You head down to the brigs to interrogate the prisoners, noticing the pristine materials and all the technology incorporated into it. Makes sense, considering this is a troop carrier.
You arrive at the interrogation room, with an imprisoned officer in front of you. He grudgingly tells you that he doesn't know anything, since
theynever told him anything. You chalk that up as a success.
Further into the interrogation, (1d20 - 20; Diplomacy has increased!) he has completely caved in and told you everything, including the exact the coordinates of their base, multiple exclusive ship designs of theirs (you didn't even know they designed ships.), and a lot more of useful information, that you can easily remember later on. Questioning the other prisoners with this evidence; many confirmed it, some called the officer a traitor. You were planning to scour the ship logs, but decided against it for now considering the main objective of it, you already have. The prisoners are relocated to long term 'storage' for processing with a minor recommendation from you for a less severe sentence at the next available opportunity.
The Frigate and corvette head to Galia; where the prisoners are processed for a reward of 200 credits, and you attempt manual repairs on your ship, which (1d20 +2 = 5) fails and doesn't successfully repair any of the damage, so you just get the Syllarn repaired at the shipyard for a minor fee of 50 credits.
Getting further of your mental 'to-do' list, you get an appraiser to value the corvette and the things inside it, which goes.. okay.
The Corvette itself, minus the weapons is about 11,900 credits worth, which is a nice sum, but it for sure isn't going to get you a new ship.
The Weapons are appraised and the appraiser notes that the PL Cannons are only worth about 500 credits, which you feel is certainly not a right price, considering enough of them to arm a ship cost about 6,000 credits commonly. The missile pods are worth quite a nice sum; 2000 credits.
The appraiser and his crew make an amazing find; apparently the ship had some high price smuggled goods aboard; which can supposedly sell for 30,000 credits if you go to the right people. Sadly these goods are smuggled, so they're definitely illegal. You'll likely get a reward for turning them in to the enforcement agencies, but not anywhere near the selling price.
You also ask around looking for people that can install the PL Cannons. You find a crew that'll do it for 1,000 credits if you want to.
You feel that you were very lucky in the past few events. You consider bargaining, since you feel a lot more comfortable now when talking to others, but more importantly; What now?

So MS Paint maps probably coming soon. Still. Sorry.
On the bright side, because I'm using a different dice system; skills! They'll be listed in your character spoiler when you become above-average in it. Each level in the skill is a +1 modifier to your rolls, and I'll only show skill based rolls, unless others want otherwise.
