Arriving in Ganymede orbit, we hear reported through the news feed about the raid we just perpetrated, and there is fuzzy surveillance video or a few of us in action. The anchor says that it is believed a “yet unnamed” resistance group was responsible for the crime, though no one has yet stepped forward.

The group tries to look for a place that we can stay that is under the radar. Eve calls one of her doctors to see if they can get her official papers for the delivery of the cadavers we are carrying in the hold.

Cam starts working on the truck; weapons and equipment are distributed to the party and it is decided what we will sell and what we’ll keep.

Eve’s doctor responds and says that she is on Earth’s moon. She will have the paperwork drawn up for us by the time we reach there.

Stitch contacts an armorer and says that he will meet us on an uninhabited asteroid to buy the equipment we have for sale. It will take us roughly 30 hours to get there.

We arrive safely at the asteroid and meet Stitch’s contact. We negotiate 20,000 nuyen for all of the merchandise, and after a few minutes trade everything over. The money is split between the party members and we soon depart for the Earth’s moon.

The doctor’s location is near the Lunar Syndicate. We land and load the bodies up for transit. Stitch says that he is going to stay with the ship. The rest of the party meets up with the doc and she takes a look at the bodies we have brought. She agrees to pay about 50,000 for all of the bodies and cyberware. This is again divided between the party members.

Cam shops around for a new core system for the ship so we can mask our identity if we wish. He finds a place that has one for a Firefly-class vessel that is in pretty good shape, but settles on a cheaper one that needs some refurbishing. He packs it all in the truck and takes it back to the ship. He estimates that it will take him 10 days or so to integrate the second system.

Eve finds out that there is demand for lumber runs from the Earth to Vesta. The pay is only 4,000 nuyen but it is honest money. We decide to do the run, and also get a lead on another job that may require personnel with varied skills.

In a bar on Vesta we meet Bengal, a businessman with Asian features and feline biomods, the most obvious being his cat-eyes. His crew is with him, decked out with mods and tech. He explains that there is a hacker on Pallas that is sending out spam messages which is sucking up bandwidth and causing a lot of trouble. We are to shut him down anyway possible, since the local authorities have been unsuccessful. They have however traced him to a specific corporation, ClimaStat Inc. on Pallas. Software analysts have found that some of the code used in these attacks was used by a hacker Pedro “Freewire” Chin in 2414, six years ago. Chin was charged but never convicted. Apparently Freewire has been rumored to be on Pallas, or any number of other places, or that he’s retired or dead. Bengal offers 45,000 nuyen for the job plus expenses. We agree, but ask for chameleon suits for everyone in the party as well. Bengal agrees.

Bengal further explains that he does not have any “ins” with ClimaStat so we are on our own there, we will have to either break or hack in. He says that the confirmation that the job is done is that the traffic he is causing ceases. That is really all these people care about; they don’t necessarily want to see his dead body or see him arrested.

We do some shopping for equipment; Cam purchases a sequencer and some other devices.

We will be doing another legal run of ore shipment to Eros and then will continue on to Pallas with another shipment before the big job.
