Here is the summary of the session based strictly on the provided transcript, using the requested format and in Spanish from Spain.

Session Title: Clues in Paradise and the Jump to Borite

PJs present:

• Nemo (Captain)
• Juan “Jimmy” (Security/Investigator)
• Paloma “Honor” (Merchant/Broker)
• Rocío “Taya” (Engineer/Pilot)
• Emilio “Pika” (Sensors/Astrographer)

NPCs present:

• Provost Shala (Local leader in Torpol)
• Provost’s Secretary
• Captain Daniel Blau (Merchant captain)
• Holmer (Scrap dealer)
• Lady Hil / Captain Blaine (Mentor on the ship)

Important developments in the PJs’ lives or the campaign:

• The crew has obtained a potential new mission (“side quest”) from the Torpol authorities to steal technology on the planet Talhasa, which would improve diplomatic relations between Torpol and the Kingdom of Drinax.
• It has been confirmed that the target of their current pursuit (the vargr pirate Captain Krrsh/Crash) has fled towards the Borite system.
• The PJs’ ship, the Harrier (Banshee), has suffered structural damage and a critical hit to the jump drive due to a risky refueling maneuver.

Loose ends / Pending items:

• The Talhasa mission: Provost Shala has requested the kidnapping of Doctor Torcan and the theft of seeds from a floating biological facility. It remains to be decided when to carry it out.
• Repairs: The ship has hull damage and a critical issue with the jump drive that require costly repairs (spare parts) and time.
• Origin of the scrap: Krrsh sold old but highly selected computer components. It is unknown where he obtained them.

Scene 1: Bureaucracy and Bribes

PJs present: Nemo, Pika, Juan, Paloma. NPCs present: Spaceport officials (Bureaucrats). Location: Administrative offices and Police Station (Planet Torpol). Ships mentioned: Miseries Company (Scout, Captain Krrsh/Crash), Sarcomond (Far Trader Merchant, Captain Daniel Blau).

Scene summary: Nemo and Pika attempt to arrange a meeting with a Provost through official channels and diplomacy, but fail miserably, losing two days in bureaucratic procedures. In parallel, Juan and Paloma go to the administration. Juan bribes an official with 500 credits (plus help from Paloma) to access the records. They discover that the ship they are looking for is the Miseries Company, captained by a vargr named Krrsh (or Crash). They learn that he sold computer scrap to a merchant named Holmer and had an armed confrontation with the ship Sarcomond before fleeing.

Scene 2: Orbital Maintenance

PJs present: Rocío. NPCs present: Lady Hil / Captain Blaine (Veteran pirate mentor). Location: Aboard the Banshee (Torpol orbital spaceport). Ships mentioned: Banshee (Harrier, Captain Nemo).

Scene summary: While the rest of the group is on the surface, Rocío remains on the ship performing maintenance and cleaning tasks. She takes the opportunity to chat with Captain Blaine, who tells her pirate stories and gives her advice. Rocío tries to coordinate with the group on the ground but gets bored waiting.

Scene 3: Encounter with Captain Blau

PJs present: Juan, Paloma, Nemo, Pika. NPCs present: Captain Daniel Blau (Gruff merchant captain, hates pirates and Drinaxians). Location: Sports bar in a Resort (Planet Torpol). Ships mentioned: Sarcomond (Far Trader, Captain Daniel Blau), Miseries Company (Scout, Captain Krrsh).

Scene summary: Juan and Paloma locate Captain Blau watching a water polo match. After buying him a beer and using persuasion, Blau tells them that Krrsh tried to assault him, demanding his cargo. Blau, who had hidden turrets, returned fire and damaged the pirate ship. He heard Krrsh panic and order an emergency jump towards the Borite system. When Nemo and Pika arrive at the bar, Blau spits on the floor and curses the “Drinaxians,” so Juan discreetly orders them to withdraw to avoid ruining their cover.

Scene 4: An Indecent Proposition

PJs present: Rocío. NPCs present: Provost Shala (Political leader, elegant and calculating), Provost’s Secretary. Location: Luxury restaurant with panoramic views (Planet Torpol). Ships mentioned: None.

Scene summary: Rocío receives a call on the ship summoning her to an urgent meeting. She goes down to the surface and meets Provost Shala at a luxurious breakfast. Shala, knowing they are Drinax agents, offers them a deal: if they carry out a covert mission on the planet Talhasa (Dispres/Sindal Sector) to steal genetic samples and kidnap the scientist Doctor Torcan from a floating base, Torpol will consider an alliance with King Oleb. Rocío agrees to relay the message to her captain. Shala sends them the target information.

Scene 5: The Scrap Dealer Holmer

PJs present: Juan, Paloma, Nemo (observing), Pika (observing). NPCs present: Holmer (Scrap dealer, short, bald, and fat). Location: Scrap warehouse (Planet Torpol). Ships mentioned: None.

Scene summary: The group visits Holmer. Juan discreetly places a hidden microphone while Paloma negotiates the purchase of spare parts to gain his trust. Holmer confirms that Krrsh sold him a shipment of old but good condition computer parts. He mentions that the pirate was alone in his ship (unusual for a Scout) and seemed to be in a hurry. After a small additional bribe, Holmer shows them the merchandise, confirming that Krrsh is a petty thief who likely fled in fear.

Scene 6: Disastrous Refueling and Jump

PJs present: All. NPCs present: Lady Hil / Captain Blaine. Location: Gas Giant (Torpol System) and Deep Space. Ships mentioned: Banshee (Harrier, Captain Nemo).

Scene summary: The group decides to depart immediately for Borite to pursue Krrsh. To save money, Nemo orders the refueling of unrefined fuel in a local gas giant instead of buying it. Paloma pilots the ship into the giant’s atmosphere but fails a piloting roll. The Banshee suffers significant damage (10% of the hull) and receives a critical hit to the jump drive. Despite the damage and the unrefined fuel, Pika calculates the route and they manage to make the jump to the Borite system, where they hope to find the pirate and repair the ship.
