Captain's Log.
Stardate: Tuesday.
Over the previous hours, me and my crew of capable droids, R3D2 and C2P2, have cut a swath through the galaxy in an attempt to flee from the Rebels. We have been charged with delivering a piece of information essential to turning the tide of the war; the specifications of the Rebel Flagship. Launched from a far-flung Federation forward base into the depths of a void in a glorified medbay with jets, we were told that we would be faced with heavy opposition, and that the Federation was counting on us. And opposition, we did face. Pirates. Rebels. Cultists. Rebelling Pirate Cultists. And each and every one, we blew to pieces, with nothing more than an Ion burster cannon and cobbled-together weapons drones.

The ship is barely holding together. The air is leaky, the hull is being held together by duct tape and prayer, and the damn doors won't even lock. Otherwise, the situation is nominal; fuel is sufficient for many jumps, and we have enough spare parts that the droids can pump out as many attack bots as we need.

We've reached the end of the first sector, but at the Long-Ranged FTL Beacon, we have a decision to make. It will determine the future of the mission, and our lives.
Fuck squids,
Captain Tom Henderson.

Abandoned Sector, motherfuckers!

We need some Lanius on this here ship!

We decide to warp into the Abandoned sector, in hopes of spotting some Lanius! What is a Lanius, you may ask? Good question. They are a rare form of space whale.

It should be noted that your captain is entirely inexperienced with this game.

The jump goes off without a hitch, and we are informed that the few life signs in this sector have begun being wiped out, possibly by the Lanius.
They're aggressive space whales, I guess.
Only two beacons have been built close enough to this one to use; a really poor choice on the part of the Space Designers, but oh well. Where to?
>>
>>35967994
There's only one way to go, and that is up!
North!
That way!
The one that's above you!
Shut up and fucking go there!

I believe you mean SpaceNorth, cadet.

Full speed ahead! We arrive at the beacon and there's... nothing. Empty space. The stars twinkle in the infinite expanse of space, and Henderson contemplates what a waste of time this was.

Riveting.
We receive a weak distress signal! It's probably a dastardly Space Whale trap to get at our delicious Space Krill stores, but it might actually be a man in trouble, and Henderson spares no man from his particular breed of saving! But perhaps that changes today?
>>
>>35968303
Let's get to that distress signal. It's almost definitely a trap, and we can use that knowledge against them!
>>
>>35968303
To the distress signal!
We are big heroes!

We jump in, and see the Lanius tearing into a Rockman ship!
Henderson is starting to think the Lanius aren't space whales. He probably should've read the Guide To Common Species before he signed up for this.
There's actually a copy sitting in the glove compartment.
Eh, fuck it. But should we intervene, with our pretty-wrecked ship, or just leave?
>>
>>35968438
Lanius are little better than the slugs, attack them and save the rocks.

Save the Lanius. Because friendly robot thieves.

Henderson takes out the Guide.
"Lanius are little better than Slugs. Turn the page "Slugs" for details."
He turns the page. It's been ripped out.
I guess Slugs are slimy space whales or something.
"Lanius are also freaky silicon-based assholes who act like, what are they called, Tieflings? Those guys who steal everything, but nobody's supposed to get mad. Those guys. They also eat oxygen and shit poison."
Henderson turns to Rockmen.
"Total bros."
The course of action is clear! But what is our attack strategy? I spot a small missile launcher, and a big-ass cannon!

With no clear move other than "Fire all the shit" available, we target all their major systems with the Ion intermittently; guns, shields and Engine. Perhaps due to faulty wiring on the part of the Lanius, their missile pod never fires off a shot, and their Laser Cannon isn't nearly as impressive as the size would indicate. All-around, they were chumps.
We contact the Rocks they were attacking!

The dice have it! We warp to the SpaceSoutheast.

We find a Rebel ship, lying in wait! We chat over the comms for a while, and he actually seems like a pretty nice guy. Doesn't accuse the Federation of corrupting his Human rights or anything. But when we ask if we can just warp on out, he powers up his weapons.
He also appears to have thought of a counter to our one and only strategy. The Droids clutch the fresh Attack Drone like a mother clutches her child.

>>35969259
Ion their drone systems and deploy our drones, but whilst we're at it, bend over and brace for impact.
>>
>>35969259
Well. Fuck. Space fuck.

>>35969259
Ion the drone controls, then send out ours! Its the only hope!

If that drone dies, then it's time for a tactical retreat. By which I mean run away like a bitch.

There are also a few mercenaries hanging around in the various shadowy corners of the bar on-station.

With heavy application of spare parts, glue and robot sweat, the ship is fixed! Good as ne-
...Those fuckers didn't even fix the interior bits of the ship? And how did they repair the hull, if there's a hole in the floor of our airlock? What, did they weld everything BUT there?
Jesus, what a shitty space rest stop. Henderson gives them a negative post on their Spacebook page.
Will that be all?

>>35969636
Missing out on a robot sucks. Having your internal organs shot out into the vacuum of space sucks worse.

>>35969636
But then we couldn't get space gas and space coffee.
>>
>>35969661
chill out in the medbay for a sec to fix our spacehealthbar also make the robots fix our spacefloor before we spacejump
>>
>>35969661
Finish up the fixing, buy all their gas so they can't go anywhere, then grab a handfull of space twinkes, a couple of bottles of space coke and get on out of there.

Can I get a space Pepsi instead of a space Coke?

One for up, one for right, one for top-right. Because top right is in the middle of those other two, we go there!

In a burst of distortion and light, we're pulled into the gravity field of a Pulsar star! It's constantly emitting fluctuating radiation fields, playing havoc with out equipment! A Lanius ship, scavenging a broken research station orbiting the place, moves to engage us! They must be hired thugs from that rip-off gas station, hunting us down for stealing a pack of slimjims!

Hmm.
Alright, I have an idea. Bear with me, it's a bit radical, but, I suggest we deploy our drone, and ion various parts of their ship.

>>35970262
YOU ABSOLUTE MADMAN YOU'LL KILL US ALL

>>35970231
Blast their shit, but use the star to our advantage.

Target their weapons system with our ion cannon while the drone goes to town, since the star's gonna wipe their shield out anyway.
>>
>>35970231
Deploy drone, Ion shields. They can't touch us.

Move our shield guy to the engines. See if we can't train up an Engine man.

Combat Analysis:
With the Drone, it makes an incredible team.

Dr. Mr. Derek "Jabba" Bronco was a renowned physician, and part-time Space Snail rider. Until a tragic Snail-riding accident broke his bottom half, rendering him unable to walk. He survived on his Phat Stax, but slowly degraded into debauchery; wild children's parties, drug lording, the works. He tried to get clean of it all, get a steady job working as an accountant for Space Ale 8, but then, the Rebels began their coordinated strike against the beverage, for tailoring it's taste to "Non-Human Scum." He fell back down, and hard, and wound up in the bar, offering himself as a Do-anything prostitute do get just a little more crazy mind drugs.

Upon being hired he immediately used his doctoring skills to walk again.
