Soren Persuasion Proficiency vs. Irgonstead Persuasion Proficiency - (4,1,5) 2 Successes vs. (2,1,6) 1 Successes "I suppose a 25 credit increase, could be arranged."

Soren Insight Proficiency (DC 3) - (4,1,6,5) 3 Successes Soren figures they might have a shot diplomatically, but any deceptive or aggressive approaches may do more harm than good.

MM Note: If you want extra, that'll be Proficiency Check depending on your action/words. "It'd make my job a whole lot easier with the source itself that's for sure." "Yeah I'll give you this, at least you got the documents."

"I gave Blackguard my instructions, I can't speak to the method they used for carrying them out. Besides I would have figured you lot were capable enough of sneaking around Space Police." "I don't see a reason for you to know and given your attitude, I'm rather irritated about paying you as well for the work you did manage." "Oh believe me, I'm furious with them, plus they take half their pay up front, that's 5000 credits wasted." "Well at least you covered that." The Stratitarian sighs once more, "This is quite the mess, it'll take weeks to sort through, but you lot did your part. 50 Credits I believe are in order, no?"

MM Note: Copy Error, fixed

Irgonstead, slides it under the file out of Yelana's reach. "Irgonstead's all you need to know." MM Note: Already retconned.

"The Space Police is involved? What did you tell them? Blackguard was a hedge of the bet, they weren't supposed to get involved unless the source itself was in jeopardy." Irgonstead gave out a deep sigh. "So if you had the source, how did you manage to lose it?"

"I thought... well that is disappointing news about the source. However the documents you've provided will be of great assistance. I take it you were discrete, nothing tied back to Oc|Tan?"

After a good hour, Sergeant Myron arrives back in the Dining Car. "Well you three, after conversations with M. Kish, and a few of the train staff and the recovering engineers, I think I've got a pretty good idea what went down. We'll be taking the Tvilgard into custody once we arrive in Con'stop. The body of the O'Kor'uk will be processed and we'll follow our lines of inquiry with Blackguard and M-Tek. M. Kish and his traveling companion, will get a Space Police escort to their final destination. I've worked with the staff to get your contact information, we'll follow-up if there's anything else we need. Otherwise try to leave this type of heroics work for the authorities in the future." The Celestial retires back to the Business class car, every twenty minutes or so Officer Chuck patrols through each of the cars. Within a few more hours, the Boreal Express pulls into the station at Con'Stop. As they depart, Bloeberis stops them. "Thanks again for all you did. Given the nature of the journey we've been instructed to give a refund for everyone's tickets." The attendant passes each hero 100 Credits. "We do hope you use our services again on a hopefully less exciting trip." --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Wandering around the station it doesn't take the heroes long before they are approached by an Oc|Tan representative who leads them to a private shuttle that ferries them back to Ebria Spaceport. After a short wait the heroes are ushered into the conference room from so long ago, a familiar face in the stone stands up from the head of the table. "Ah, heroes. Back in one piece I see. I trust everything faired well and you were able to obtain the objective?"

"Your tea, Miss. Sorry I wasn't expecting you to be gone so long." Bloeberis hands Yelana a cup.

"Thank you Mam, that's standard protocol for any crime scene."

"I'm quite aware of her penchant for falsehoods, Ms. Zaria. You don't get my age in the force and not have a good insight. I'm not certain of her intentions either, but if you can vouch that she's not a threat, I think we can let this slide." "Doesn't make a lot of sense why you'd go hiding it in the same place it was stored in before, Peters found it in a jiffy." Sergeant Myron keeps his suspicious gaze on Soren. "But, considering Kish here is vouching for ya, I ain't going to push any further." At this point Officer Chucks arrives in Engineering. "Sir, the stowaway is secured in the Baggage Car, I don't think he's going everywhere. The rest of the train is secure." "Good work Chucks, please escort Mr. Soren and Ms. Zaria back to the Dining Car please, I'd like to have a word with M. Kish here." The Space Police commander gives a nod to Zaria and Soren, "Thank you for the information."

Karen? No.

"Because it's a more civil term than I'd like to use right now Mam. Please have a seat in the Dining Car."

"I'm aware."

"Thank you Ms. Yelana. You two have anything you'd like to add?" The sergeant turns to Soren and Zaria.

"Thank you, I think I understand now. So let me see if I've got the story straight, the train was attacked, you were helping out in the Dining car, when your seat fellows, whom you hadn't really interacted with, start shooting up people in the Engineering car, and you rush in to assist them?"

"Oh are you saying you're not with these two?"

"Yep, got that." "And you three just happened to be selfless travelers willing to risk life an' limb, right?"

"Sure vacation at an industrial manufacturing hub? I'll make sure to note that one down." The celestial gives Yelana a suspicious glance, "What can you tell me about the crew that was responsible for this?" "Uh, huh." Myron gives Soren the same glance. "Blackguard? Are you sure? Officer, I'm sure M-Tek will be very interested in these findings." "Already noted." "Thank you Soren, you have my gratitude. If you're looking for work I can put in a word for you with M-Tek."

"What gave it away, the uniforms?" Sergeant Myron gives a chuckle at his own joke. "There's a Quarm outside said something about this cube, seems like a whole lot of funny business going on concerning it. Officer Peters if you wouldn't mind inspecting the chamber." The celestial turns back to Soren, "Now, state your name and business upon this train." "Sorry Mam, I'm an officer of the law, not a barista. Peters, how we coming?" The Chimeran gingerly inspects the reactor removing its housing, "Shouldn't we have a professional doing this Sargeant?" "Come on Peters, you only live once." Officer Peters reaches in and removes the energy cube, thankfully her energy armor keeps her safe from the radiation. "This it?" "Figured so. Ms. Zaria, mind asking that Quarm to come in here?" A few seconds later Kish arrives. "This your cube M. Kish?" "Why, yes it is. I'm glad to see it is unharmed." "These folks look familiar to you?" "Well I know Soren and I believe I might have seen the other two going back and forth between the cars." "Right, you. Your name and reason for being on this train if you please, Mam." Sargeant Myron stares at Yelana.

Sergeant Myron has Officer Peters accompany them into the Engineering Car. The Space Police give a low whistle. "Well now, that's a fair amount of damage." "Yeesh, looks like a bomb went off in here." Myron turns to Soren and Yelana, "I expect you both are Ms. Zaria's companions and that... is the deceased?" The Celestial indicates the body of Slice.

MM Note: Fixed, adjusted positioning so all actions/results remain the same.

The celestial looks about the dining car at the aftereffects of the fire and panicking patrons, he listens to Zaria nodding along. "Hmm well then, that would add up with the report we received. The death of suspects will require further paperwork and I'll need a further detailed statement from you and your companions in due time, but for the moment lets see to it that everything is in order and the remainder of the passengers are calmed and the staff able to perform their duties for the remainder of the trip. We should be in Con'stop in a few hours." At Zaria's mentioning of a cube, a Quarm nursing a head wound stumbles forward. "I'm sorry, did you mention something about a cube was in Engineering?" "She did, what do you have to do with it." "I'm afraid that it is M-Tek property, I asked the engineers to store it in a radiation safe storage unit as the Baggage Car was ill suited for such a package. If it is missing, I must insist that you spend as many resources as possible to find it." "Don't worry, sir... mam...." "Kish" "We'll make sure it's found. Ms. Zaria if you wouldn't mind leading me, I'd like to have a word with your companions."

"The ambush is down there my boy. Glacier Mongers don't think that many steps ahead, this is about as complex as they get, even something like this is complex for them." The heroes, now full assembled, form up into a battle formation and start dealing damage left and right to the insectoid mongers as they charge forward with their crude weapons. Ronin slices and dices as Aysu careens bolts off her enemies carapaces. Enson shakes Polaris asleep as the Chimeran once more hefts her boomerang blindsiding another of the glacier assailants. The insects for their part scrape and claw, but find little purchase in their quarries defenses.
