An unnamed light freighter ship has become a home for a variety of companions. Varying in race, skills, occupation, personality, demeanor, wealth, religion and ethics, they nonetheless share core beliefs about decency if not goodness. But bills do need to be paid.
After successfully eliminating a slaver ring, the group has been low on fuel. The freighter they bought is running low in its antimatter reactor and will need to be repaired and refilled. This is actually nice, as the group is coming to a planet known both for the quality of its refitters and for its luxurious archipelago-like geography. Ships are restocked in the ocean while civilization is either found in dome cities or in beautiful resorts and vacation areas on land. It's time to relax a little.
The low hum of the static in the background bursts into action as the SATC of Venur III calls out, "Beginning descent. You are fifth in Queue 37. Prepare to slow to planet fall speeds."

OOG: It's not certain yet that Grimwald will be the primary pilot or the captain. It's likely that there won't be one single captain but a collaborative process, and Grimwald is a good pilot but not an ace which may yet be created. However, he can certainly do the landing, as that is definitely his speed, and so is arguing with customs.
"Landing coordinates have been sent. If you have arrangements to make with a mechanic or other service, please arrange with them now. Otherwise, you will have to book the assigned space for us at a... nominal fee. Ship logs will be needed, and if you have any regulated or contraband items please inform us now so they may be safely stored."

"Then you should call Krila Vilks to confirm your appointment." The remainder of the ship's inventory are sent over, which are basically personal items, essentials, etc. The team has pretty well converted all inventory into cash at the moment.

The team landed and their ship was towed to Krila Vilks. A tense standoff on the pier to the main island occurred between the Jedi and a Hutt. After an exchange of some kind was made, the Hutt meandered off, and the group went their separate ways.
Suddenly, communicator traffic among the team broke out into a flurry of activity. The Jedi had found Jet, the bounty hunter, missing. The Protoss found a suspicious looking building and managed to communicate to Jet.
Rush Omegar and the team's resident catgirl went to the police and discovered that one of the local constabulary had been missing for a few days. Looking into the records, it appeared that she was investigating a gambling ring.

With the party wandering off for their various own missions and goals. Grimwald and his Assistant Borax leave for their Namuti Cocaine delivery at Lunar Beach. Only after making sure that the Refueling is taken care of for their Light Freighter HMS Star Runner.
Side Note- They're taking their Modified Cargo Skiff Second Side Note- Grimwald also checks to make sure that the party's ship's gauge readouts aren't to low either.

OOG: I should point out that I provide details like beach names, usually. And the ship is still unnamed - you can propose a vote to christen it Star Runner, I suppose. Also, if you wouldn't have told the team what it was, you should have used a euphemism here or just referred to the delivery. And what readouts?
Grimwald and Borax stay on the ship until Krila Vilks drive up. The mechanics say, "Hi! This your ship?"

Ah, okay, that's no problem to name your ship.
The Lunar Beach was given by you, I didn't mention it before then. EDIT: Now that I think about it, I think I mentioned it on the phone. My apology. I don't know if I mentioned the person delivered to, though, but that's not an issue.
The party ship definitely needs a refill. Your ship on the other hand has been spared: You have the majority of a new fuel reactor in there.
Response to the mechanic?

Grimwald Notices the mechanic Krila Vilks and asks him, "Good Sir, while not as skilled as yourself at repairs I noticed that the levels for the main ship at our docking bay are low. I was hoping that you could fill them up for me. Of Course you will be well compensated for this. Oh and one more thing this my com number please inform me if anyone stops by the ships, if they are not myself or my associate here." Grimwald slides the tech a 50 for incentive.

"...Yeah, we knew that you were coming in for a refuel, that was what you told us about. Any other mechanical issues of note?" The mechanic pockets the 50 and says, "We'll be extra vigilant."

OOG: Na sounds fine Fred
Grimwald turns to the mechanic and says "That sounds great, and remember to let me know if anyone shows up." Grimwald flashes a 100 credit Note. "Oh, and one more thing the automatic defensive units are in activation so watch out. Well alrighty than I'll see you in 24 standard Hours for an update."
Grimwald signals to Borax and they climb aboard the Star Runner and head off to the Lunar Beach Resort & Spa

The mechanic says, "Hold on a second, do we have permission to deactivate the security systems?"
__________________________________________________
Yay for the completion of a major story arc! The Dark Templar, after defeating four guards and taking their equipment, opened up a door to infiltrate the underground arena that had captured Jet. Jet had apparently battled alongside an orc, Ikris Bladescream, against at least a Xiticix Leaper and another foe. Rush and Jaden pretended to have captured Hazuki while the Dark Templar accompanied them. Soon, Hazuki pretended to escape, and between her and Rush's pretense at recapturing her ineptly therefore hurting his "allies" through "friendly fire", the guards in that area were defeated.
Meanwhile, Jaden freed a Holy Terror. The Holy Terror in turn freed a Temporal Raider. Though the arena security turned on the Lockdown on the cages, the Temporal Raider used his time magic to free people from their cages. These heroic characters held down the guards and made quite a bit of commotion.
Unfortunately, before the DT could save Jet, the group was teleported into the arena itself. It seemed they were going to be, for good or for ill, the last arena match. Immediately, a horrifying and seemingly one-sided match began against the head enforcer: A Machine Person who had somehow become able to synthesize carbon armor. After whittling down the armor, they finally managed to bring him down with a burst of powerful lightning from Jaden.
After the battle, enough commotion had been made to bring the city guard en masse. Jet quickly managed to take the stores of the money in the arena bank and take his 400,000 credit bounty back from the men who has used it as a trap. The total was 100 million! With the 1 million and various trade items from the rich man they defeated, plus looted equipment, the team has plenty of new goodies to split up.
So far, the goodies and quest completion bonuses are:
Everyone:
10 million for each member (which includes at the moment the Warlock, Borax, Grimwold, the Space Marine, Jaden, Jet, Rush, the Dark Templar, Hazuki, and the new teammate Ikris Bladescream) 10 million for the group's supplies 11 somewhat damaged armors 1 auto-pistol (fires heavy ramjet rounds, basically a space magnum) 10 laser rifles 4 electro net launchers 20 stun grenades 4 Screamer Grenades 10 vibro-swords 1 PH-21 Phase Beamer pistol 1 ornate amulet Aerobe microbes Heavy black iron gauntlet
Jet: 2 Class Points 2 Rank Boosts 1 new Mien Ch'uan strike 1 other Mien Ch'uan manuever 2 bounty hunter abilities Leaper Poison 10 Affinity Points 60% Skill Points
Jaden: 2 Class Points 2 Rank Boosts 80% Skill Points 2 Jedi abilities 1 pilot ability 1 new Merit 10 Affinity Points
Dark Templar: 2 Class Points 2 Rank Boosts 60% Skill Points 4 laser rifles 4 ion pistols 8 stun grenades 1 new Dark Templar ability (probably not Mind Control, Maelstrom or Feedback but something reasonable - perhaps your Psi-Storm Saber) 2 minor psychic powers (I'd recommend See Aura based on you needing it last time) New Merit: Combat Acrobatics! (no penalty to strike while moving) 10 Affinity Points
Space Marine: 1 Class Point OR Rank Boost 20% Skill Points 1 ability 5 Affinity Points
Hazuki: 2 Class Points 1 Rank Boost 2 new Cosmo-Knight abilities (something like a special claw attack, signature energy blast or punch, etc.) 5 Affinity Points 1 new Merit 40 more P.P.E.
It's advisable to spend at least some of the individual moneys as well on the main ship, since at the moment the team barely managed to get the money together to refill and do very basic repairs. Enhancing the star drive, getting cloaking or sensor resistance to allow for
Now with their new swag, the group has a few loose ends to tie up. Leaving the arena, they can either accept the inevitable reward and approval of the guards or try to slip away unnoticed.

The Cosmo-Knight code is not that restrictive, and actually more designed to protect against abuses of power. For example: "Avoid lying and cheating, unless necessary for a good cause." The team did take some money from the arena and such, which could be taking money from a criminal proceeds or something. Hazuki did NOT notice much of it, though. You are generally supposed to cooperate with the law, but that's also not a mandate (the Cosmo-Knights certainly don't cooperate with Transgalactic Empire or Splugorthian law).

The police officer thanks you for your candor and cooperation. He whispers, "If you made out with anything from the place, don't worry. Consider it a reward. The police are on your side on this one. By the way, a good number of the bigwigs and some other folks beat the search, so could you check it out, Ms. Cosmo-Knight?" He seems to be treating her as a hero and an honorary fellow woman in blue.
Now where does Hazuki go? She can look for people running from the arena. She could help her Space Marine friend with protecting Ms. Siren. Or any number of other options.

No i would look for the people that left the arena, protecting that lady does not sound like a idea for a cosmo knight. after I got me some cat nip, lol got to feed the addiction.

Well, considering that the stalker apparently had the resources to hire a Draconid mage and two superbeings, it might very well warrant a Cyber-Knight's attention. But yes, I can see your point.
Rush comes in. "Kazuki! Big news, coming fast!"
