Noob: Buy shotgun
Jacen: Hack internets, recieve shooting with particle beam.
Dragnar: Get someone to find me a wireless access point, and begin data mining for anything about what we saw happen to the guy who released us.
Ochita: Replace oxygen thingy then roll out..
Dwarfguy: Get out.
Spade(GM'd): Plug the flight recorder into the main computer and watch it.
Noob: 3
You waltz out the airlock and look for some place to spend the money you found on the ship.
It suddenly occurs to you that you have no idea what lanugage is spoken here. Hopefully, everyone else has a universal translator or something.
As you approach the market, you suddenly notice that you can understand what everyone's saying. Huh.
Jacen: 5
You roll out of the ship and try to find a place to connect to the internet.
Dragnar: 3
You have Ochita carry you out of the ship. A seedy-looking man in an old white buisness suit notices you and looks extremely suprised.
Ochita: 3
You plug the oxygen recycler back into its socket and carry Dragnar out of the ship.
Dwarfguy: 3
You trot out.
Spade: 4
You find a place to connect the device to the ship's computer, noticing that it has started glowing orange in your pocket for some reason.
One of the screens light up and begin playback...
You see the bridge. Two people are on it, monitoring various stations. A ship appears on the viewscreen. One of the crew says something to the captain (or whoever is sitting in the big chair in the middle of the bridge). Their language sounds sort of like a cross between modem noise and music. He looks rather uncomfortable.
There is a large banging noise. The crew member yells something to the captain, and they both grab some sort of weapon from their holsters. The view cuts to the cargo bay, looking at the airlock. Two large men force the airlock open. The captain and the crew member from the bridge show up and shoot at the men. The beams blow a hole through one of the men's chests, but they grab the weapons and stab the crew members with knives. The man with the hole in his chest does not appear to be visibly bleeding. The captain isn't quite dead yet.
The two men proceed to stab everyone on the ship, then steal everything they can get their hands on. They then wipe the ship's computer, and the view cuts to static. Presumably, they left and then the captain woke you up.
Text:
The man in the white suit intercepts the party as they leave the ship and pulls them into a dark alleyway. He looks around the corner and then speaks to you.
"Good, the guard didn't see you. It's pretty obvious from the way you landed that starskiff that you guys ain't used to space travel. Those little computer units are like walking around in handcuffs and prison uniforms with a sign on your head saying 'Escaped Convict; Please Arrest'. Not a very good idea is all I'm sayin'. Now I don't know how you got to where you are, and I don't wanna know. All I do know is that I get favors from the goverment for helpin' out new guys in town. They tend to look over minor transgressions if they think you're a nice guy. Now, the first thing you wanna do is get into some proper AI transport modules. I run a little shop in this here alley..."
"Now, that thing you got there is a debit card. Hooks into a bank account that comes with the ship. Probably got a few thousand on it. Here, I'll give you fifty percent off my entire stock. Throw in a computer transport for free."
