Doing It

• Volkas asks Theo for legal assistance, a stowaway is here!
  • They are an authorized stowaway, more info is "above my paygrade" per lucille
• Lucielle has a message from Mr. Happy, calls us all to the bridge to share
  • Junk won't come
  • Mr Happy sends us condolences & a Gowena holo-memorial
  • Mr Happy laughs at Gowena dying & asks Lucielle to edit that out in post
• Sahramet uploads the coodinates, the degenerator is in-system
  • Popo is like wut
  • H4NZ briefs Popo
• We head out for the degenerator.
  • Don't see anything
  • H4NZ scans (gets his 20 for the day...) & detects multiple ships, large heat signatures, lots of energy
  • There's an illusion of empty space - Sahramet tells us to move forward
• We see a megastructure ringed by 12 stars, coupla beams shooting towards it
  • Center ring is spinning slowly
  • The ring is the 13th gate to the degenerator, gate is being powered up
• Enemy fleet = 7 fighters(?), 1 carrier(?)
  • H4NZ scans: Smaller fighter things are interceptors, tiny & 1 pilot
  • H4NZ scans: 'carrier' is a medium explorer ship w/ 6 crew
• We duke it out with the fighters
  • One smashes into us after we damage it badly
  • Another explodes & takes the fighter next to it out
  • Pew pew, pew pew!
  • The 13th gate opens up and the explorer ship enters
  • We burn hard for the gate -- per Sahramet, it can take as little as 20m to activate weapon
  • One more fighter suicides into our ass as we burn towards the gate, but it doesn't slow us down!
• We encounter some turbulence as we pass through the 13th gate
  • An interceptor follows us through -- it loses control and crashes into the "wall" of the wormhole thinggy we're in
  • We scrape the starboard against the wall a bit, shit's hard to drive in here
  • Shields are being torn up by drift energy, but H4NZ is on top of that shit and adjusts shield harmonics
  • Spectral hands are clawing at the window
    • One reaches in and claws at Theo, but we exit the tunnel!
    • OH FUCK LANDING PAD IN THE WAY WE GUUNA CRASH
    • The Devourer explorer ship is badly damaged but parked on the pad -- lots of dead bodies around it
    • Theo manages to not crash the ship, makes a rough landing
• On the landing pad, weird humanoid apparitions are in the drift energy pool below the platform
  • Junk DID NOT bring the AI with him, but we don't know that
