You order Athena to set course to planet Skids and tell Donnobaba to leave the bridge while you contact the Sons of Zeus. You dial into their private frequency and identify yourself. After a few minutes of putting up with their low level dispatchers you are put in contact with Hades, the second in command of the entire organization. The gang lieutenant appears on your screen wearing a yellow jumpsuit and an Orc tooth necklace.
"Charlet! How the hell are ya doin? I heard you somehow went and got yourself 3rd on the most wanted list. I've been trying to break the top three for years, and you just go and do it by accident you magnificent bitch!" He says with a smile before noticing your missing arm. "What the fuck happened to you?"
"Yeah. Nice to see you too. You still owe me a few favors, right?" you respond coldly.
"Of course, but whatever you need done today will be in celebration of your awesome new criminal status! How can I help you?"
You take a deep breath and explain your situation, carefully leaving out Donnobaba. Hades seems impressed. "You took a White Out ship? Damn, I'll have Hermes fix that fucker right up for ya. I think I know where I can get you hooked up with a new arm as well."
"Thanks Hades." you say before you sign off from the conversation.
You instruct Donnobaba to hide in one of the Prototype craft for the duration of the repair. She takes some food and drink into the cockpit with her and seals it tight. You allow a Sons of Zeus flight dispatcher to guide The Tettix to land at a fairly well concealed platform on one of the more populated moons of Skids.
You exit your ship and are greeted by Hermes, The Son's head mechanic. He gives the stealth ship a quick look over and informs you that he can have it fixed in in about 7 hours. Deciding that if you are going to be stuck on this moon for awhile you might as well get some spending money. Hermes offers to buy half your prototype spare parts for 10000 credits. Knowing full well you are getting ripped off, but not wanting to cause a scene you take his offer.
-25 Spare prototype surveillance craft part
+10000 Credits
You head to the bridge of The Tettix one last time to check out local maps before setting out to explore this moon. You ponder what you should
do next...
Local Attractions:Sons of Zeus Headquarters: You can hobnob with the leaders of the human supremacist faction here. Hades said something about getting you an arm, perhaps you should pay him a visit.

Greek Street: Arguably the nicest inhabitable area in orbit around Skids. Greek Street is a shopping and commercial district that specializes in selling small craft, weapons, craft mods, and illegal goods. Most of the busniess here pays protection to the Sons of Zeus.
The top three most wanted criminals in the State of Mastro are as follows:
-The white kobold general Wiskayou. This bounty is worth 1000000 credits
-Fios, leader of the Orbital Bastards. This bounty is worth 500000 credits
-Charlet Mannam, white collar criminal. This bounty is worth 250000 credits
A wing of white kobold bombers are killing the crops on planet Kumonori with chemical weapons. The military believes they are based off a stealth carrier somewhere nearby the planet.
The State of Mastro will scale down tomorrows purge of the Subhumans on Skids. They will only kill or exile 1500 as opposed to the planned 10000 as the military is busy fighting the white kobolds.
