Plot Development and Reconstruction of the Drinax Kingdom

• Elimination of a direct threat: The imperial marine Salvedes has been ambushed and eliminated, reducing the combat capability of the enemy ship.
• Intelligence gathering: Personal communications of Captain Torso have been accessed, revealing his incompetence and dissatisfaction with the crew.
• Strategic repositioning: The players’ ship, the Banshee, has been moved to orbit to avoid terrestrial detection and prepare for the assault.

Loose Ends

• Salvedes’ disappearance has been noted on the Martin II, and an investigation with local authorities has been initiated.
• The decryption of the purser/astrogator’s data is in progress and will take 6 days, coinciding with the convoy’s arrival.
• The funeral or final disposition of Wolf’s body is pending after being brought aboard the ship.
• The Astrogator Blue showed nervousness when discussing the jump chamber; they suspect she is hiding something.

The Cemetery Trap

PCs present: Nemo, Fermín, Jimmy. NPCs present: Salvedes (Imperial Marine, aggressive, martial arts expert), Wolf (Corpse with a broken neck). Location: Abandoned cemetery (Planet Arunisiir). Ships: None.

Scene Summary: The group sets an ambush for Salvedes in an abandoned industrial cemetery filled with niches and a hermitage. Upon positioning themselves, they discover the corpse of their companion Wolf with a broken neck; Salvedes was already there. The marine throws a smoke grenade and attacks Fermín. A brutal hand-to-hand combat ensues where Salvedes disarms and immobilizes Fermín, attempting to stab him. Jimmy fires his Gauss Rifle, grazing Fermín, and finally Nemo, using his grav-belt to gain height, fires his laser rifle and takes down Salvedes, leaving him mortally wounded before being finished off.

Forensic Cleanup

PCs present: Nemo, Fermín, Álvaro, Jimmy. NPCs present: None alive. Location: Abandoned cemetery and a ruined industrial ship (Planet Arunisiir). Ships: Terrestrial van.

Scene Summary: After the combat, the group decides to leave no trace. They strip Salvedes’ corpse of all equipment (Imperial laser rifle, body pistol, armor, knife). Álvaro and Fermín handle the “cleanup”: they extract an eye and a finger from the marine for potential future biometric uses. Subsequently, they move the body to an isolated area where they dismember and burn it using quicklime and fuel to prevent genetic identification, disposing of the remains and unwanted equipment in different locations.

Infiltration and Gossip

PCs present: Pika, Álvaro (Mentioned). NPCs present: The Astrogator “Blue” (Modified human female from the planet Dolberg, Sindal sector. She has blue skin, layers of fat, and gills). Location: Mess hall and barracks of the Martin II (Imperial Ship). Ships: Martin II (Imperial Freighter, Captain Torso).

Scene Summary: Inside the Martin II, Pika tries to extract information from the Astrogator. She discovers that she is from Dolberg (an aquatic world), that she worked in the merchant navy, and that she becomes nervous when talking about astrogation and the jump chamber. In parallel, Paloma hacks Captain Torso’s computer. His emails reveal that he is an incompetent from a good family (Pax Rulin) who despises his crew (especially officer María Gad) and complains to his mother that “they don’t make marines like they used to.”

Change of Position

PCs present: Nemo, Fermín, Pika (via communication), Álvaro. NPCs present: Tía, Krish. Location: Camp on land and Orbit of Arunisiir. Ships: Banshee (Light Destroyer, PCs), Martin II.

Scene Summary: The group decides that the Banshee is vulnerable on the ground. They order Tía and the NPC crew (taking Wolf’s body) to take the ship to orbit and maintain radio silence, activating stealth to make scanning difficult. Pika establishes an encrypted and brief communication protocol to maintain contact between the ground team and the ship. They prepare to wait for the remaining 6 days until the convoy arrives, while on the Martin II suspicions begin to arise due to Salvedes’ absence.
