Time to extract some journalistes, travelling on someone else's transport, which means leaving shit behind. Thankfully I am allowed to bring my "Rescue Unit"
We are travelling with a private courier company, who's mandate is travelling between rivals in the sol sector engaged in a cold war.
The journalist we are trying to extract is in the process of trying to self deport, or we can scoop her up and help her out.
We send a message to the journalist saying "We are friends of Gen" There is a lot of tension in the street.
She responds "Follow the tracking protocol" and our device starts wibble wobble in a particular direction. Very subtle device. it vibrates
We have 3 or 4 days or so until our ride leaves without us.
The device is sending us into the wilderness. Eurasian Steppe type of environment. "You get the impression there aren't a lot of large trees" lots of great large plains and grass lands, native herders keep sheep like animals, khagan ovis. we get this information from space wikipedia. the native peoples are the Arush.
"There's no wifi out here!" Lucid complains as we are lead to the mountains.
We start looking for some indigenous folks we can befriend. Some of the kids enjoy Lucid's chewing gum. we are able to get some directions from them.
We have met the journalist, Valenti before the end of the day, where they are residing in a yurt, living with a local family, who they seem to know.
Valenti pokes their face out of the yurt, and is visibly relieved to see us, who do not look like customs officers.
Benat Peter and Aidan take watch over night
Dice Rolls
all clear!
Lucid is able to get a fake id for Valenti to enter the city, but when you enter the city, they scan your face and check it against a database, and not against the ID
Benat and Aidan are gonna be up to their waist in waste to get valenti in through the sewers. Lucid and Peter greet the three of them with fresh pants and socks and air fresheners for our smeely friends. we walk another half kilometer to return to our ship where we have showers and what not.
