A new opportunity awaits Arden. Or is it more of a chore?
- 📖 Cole had a valid point and he tried to spent as little time as needed on the planet. He had what he wanted and the sooner he would be back in space the better. Unfortunately he did not escape unscathed and his first order of business was to find someone that could tend to his wounds.
🎲 Sojourn: 6(5+1) vs 7/8 (Miss) - 📖 A young doctor looked at Ardens wounds. They were hastily treated and it showed. The doctor mustered Arden, as if I suspected were the wounds came from.
"Look. This is the most I can give you." He handed Arden a pack of painkillers. "There was supposed to be a shipment a few days ago, but it never arrived. Supplies got scarce after that. If you want better help, you would need to get that shipment." - 📖 "Space is kind of a big. I need a bit more detail than just go out and search."
"I don't know much, but from what I've heard the ship was entering the sector. That should narrow it down."
Arden chuckled. It looks like the good doctor wasn't all to familiar with outer space travel. Although it narrowed it, it was still a needle in a roughly one parsec search radius. But it would be additional experience in exploring uncharted territory. So he agreed.
🎲 Swear an Iron Vow (Dangerous): Strong Hit (Sojourn) - 🐦 New Sector: Cygnus Maw
- 📖 With that vague description, Arden set off into space again, finally alone again - except for Pandora of course. It felt good to stretch again physically and mentally after his time in prison. Free again in the emptiness of space.
🎲 Undertake an Expedition (+wits): 8(5+3) vs 1/6 (Strong Hit) - 📖 His first foray away from civilization after this time came to an abrupt halt. As soon as he exited the drift into realspace, alerts started blaring.
'Ship signature detected. Energy buildup.'
🎲 Explore a Waypoint: 7(4+3) vs 7/8 (Miss) - 📖 Arden was being hailed. He pressed the button to open up communications.
"My my. What have we here. This is our territory and you best handover some credits ..." Arden pressed the button again and cut him off.
"Pirates. Figures."
Then he prepared himself and the ship for what was to come.
