Chapter 1: Station
Iseph can feel the heat from the laser fire his shields have absorbed to this point. "Can't take much more of that." Drawing his pistol, he leans over the rail, takes aim at one of the humans on the ladder. The operative quips as he squeezes the trigger, "Not so fast."
Number Two: "You are number six."
Number Six: "I am not a number, I am a free man!"
Number Two: "Muh ha ha ha ha!"

Chapter 1: Station
The mechanic finds his statement to be prophetic, as he leans over the railing and beans one of the Mercs right in the shoulder. The man grunts with pain, and keeps on climbing.
The Shirren priest acts as if the hand of his Goddess guides his movement. He jumps over the railing with nary a thought, one hand grasping onto the vines of the Vat Garden, and glides gracefully to the ground. He then makes a flicking motion with his hand, and a brick flies towards the ghoul's face, and she has to duck to avoid the projectile.
Iseph is calm as the night, leaning over the edge with her pistol and firing without mercy at the big mercenaries trying to resist them. Her first bullet pierces the neck of the lead goon, and he falls to the side, almost dislodging his partner. Her second almost seems to magically weave through the tangling of torso and limb, and tears into the side of the second human. He barely seems coherent, his adrenaline the only thing keeping him moving.
Finally, Reia moves to act, having gotten over the shock of the unveiling of the undead's form. Two missiles of light burst forth from the Technomancer's hands, one each to the enemy. The human has clearly had enough, and passes out unconscious, falling on his already dead companion. The ghoul screams in pain, not looking too good herself.
"I surrender! I surrender!" The ghoul throws away her weapons, and draws her tongue back into her mouth. Exegara seems to have had enough.

Chapter 1: Station
Quig quickly reloads as the ghoul surrenders, he doesn't trust it, with the gun reloaded he leans over the railing and trains his weapon on it ready to shoot if it tries something foolish. "Talk! Explain this!" Scout zooms around the room seeking any further hidden threats.

Chapter 1: Station
The ghoul hisses in defeat, making no moves to attack or run away. Her voice is hollow and disturbing, a parody of living tones and cadence. "Will explain anything you ask. What do you want? I was digging for skulls, no business of yours. Unless they were relatives you care about. Human skulls, so doubtful there, ysoki. You looked threatening, so I shot. Anyone smart would do that same, in these parts of the Station."

Quigg adjusts some of his things, "*I* looked threatening? Thank you." He looks at the others, "We are here looking for answers, not for dead relatives." He looks to the others, and whispers to them, "What were we doing again? I was...distracted at the pawn shop." He winks.

Exegara looks both confused and peeved. "Well, you've got guns on me. What do you want! Can't answer if I don't know the questions."

"Oh yes yes, answers to questions....Are you Exegara? Sold some Starfinder badges to a junker named Julzakama? We need info on where those badges came from." He wiggles his gun around to reminder her she's out gunned here.

Keskodai maintains a grim silence, his gaze unflinching at the grave-mocking abomination Quig holds at gunpoint. Chitin seems to grind as he clutches his staff ever tighter.

Chapter 1: Station
"Yes, yes, I'm Exegara. And damn that junker. Should have kept his mouth shut." She spits on the ground in disgust. "I was recently recruited into the Corpse Fleet, aboard a vessel called the Endless Threnody. We picked up a distress call from a Starfinder ship, and found it crashed on some desert planet. We picked up some goodies, and those insignias." She pauses, thinking for a bit. "Before we could get into the Drift to rejoin the Fleet, some damn pirates, on the Lawblight, attacked us and crippled the ship. We managed to get into the Drift before being destroyed, but the vessel is adrift. I was sent here to sell some treasure, and get materials to repair the ship."
She reaches into the pocket, pulls out a datapad, and throws it up to you. "There. It's got the location of my ship. No idea what the planet was named, or where it is. But I'm sure the Nav computer has the data."

Chapter 1: Station
Quig catches the data pad and holsters her gun and starts to tap away on it. He hacks into it and scrolls through the data looking for jump point, nav information, anything that might lead the group to the location of the crashed Starfinder ship and the planet the ghoul mentioned. "Hmmm, mmmm, hmmm..."
