Crew Personal Logs
Diaries of the crew on this mission.
Anyone? Anyone?
We plodded around in the wreckage a bit more, and realized that we had best get some rest, as this planet has an 18-hour day cycle. It also still has a lot of tectonic activity; we were greeted during the night by what sounded like eathquakes.
This morning, we decided try a few more hails for our ship, and, giving up, headed toward where the surviving crew of the Vengeance had planned to go. Unfortunately, we had to swim most of it. Widget flew ahead a bit to warn us of anything dangerous. Of course, the danger was in the marshy waterways. A few times a giant centipede got close to us. Lexx threw a stun grenade at one. And while it didn’t kill it, it did alert a humongous swamp eel, which appeared right below the centipede… and ate it. We were very quiet after that. We eventually got to a (swampy) lake were some 8′ tall, multicolor-furred striders were grazing. We could finally see the clear sky too. Maybe we can contact our ship. Or at least spot it!
Say what planet are we on? The third!
After killing a few more giant centipedes, we found the ship’s weapons locker– still sealed! We all have as much as we can carry. I even got new armor of Ysoki make, so at least one of the ships personnel was an Ysoki. Probably in engineering. In fact, we found a log of sorts detailing that the twelve survivors of the thirty-eight crew were leaving the ship and heading northwest to integrate with the native Telia, a rather non-tech people. The log entries kept mentioning Sprocket in engineering. I used to read the histories of Sprocket and Widget (namesake of my own Widget 2.0); I can’t imagine it is the same Sprocket. We would like to find this group– even after twenty-five years, there may be survivors still living here.
Only one problem. We cannot contact our ship. We are not sure if Brock and I-9 aren’t receiving our hails, or are, and we aren’t hearing their replies.
woo!

Is this going to be a stand-up fight, sir, or another bug hunt?
So, so many centipedes.Β I can feel them crawling through the ship!Β We are slowly finding answers as to why the Vengeance is here, and we plan to take some of that crew’s personal effects back to the Vesk Embassy on Absalom Station.Β Most of the ship is not salvageable, and we haven’t found any remains of the crew (centipedes?!?). We have found a few sealed storage lockers, amd I got myself a nice industrial welder and some (dead) batteries.Β I was going to save the welder to keep with my tools, but oddly enough, it looks like ysoki design, so I may use it as a weapon if any of those centipedes try to get close to me.Β Again.Β Ewww.
