The Nastiest Beats This Side of the Jred Frontier

We just fucked up the guy who fucked over Benat. Syncestraea gave us a nte of whats his face to be a mercenary band, as well as coordinates for a ship debris field from which we could repair the S.S. Good Times. We also picked up Illana, a Pariah turn coat.
 
We will want to avoid Pariah on our way there for sure. Also good to try and avoid Sol but it won't be completely unavoidable. Lucid is slowly becoming less and less welcome there.
 
Along the way, we are going to pass through Space China, Space India etc.
 
Lucid decides she's going to start making music, just the nastiest psi-core music. You know white noise? brown noise? She's attempting to make Ultra-Violet noise.
Lucid asks Ilana to contribute, but she had too many music lessons as a young person, so she can't really growl or anything like that. She has an okay Blood curdling scream. She's something of a mezzo-soprano.
 
Peter brokers us a contract to bring a sycestraea diplomat to Space China Capital.
 
Diplomat is well dressed, but not obnoxiously fancy, fuckable androgynous cyberpunk, similar to Jack from Mass Effect. Their name is Aran Abello. They are a local city commissioner who wants to do a sister city program
 
Lucid's music is a turn off for Aran, but Benat suggests a change in genre, which inadvertently makes him into Lucid's best wing man. The hook up happens on day 3, and Lucid makes Day 4 fairly awkward.
There is something about Aran/the encounter with Aran that Lucid is failing to notice.
 
Peter has a strict "no drinks on the bridge" policy, because of the time Lucid spilled a mtn dew on the console, and the buttons never clicked and clacked the same after that.
 
We each pay 52,500 per person for fuel
 
4 days to get to Ziu Liang, and 3 days there.
 
On Ziu Liang Lucid finds an open mic and performs some of her new music. She uses the gig fee to buy drinks for everyone in the club.
The club she is playing at is absolutely the crustiest little diy bar. Like beyond the normal level of sticky bar floor, you have to double knot your shoe laces to keep them on.
Rock Me Amadeus is one of her inspirations
 
We get paid 51,835 for delivering Aran to Ziu Liang (Having deducted the gas and repairs for the jump to Ziu Liang)
 
I turn my performance into a Carouse, there is cargo on a nearby planet that needs to be "liberated" the pay check is high, but it's a crime. So we might pass on the criming. So Lucid gets called a poser for not wanting to do crimes, even tho shes working for work at Crimes R Us
 
Peter does some Brokering and finds us a "Rescue Op" a mid level official has gone missing near the borser, maybe kidnapped by Pariah while working in Xin Heinan. If we can make as much as 1.2 million, depending on what condition they are in and whether or not they were actually abducted.
 
2 Days to Guang Dong, then a Week to Xin Heinan
 
We all have to pay 26,250 for gas
 
We are going to be stealthy hopping into Xin Heinan. It is eerily quiet here.
 
Let's run a sensor sweep. Lucid feels to be sneaky about it. Spaceport was under bombardment. Lucoid gets return pings from the other side of the planet. They are low power and distinctly pariahn in nature. We ask Illana to take a look at the return pings. She cannot confirm that it is pariahn or not. Especially as she is not a sensor operator
 
15 minutes later we get a message saying the system is under occupation and to prepare for inspection. let's GTFO. Except we have no gas and we need some time to plot our approach.
 
We have homework of reading up on space combat rules.
