B-001: Spanial (N-space to Jump Point)

Having successfully delivered the mystery cargo container back to Zayaire, the Spanial crew have been chartered to caché the cargo of salvaged anti-ship missiles in the Zarg’s World system and then return to Mundo Zargo, where Lia has already had a taste of the political maneuverings afoot.

Meanwhile Raina wants to see her favourite escort and a missed payment and other events mean that new parties are taking an interest in this somewhat shady merchant crew…

Spanial (N-space to Jump Point)

Once the VO from the Module intro fades, we pick up in Spanial Control having just left Mundo Zargo Highport…

Merchant freighter Spanial departed Mundo Zargo Highport at GG06 on <Lia Day 73> outbound for the jump point to Zarg’s World.

ETA at the jump point is BG07 on <Lia Day 74>, followed by an estimated 8 Cycles in jump for an arrival time at Zarg’s World around <Lia Day 82>.

Karmen and Jennie are planning the missile-hiding job, which Lia overhears and is welcome to participate in.  The default plan is using the big asteroid in the Asteroid Belt in Orbit 7 where they dropped off the comm buoy previously to stash the missiles.

Jennie notes that there are no big masses in the outer orbits of Zarg’s World and so again this will be a difficult jump to execute.  She’s going to try and use the Small Ice planet in Orbit 8, as from Mundo Zargo the star will be behind it to catch the ship if the jump goes wrong, though it’s a little bit of a trip around the system to get to the asteroid in question.  When she arrives, she says, she might be able to spot a better asteroid target.

Karmen notes there’s an outpost on the eighth planet and they’ll likely be exposed to the sensors when they arrive.

Jennie says an alternative is the small planet in orbit 11, but it’s a long way in from there and there’s nothing behind it to catch them if the jump is off.

At some point, they have to check in with Legion Customs on system arrival.

The player can follow the link from ‘Zarg’s World’ above to see the orbital configuration of the system.

Does Lia have any thoughts on the plan?

As they’re in N-space, watches are required, and Lia is on Green Shift, which it is now, so once they’re done with this discussion, Jennie will have Rec Time and Karmen is going to bed.

Karmen has also noted to Lia that they need to get a few of the salvage items out of wherever Lia has put them and distribute them to the crew.

If Lia’s agreeable, she suggests they do that in Blue Shift after she wakes up.
