Session 1 – Planetfall

The Avocadians, having just left inter-system customs on the capital city of Ordus on the world Peris, are flagged down by another former passenger of the Edirimus. He introduces himself as Dran, and is welcomed to the party.

As a first priority, the party head to the trade and market sector in the capital while Braxi reaches out to a local Calian trade delegation. Fal purchases some medical gear, Magni purchases a commpad, and Haywire begins making inquiries into having her inhibitor chip removed — encountering an odd, hooded gentleman known as Deprit. He is confronted and mutters his fascination before running off, leaving a contact chip in Haywire's mechanical hands. The party are also warned by a merchant of alleged attacks against off-worlders in the city in the past few weeks.

Braxi agrees to meet with Orphus Timund, a Calian diplomat currently leading the offworld trade delegation. Orphus explains that a half-forgotten starport abandoned during early construction when the Scream occurred was a crucial element to a promising trade deal between the two worlds. The local Perisian-side of the delegation has suddenly pulled out, and any recent information on the half-built port has gone dark. Braxi is hired to investigate further and report back.

The party conduct research through the World Web, an all-comprising data repository. Braxi learns the starport is located on the Delos Isles along the equator of Peris, while Haywire looks into Deprit's history. The party also dig into the most recent offworlder attack and find a statement by city local Geltrim Hols, publicly condemning the attacks.

They reach out to Geltrim, who agrees to meet in person at the location of the most recent attack. He informs them about the two victims, Fed and Eld Copren, currently recuperating in a nearby hospital, and offers accommodation in an ex-pat hostel in the slums.

Val uses her precognition to check if they might be in danger tonight, and sees a brief, confusing vision of a large energetic crowd on a city rooftop with drones flying fast overhead.

Visiting Fed and Eld, the brothers reveal there was a single assailant — at least as tall as Magni — and that Fed remembers a fast whirring overhead as he fell unconscious. Val notices a drone somewhat familiar to her precognition and runs out of the hospital with Magni and Haywire in tow. They find two young boys — Meph and Tilus Cornosen — packing up a drone. Magni expresses interest and is welcomed inside.

Reviewing their training footage, the party notice a snippet of the drone, Little Lucy, flying overhead of the alley the night Fed and Eld were attacked. The enhanced video shows only the back of a large figure's bald head.

Dran expresses interest in an upcoming drone contest. The party purchase a second-hand drone to enter, and Magni considers drawing out the bald figure by retracing the Copren brothers' movements.
