In the Midst of a Tropical Shitstorm
Came into the Cholganna system and nearly ran into an asteroid field but got ahead of it. Found some energy signatures on the surface and floating droid craft debris. Ancient things, Clone Wars age fighters and bombers. Which make me wonder what really happened to the Sa Nalaor. She obviously didn’t just run aground.
Sensors detected the planet was about to be eaten by a nebula so we buttoned down the hatches and headed down. Landed on a beach in the equator. Tasted the atmosphere, squashed the sand and then took off in search of energy signatures.
Found a downed escape pod and something else on the other side of the planet. Took it down next to the escape pod. Trimmed the trees a bit but nothing too bad. Found a cloud of green insects outside. As they started biting, I ran for the escape pod. Trip lit up a stick and started waving it about. Naritt lip up the canopy. Jax fired into the cloud. Zimir ran back to the ship. Green things annoyed me but I went in. Found the pod’s designation: 34-BESH.
Zimir came up with the great idea to fire up the ship’s thrusters to burn all the insects. It worked, they all blew away. We found glowing green things stuck to the inside of the pod. Because of the hurry, I tried to pull the memory core but couldn’t get it. But it did become obvious that this fits the description of a Sa Nalaor escape pod. As we head back to the ship, a huge Guf Drolg came out of nowhere and hit Jax. Fired at it with both blasters but in haste, I missed. Luckily, it was enough to scare it off. We took off and headed for the second energy signature. After passing through several debris fields, found a big chunk of what is probably a ship stuck in the river. So we landed on the shore.
Throutek quickly closed the log, having not even bothered sitting down at the console. He picked up his backpack, joining in stride to the rest of the crew shuffling off from the Badger and palmed the door switch after everyone finally stepped off.
