Anen says “Set it up. Thank you, I owe you one.” as he leans over and gives her a kiss on the cheek. Anen walks back to the table “I’ve got us a law enforcement contact. I’m hoping they can fill in some gaps on this story. Unless anyone has better plan, I’m going to meet up with them. Better than s...

Anen looks over the results of Rhisza's net search. "Well... that's a dead end." Anen leaves the table and walks up to Saradeen. "Say, would you happen to know any local law enforcement types? I need to dig up some information on an active case; walking into a police station uninvite...

Did Rhisza‘s net search turn up anything? Do they need to roll for that?

Group - what are we thinking about the video's contents? I don't want dominate the story too much with my character's approach, so I'm gonna leave some room for others to chime in. (FWIW, Anen would think we are getting played but would not want to walk away from the deal. Rather they'd want to &quo...

Thanks! I wasn't sure if I should roll or what - so I thought I would asked here... hope that's alright. Still learning my away around PbP etiquette.

tibbius, are you able to tell us what the woman and children are doing in the video? are they bound? freely roaming the room? it wasn't clear from the description.

Anen notices: The woman and children are seen from an awkward downward fisheye angle, like from a security camera feed. They appear in an ornately furnished room. Anen turns to the others and shares with they've noticed. "Could be a governmental palace but could just easily be... someone's per...

Anen wants to the see the video. He turns to the others "I'm not sure what I'm looking for out of this video, but I'll know it when I see it. Something or someone that doesn't belong, that's usually what gives us a leg up."

Test roll [1d6] = 5 [1d6] = 6

Anen nods in agreement.

Anen says to Rhisza ”why not just pay us a fee in credits? then we can choose what to do with the money, regardless of the Bilk.”

Anen shifts in his seat, throws his hands up in the air, and silently mouths to Rhisza "After he's FINDS IT?!" Anen wonders how anyone could possibly misplace a ransom video. Then... the usual sense of urgency strikes and, always vigilant, Anen looks around the dive bar to see if anyone i...

Anen frowns a bit at Saradeen "Did, she? I figured she had abandoned us here. Well, thanks. I'd ask you to meet me for a drink after your shift but I have to figure out what we're caught up in first." Anen then walks back to the table. "Well, our Bilk friend is involved in ..." ...

Anen looks for Saradeen at the bar and walks up to her. "Hey love, how's the night treating you? Better tips than last night I hope." Anen opens her hand and places a small but not meaningless amount of credits into it. Before she can respond Anen adds "Say, who gave you that wristpi...

Anen takes the wristpiece and exams it. I think we should give this fellow a call, it is our only lead to finding Gvny. If we don't act soon the trail will go cold.

(Flashback, dive bar) Anen stops to look at the woman's hand that brushes gently over his shoulder while her other places a drink in front of him. "Thanks. I don't think I caught your name?"

Well, I was waiting for Rhisza to chime in but I've been good with the space ship combat approach. If we end up cutting scene, then I guess let's make it dramatic and go for capture.

Anen

Understanding Gvny roll: [1d6] = 3 [1d6] = 4

Anen stares blankly at Gvny as he tries to comprehend what they are saying. uhhh.. anyone speak this dialect?

Do we speak the same dialect as Gvny? Does anyone understand what they are saying - that's unclear to me from the setup material. Thanks!

Anen

With the shields up Anen feels a bit helpless, as there's little else to do from his control station. He wanders over to check on Gvny to see if they've come to.

Anen

Anen pulls a trinket on a necklace from around his neck out and kisses it. He then works the shield controls one more time.

[1d6] = 6

“Shields up, captain!”
