Mira suggested an ambush and Jon only obliged with an excellent, secluded spot for such action. [20:13] <@BradGM> While the three thugs were easily convinced to surrender, the woman was more stubborn and got into a scuffle with Lyra. The goons revealed that a certain Vladaym Tocara is paying the bounty, and that the firefight a few hours ago at Poone’s Flophouse is now a known event. [20:13] <@BradGM> They are allowed to leave with their lives; the young woman however, ended up being clubbed by Jon’s shock maul, sending her flying into unconsciousness.+++ [20:13] <@BradGM> ++++++++End Transmission++++++++ [20:14] <@BradGM> **The footstep's of the last goons echoes further and further in the distance as he run off.** [20:16] * Grendel glances down at the unconscious goon. "And this one?" [20:17] <@BradGM> **The shock maul did a number on her; she's going to have the bruses of that one for a while.** [20:17]  "I don't think we really have a use for her." [20:20]  "Don't think she knows more than the others?" [20:20] * Grendel activates the shrug routine. "It is unlikely to be very effective. I will attempt to locate more data on Vladaym Tocara." [20:21]  "If she does, we may not get that info for a bit, given her state." [20:21] <@BradGM> **With the inquiries you all did a day or two ago, the name is familiar, and is associated storngly with the Kasballica.** [20:22] * Grendel switchces to code. "Most likely they recognize us from previous dealings." [20:23]  "Just leave her" Jon says as he deactivates his power maul "She'll be another warning to the next thugs that think of taking the job" [20:25]  "Let's get back on track then, if no one else has an idea." [20:27]  The arbite nods, and walks back to his bike [20:29] <@BradGM> ((What now guyws?)) [20:29] * Grendel resumes his walk, heading back for the safehouse, his auspex active. @@I still need to examine the map you made.@@ [20:30]  ((Well, we could attack Vladaym and stop the attacks at the heart of it.

[20:36]  (( which of the rooms are we at? )) [20:36] * Jon_Wake drives back, taking a few side roads to avoid any followers [20:37] <@BradGM> ((Well, depends where you are;;either suite E or sutie 5)) [20:39] <@BradGM> ((Either/or you're safe in one of them)) [20:40]  ((hopefully the place with the map :) )) [20:40] <Mira_Atella> (( I guess Grendel/Jon's room since they are doing the map thing? )) [20:41] <@BradGM> ((ok)) [20:41] * Mira_Atella follows the two to their room.

[20:53] <@BradGM> **Common lore (koronus Expanse)** [20:54] <Mira_Atella> "Alright. We need to decide then how we're getting there. Either the Dread Pearl, or finding another ship. Both have ups and downs, with a new ship having more negatives."

The Dread Pearl would be safer, and also we won't be in something the Dread Pearl could fire on." [21:02] <Grendel> "The cities are fighting." [21:04] <@BradGM> ((Dread Pearl is a treasure planet)) [21:06] <@BradGM> **You did learn that the Dread Pearl can only be found by finding unknown 'Nexuses'; perhaps there's one there?** [21:07] <Grendel> ((Blitz's ship is the Ordained Destiny, btw)) [21:08] <Grendel> "Perhaps another Nexus. Though how do we convince Blitz to go there?" [21:08] <Mira_Atella> (( Yeah, that's what I was meaning to say )) [21:10] <Mira_Atella> "He should only know what we do as well. Suggestions would probably be helpful to him." [21:10] <Jon_Wake> ((What were the other spots?)) [21:12] <Grendel> ((other spots?)) [21:13] <@BradGM> **The odd coloured spot is the world of Vaporius; the other same coloured one is a stallar phenomenon called the Processoinnal of the damned.** [21:14] * Grendel relays the information, pointing them out.

[21:22] <Grendel> "We could tell Blitz about the Nexus and hope he takes us simply to screw over Von Gould, but that requires revealing information." Grendel activates the shrug routine again. "It may be worth it." [21:23] <Mira_Atella> "Maybe. Or it could end badly if we say we lied before about our reason for going." [21:24] <Grendel> "If von Gould is going to that planet then we must as well." [21:25] <Mira_Atella> "Yes. It's a matter of finding a new ship, or hoping Blitz doesn't care when we change our reasoning." [21:26] <Grendel> ((Is there a cogitator or something that I could access to see if any ships are going in that direction and what they charge?)) [21:27] <@BradGM> ((no)) [21:27] <@BradGM> ((Or more, that info is not something that's avaialble like that)) [21:29] <Grendel> ((Damned Grimdark world!)) [21:29] <@BradGM> ((that and it,s not Imperium spacE)) [21:29] <Grendel> "A decision must be made." [21:31] <Mira_Atella> "We've seen how Blitz' ship handles an attack. That's a big bonus there." [21:31] <Jon_Wake> "We could attempt to subtly prod him in the right direction. He is after the same prize, and dropping the hint may cause him to go there on his own choice" [21:32] <Mira_Atella> "And if not.. there's always killing him and taking his ship. Which presents its own problems." [21:32] <Grendel> "Commanding it. Piloting it." [21:33] <Jon_Wake> "Not getting killed by the crew" [21:34] <Mira_Atella> "Given the current state of things, I'm not sure we have a choice. There's no guarantee we can find another ship in a reasonable amount of time, or at all." [21:35] <Jon_Wake> "I could ask around. I might be able to find something" [21:35] <Mira_Atella> "You'll need to be quick. Blitz is expecting our answer about going with him or not." [21:36] * Mira_Atella checks how much time until the 2 day deadline on a decision is reached. [21:37] <@BradGM> **Well, you did wawit 30 hours, so you're starting the day you planned on contacting Havoc and giving your answer** [21:38] <Mira_Atella> "Our answer has to be given today. Plan accordingly." [21:39] <@BradGM> **It is 0840** [21:42] <@BradGM> ((So Jon hits the streets...disguise?))
