Starfinder:Adventure Log/2018-11-02

Doing It

• Heading to Bastion of the Stewards office
  • Melinda, formerly secretary of Butt Stuff, is now working here
  • That detective guy has been complaining to them about HappyCo
  • Melinda has been told to ignore complaints about HappyCo, but she's willing to help us since we saved her @ Butt Stuff
  • We try to play the threat video & it won't work
    • Melinda is unimpressed, but calls her boss
    • H4NZ and I hack it & finally manage to get it to play
• Junk makes friends with some shady AF orc in Steward lockup by slyly handing him some meat
• We start talking to Mella & Gygax, some of the Steward detectives(?)
  • Their director doesn't believe in this shit, Tiberius has been nagging them about it for months
  • Mella "works with" Tiberius? Relationship unclear
  • We show them the video & they page their director -- "It's real." -- he's annoyed & comes over
  • He beileves us when a personal message for him activates & shows Absalom station being destroyed!
    • He asks us to deliver the remaining messages using the portals to Pact worlds in the bastion
    • They'll seize our ship & remove the transdimensional locator for analysis to find HappyCo HQ
• We decide to follow up w/ starstone people, the contacts that Tiberius wanted to have vet us
  • We don't know where to find them (useless biznuss card...) & decide to head to the library
• On the way: the shady orc is out of lockup & trying to sell Junk a sentient weapon???
  • Junk buys more shit
  • Volkas takes the starstone card thing & asks the shady orc about it
    • He's seen it -- legend says the folks have been touched by the starstone
    • He offers us a shitload of money for the card, then tries to steal it -- he has people who would like to "collect" it
    • Theo stuns him & politely tells him that he had forgotten to return the card
    • Theo asks him if he can arrange a meeting w/ his "collectors" for 5,000c (half now, half later, -2500)
      • Gives him a bizniss card
• Volkas fails at using the library computer & opens a lot of porn
  • H4NZ gets a nat 20 to close the porn
• Volkas fails at intelligence and becomes sexually aroused by a book about ancient golarian
  • H4NZ gets a nat20 reading it and tells Volkas that he's a fucking idiot
• Popo & Theo read Starstone for Dummies. It's in the middle of Absalom station.
  • Stone is under heavy guard
  • We head for the Starstone tourism areas for Starstone Viewing
• On our way, H4NZ notices people tailing us w/ fake Mr. Potatohead mustaches & glasses
  • We decide to approach them ("what'll they do, attack us in the middle of Absalom?")
  • As we approach, they rip their disguises off & strike a pose & call out their catchphrase

Roll Initative

• The HappyCo Power Rangers want to re-educate us & are throwing down
  • We should try telling them that we're still delivering the messages, per instructions.
