This wreck is a… wreck. We’ve set up a few titanium lines to hold ourselves out of the swampiness of the crash site. I kept feeling some other creature moving around inside the Vengeance, but, surprise! another centipede. I really don’t like them at all! I am also sad to say that, if we are getting paid by via salvage, we may be losing money. The drift drive is… corroded. The engineering section… everything is rusted through. We haven’t even been much past engineering. We will be blowing a hatch between sections to head towards the front of the ship. Or, maybe, a gentle knock on the hatch, and it will just fall off.

Catch Me I’m Falling
So, I’m completely over any desire to visit this planet! We couldn’t find any ground firm enough to land on near the wreck, so Ash decided to climb off a rope onto some trees while the ship (well, Brock) attempted to hover. The trees had other ideas, and tentacles (vines?), so he threw himself past the trees to the ground. Looks to be a nearly 80′ drop. Regular atmosphere, gravity, and hey, there was some firm ground! Ash did eventually stand up, in time to be attacked by the largest centipedes I ever saw. But by then, we had burnt down the vines, and the trees, so we were able to get close enough to the ground for him to get back on the rope and hauled up.
Anyway. We found the wreck! And it looks to be in pretty bad shape. It’s partially submerged in the moors, the hull is pitted, but it looks like the engine is still above the waterline. And it has its own giant centipedes circling it. Did I ever mention how much I hate bugs? Not Shirren, or at least not Mez’chef, but the ones that try to bite that are waaaaay bigger than bugs should be. Don’t like them.
woo.

Wreck of the Haspis 3
So, we got a job with a Vesk called Zareth (who Sresaka has never met– she’s as bad as Lexx!), who is looking to retrieve something off a wrecked ship in the Haspis system, third planet. The trip took us nine days in drift. The coordinates of the ship Vengeance were discovered just last month, twenty-five years after its destruction, with all hands on board.
This planet kinda sucks. Literally and figuratively. I’ve never seen such marshy land. And it has volcanos, too, so the air isn’t too safe to breathe for long amounts of time. We are being paid with salvage from the rest of the ship. I hope the engineering section isn’t completely destroyed.
