildings all vying for their attention, selling everything from weapons to hack-job Augmentations, brothels and drugs of all kinds. 23 agreed to lead them to where they need to be, but would need to get back to work right after, told Dec0 not to do anything stupid while there and not to let Bren out, then continued to take the lead.

As they walked they were propositioned for cheap eye enhancements, but Finn turned them down saying she already had her own as her eyes flashed. As they stepped past the brothel, the twins cover each other's eyes to protect each other, but managed to get a bit turned around and nearly walked straight into the brothel. Meanwhile, Finn noticed a booth selling an array of drugs, but Sabel noticed and convinced her to wait to buy new drugs until after business is conducted. The twins became distressed as the brothel's workers propositioned them, but Sabel soon had Shae rescue them out of their company. Eventually, 23 took them to a shop where there seemed to be a very large individual sitting inside who seems to be a bit cramped. 23 said this was the man to talk to and his name was Cho, but he couldn't know that she brought them here. Sabel asked for the biometrics to get them into the service elevator which was just beyond Cho's shop and down a small alley before 23 left. After she gave the biometrics required, she whispered something to Dec0, which Shae overheard as her warning Dec0 not to do anything stupid and then left.

Cairo told them all to play it cool and walked straight into the shop, which Connors chose to not stop. The crew watched from the doorway of the shop as Cairo approached the man, noted to be as tall as Hans & Sven inside and saw the interesting items across the walls. Cho greeted Cairo and Cairo stated they had business, which confused the man, and when Cairo mentioned the 80lb EMP the man only clammed up even further. Cairo tried to leverage the fact that he knew Dec0, but the man said he didn't know him. Connors entered the shop soon after, introduced himself as Sable, said he heard the other man's name was Cho and asked for a more private place to talk, but Cho chose to remain where he was. Connors agreed and mentioned that he heard he had a large EMP for sale and would like to purchase it. He also added he heard from a "little birdie" that Cho needed to get rid of it anyway which should mark down the price a bit. Cho says he found the convenience of Sable's appearance suspicious, noting he hadn't told anyone about obtaining the EMP and asks after the little birdie, but Sable insisted that wasn't how their line of work operates, which he was sure he knew and Cho reluctantly agreed.

Cho accepted their deal handing back a chip with 2,000,000 Wonlongs still on it. Cho then opened his desk causing a compartment to open up, which revealed a large cylinder and Finn shoved the twins, as the muscle of the group, to go grab it. Sable asked them to look the EMP over to ensure it's legitimacy, which they were able to do and could tell it was not marked or tracked and had a simple detonation system. Sable used the moment to stealthily private message Shae over the comms and asked her to distract Dec0. Shae pulls Dec0 into a kiss rendering him distracted, while Sable attempted to transfer the leftover 2,000,000 Wonlongs, from the transaction chip to his own account. As Sable tried to pass the chip with new funds to Hans, who was walking past with the EMP, they heard a chittering noise and Dec0's eyes opened aware and asked what they were doing, aware that something had happened thanks to his robotic squirrel. Finn, sensing a problem and connecting some dots, asked Shae not to stab her and yanked Dec0 down to kiss him in an attempt to continue distracting him. While all of that was happening, Cairo was the only one to notice that the robotic squirrel had disappeared from Dec0's shoulder, and attempted to let them know.

Sabel soon felt a stirring in his pocket and looked down in time to see the squirrel leap from his pocket with both the drives, the one Connors had swapped the money onto and Dec0's now empty drive, as it ran back to Dec0. Sabel didn't waste a moment, shot the squirrel straight through, stopping it in its tracks, which only seemed to upset Dec0 further as he pulled away from Finn and Shae. As Cairo ran over to grab the drives stolen by the squirrel, Dec0 used an *Exploit* to cause a grenade on Sabel's body to explode, hitting everyone in the vicinity. Sable tried to dive away from everyone else, but everyone was still hit to some degree with Hans goes Unconscious in his attempt to save the EMP from the blast. Sable trained his gun at Dec0 and attempted to play dumb claiming his squirrel stole from drive, while D0C ran to Hans to heal him, and Dec0 replied that Sable was the one stealing from him. from him. In response Sabel shot Dec0, while Sven also shot him in retaliation for his brother and both attacks dropping Dec0 easily, but Dec0's fail safe went off and the crew's HUDs were blasted with an excruciatingly loud ping noise and they all take damage.

D0C and Finn healed themselves a bit as they noticed the sound of heavy footsteps getting close as they realize that Dec0's last attack didn't hit just them, but everyone within a radius around them. As the crew stepped outside and into the market, they noticed people in the area clutching their heads and saw six individuals, all dressed in similar dark armor with phase swords, come around the corner and towards them. Sven tries to push blame on the dead Dec0, but was ignored and the crew know this would end in a fight.

Sven quickly took in the situation, and noting his options were to run down an alley way to either side of their group to escape or face them head on in the street, sent out a similar *Ping Echo* as Dec0 did to try and incapacitate some of the approaching guards, and readied himself to follow whichever way the others went. Sabel, knowing the service elevator was down the alleyway to their backs, shot one of the forward most guards, reiterated that Dec0 double crossed them and made a run for that direction, with Sven following on his heels. Finn pulled out a flash bang from her bandolier and hurled it into the center of the mass of guards, managing to blind and deafen half of them while they all take took damage, then followed Sven and Sabel. Two of the guards advanced on Cairo, with only one of the slashes hitting Cairo, which left Cairo Unconscious on the ground. Another guard went towards Shae and another to Hans, with both missing with their attacks on them. The remaining guards advanced further before one hucked a grenade into Shae and Hans with the resulting blast leaving both *Unconscious* on the ground.

D0C rushed past Hans who was near to him, dipped down give him a Quick Heal to revive him, then used the rest of his movement to catch up to Sven and Connors. Sven, angered having seen his brother go down, used an exploit to Exploding Grenade one of farther distant guards, taking them and another guard farther away down, while also damaging the guard near Cairo's unconscious body. Connors swiped the biometric keycard into the elevator which opened the doors to wait for the crew, and though tempted momentarily to duck into the elevator to save himself, ran back to hurl a grenade near Dec0's body to hit two more guards, but also damaged Shae's unconscious body. Finn shot the guard still hovering over Shae, hitting but not killing him, but decided to enter the fray, ducked down to Quick Heal Shae and told her death doesn't look good on her. Unfortunately, the guard that watched Finn heal Shae stabbed her down with his katana which left Finn unconscious . The two guards still standing over Cairo ended him viciously, taking the instant critical hits against his unconscious form, with Cairo's last words being directed to Connors -

*"Thanks for nothing, you useless reptile."*

The remaining guard went for a strike on Hans's unconscious body and somehow managed to miss him. Shae frantically searched Finn's body for something to heal her with, found a few syringes and vials in her bandolier of shotgun shells, and knowing Finn barely knew what was and wasn't drugged, hesitated before picking one at random and stabbing her with it, which healed Finn, but also managed to drug her giving a disadvantage on attacks for her next turn. Shae then made a run for it, and while Finn used her reaction to impose disadvantage on the guard's attack of opportunity, saving Shae from a critical hit, Shae still went down. Hans stood from where he had fallen unconscious and attempted to make a run for Cairo's body, but was taken out with an attack of opportunity. D0C ran in the direction of Finn and Shae, surprised everyone when he pulled a katana out of his labcoat, slashed the guard in front of them, managing to decapitate him, then used Quick Healing on Shae, with Finn the only to see that when he charged and attack, his eyes temporarily were un-constricted and a tiny hint of lucidness was in his expression.

Sven dropped the EMP at Connors feet ripping off his lederhosen in the process, telling him to leave, ran into the fight, then used his exploit *Exploding Grenade* on the middle guard of the remaining three hitting Hans and Shae and himself in the process, leaving Shae Unconscious again and hand losing a death save, but managed to kill one guard and heavily injured another. Connors, surveying the carnage and figuring out a connection between the Yakuza and Detroit Industries in his head, stepped forward and dropped his disguise before yelling out -

"*This is Counter Intelligence Supervisory Special Agent Elijah Connors, stand down! Cease hostilities!"*

The two remaining Yakuza guards paused, looked at Connors and slowly backed off to turn and leave. An immediate flurry of movement was made as those capable of healing made for their unconscious allies. Connors dropped to a knee beside Cairo and angrily smacked the ground exclaiming he hated it when he lost men, especially good ones. As they started to hear the sound of footsteps coming their way, Hans collected a phase sword and Cairo's body, while Sven took the body of a guard and the EMP. Finn dipped beside another body, snatched two frag grenades on her way to the elevator with the others, while Connors managing to collect a frag grenade and a phase sword.

Once inside the elevator and headed down, Sven hacked into the elevator to pause and asks what they were planning to do if met with force on the bottom floor after the chaos they just causes. While they talked, the elevator restarted it's descent downward. They decided they would all stand on top of the elevator by climbing through a service door in the roof, while Connors would remain in the main carriage to handle anything and let them know when the coast was clear. When the door slid open revealing a back alley of District 4, Connors saw there didn't appear to be anyone waiting for them, and with the coast clear shot down the security cameras and ensured there weren't any traps in their way of getting out of the area.

As they made their way through the streets Connors kept an eye on their surroundings, and thought he saw something following them, but didn't find anything when he doubled back to check before returning to lead the crew in several winding paths and circles before making it back to the Decryptor. Sven attempted to use his Advanced HUD to sense anyone in the area and comes up with a few pings, but nothing that seems to be following them until they were closer to the ship and sensed someone on a roof above them, that then disappeared very quickly. Sven attempts to use his exploit *Hack Mech* but it failed to do anything. Sven tries to stall returning to the ship but Connors insisted it was time to rest.

Back at the ship, Connors suggested everyone get some rest and left to hole away in the captain's quarters while everyone grieved the loss of Cairo differently. Finn asks where to put his body and Scarlett told them the medical bay across from Finn's lab would be best. Hans puts the body down there before returning to Cairo's room, wrote on a small piece of paper the only quote he knew

*"Yippee Ki Yay, motherfucker"*

and left it there before going to the sauna to wait for Sven.

Shae went to her room quietly and less bright then she usually was. When Sven and Hans are together they silently decided to give Cairo a proper burial as their Space Sweden roots required and went off in a room with Cairo's body, hammers, nails, a large canvas and some paint and locked the door. D0C went to his room, having previously tried to stifle his usual cackling for the sake of keeping quiet, let himself go and exploded with laughter louder and more deranged than ever before, as his hands clawed his face in an attempt to stop his smile and laugh. Finn went to her lab and tried to bury herself in her experiments, but grew quickly frustrated and swiped all of her work off the table.

As the scene closed the last view panned in Cairo's room, on a picture frame with him and his brother on the first day he got on to the force, all happy, with the message

*"Happy Birthday Little Bro, I'm so proud of you"*

with the little brother now reunited with his elder in death.

1. ↑ Mak rolled a nat 20 on his stealth for this
2. ↑ Jessa rolls a perception check to perceive how hot these girls are and Darrin says they are either on parr with Shae or a little above depending on Shae's self esteem that day and Jessa asserts that Shae doesn't think anyone is hotter than her
3. ↑ Zac calls him a "Wormer" which is a type of person in *Carbon 2185* who has travelled through space for so long at such high speeds that it has altered them physically to be very tall with extremely long arms and legs
4. ↑ The price was originally at 30 million Wonlongs which was the exact amount on the chip Dec0 had given them. Darrin noted that Sable's persuasion checks dropped the price by mentioning Cho needed to get the EMP off his hands quickly
5. ↑ This grenade was originally aimed at Finn and Sven, which left Sven *Unconscious,* but after Jon's reminder that one of them was blind, the target was retconned, restoring them both, resulting in the change of results.
6. ↑ NATURAL 20 BABYYYY
7. ↑ Zac had originally intended to hand the EMP to Connors, but Connors has a strength of 8 and would not be able to hold the 80lb EMP
