  //Notes
  
  *I'm close.*
  
  *It's been two years since the convoy, and I'm so close. Abelson covered her tracks surprisingly well for a woman with half the Alliance looking for her. I'd almost admire her, if she wasn't a fucking murderer.*
  
  *She was using an alias - another one, gotta make sure to add it to the list - but my guy on the ground swears it's her. He's been good for info so far, and it's the best lead I've had in a while.*
  
  *Mason Station is an odd place for her to pop up. There's not much going on out this way, beyond the junkyard. Could be that she's just looking for a junker to fix up, but I don't think she'd come so far to bank on any old scrap-heap.*
  
  *So she must have finally managed it. I knew she was obsessed with the thing, but it's hard to believe she might've actually *found* it. I was almost sure it had been scrapped by now, but if she thought it was just scrap, she wouldn't have come out this far. She wouldn't have risked being spotted for nothing. So she must've found it, right? She found the *Lone Star*.*

  Two years after events concerning a secretive convoy carrying military cargo resulted in the revelation that the Alliance Navy was complicit in a conspiracy to conceal the discovery of non-human advance technology, the ex-Alliance officer and current fugitive Helena Abelson sends out a call to some of the few people she can still trust. She has, after nearly two years of looking, managed to track down the infamous *Lone Star*.
  
  Stories about the ship say she was a blockade runner, or that she was the fastest smuggling ship on the rim, or that she bombed the governor's home on Temestir, destroyed the colony ship Yamato, and more. Passed from captain to captain for decades, it's impossible to be sure what the ship has really done, and what is just old spacer's tales.
  
  For those that answer Abelson's call, the legend is about to become *very* real.

  ** *Vast Beyond: Lone Star* ** is a follow up to [*Vast Beyond*](https://storium.com/game/vast-beyond--2/chapter-1/scene-1), taking place two years after the events of the first game. This game is a character-focused science fiction drama where characters will take the role of the crew of the *Lone Star*, a legendary outlaw ship, under the leadership of Captain Helena Abelson. Their primary goal will be to uncover more information on a conspiracy that spans both decades and star systems.
  
  Characters will be pushed to their limits as they seek to avoid the Alliance and find the truth.
  
  The game draws inspiration from titles such as *Battlestar Galactica*, *Firefly*, and *Ghost in the Shell* (1995).
  
  *It is not required for new players to have read the first game.*

conversations.prefix: Lone Star - Engineering:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: The med-bay for the *Lone Star* is small for the size of the ship, but is outfitted for a surprising range of injuries and medical situations.

conversations.prefix: Veteran Spacer:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: The black of space is your home. Others find you to be cold or even heartless, but out here, emotions can get you killed.
conversations.prefix: Cold:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: You've got a history with the Alliance. Whatever your role, your familiarity with Alliance tactics and protocols may prove useful. On the other hand, they might have an easier time finding out who you are. Be careful.
conversations.prefix: Military History:
conversations.from: human

conversations.prefix: Earn the Captain's Respect:
conversations.from: gpt

conversations.value: These codes will allow you to decode most Alliance communications.
conversations.prefix: Alliance Encryption Codes:
conversations.from: human

conversations.prefix: Titan X-507 Combat Armour:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Standard-issue Alliance sidearm. Commonly referred to as an "Exat", this weapon is capable of firing in a vacuum, which is why it picked up so much popularity in the Alliance Navy.
conversations.prefix: EX-4T Sidearm:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: This code allows access to the armoury of the Greatwall. Commander Abelson keeps a list of everyone who has access to this code.

conversations.prefix: Reveal the Traitor:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Anti-Alliance ships have gotten past the defenses. They are about to board the ship. They have offered fair treatment to all non-Alliance persons who surrender without resistance. Can you trust them?
conversations.prefix: You Are Being Boarded!:
conversations.from: human

conversations.prefix: Void Sickness:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: There's a lot to worry about when you're trapped in hostile space. Find someone who can help take your mind off of things.
conversations.prefix: Love in Lowly Places:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: You've come upon a rare quiet moment. Use this time to prepare for the next attack by optimizing the ship's defensive capabilities.
conversations.prefix: Look for Ways to Boost the Ship's Defenses:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: The last attack damaged some non-critical systems. Best to make repairs now, while you can. Suit up, you'll need to get on the hull to make the repairs.
conversations.prefix: Make Repairs:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: The *Lone Star* has a relatively small cargo hold. The ship wasn't designed with freight in mind, but there's enough room to take on more than she'd need for regular travel.
conversations.prefix: Lone Star - Cargo Hold:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: The *Lone Star's* captain's quarters are a little larger than the crew quarters, featuring a sizable living area. They seem to have been built with long-term habitation in mind.
conversations.prefix: Lone Star - Captain's Quarters:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: The *April Dawn* is a heavy freighter under the command of Captain Lesley Preston. She survived the Alliance convoy, in part, due to the actions of the crew of the *Vast Beyond*.
conversations.prefix: The April Dawn - Heavy Freighter:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: The primary escort of the lost convoy, the *Greatwall* acts as the command center for the wayward vessels. Her captain requires regular updates from the other ships of the convoy, and does her best to keep them hopeful.
  
  Holds four short-range snub fighters which can be scrambled to defend the convoy within minutes.
conversations.prefix: The Greatwall - Alliance Cruiser:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: A small escort vessel carrying a short-range snub fighter and an advanced reconnaissance suite designed to give advanced warning of possible attacks. Sister ship to the *Broadsword*.
conversations.prefix: The Longsword - Alliance "Minnow"-Class Escort:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: A small escort vessel carrying a short-range snub fighter and an advanced reconnaissance suite designed to give advanced warning of possible attacks. Sister ship to the *Longsword*.
conversations.prefix: The Broadsword - Alliance "Minnow"-Class Escort:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: The imposing *Stonevault*, while larger than the *Vast Beyond*, has the same cargo space, but boasts much more firepower - resting firmly on the limits of what is legal on a non-military vessel. Capable of carrying even the most dangerous and volatile of cargoes, as well as defending it, the *Stonevault* is a well-respected ship.
conversations.prefix: The Stonevault - High Security Transport:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Of comparable size to the *Vast Beyond*, the *Lady* carries yet more sealed crates of military goods.
conversations.prefix: The Lady Madeline - Freighter:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Raised in a military family and groomed for command, half of Alliance space knows of his valiant, if doomed, stand against the traitor, Abelson.
conversations.prefix: Captain Adrian Welsh:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: After the convoy and Abelson's defection, Cdr. Westhaver was moved to the Alliance scout-frigate *Cape Spear*. Her tactical knowledge and familiarity with Abelson has been leveraged in the search for the ex-captain.
conversations.prefix: Commander Joanna Westhaver:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Captain of the April Dawn. The crew of the *Vast Beyond* helped his ship survive the ill-fated convoy two years ago. That could make him an ally, if you play your cards right.
conversations.prefix: Captain Leslie Preston:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Daughter of the well-known freight king Adwell Freeman, the captain of the Lady Madeline seeks to uphold her father's name while paving the way for her own growing reputation. Though she is the least experienced captain in the convoy, her crew are veterans, loyal to her father and his empire.
conversations.prefix: Captain Susan Freeman:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: The former captain of the *Greatwall* has been on the run for two years. She's been using the time to look for answers, and to help destabilize Alliance control along the Rim.
conversations.prefix: Helena Abelson:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: The Alliance is hiding something. Maybe this cargo isn't so routine after all. Everything's sealed up, but with the right tools, someone might be able to find out what's inside.

conversations.prefix: Fend Off the Pirate Attack:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Hauling freight is just a job, but to those who hate the Alliance, any citizen outside alliance space is fair game. Of course, taking down an Alliance vessel is an even greater goal for these terrorists.
conversations.prefix: Anti-Alliance Terrorist Attack:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Captain Stark leads the crew of the Vast Beyond. While friendly with his crew, they know little about him or his past, but some suspect he was once Alliance military. A man with eyes as weary as his may have quite the story, but he is not so eager to have it told.
conversations.prefix: Captain Eric Stark:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Commander Adrian Welsh of the *Longsword* has taken control of the *Greatwall* and is trying to take control of the convoy. Abelson has a plan to escape with as many ships as she can.
conversations.prefix: Mutiny!:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: The Captain is no longer trustworthy! Take over command of the ship by any means necessary. Those who aren't with you, are against you.
conversations.prefix: Codeword is "Mutiny":
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: The worst has happened. Hostile forces have gotten past your defenses and are preparing to board the ship.
conversations.prefix: Prepare to be Boarded!:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Another vessel in the convoy has requested assistance, stand ready to aid them!
conversations.prefix: Assistance Required!:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: The crew needs to eat, and you are responsible for making sure what they eat is at least mostly edible. In charge of managing food stores as well as cooking, you have a key role on the ship, if a sometimes thankless one.
conversations.prefix: Cook:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Your job on the *Lone Star* is to keep her defenses in shape. The Alliance isn't the only danger out in the black, and you need to be ready for anything.
  
  
conversations.prefix: Security Officer:
conversations.from: gpt

conversations.prefix: Dubious Past:

conversations.value: Why you took a job in interstellar shipping you will never quite figure out, but too much time without a planet beneath your feet makes you uneasy. You hope the convoy gets back to familiar space before you break down.
conversations.prefix: Void-sick:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Your home was once the site of a movement that wanted to break free from Alliance control. The Alliance responded with crushing force. You've never forgiven them for what happened there.
conversations.prefix: Make the Alliance Pay:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: The Alliance has eyes and ears everywhere. Every potential contact is *also* a potential threat. The *Lone Star's* mission is too vital to allow for any mistakes, especially when mistakes can be lethal.
conversations.prefix: Danger Within or Without:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Standard armour for combat on space-faring vessels. Hard-sealed against vacuum and temperatures. Features ablative plating which absorbs impacts, but needs to be replaced regularly.
conversations.prefix: "Boxer" Class 2 Ablative Armour:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Standard space-ready suit. Most ships carry one or two of these suits, in case someone needs to get outside the ship to make repairs, etc. Not easily damaged, but not intended for combat use.
conversations.prefix: Hostile-Environment Suit:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: The Kobol AR is a weapon found on both military and civilian ships. An old design, but very sturdy.
conversations.prefix: Kobol Assault Rifle:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: A fairly common Directed Energy Weapon. Due to some Alliance restrictions, Cutlasses have to be manufactured outside Alliance space, and are most often found used by pirates.
conversations.prefix: Cutlass DEW:

conversations.prefix: Stubborn:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: You lost your confidence—in yourself, in humanity, in something—and you’re out here to get it back.
conversations.prefix: Recover What’s Lost:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Hostiles incoming! The *Lone Star* is no freight ship - she's more than up for a fight - but sometimes the best strategy is to run.
conversations.prefix: Under Attack!:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: The *Beyond* took some damage in the last attack. Get things fixed up as best as you can while you have the time.
conversations.prefix: Minor Repairs:

conversations.prefix: Tracking Data:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Abelson's ordered a check on the drive cores for every ship in the convoy. If there are any radiation leaks, it's imperative that they be fixed immediately.
conversations.prefix: Check on the Drive Core:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: The *Vast Beyond*'s scanners collect data during the attacks. Along with data from the *Greatwall*, this may be enough to get some idea of who's behind them.
conversations.prefix: Analyze Sensor Data:

conversations.value: With some work, you may be able to glean more information about the group that's attacking you.
conversations.prefix: Figure out the Enemy:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: It's about time someone had a peek at that Alliance cargo. Whatever's in there, it only seems right that you know what it is that might be getting you killed, right? Just don't let the captain know, and it'll be fine.
conversations.prefix: Investigate the Cargo:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Nothing is falling apart for now, but it's a good idea to do some light repairs while you've got some room to breathe - no telling how long it will last.
conversations.prefix: Maintenance:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: You wake up in the morning feeling strange. Maybe the stress is getting to you?
conversations.prefix: (Jolanta) Strange Feeling:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Your attackers seemed to have backed off for a while, but they're back now, lead by a massive battleship. The *Beyond* is outmatched. The best you can hope for is to survive.
conversations.prefix: Survive:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: The *Beyond* needs repairs, and her crew needs time to recover.
conversations.prefix: Recover:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: You weren't put on this ship at random. Stark is going to go into the cargo, secrets-be-damned. What are you going to do?
conversations.prefix: Tala: Make a Choice:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Stark wants to open the cargo. You know, for a fact, it can be done. Question is, do you tell him - and everyone else - how you learned?
conversations.prefix: Linus: Come Clean:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Whatever's happening to you is draining you. You need sleep, but you have strange dreams.
conversations.prefix: Jolanta: Bad Dreams:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: This code decrypts transmissions to and from the *Greatwall*, be they official or personal.
conversations.prefix: Encryption Code for the Greatwall (copy):
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: You've picked up some comms data that may contain useful info - if you can find a way to read it.
conversations.prefix: Comms Data:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Captain Stark is gone.
  His killer is still aboard the *Beyond*, and may be your only source of information on what's going on. Can you trust the man who shot your captain? What about the Alliance officer who seems to want to take his place?
conversations.prefix: What Next?:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: You're awake now, and you can feel your strength returning. You feel better, but *changed*. Knowing what you know now, will you accept what's happening, or fight against it? What if there *is* no "cure"?
conversations.prefix: Jolanta: Something New:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: The Alliance would kill - *has killed* - to get their hands on any xenotech they can. They'd rather not let anyone else study it, too.
  
conversations.prefix: Xenotech:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: The device in the cargo hold isn't responding to anyone else, but you've got a *history* with the xenotech. Maybe you can figure something out.
conversations.prefix: Jolanta: The Final Piece of the Puzzle:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Jumping away has bought the *Beyond* some time, but you can't stay here forever. It's time to settle on a plan to reunite the convoy.
conversations.prefix: Retaking the Convoy: The Plan:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: You've got a plan, but you need to convince Welsh that you're on *his* side. If you can't, things might get very rough, very fast.
conversations.prefix: Retaking the Convoy: Commander Welsh:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: The behemoth ship has returned. The *Vast Beyond* is in no shape to fight. You'll have to survive as long as you can, and hope the military ships can do *something*.
conversations.prefix: The Star-Golem:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Captain Stark made *you* his second-in-command. This is *your* ship, *your* crew. Abelson is getting out of your way. Time to show everyone what you can do.
conversations.prefix: Sara: Now or Never:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Ex-Alliance Marine, once stationed aboard the *Greatwall*. After the events with the ill-fated convoy, she left the military.
conversations.prefix: Seong Ji:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: One of the surviving "hybrids" from the Alliance convoy. Went into hiding, rather than giving herself over to the Alliance for "containment and study".
conversations.prefix: Kaila Wang:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: You lost your confidence—in yourself, in humanity, in something—and you’re out here to get it back.
conversations.prefix: Recover What’s Lost:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: A young journalist who's sister Tala was "killed" by Helena Abelson. She's made it her purpose to track down Abelson and get answers.
conversations.prefix: Puriwana Dalisay:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: A survivor of the "sickness" brought on by contact with certain xeno-artifacts, you're no longer entirely human, but not entirely *other*. You've been running from the Alliance, trying to keep out of their labs.
conversations.prefix: Hybrid:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: The Remora is a parasite fighter - it has no jump drive and is reliant on it's parent ship. The primary purpose of a parasite fighter is to provide assistance against targets that are more agile than the parent ship and to provide short-range, low-profile scouting.
conversations.prefix: R-810 Remora Light Fighter:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: You knew someone who served aboard the *Greatwall* on her final mission. The Alliance has been tight-lipped about the whole thing. What happened out there? Why didn't they come home?
conversations.prefix: The Legacy of the Greatwall:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: A mononymous information broker who operates on the edges of both Alliance space and laws. They have a reputation for ruthlessness - by all accounts, well-earned.
conversations.prefix: "Mercer":
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Namesake and owner of Freeman Shipping Concern, one of the biggest names in freight within Alliance space.
conversations.prefix: Adwell Freeman:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: An "associate" of Mercer and ex-Alliance marine. Cybernetically enhanced strength, durability, and stealth.
conversations.prefix: Vi Kruger:

conversations.prefix: Sergeant Jodi Stone:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: One of the youngest to reach her rank, Kaede is often seen as an icon of change in the Alliance's highest ranks. Her record in combat is exemplary.
conversations.prefix: Rear-Admiral Sato Kaede:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: The standard Alliance sidearm for over twenty years, the M2189 features a bio-lock which prevents the weapon from being fired by an unauthorized user.
conversations.prefix: M2189 Bio-Lock:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: A favorite among freight crews, the A-225 Defender is considered one of the more reliable firearms on the civilian market.
conversations.prefix: Arming-225 Defender:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Pirates and insurgents across Alliance space often have no way to get "proper" armour, so they cobble together suits from scavenged pieces. Quality varies.
conversations.prefix: Scavenged Armour:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: The Lancer Armoured Flight Suit is standard wear for Alliance combat pilots. Slim enough to fit into a fighter cockpit, but sturdy enough to withstand limited small arms fire. Hard-sealed against a vacuum and designed to fit pilots with flightjack implants.
conversations.prefix: Lancer AFS:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: You're facing down the might of the Alliance fleet. The firepower here is almost incomprehensible. Who thought this was a good idea?
conversations.prefix: The Alliance Fleet:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Rear-Admiral Sato's flagship. The *Ascendancy* has been tasked with controlling the illegal (non-Alliance) study of xenotechnology.
conversations.prefix: The Ascendancy:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: You've had some kind of formal medical training. Ships of all kinds often have a dedicated medical officer, and the *Lone Star*'s mission is one that might require your services more than usual.
conversations.prefix: Medical Officer:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Considered out-of-the-way, even for the rim, Mason Station is essentially a scrap yard. The people who live and work here generally don't have anywhere else to go.
conversations.prefix: Mason Station:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: A small city in orbit around Rhea 6. Birthplace of the late Eric Stark. The city was one of a number of staging points for the "Rhea Insurgency," and is still kept under the watch of an Alliance "security force."
conversations.prefix: Carter Port:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: The Pohler-Koss 38 is perhaps the most widely-used and recognizable law enforcement firearm in Alliance space. More common in the core than out on the rim, where a few "lost" models tend to float around the black markets.
conversations.prefix: PK-38 Police Issue:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: CoreTech's Type-6 Scattergun is, strictly speaking, *very* illegal. Rare, even on the rim, the "Hammer" is known to many as a weapon of pirates, though since the Alliance sometimes equips their special forces with the weapon, CoreTech is allowed to continue to manufacture them. Designed for use in a vacuum and powerful enough to punch through armour plating at close range.

conversations.prefix: Wild:

Behind that grim and stern face, you long for nothing more than to redeem yourself for the loss of your son.
