What could only have been the castaway from some wrecked or scuttled vessel drifted by Dolly Dagger's return to orientation, and although it bore no obvious markings, this particular shear of hull boasted the sleek bearing of a jump-capable courier.<br/><br/>They were a smuggler's dream, private ships outfit with Minotaur Motors necessary to traverse wormholes extrajudicial without aid of any behemoth Circular train. And a dream they would remain, for the capability to travel without borders remained safeguarded in the hands of the Human Sphere's highest powers. Often these vessels traveled incognito with valuable cargo, persons of great importance, or some covert purpose. Somewhere out in the wild frontier of the Human Edge, amid the poor dregs of Helicon Belt, such a vessel had run afoul of something. Almost certainly it was scrap now.<br/><br/>Dolly Dagger's diagnostics isolated strange anomolies while restoring full functionality. Some quantronic damage had been dealt, and though this most often came from an attempted hack, there seemed to be no intelligent purpose behind this breach. Corrupted portions of records from a nearby asteroid mine absorbed into your own as though gifted. It would take great care to scrape those corrupted fragments clean beyond the very basics: images of an asteroid base captured by feed and lousy with quantronic noise, scrambled crew schedules, hints of payload weights and finances for a modest shaft mining operation.<br/><br/><strong>Dolly Dagger has suffered 5 quantronic damage and a Breach to Firewall. One character can attempt to repair the Breach with 1 hour and an Average (D1) Tech test.</strong><br/><br/>Among the garbled garbage, there was a kernel nested of real interest. An encrypted emergency message to Concilium Prima had been intercepted. Whether this message was meant for the Senate, the Human Sphere's Security Council, or one of the secretive bureaus of O-12 was imposible to discern without first cracking its cipher.<br/><br/><strong>The group Momentum pool stands at the maximum of 6, but will deplete by 1 at the end of each scene or round of action. Among other things, Momentum can be spent to add an extra d20 to a skill test, to a maximum of +3d20.</strong>
