 ===== TRAVEL EVENTS =====
-Our intrepid crew decided that they'd spent enough time on [[:adventures:starbound_reckoning:locations:yamm|Yamm]] and set course to [[:adventures:starbound_reckoning:locations:tefnut|Tefnut]].
+The adventurous team concluded they had lingered long enough on [[:adventures:starbound_reckoning:locations:yamm|Yamm]] and charted a path for [[:adventures:starbound_reckoning:locations:tefnut|Tefnut]].
-\\
-[[:adventures:starbound_reckoning:characters:aden_weekley|Aden]] asks "Which station we headed to, Captn'?". "My vote would be [[:adventures:starbound_reckoning:locations:serenity_terminal|Serenity]], for obvious reasons." He smirked.\\
-"Whichever station has docking bays available," [[:adventures:starbound_reckoning:characters:lars_pine|Lars]] replied.\\
-Quick trips like this are normally peaceful and quiet but not this time. At the most inopportune time, just as [[:adventures:starbound_reckoning:characters:khivrak_varna|Khivrak]] was reassembling her [[:adventures:starbound_reckoning:dict:start#a|assault rifle]], the ship passed through a [[:adventures:starbound_reckoning:dict:start#g|gravitational wave]]. The sudden jarring of the ship sent her body slamming into a workbench, injuring her dominant hand and rendering her [[:adventures:starbound_reckoning:dict:start#s|Saber]] inoperable //(Starship Travel Event: Accident)//. Between [[:adventures:starbound_reckoning:characters:valeri_snee|Valeri]] and [[:adventures:starbound_reckoning:characters:narira_vajin|Narira]], they got her patched up but she won't be any good if they run into trouble where they're going //("Resting and recovering from injury")//.\\
+[[:adventures:starbound_reckoning:characters:aden_weekley|Aden]] inquired, "Captn', what's our destination station?" With a cheeky grin, he added, "I'd pick [[:adventures:starbound_reckoning:locations:serenity_terminal|Serenity]], for clear reasons."
-"Looks like its [[:adventures:starbound_reckoning:locations:rebus_station|Rebus Station]] everybody." Lars shouted as Tefnut came into view.
+"We'll dock at any station with open bays," [[:adventures:starbound_reckoning:characters:lars_pine|Lars]] countered.
-"Outstanding!" [[:adventures:starbound_reckoning:characters:narira_vajin|Narira]] said, "Lots to do here. The first thing I'm gonna do is find a firing range! I'm dying to try out this Avenger."
+Typically, such short voyages are calm and uneventful. But not this one. As [[:adventures:starbound_reckoning:characters:khivrak_varna|Khivrak]] was in the midst of putting her [[:adventures:starbound_reckoning:dict:start#a|assault rifle]] together, the ship was hit by a [[:adventures:starbound_reckoning:dict:start#g|gravitational wave]]. The abrupt shake propelled her against a workbench, damaging her primary hand and making her [[:adventures:starbound_reckoning:dict:start#s|Saber]] useless (Starship Travel Event: Accident). [[:adventures:starbound_reckoning:characters:valeri_snee|Valeri]] and [[:adventures:starbound_reckoning:characters:narira_vajin|Narira]] managed to tend to her injuries, but she might be a liability if they encountered any threats ahead ("Recuperating from wounds").
+"[[:adventures:starbound_reckoning:locations:tefnut|Tefnut's]] in sight! We're heading to [[:adventures:starbound_reckoning:locations:rebus_station|Rebus Station]]," [[:adventures:starbound_reckoning:characters:lars_pine|Lars]] announced.
+[[:adventures:starbound_reckoning:characters:narira_vajin|Narira]] exclaimed, "Fantastic! There's so much to do. First up, I'm finding a [[:adventures:starbound_reckoning:dict:start#s|shooting range]]. I can't wait to test this [[:adventures:starbound_reckoning:dict:start#a|Avenger]]."
 \\

 ===== WORLD EVENTS =====
 ==== 1) Upkeep and Ship Repairs ====
-Before leaving [[:adventures:starbound_reckoning:locations:yamm|Yamm]], [[:adventures:starbound_reckoning:characters:aden_weekley|Aden]] found a [[:adventures:starbound_reckoning:dict:start#s|scrap dealer]] willing to give him credits for the Omni-Blade and the busted Krogan Hammer. (The crew netted a +1 credit this turn during Upkeep from the sale)\\
+Before their departure from [[:adventures:starbound_reckoning:locations:yamm|Yamm]], [[:adventures:starbound_reckoning:characters:aden_weekley|Aden]] located a [[:adventures:starbound_reckoning:dict:start#j|junk dealer]] who offered him credits in exchange for the [[:adventures:starbound_reckoning:dict:start#o|Omni-Blade]] and the damaged [[:adventures:starbound_reckoning:dict:start#k|Krogan Hammer]]. (From this sale, the crew gained an additional credit during the Upkeep phase).\\
-[[:adventures:starbound_reckoning:characters:lars_pine|Lars]] transferred 6 credits to the shipbroker to pay down the debt on the ship //(Ship Debt)//. The remaining balance is 10 credits.\\
+[[:adventures:starbound_reckoning:characters:lars_pine|Lars]] sent 6 credits to the shipbroker as a payment towards the vessel's debt (Ship Debt). The outstanding amount now stands at 10 credits.\\
 \\
 \\
 ==== 2) Assign/Resolve Crew Tasks ====
-Safely docking at Rebus Station, Lars powered everything down and said "You guys go blow off some steam, I'm going to go find us some work that hopefully doesn't involve the Remnants! You guys have fun and please stay out of trouble." \\
+Upon a secure docking at [[:adventures:starbound_reckoning:locations:rebus_station|Rebus Station]], [[:adventures:starbound_reckoning:characters:lars_pine|Lars]] shut down all systems and remarked, “Head out and relax, everyone. I'll scout for a job, preferably one without [[:adventures:starbound_reckoning:dict:start#r|Remnants]] on our tail! Just try to avoid any issues, will you?”\\
-"No promises captain!" Narira said on her way out the hatch, Avenger in hand.\\
+[[:adventures:starbound_reckoning:characters:narira_vajin|Narira]], making her way out, replied with a playful tone, “Can't guarantee that, captain!” while clutching her [[:adventures:starbound_reckoning:dict:start#a|Avenger]].\\
-"I'll go!" Valeri said, locking eyes with Lars. "I'll help you look for work."\\
+“I'm with you,” [[:adventures:starbound_reckoning:characters:valeri_snee|Valeri]] interjected, her gaze fixed on [[:adventures:starbound_reckoning:characters:lars_pine|Lars]]. “I'll assist you in the job hunt.”\\
-"Hey Phil, wanna go see if we can get into trouble?" Aden asked. "Nah, you go ahead. I'm going to see if I can get Khivrak's Saber fixed up." Phil replied.\\
+“[[:adventures:starbound_reckoning:characters:phil|Phil]], how about causing some mischief with me?” [[:adventures:starbound_reckoning:characters:aden_weekley|Aden]] teased. [[:adventures:starbound_reckoning:characters:phil|Phil]] responded, “No, I'd rather see if I can repair [[:adventures:starbound_reckoning:characters:khivrak_varna|Khivrak's]] [[:adventures:starbound_reckoning:dict:start#s|Saber]]. You carry on.”\\
-"k, later." Aden responded.\\
+“Alright, catch you later,” said [[:adventures:starbound_reckoning:characters:aden_weekley|Aden]].\\
-Khivrak tells Phil that he didn't have to try and fix her weapon and that he should go with Aden. They spent the next few hours in a philosophical discussion about what constitutes "Fun" in the various species across the galaxy.
+[[:adventures:starbound_reckoning:characters:khivrak_varna|Khivrak]] reassured [[:adventures:starbound_reckoning:characters:phil|Phil]] that he didn't need to concern himself with her weapon and should instead join [[:adventures:starbound_reckoning:characters:aden_weekley|Aden]]. They then delved deep into a thought-provoking conversation about how different species across the cosmos define “fun”.
 \\
 \\
 ==== 3-5) Determine Job Offers, Assign Equipment, Resolve Rumors ====
-A few hours pass...\\
+Time flew, and a few hours later...\\
-\\
-"All fixed up. It should be like new. I had to replace the entire upper assembly." //(Spent 2 credits to assist with the Repair Dice roll)//. Phil said as he demonstrated the rifle's smooth action. "Thanks Phil." Khivrak said.\\ \\
-Narira returned shortly after all pumped up and raving about the Avenger's deadly accuracy. "or possibly it's just my exceptional skills." she said.\\
+“Got it fixed. It should work like it's brand new now. I replaced the entire top section,” [[:adventures:starbound_reckoning:characters:phil|Phil]] noted, showing off the rifle's seamless mechanics (Allocated 2 credits to support the Repair Dice roll). “Thanks, [[:adventures:starbound_reckoning:characters:phil|Phil]],” [[:adventures:starbound_reckoning:characters:khivrak_varna|Khivrak]] expressed her gratitude.\\ \\
-All three started laughing, "I'm sure that's what it is!" Khivrak said as they all laughed louder.\\
+Soon after, an energized [[:adventures:starbound_reckoning:characters:narira_vajin|Narira]] made her appearance, ecstatic about the [[:adventures:starbound_reckoning:dict:start#a|Avenger's]] precision. “Or perhaps it's my unparalleled expertise,” she quipped.\\
-"What's so funny?" Lars said as he entered the hatchway.\\
+The trio burst into laughter. “Definitely your extraordinary skills,” [[:adventures:starbound_reckoning:characters:khivrak_varna|Khivrak]] quipped, which led to an even more boisterous round of giggles.\\
-"Narira's exceptional shooting skills," Khivrak said, laughing even harder. By now Khivrak was the only one laughing.\\
+“What's the joke?” [[:adventures:starbound_reckoning:characters:lars_pine|Lars]] inquired, stepping through the hatch.\\
-"I take it you found a range and the weapon performed well for you," Lars commented. "That's a good thing. Good job."\\
+“[[:adventures:starbound_reckoning:characters:narira_vajin|Narira]] and her legendary marksmanship,” [[:adventures:starbound_reckoning:characters:khivrak_varna|Khivrak]] managed to say between fits of laughter. However, soon she was the only one laughing.\\
-"Thanks captain." Narira said while she just stared at  Khivrak.\\ \\
+“Sounds like you had a good time at the range,” [[:adventures:starbound_reckoning:characters:lars_pine|Lars]] observed. “Well done.”\\
-"I struck out finding us a job to do," Lars said. "Valeri was talking with someone when I left." he continued. \\
+Grinning, [[:adventures:starbound_reckoning:characters:narira_vajin|Narira]] responded, “Thanks, captain,” all the while casting a bemused glance at [[:adventures:starbound_reckoning:characters:khivrak_varna|Khivrak]].\\
-"I'll contact Captain Haymore to see if she has anything." Lars was saying as Valeri came through the hatch. "That may not be necessary," Valeri said as she walked in.\\
+[[:adventures:starbound_reckoning:characters:lars_pine|Lars]] shifted the mood, "I wasn't successful in locating a job for us. [[:adventures:starbound_reckoning:characters:valeri_snee|Valeri]] was discussing something with an individual when I left."\\
-Valari continued. "That guy I was talking with at the bar, he's a Council Agent. He just finished up a missing person case and said Rebus Security is so short-staffed that they offered no assistance in locating his missing diplomat. He suggested that I check in with them and offer our services. I just came back to see if you wanted to go with me?"\\
+“I was thinking of reaching out to [[:adventures:starbound_reckoning:people:captain_angelico_haymore|Captain Haymore]] for potential leads,” [[:adventures:starbound_reckoning:characters:lars_pine|Lars]] began, only to be interrupted by [[:adventures:starbound_reckoning:characters:valeri_snee|Valeri's]] entrance. “Might not need to,” [[:adventures:starbound_reckoning:characters:valeri_snee|Valeri]] interjected.\\
-"That does sound enticing. Let's go." Lars said.\\ \\
+“I met a [[:adventures:starbound_reckoning:dict:start#c|Council Agent]] at the bar,” [[:adventures:starbound_reckoning:characters:valeri_snee|Valeri]] shared. “After wrapping up a missing person case, he pointed out the lack of support from [[:adventures:starbound_reckoning:dict:start#r|Rebus Security]] due to their understaffing. He advised I approach them with our services. So, want to join me?”\\
-"Where are we going?" Aden said and he walked in.\\
+Intrigued, [[:adventures:starbound_reckoning:characters:lars_pine|Lars]] replied, “Sounds promising. Let's explore that lead.”\\ \\
-"Valeri has a lead on a job and we're headed to get details," Lars says.\\
+[[:adventures:starbound_reckoning:characters:aden_weekley|Aden]], entering the scene, questioned, “What's the plan?”\\
-"Oh ok, I thought we were leaving already. I really like here. I may just stay. //("This place is rather nice, really." Exploration event)//" Aden continued.\\
+“We're off to learn more about a potential assignment,” [[:adventures:starbound_reckoning:characters:lars_pine|Lars]] informed.\\
+“Thought we were departing. I’ve taken quite a liking to this place. Might just decide to stay put. (“This place is rather nice, really.” Exploration event)” [[:adventures:starbound_reckoning:characters:aden_weekley|Aden]]  pondered aloud.\\
+[[:adventures:starbound_reckoning:characters:lars_pine|Lars]] responded, “Let’s discuss your plans when I'm back.”\\ \\
+Just as they prepared to depart, a familiar voice resonated through the hangar bay, catching everyone off guard. [[:adventures:starbound_reckoning:characters:lars_pine|Lars]] peered from the ship's hatch and his concerns were validated.\\
+“[[:adventures:starbound_reckoning:orgs:blackstar_syndicate|Blackstar Syndicate]],” he muttered discreetly.\\
+Facing his team, he revealed, “You recall those individuals I mentioned? The ones responsible for decimating my previous crew? They've tracked me down.” There was a gravitas to his tone.\\
+“There seem to be only three. Stay put, I'll handle this,” he proposed.
+With a steely demeanor, [[:adventures:starbound_reckoning:characters:valeri_snee|Valeri]] retorted, “Six against one feels more favorable, Captain.”
+[[:adventures:starbound_reckoning:characters:khivrak_varna|Khivrak]] fervently agreed, “Count me in, Captain!”
+[[:adventures:starbound_reckoning:characters:lars_pine|Lars]] responded, touched, “I value your support, truly. But they're my burden. They’ve claimed one crew from me; I won’t let them claim another.”
+Furthermore, pointing at [[:adventures:starbound_reckoning:characters:khivrak_varna|Khivrak]], he added, “You're still on the mend.”
+[[:adventures:starbound_reckoning:characters:narira_vajin|Narira]] countered, “But the rest of us are fit and ready, Captain.”
+Amidst their exchange, the adversary taunted, “Your stalling won’t help, [[:adventures:starbound_reckoning:characters:lars_pine|Lars]]. Face us, let's end this!”
+Prompted by that jeer, [[:adventures:starbound_reckoning:characters:lars_pine|Lars]]’s crew collectively advanced towards the hatch. [[:adventures:starbound_reckoning:characters:valeri_snee|Valeri]], eyes locked on [[:adventures:starbound_reckoning:characters:lars_pine|Lars]], challenged, “Well, are you joining us or not?”
-"Hold that thought and we'll talk about it when I return," Lars said. \\
