So, I shoot me, and Ash is up on the bridge shooting himself. Then the mining colony gets a bit hostile with weapon locks and stuff, so we allow the figures to reappear, with apparently no problem with having just been shot by us. As soon as they touch the computer consoles, the weapons stop targeting our ship and it is allowed to land.
I’m dubbing this system Ah Ta Ree.
The mining station/colony is devoid of life. We find a mining vessel Mithral 7, definitely from the Diaspora belt back home. We also find crew quarters, and while investigating, find a photo of a dwarven family from thirty-three years ago. I’ll have to do some research there– they obviously found something other than what they were mining for. Other than the photo, the dwarven quarters look completely… sanitized.
We continue to explore, going through the spokes of the station, and find an exam room. With bodies. Two– a skittermander and a shirren, as well as the remains of a drone that looked a bit like Widget. From what we can remember, the two bodies look like two of the missing crew from the Orca. Ash wants to leave immediately, and Widget hears something clicking down one passage, and then he swears he hears a “woo” from a drone coming towards us….
