Our heroes arrive in the Lummoits system, the closest JumpCorp system with a hospital, relative to Tennor’s space station. They burn a ton of extra fuel to get there, but they arrive in time to get him to the facility.

While at the port facility, all seems to be going well for Trigger, Nolan, and Emo, until Nolan notices that the station techs who are preparing to refuel and resupply their ship, seem to be making careful recordings and notes…much more so than is customary…or required. Trigger and Emo try to convince them to leave…Emo leaning toward using his famously illegal plasma gun, until Nolan throws a smoke grenade in his quarters and sounds the alarm that the ship has a chemical quarantine needed. This does get everyone off the ship, but also put the port in lockdown and no ships can leave or dock.

Meanwhile at the hospital, Boss Fade and Jan Jansen have gotten Tennor into surgery and are waiting to see if the docs can save him. Boss Fade notices that the nurses seem to be watching one particular person furtively. He does a check and discovers two things. First, several of the staff at the hospital are known associates of Tennor Blackfinch. And second, this suspicious guy is not listed as a member of staff. Boss confronts the guy and he takes a nurse as hostage. Boss is able to subdue him and Jan arrives later to pick up his weapon. Upon searching the surgery and the rooms, they discover that Tennor is no longer in the hospital. Security cameras picked up some movement on the paths out back of the hospital that lead to a large city park. Even though Jan was sure there was nothing suspicious in the surgery they do find a hidden exit leading out back.

After the events in the prologue, our intrepid heroes (Boss Fade, Emo, Jan Janson, Nolan Brilliant and Trigger) mobilize to find out what happened to Fang. After much investigation (now Research) and Streetwise (now Networking) the team discovers that Fang’s right hand woman, Cynthia, betrayed his scheme to trade some high tech device to the Orion Pirates to some unknown person. This person left the station. Soon after, Fang left as well, leaving Cynthia in charge of Fangtasia while he supposedly returned home.

The heroes know that Fang was found on a planet just inside one of the Orion Pirates’ controlled systems and that Fang was dealing with the pirates so they decided to pay Tennor Blackfinch a call….that’s when things went pear shaped.

When they got to Tennor’s station they noticed all systems were down and there were only a few life signs detected. They docked and began searching the station, and soon discovered many dead pirates…and two men in some kind of Power Armor. Technology not seen in JumpCorp space before!

After a long battle with the two strangers, the team was able to capture a relatively undamaged suit of Power Armor to send back to JumpCorp R&D. They also found a near death Tennor Blackfinch. Determining that his injuries were beyond the skills of Jan Jansen and the limited med bay aboard their ship, they left for the nearest system with a hospital at fastest speed.

JC701: Season 4: Fang’s Regret

Bodyguard Brigade on patrol along the Orion Pirate sector, got a distress beacon from a JumpCorp transponder, but not sending an identifying code from a ship or person. The signal was coming from an area normally associated with Trevor Blackfinch. They go to investigate and are attacked by 2 fighters. They destroy one, and the other runs off but not before sending out a signal.

They scan the planet and see a dropship and signs of wreckage. They go down and are warned off by the dropship. They determine it belongs to a relatively unknown pirate faction from the other side of the sector. Very strange for it to be here. They fly off and then approach stealthily from the other side of the planet, landing the ship just outside sensor range and hike in from there.

They engage the pirates in a shootout, taking down most pretty quickly before a pirate in a Powered Armor Suit (something they’ve never seen before) comes out. Also, some pirates get about the dropship and start shooting them. Eventually they take out the guy in the armor and the dropship leaves.

They find the wreckage belongs to a cat people craft and there is a message on a coded line from Fang to Emo and the JC701 crew…he’s calling in his favors, he wants them to come rescue him from these new pirates!
