The merchant thanks you and informs you that he will be loaded up in a couple hours. +118SC

You successfully get on board the ship, turns out that being 20 meters long does not mean you are that big(you are only 2 meter tall and you are segmented, meaning you are a torpedo that is like a worm).
Group stats:
Mini Transport: small ship that is 300 meters in length; can crew 150, current crew: 2-3, current passengers: 1 wealthy merchant; has 60 weapon mounts 60 small pd lasers; current cargo: 18KT of merchant's goods being loaded;
Funds: 118 SC

Attempt to connect to ship data network to gain any extra info on our ship, like ship journal, presence of onboard AI and alike

Once the merchant comes back, take control of the ship and fly to the Nafa system.

[MonkeyMarkMario]

The merchant's stuff gets in the cargo bay and the merchant get on board and informs you that he is ready. You get permission to leave the bay from the control and leave. Flight time: 5 days and 2 hours. Due to not leaving at the minimum crew your ship might suffer some setbacks.

You connect to the ship database and learn that this is just your average everyday mini transport somewhat new. It was finished being built 2 days ago and has been not used. The ship has an AI that is at level 2, at this level there is very little the AI can do except basic piloting, defensive firing, and other minor system checks, think the AI on the most advanced airplane with some extra features.

GM note: For now you all are on the mini transport unless Dustan is gun-ho about leaving you all high and dry. Also do you want to name the ship?

[sprinkled chariot]

Use ship sensors to scan for any potential hostiles

Check if ship has any fabricator capable of replenishing my supplies of murder bots, in case they meet demise

[Dustan Hache]

offer my services to the good captain as security then. Oh, before I forget! I need to find some small arms weaponry compatible with a quadruped. Maybe a helmet-mounted laser.

[MonkeyMarkMario]

Ciradwin:
The captain accepts your services as a guard, at the rate of 14 SC. You find an compression rifle that would work for you costing 12 SC, but no helmet-mounted laser.

Main Group:
It was a good thing you were on sensors, because you discover an escort sized ship 1 lightyear out that will catch up to you in 3 hours. You also discovered 1 fabricator and about 3KT of metals for fabricating.

1 compression rifle; guard on-board the mini transport Grasa's transport, pay rate 14 SC;

GM note: well I guess the party is split. Will it always be split, that is the question.

[Dustan Hache]

get on board and await orders from the captain.
Edit: it’s kinda head canon for me that quadrupeds have alternative weapons with mechanisms more fitting to races that don’t have opposable thumbs. Hence why I thought of a head mounted laser gun.

[MonkeyMarkMario]

alert the captain and request orders. Is he expecting anyone like for contraband inspection, or is that escort ship less of an escort and more of a raider? If he declares it a raider, man the guns and be ready to open fire!

I really should put a separator between you and the others, the escort was for the main group not you.

[KittyTac]

As the captain(?) of the mini-transport, I name it "Friendship Enforcer 01". Then send a message to the escort:

GREETINGS. STATE YOUR INTENTIONS.

C'Ufis!

Set the hyperdrive or whatever to full speed and attempt to evade. It'll take longer to get to the destination, but whatever.

[sprinkled chariot]

Why are we running away in fear?

[KittyTac]

Should we take needless risks? I don't think we should.
