Session 5 Recap
Investigating Drift Rock and a new home.
The group investigates the strange equipment and machines, learning very little about the actual purpose of Drift Rock and the ancient alien systems embedded into it. Hesori is able to determine that the displays are flashing warning messages and errors, based on the patterns, but cannot translate specifically.
A hatch at one end of the hallway concealed the body of a human woman. From her computer and personal effects, this woman was one Moriko Nash, captain of a vessel named Sunrise Maiden and lost to the Drift seventy five years in the past. She describes a horrible tale of discovering the Drift Rock and being hunted by a disturbing creature, until she was trapped and alone, certain of death. Captain Nash took her own life, but left full rights to her ship to whomever discovered her body.
After leaving the body as it lay, per Nash's final directive, the crew stumbled upon her vessel in a concealed hanger bay. They also stumbled upon a hideous creature called a garaggakal. The fight with the intelligent, but alien creature from the Drift was touch and go, but in the end the heroes prevailed.
The fight had taken a toll, leaving everyone injured or out of resources to continue, so the group took shelter in the vessel they could now rightfully claim for themselves. While taking time to recover, they discovered that the ship which had brought them to Drift Rock was recalled by station security.
After taking time to recover and getting to know the new ship the crew finishes exploring Drift Rock. In one cavern the encounter a spirit of Captain Nash who became an evil undead creature called a drift dead. The group quickly dispatched the ghost and moved on.
With one chamber left to explore, the group arrives at a dead end and an ambush. An android sniper attacks. She is killed before anyone can learn why she is there, or why she attacked.
Each character receives 1000 experience. One additional day has passed.
