Name: Cassidy Von Maur
Gender: F
Age: 26
Race: Human


Background:

Born as the sole bastard of a broken mother in the slums of Terr CII [City of Spane], Cassidy never had a shoulder to lean on. She had a rough, bitter childhood , her mother would forget her woes in the Zexernet [cheap VR Escapism program/Holodrug] . it didn't last for long as She found her mother dead, strapped to that damn thing. Without any sort of a supporting figure Cassidy soon succumbed into miserable poverty, she had none to guide her.

She might have wound up on a Deterium table for a shady organ harvest if it weren't for Maal Banoon. A low class miner who found her begging for scraps. Something ticked inside Maal, She pulled her out of the streets.

In time, Cassidy turned into a capable woman. She could rely on herself and more if she wanted to. Maal would take her to various mining trips. Cassidy would consider Maal as the mother she never truly had.

it was sudden, unexpected. A disease struck her tutor. Something unknown and vile in one of her 'unauthorized' trips. Cassidy has spent almost all of their Orin [Currency in Hermia's domain] to administer her to a Cyrobed to halt the spread of this unknown Malignancy.

A Zeirkt [ An alien species of crystalline nature. Wears a QauiLock Suit all the time to prevent the release of a Pakticorone byproduct which crystallize almost all organic species- Almost extinct ] doctor by the name of Lobar-ixa showed intrest in this case.

He believed that this unknown disease might also be responsible of the near-extinction of his species. With little authority he had, Lobar-ixa attempted to ignite a project which will identify and possible cure said disease but none showed intrest in funding what could possibly be a financial sinkhole.

None but Cassidy

Name: Mot'isnik Valaa
Gender: M
Age: 2914
Race: Quulan

Background:

Mot'isnik or simply Mot was Qrysallized in Slave world of Quula almost three millennia ago, like the rest of his meta-humanoid race, he was to serve the master race of The Tzxt. A long, bloody revolt which Mot took part in wiped out almost all of the Tzxt, that was until Hermia had to interfere for its own agenda of course.
The Quulan couldn't withstand the wrath of a dominating galactic empire. In the end, they became slaves once again to another bitter, cruel master.

Mot outlived every master he got. He would always bow, take the hit or do anything his master would say. he accepted his fate as some merchandise for buying and selling. The young burning spirit inside his body is no more.His last master, A retired old human miner by the name of Uztuek Vikonov, spent his last months trying to legally free his 12 year old companion. However, Hermia officials would consider Mot as a property nothing more.

As the law dicated, almost all of Uztuek's propeties were claimed by Terr CII and accordingly to Hermia after his death. The old man did find a loophole in the system by writing his ship to Mot and secretly suiting it for him. This sparked a hushed debate inside hermia's legislation offices. They have agreed to give Mot some sort of freedom for two years only so he could find enough resources to 'buy' his freedom. The price tag wasn't cheap though.

Usually, Mot would have accepted a new master but the determination of Uztuek ignited his old spirit, he was determined to buy his freedom for the sake of the old man.

Name: Keshuli Zna Feliun
Gender: M
Age: 41
Race: Vulsian

Background: Born in Vulse, one of the harshest planet in Hermia's domain. Keshuli lived a rough life as a miner, unlike most Vulsians, he volunteered to join the H.T.R (Hermia third ring, a pesudo-independent army fighting for the Hermia domain ) in the seven-year war against The small yet devious Fonta may federations. He was a good solider, everyone in his old squad would vouch for him. Days before said conflict would officially end. A bomb was set in a populated area. The Werrium blast from the bomb obliterated his right arm and leg and a good chunk of his side and face, his quick thinking and action saved dozens of both civilians and soldiers back in Terr CI.
After 9 months of recovery and augmented replacement, he was awarded with the Hermia Oblos ring. He was honorably discharged from the H.T.R.
In these 9 months, he got to know a human nurse by the name of Lilith Strom. Ironically, She was among the civilians he saved. Needless to say, Love did blossom between the two.
Vulsian ancestors were human or close to humans at least. This encouraged the two lovers to have a child.

Their daughter, Wyndol, is fragile with terrible immune system, a somewhat uncommon issue of hybird children. She had more infection and diseases in only three years than him in his entire life. Medlen tech in accosiation with Darmah Bio labs have recently manufactured a powerful serum which will boost the immunity of hybrid species. Due to its rare components, it is extremely expensive.

You apologized, you didn't like it of course but you were certain you would be mad in her place. Beside, none would like to incite a Zeirkt; a simple whiff of their breath would be a gritty death sentence for anyone.

"We will talk about it later." With a smile, you shared your Lindolink with him before leaving the office. It was nice to speak with Xzgrt actually, the few you have met were grumpy war veterans stationed in Vulse.

.

Hermia station Qiel, like many H stations was huge... Never had they install any administrative establishment in any planet they would conquer or Terra Form. It proved to be a smart move in various occasions.

Any H station would house more than permits and other holofiles. You got trading stations, living complexes and many services for Hermia and public usage.

This of course relied on your Class Permit, yours was just above Non Hermia/slaves/others.

Your Lindolink had Dr Loba-Ixa on the line.

"In upper Etaly?" This was indeed a surprise; Etaly was more crammed than a tower city.

"Not one but three! Different sizes...and different prices..." you knew what you have signed for. You were in fact richer than the him which was ironic for a low class miner like yourself.

"How much?" you asked.

"10 for the smallest, 25 for the biggest, 15 for the so-so. Your choice."

You have 25,000 Orin at your disposal. 10,000 must go for Cyrobed each month.

"Take care Lobar"

You had an urge to enter the H Station's trading areas but you had other things to do, you wanted to go back to Spane to check on Maal.

You...hated to see her like this, broken and frozen. That wasn't the Maal you knew, If that disease was a person, Maal would wrestle him down and kick the living shit out of him.

Lobar gave her less than two years before the same disease that almost drove his species to extinction would end the life of your mother.

Speaking of which today was 24th of June, 22901 the same day your biological 'mother' died. You didn't know whether to visit her grave or not.

This particular stage of your past....It was painful. The more you recall your 'mother' the more memories of negligence would blight your heart.

>>520886
This women has no place in your heart. She would spend all the Orin she had on Zexernet instead of you. Maal took care of you, she did what Joan wouldn't do in a million years. She meant nothing to you.

This surge of decisiveness granted you some relief; you had a bitter past, but if anything, it would incite you to have a better future for both yourself and Maal.

You went to the Hangar, with bits of these thoughts still lingering inside your mind. The regulation crew was still looking for the tiniest of dirt on your Valkarii . You made sure to hide any clue of Maal's unauthorized mining trips for this particular moment.

Zamon, Maal's and your trusty A.I was assuring the crew in his usual formal tone "Gentlemen, The Valkarii is a fine ship, one that will never wrong Hermia domain. How many times do i have to repeat myself?"

"Finally, you are here," the head of the regulation crew approached you, she was a bit older than you. Her subordinates were still looking for something "Cassidy Von Moor, right?"

"Von Maur." you corrected her.

"Right, Your Class x-221 Rockbullia is spotless. There is one problem though." She pointed at the Zamon E.Y.E who wasn't fond of folks poking around [Small hovering version of Zamon] "You A.I, while legal, is not registered on any list of ship AI, we can't scan it for any non authorized data. Care to explain?"

>He is a prototype. it was bought from the Yellow market in Upper Etaly. I took....my mother a lot of work to fix it. You won't find him anywhere

>>520967

"Yeah but-" She didn't have much of a chance against you; she looked somewhat and inexperienced. She did have the authority but she didn't know how to use it. Same went for her subordinates.

You were lucky for the second time this day. You left the crew outside as you were preparing for launch. They left the scene in defeat.

"HT, Valkarii ready at Runway 95"

"Affirmative, You are good to go, Take off in five. safe travels, Citizen.

You ship had to pass a couple of checkpoints before release. It was understandable that Hermia Security would be tight; the last war between them and Fonta may federations have made H stations more paranoid courtesy to the simultaneous detonation of 6 H stations across their domain.

"Good Job Cass! Efficient just like Mamma Maal." You knew that Zamon disliked being scanned . Truth was, he never hid anything Malicious. His personality matrix was quite something according to Maal. To him, it was his personal privacy.

"Thanks Zamon, hey can you show me a full report on the ship, what we have and so on?"

Very basic and outdated mining ship. Bulky, slow to steer and maneuver but has lots of space for cargo
.
The Valkarii has:

-Diod Werrium Stallion [power Core/Engine for very sublight travels, this duality and the volatile nature of Werrium makes it very dangerous]

-2 Xoton pickaxe [very basic mining tool, can mine through most minerals]
-1 Werrium tribot [after setting the tribot, it can be used to blast through a certain thickness of sturdy minerals. caution is advised due to the volatile nature of this mining tool, can also be used as a non authorized weapon]
-Farra 82-T [MOD: miniature arm strapped on the back of Cassidy's suit]
-Moc Neuron Wrangler [MOD: Sends a calibrated electric impulse on Yegizognal minerals (Werrium, Oblos, zaginum...etc) to stabilize and keep them from deteriorating, can be used as a non authorized weapon]

Read up on the new policies that would make being independent unprofitable.

>>521071
With your Lindoux, You surfed through the news, Maal's succumb happened only last week, you were too busy to follow anything new.

You were perturbed by the sharp rise in some of the minerals mainly

Terrian Vultar second pact: 40% of any radioactive hauling

Nebulian Third 'preservation' act: 30% of any Nebulian hauling (Liquid gas, gas, others)


TVEE DCMP-01: 20% on any decompressed hauling

TVEE QRYS-06: 20% on any Qrysallized hauling

those were some sharp rises in percentages. There were more hints about more new polices.

i think that is enough for today. A slow start,yes but more will come.


What do you think of Space Miner quest so far?

>>521097
It's looking promising so far, though if we're a miner that has to navigate the vagaries of a volatile market, then we need to be as good an accountant, economist, and political observer as we are a miner and spacer.

We need to know what metals will sell high, what tariffs and taxes we'll have to contend with, and the relative dangers and overcrowding of certain mining spots.
And it does seem like we'll have to consider signing on as a freelancer with a private firm, or working directly for the government.

"Vul-D. Haven't been there in a while, I might even meet a certain Vulsian if i am lucky. "

You had it coming, your AI companion huffed "Oh, that guy. He is bad influence, Cass. Mama Maal didn't like him and so am i. This 'man' reeks of death. In the Fonta May conflict, he might have killed innocent-"

"Vamon...." you stared at his E.Y.E "I am not a little girl. Beside, he is one of us, an independent miner crushing rocks for a living. He didn't earn an Oblos ring for nothing."

Vamon swallowed his words, he sounded a bit grumpy "Setting course for Vul-D, We are running through our 10th Werrium Strip we might need to replenish them soon."

"Thanks Zamon."

[1/?]


>>521251
thank you

>>521907
*Besides
*Zamon

sorry.

You left the rather small cockpit, you had a habit on check on the quieter parts of Valkarii out of paranoia. A Entu parasite has made it on board according to Maal. It crept on her like one of these Terrian old movies. This parasite would paralyze its victim and then it would burrow inside one's chest.

Maal had sent a distress call minutes before the parasite would show itself. The Hermia Distress Force or HDF arrived just on time thankfully. This was why Maal bought Zamon in the first place.

It was clear.

You sighed in relief. It was time for a warm bath. Of course, you preferred the bath tub back in your apartment but this one would do just fine

You took off your clean leather outfit after filling the tub with warm water.

'Luna, Oh my heart~
White, Smooth and Stark
I see you in my dream
Shining like a beam
Of Love~
Of Love~
Luna, Oh my dove~
Fly me to your clove~'

There was a certain charm about this song, it was almost mandatory to listen to it while bathing. It was a shame that Tomay White , the singer, died in one of those H station bombings.

Relaxation overwhelmed you, for a second, the world was gone. You left the tub, it was time to put on some clothes. You had work to do.

You stared at yourself in the mirror, your short red hair was a bit messy. It made a nice composure with your milky skin. You wished you could say the same about freckles plaguing your petit nose in a butterfly pattern.

You closed the link and your eyes; you were too relaxed to give attention to anything.

You had a dreamless sleep for a couple of hours. Zamon didn't need to wake you up, Your Valkarii was approaching the Toxic planet of Vulse and its two moons.

"Zamon, can you show me Vul-D scan?" your AI was confused but he complied anyways
_______________________________________



Vul-D

General info: Small moon of Planet Vulse, Vul-D have lost two large chunks in an unrecorded event.

Gravity: Low

Atmosphere: !TOXIC! mainly due to Vulse's cloud seeping through Vul-D poor atmosphere which contains mainly Rythyl Tri-Robane . Inhalation for more than 5 minutes will burn one's lungs and respiratory tracts. [Suit resistance- Barely Adequate]

Radiation: Moderate [Suit resistance- Barely Adequate]

Atmospheric pressure: Low

Temperature: -140°C----> -270°C [Suit resistance Barely-Adequate]

Geography/Geology:Flat plains with few craters, above its equator, Frozen elements of the moon's core have surfaced from a large fissure spanning across hundreds of Kilometers with 'pools' branching at random.

Dry solid Plasium [ζ]* makes 82% of Vul-D which forms Plaso-bi-Robane [ζ] on the surface as reaction to the toxic cloud. The large two craters contains Plaso-Silicate [ζ] and Tetra Plasosilicorobane [ε]

The frozen Fissure contains Pure Salktium [ε]

'Robane Clouds' contain solid Rythyl Di-Robane [ζ]

Pure Werrium Deposits [ζ] can also be found, it came from a meteorite for certain

[More potent scanning system is required to scan for certain metals/minerals]

Flora: None

Fauna: None

Misc:
-There is no restriction in mining on Vul-D

-The Vul Phenomenon is only observable on Vul-D and Vul-A. In short, it is a periodic yet sharp decline in temperature for 1 hour every 10 hours. This rapid decline will form Robane Clouds within its poor atmosphere.

-On rare occasions, Robane Clouds would change its state from solid into liquid [ Rythyorobane complex [δ] ]. Said Liquid has strong caustic and corrosive properties.

-According to Hermia-Vulsian pact. Hermia is allowed to construct one large facility with unknown purpose on each moon. Approach its Airspace or its parameters will result force The Hermia forces stationed there to use Lethal force.

Salktium

TVEE Category: ε

TVEE no.: #076

Radioactive: Yes - High

Density: High High

Half life: 48-60 hours outside of specialized container [Moc Neuron Wrangler can increase its life span to up 200 hours in specialized container- 50 in normal container] it will deteriorate to Oxidized or Carbonized Salktitate

State: Solid-Amorphous Solid

General info: Salktium is a solid Glass-like element, Found mainly as a core for small planets/moons. It Amorphous state has less stability than it normal solid state, Due to its outstanding High melting point, it is used as a power core for Military weapons that tends to overheat quickly. Its inert nature make it an excellent but expensive insulator . There is no record about Salktium in liquid or gaseous state. Its remarkable half life something as well. When its half life ends, it loses its inert properties reacting with Oxygen or carbon instead of transforming into another element. Either by products are useful in Construction materials

[this template is subjected to change]

General info: Tetra Plasosilicorobane is a complex formed under extreme pressure and heat. Few labs could imitate the same pressure and heat from an impacted meteor. They have a peculiar plateau-like formation with one Large 'Mother' plateau (usually the crater ring) and daughter plateaus which decompress themselves over time. Special tools are required to slice those daughter plateau as one piece which can be used in certain Megaelectronic industries industries , using sheer force or any other means will break the plateau into small sand-like particles, It can be used as a catalyst in some fields of medicine .

Zamon landed perfectly on this lifeless moon. Your scanners indicated that the Vul phenomenon was in full effect.

Took you about half an hour to prepare everything, there was no need to be in a rush; There were enough rocks for everyone.

With E.Y.E, C.U.L.L , your tools and weapon, you hated mining on flat terrain; 12 hours of hunched mining would break your back.

Green clouds were blocking this system's sun, you wouldn't rely on renewing your suit's power that way. You were freezing outside, the thermal insulators in your suit had a limit.

>Farra 93-T required
Well, that would have been nice to know before we landed here.

Fuck, we'll need to go to the Mother Plateau, since we can't get anything from the daughters.

How much does a Werrium strip cost, and how much money do we get per Kg of Tetra Plasosilicorobane?
Because if we can't make back the cost of Werrium by selling the ore, there's no point in using the Tribot and we'll have to do this by hand.

>>522247
we can still get Tetra Plasosilicorobane via or pickaxe or our tribot but it will be scattered (gravel like) not one single daughter plateau. The gravel price is way lower than plateau price.

or like you said we can go for the mother plateau , the end result would be the same- gravel.

Each Strip costs roughly ~500 Orin.
Prices are highly subjected to the buyers and the demand.

Rough price for 100 Kg of Tetra Plasosilicorobane (gravel)= ~400 Orin

Rough price for 100 Kg of Tetra Plasosilicorobane (Plateau)= ~1600 Orin

Man, that's a tiny margin. And it's not including the taxes and tariffs we need to pay.
That's what we get for coming out here unprepared and without doing our homework on what equipment we need to mine the different ores.

Let's use up 2 strips for 4 shots of the Tribot.
Then we'll Work with the Pickaxe for 2 hours, rest for 1 hour, then work 2 hours again.
Go back to our ship with 2 hours of life-support to spare, just in case something happens and we're out longer than anticipated.

>>522278
Full support for this plan, we really need to plan more for next mining trip.

>>522278
You took it real slow, Due to lower gravity, you had to exert more effort with each swing.

Since Werrium is Highly volatile , you took extreme care in adjusting the shots. You gave your tribot enough time for each cool down. It was inaccurate, blasting through random spots but it did its Job

You worked for about seven hours with three hours in between those long seven hours. It was a right call for what seemed to be a waste at first. Bitter weather, Flat terrian, Low gravity...they had their weight.

Zamon was a perfect companion and a friend, his C.U.L.L was picking every bit of gravel was its delicate arms. he gave you a quick report about the current haul

As you were taking off, A small ship twirled above your head succumbing to the ground in the horizon, It sustained heavy damage from a smaller fighter Class Cizz-Bee 'Loyld'

Favorite choice for Pirates.

You couldn't see what was happening precisely from this distance but whoever was on the trading ship fired a Boshkov Bouquet shutting down the fighter's engine.

The pirate ship dropped like a fly close to the trading ship. You could see an exchange of pkasma and Unionized Laser.

Technically you can but .Power supply isn't the only issue here, it need to be reattached to a cleansing spot in the ship to checl on/repair/replenish any sort of damage to various insulators. It (at least this suit) must be used once per day only. doing otherwise will decrease its life span.

" I-013, Do you read? This is Cassidy Von Maur, just hold them off till i get there" You got no reply, you only heard shots flying.

Zamon wanted to object but he knew he wouldn't sway you out of this. You flew as low as possible. Your heart was racing; you were running towards what could be your death.

"Spotted them Cass!" Zamon used the basic thermal scan to identify the pirates. The thermal hue of the fire on the trader's ship was obscuring the state of the trader.

" A Taupvi and a human!" Taupvi have natural thick armour, you doubt your petty pistol could do anything to him. However, their small Emergency suits would be thin with little protection.

The element of surprise was out of the question. Zamon took control of the Valkarii, he used his C.U.L.L to drop you with relative safety. It also functioned as a cover.

"Mail! right! right!" the human shouted as he spotted your ship hovering around the scene, The Taupvi took a couple of pot shots with his Pkasma rifle but Valkarii has one thick armour. Big and Bulky.

The trader was pinning down the human with his unionized laser weapon. The moment you peek out of the C.U.L.L , a Pkasma shot whizzed about your helmet.

Keep in mind that any Pkasma pistol shot must be reported in H station within a week.

I'd say we avoid using plasma pistol as we are on a kinda gray area.

How effective our other equipment are as weapons, you mentioned two?

>>522477
What are justifiable reasons for using plasma weapons and what are the consequences if missed used in the eye of the law. Also, what weak areas can we see on there ship. Maybe we can strike at some fuel or oxygen tank to cause an explosion or something.

>>522483
>>522494
Maybe you should have asked these questions before jumping into the firefight?

Also, the pirate ship is already crashed due to getting hit by missiles. You think a pistol is going to do anything to a ship hull?

>>522494
And lose all that delicious loot they have?

We just need to damage their space suits and we got them...of course while not dying in progress I hope.

>>522477
Are the pirates in range of the wrangler?

>>522483
The Moc Neuron Wrangler Sends a calibrated electric impulse, which is an amplified and more lethal version of taser if it is intended to be used as a weapon. its range is on par with the pistol.

The Tribot is too heavy and dangerous to be used as a peusdo hand cannon in this situation. For mining purposes, It must be set first.

>>522494
The Pkasma pistol is more Lethal, can puncture the EM suit better. However the wrangler can fry some systems in the EM suit, it might even incapacitate the target.

The fighter's engine was momentarily shut downed via the bouquet. Since the terrain is already flat, the pirate ship have suffered minimal damage to its hull.

You were certain you missed, it wasn't easy to aim with the wrangler; this wasn't what it was built for.

More Pksama shots hit your C.U.L.L, it was built to last. At worst, it would leave some marks.

"Cass, I am going to rush this guy! you jump on him!" Zamon's C.U.L.L was starting to gain some speed toward the Taupvi. you haven't seen Zamon being so aggressive before.

Your C.U.L.L have rammed the pirate at full speed, you shot him with your Wrangler square in the helmet.

!! Life support Less than one hour !!

The protective glass of the EM suit was scattered in the process. The Taupvi grasped for air as his lungs were burning from the inside courtesy to Vulse's lethal clouds. His limbs were twitching and struggling to move but they seemed to be paralyzed.

You couldn't watch someone die like that- a painful,slow death. You looked the other way. You had a feeling that after the adrenaline would wear off , Guilt would drown your thoughts.

The human pirate was rendered headless with a clean shot; he underestimated his opponent, he thought he was just some easy mark.

He was a smuggler

Crates of untraced weapons were revealed to the world, they were among other harmless crates of foods and other miscellaneous stuff. The fire was slowly subsiding as a maintenance bot had crawled out of its container just to do its job.

The trader was no human, he didn't show on the thermal scan because he wasn't emitting any. He was a Keur

A race was a wrong term, They were more of a ruthless brand of Old Machines. None knew about their creator, not even them. Hermia, Fonta May and even the Doslok respected their neutrality in any conflict. They would never take any side in any war. They trade instead in their homeworld which could match stars in size. Few like this one, chose to live outside of his homeworld. Fewer should to forsake their pacifist way of their lives.

Any Keur could be a ruthless, killing machine literally. They could survive under the harshest of conditions without any suit. Some can Mod themselves with weapon should he/she want.

The Keur pointed his rifle towards you, his right eye was blasted off and yet he didn't wince....they weren't programmed to feel pain

You weren't going to put your life in the hands of a murderer, a smuggler. Not today.

You took a shot with your wrangler. despite his warning. it hit him square in the chest. He had to return fire,his shot nicked through your right shoulder.

!! Breach spotted !!

The Keur was momentarily paralyzed, unlike you, he didn't need to breathe.


You ignore the wound pulsating in your shoulder. However,you started to cough, it was burning like coal down your throat. Your eyes started to water, every blink carried spikes of pain.

Something swooped you, you were losing your surroundings in a bloody blur. Echoes of Pkasma shots echoed in the air. and that was it.

You blacked out [1/2]

>>522791
That was our only space suit. How much is that going to cost us to repair or replace? Given the scrutiny that we're under, are we going to have to explain the laser burn on the suit?

Well, I hope people are happy with costing us more money when we're pretty much down to nothing.

Your eyes kept flickering as you were gaining your conscious . You were back in The Valkarii, on a portable bed that wasn't yours.


"Cass! How can you be so...so stu-" Zamon's Eye hovered wildly around you. You found a medic, a young blonde man in his thirties with a reassuring smile along with two charming blue eyes. He wore a light grey outfit.

HDF. Of course.

He was administering some cold biogel to your shoulder "Please, give her some space." the Medic demanded gently. Zamon buzzed off, in hindsight, you should have listened to him.

"Your wound should heal in a couple of days. Please take this oral Tiemephazine for two weeks, it should heal your throat. You should thank your AI. He pulled in the ship and called us." Hermia, despite obscene taxes, provided everyone under its domain with high quality.

The medic's smile faded when heavy footsteps echoed on Valkarii's metal floor. Fully armored HDF, Five of them all in grey.

"Ninn, can you excuse us for a moment?" A hoarse voice for a woman command the medic. He nodded before leaving.

"Ma'am, This is Officer Maria Pivali, head of Vulsian HDF-5. We recived a distress call five hours ago from your....friend. We have a couple of questions to ask."

She pulled out a chair and sat down, her legs stretching over the end of your portable bed. "for starters, what happened?"

>>522864
Tell her the story

>>522894
Which story, and how much of the truth?
That we didn't report a pirate ship firing on a trader?
Or that the trader we helped was actually a smuggler?

>>522894
You carefully explained everything what happened without an ounce of lies. The thuds of your heart grew stronger with each second; Maria didn't react, She kept listening in silence.

You took a deep breath after explaining everything. Maria gave the officers a simple glare, they too left the room in silence.

She stood, exposing her face to you, burnt and deformed "You see this Ma'am? this is what i got by trying to act like i am some Old flick Rambo. I see this shitface everyday to remind myself of my mistakes. Thanks to you, a dangerous Keur smuggler has escaped. One that we have no records for. You are more than lucky; i will list your murder as an act of self defense for my sake. The investigation would be a lot more easier with lesser strands, Besides none would care for that lowlife. "

Maria leaned towards your face whispering soft words to your ears "You should have run like a little girl."

Maria closed her helmet "Your record is clean, your cargo is clean. So i will leave you with a simple warning. The next time something like this happen, you know who you gonna call."

The Officer left the room, their footstep soon faded as they were making their way out of your ship. Your voice wasn't the same, a bit raspy. You shoulder hurt like hell even with the biogel.

At least they left you a new bed.

You didn't want to leave your bed. So many things have gone wrong. Well, At least you were alive and (mostly) well.

Your stomach growled. It must have been hours since you ate something. After slogging out of your new bed, You grabbed two Tuynoc rations from your cooking station and proceeded to overheat the packet.

Tuynoc rations were always dry, bi-flavored and cheap. They never expire so that was a plus. Maal bought a lot of these rations so food would not be much of a problem on the Valkarii.

Zamon chose to give you some space. You hated it, This ...uncomfortable silence. You respected his choice . He was steering the Valkarii at the moment.

You took a seat on your soft couch, that feeling of sinking in the couch was great; so comfortable. According to Maal, This couch is older than you. Impressive.

While munching through the ration, you opened your Lindoux looking for something to watch. you kept switching between channels.

Good point.

well, technically we haven't start just yet; still got a couple of posts. soon but not now. When we are ready, I will post in /qtg/ to inform you and the others

The Lindolink belonged to Maal, it would expire in about four years.

The name Horktshu didn't ring any bell. She did have a lot of friends. May be he was just an old friend? The place he was talking about was in fact an old city in Vulse. HDF didn't like to delve deep into this Vulsian gullet of crime.

It wasn't safe by any means.

You were approaching H.Qiel. The H.Station had a lot of traffic for some reason. All the security measures added more time to the clock.

One hour later, you found a spot to dock your Valkarii in the trading hangar of Qiel. It was a painful routine to wait for some crew to check on your hauling.

Surprise. Surprise, It was 1465 kg of Tetra Plasosilicorobane. Just like what you said. but no, they will have use every slowest method available to confirm your words.

145 kg of Tetra Plasosilicorobane has been acclaimed leaving you with 1320 kg of Tetra Plasosilicorobane.

The last single digit always had to be a 0 or a 5 so it wasn't exactly 10%. The rest was yours to sell.

We need a listing of what ores are in demand, and where they can be found, before choosing a destination.

Choosing a destination and hoping for the best is stupid, and I don't know why you're pushing us to do something that is obviously dumb and that an experienced miner would scoff at.
Unless you're pushing the narrative that Cassidy is inexperienced, naive, reckless, and gets herself into trouble that is the butt of jokes by the other miners and made fun of by the police for being the idiot that calls 911 AFTER they jumped headfirst into an already ongoing firefight.

>>526403
what he said, we already did a weeks worth of stupid stuff.

When it came to selling there were a couple of ways to sell your hauling:

-Selling it directly to any Hermia's mining company: to Hermia itself. Its prices are fixed regardless of the demand/other factors. No need for selling your hauling in batches.

-Selling it to Non Hermia buyers: In any H station, Various companies will buy any hauling via a TVEE square, the prices will go up and down according to the demand (Note: Smaller companies might want X in 10 Kg while bigger companies will only buy in 100kg or even 1000kg batches)

-Yellow Market: A large vacant area on Terr (and some habitable planets) where one would park one's ship, wait for a buyer. The two would negotiate for a fair price with Hermia's prices being the reference. Of course, one would have to pay a small fee to park at the first place.

those are the legal methods, however, there are other methods....

[5/?]
>>526403
I am not pushing anyone, every choice is made by the players not me. I just offer all the options available in any given situation. I would have called the HDF and get on with it, maybe HDF might reward us with something


Eventually, We will have to mine in another destinations. I wanted to flesh out this destination, that's it. Which will take more time if i intended to do in the middle of the quest. That's why i save some time by writing these posts before the start of the actual request.

Cassidy , while not a master of her trade, is not inexperienced. She picked a few things from Maal.

>>526457
>I am not pushing anyone, every choice is made by the players not me
Yeah, but doing something like asking people to choose a destination without giving people any information about those destinations, what did you expect to happen?
That we'd choose, say, E-131? You'd flesh it out, and we'd go to it, and then we'd get hit with the data dump after we've arrived and find out that we're missing the equipment we need to actually make the trip profitable?
Or we get there and find out that it only has materials that we would have a hard time collecting, transporting, or selling.
Are you going to change what the destination has depending on what we're looking for? Then why ask us for the destination, if the destination is mutable?

>>526511
Looks i was wrong. point taken.

we will start in a few minutes

You had a lot of tasks in mind, some were more important than others. Your Suit should be your primary concern. Luckily, you knew someone in TVEE square might help you. One of Maal's old friends.

>>526560
>Ask for the current ups and downs in demand
We need to know if our ore is in demand or not.
If it is, then chancing the square is a reasonable gamble to take.
If it isn't, then dumping it to Hermia makes the best economic sense.

Either way, we need money before we can get our suit repaired, and we need to put away the 10,000 Orin we have right now for the monthly payment that needs to go to keep Maal in her cryobed.

sorry about that

>>526704
and the prices for the crap we have loaded?

>>526709
In Hermia mining company ( HMC) :
Default/Ref price= 400/100Kg

In TVEE square:

Medlen tech [390 Orin/ 100 kg]

Darmah Bio labs [4500 Orin/1000 kg]


Anything goes in yellow market. Like shooting, it will rely on luck to have a buyers aroud.

>>526728
We have 1320 kg of the stuff.
Sell 1000 kg to Darmah Bio labs in the TVEE square, and then offload the remaining 300 kg to HMC.
That should net us a small profit, hopefully enough to justify the usage of those Werrium strips and repairing our suit.

>>526745
this, also we used some shots of that mining device, right? how many of that do we have left? replenish if necesarry. and we need to repair that suit, do we know some guy for that, or are we just going to look for a random garage?

5700 Orin has been earned for 1300 Kg of Tetra Plasosilicorobane

Total Orin: 15700

20 Kg (Tetra Plasosilicorobane) remains in the container.

oh and by the way, unless the ore/metal/etc is already found at small quantities like Maliduim Biwerriate. Neither HMC nor TVEE would not accept it.

However, anything goes in Yellow market. There certain buyers who will buy those change.

>>526768
>Write-in
Check the price of Werrium Strips ( we need strips, not the bulk ore ).
Contact Maal's old friend that might be able to repair our suit.

>>526774
Werrium and other power-related supplies had many sellers in H.Qiel but you always preferred to speak with the childish Nayro , Darb Nelee.

Nayro in general were a dwarf race of Mammalian nature, two distinct features of said race (aside from their short stature) were their Bioluminescent skin and pseudo-piscean features.

Most of them were childish in nature because their brain would stop to develop at a certain age for 90% of the population.

"Casssy!" the Nayro squealed in her shop the moment she saw you.

Hey Darb, got some Werrium strips?

The Nayro arched a teeth-full smile. They didn't like to exchange more words very often. She showed you her stock

>>526814
10strips, ask if she knows a capable repair guy for the suit

>>526814
Are these strips compatible with our ship's power core, as well as being used in our tripod?
Are the strips used in things other than just our tripod and ship power core?

Do we need special equipment for mining and transporting Plaso-Silicate grains?
It's currently selling at 9x the base value, so we should try to take advantage of it while we can.

Maal's friend ought to patch your suit. You bought 10 strips for 4000 Orin.

Darb was hopping on the floor for a (slimy) kiss on the cheek. You had to comply with a gentle smile. you wished you brought some sweets with you, maybe next time.

Rex n Bu were your choice for anything related to Suits,Emergency suit and even powerful exosuits.

The human twins were busy dealing with some customers.

You waited for a while before the dyad were free. Both of them seemed to have replaced some of their older augmentation. Bu and Rex were more metal than flesh by now.

"Rex, Bu..."

"Maal's kid paying us a visit. Sorry about...you know." Rex had a soft spot for Maal. His raspy voice didn't convey his feelings "What can i do for ya, Kid?"

>Ask them to patch your suit

>>526845
Yes and yes.

Each strip could last for 1-2 interstellar flights. The problem with the tribot is greater risk of exploding in our face if we used more than 2 shots per strip.

Plaso-Silicate

TVEE Category: ζ

TVEE no.: #063

Radioactive: No

Density: Very High

State: Liquid - Solid [Grain]

Scanned on: Vul-A

General Info: A strange combination between Silicon and Plasium without the need of another element [Robane in most cases]. It had very thick consistency as a liquid which can be used in certain fields of medicine . With very high freezing/melting point. Several Pulses of Radiation is only capable of shrinking it in size to form grains It would be later used as a Filler or a filler in some construction materials

[Any Pulsating Rad device is required to turn it to grain]


[1/2]

"Life is short, Kid. You don't wanna wind up like uncle Rex or Bu. Play it safe." you didn't have to part your lips. Rex knew what happened the moment you showed him your suit.

The price tags around you started from 20000 and upwards, you didn't feel like asking for something you didn't have the Orin for.

Bu installed various patches to match each layer with a nanoscope. A simple hole might be the end of you.

"There. That will be six more months for this suit, you might wanna buy something later kid."

Patching the suit was something trivial to the twins, they would let it slip by;300-500 Orins was nothing. Beside you were their 'kid' so to speak.

"Thanks Rex, by the way, someone by sent message to Maal's Lindolink. do you know someone called Horkt- "

Bu hushed you with his last fleshy finger, Both seemed to be struck by some bad memories "Shushit...Yeah, Listen Kid. The Fucking snake was and still a crook. Left both of us for dead in one of his 'gigs'. Last time i heard of him was when he broke into a Databank in Doslok five years ago by digging his way right under their tight security measures . HDF got some beef with him too. Good thing He is too fucking stupid to slip like this...."

Bu casually strolled to the station's HDF Link "Finally, Shushit is going down. I see some good Orin comin' for you if he got caught from your tip"

>>527059
On the one hand, we really need the money.
But on the other hand, I don't want to sell out one of Maal's friends (though it doesn't sound like he's a friend).

>Write-in
Ask what Shushit's relationship with Maal was like.

>>527076
they were probably on good-ish term.

Maal did perform some illegal acts on the sides. she probably did more in her youth. A guy like Horktshu or 'shushit' might be right up her alley at that time.

>>527110
This is a hard choice.
He's an old friend of our adoptive mom, but he also left our uncle and aunt to die on a heist gone wrong.

>Allow Rex to call the HDF

>>527075
Minutes later, HDF have swarmed the twin's shop. They never really went anywhere without a group of five or more.

They had a Reader , a specialized person who can do pretty much anything with a Lindolink and other Lindo products. The name sounded silly but so did a lot of terms.

This reader tapped into your Linodlink, it took him a couple of minutes before tracking the other Lindolink which sent this message. They didn't tell you where exactly but they were glad of what they have got.

A Bulky Taupvi have exposed his helmet "Ma'am this is Officer Babo Bolinesy of head of section #00532 in H station Qiel. I would like to thank you for submitting this tip. 5000 Orin will be transferred to your account. Have a nice one ma'am.

The officers soon dispersed. For once, you did something right you were proud of without risking yourself. Rex and Bu were closing their shop like other shops in TVEE square. The twins wished you the best of luck.

You still wanted to buy a Pulsating Rad device. you would have to wait for tomorrow to buy it.

>>527200
And waste our money when we need it on new equipment, the lab, and the monthly payments to keep Maal in cryostasis?
I think not.
We were lucky to have made a profit of 4500 Orin on our last job, and it would have been only 4000 if we had to get our suit patched at a place that wouldn't do it for free because the owners like us.

This suit is only good for one 12-hour excursion before needing a day of maintenance in order to not be worn out, and it'll still only last 6 months before we need a new one.
And unless we get a shit suit like the one we have now, we're looking at 20,000 Orin as the starting price.

>>527229
are you going to work cassy like a horse until she dies? she probably needs some drinking and sozialising after the whole shit

>>527251
Maal has limited time left and we haven't even bought equipment for the lab. We don't have the money to waste on frivolities.
It's that same lack of discipline that saw Cassidy abandoned and on the street.

>>527257
maal's not gonna survive either if cassy burns herself out like crazy. i'm not telling to take it easy, but a drink once in a while keeps jimmy from pulling the trigger on his own head or something.

The Valkarii would do just fine. You would alternate between your old and new bed. You had some fleeting thoughts about spend some Orin to spoil yourself a bit in any club but you had more important task ahead. Maal would tight her spending if she was in your place.

The moment you stepped into the Valkarii, Paranoia struck you; you felt like someone or something was inside your ship. You called Zamon. Thankfully, he was fine.

You grabbed your Pkasma pistol(you weren't authorized to carry it outside of your ship in any H station. And carefully checked every nook and cranny.

Nothing.

Zamon scanned the ship as well to give you a sense of security. Perhaps you were just hearing things. It happened before, you wished you could omit this irrational fear of having an Entu parasite jumping on your back out of the sudden.


After taking your pills and applying the biogel. You slipped into something more comfortable. Your voice was a bit hoarse like a younger version Uncle Rex and Aunti Bu.

Time to sleep.

[1/2]

>>527306
Uh, does Zamon's scan also pick up robots? Because that robot smuggler is gonna want us dead and it doesn't show up on normal scans.

You had a blissful sleep last night, you wanted to hurry to Vul A as soon as possible; you weren't the only miner who sniffed some profit on the Vulsian moon.

You dressed up and gulped a ration as quickly as possible, your hair was messy but now wasn't the time.

Sadly you didn't have friends like Rex, Bu or Darb when it came to MODS or equipment or new ships.You had to choose the first shop you could find.

1500 Orin for a Farra 92-S Rapulse was a bit expensive but the demand for it has increased. Everyone is trying to make Orin somehow

i think that is enough for today. What do you think of the quest so far?

Feedback is appreciated.

>>527287
we don't have a lot of enemies. Shushit doesn't even know about us. HDF won't rat out on the tipper for no reason.

As for the smuggler, It is kind of detectable. he did lose a shipment of weapons thanks to our intervention. we will see.
>>527318

Keurs are not just robots. they are complex old Machines.

No, Keurs are made out an indigenous metal only found in their homeworld. With their ways to keep their technologies to themselves and with the little number of Keurian corpse claimed by Hermia domain, Fonta May or the Doslok, there is little Anti-Keurian technology exploring this area might entice a war between the offending empire and their 'race'.

you keep saying pkasma, do you mean plasma, or am i being stupid again?

and what is a farra 92-s rapulse? is there a dictionary for the stuff you use?

i'm really fond of the characters and the story, it's just that the special words keep confusing me.

>>527367
>Pkasma

nah, It is on me. I kind of like it actually but in reality it is just Plasma. won't hurt to play a bit with words, no?

Spane=Spain
Upper/lower Italy= Italy (This might be understandable since Terr CII is the 112th terraformed planet by Hermia domain so terms might be prone to change)

One of the virtues of Tollqa system was its relative clear space; Maal told you stories about system with endless debris and asteroids clogging up traditional sublight travels. In some systems, It was so severe that wormholes were the sole method of traveling to planet of said system.

Tollqa's sun is a small star, A blue dwarf to be exact. This was actually its core. It had lost all of its outer mass thousands if not millions of years ago.

You requested a permission to leave the H station, After a couple of security checks, you were good to go.

[2/?]

You set the Valkaari on cruise mode for now. You had to resolve something first.

"Zamon, we need to talk...."

"About what? About your bravado? your recklessness? Do you have any id-"

"Zamon...I am sorry. I was too stupid to jump in action like this. I get... impulsive sometimes, you know." you said.

"Cassidy," he lowered his tone "I.... can't lose you. It tears my apart knowing that Mama Maal could die any moment. Both of you are everything i have. "

"I will be more careful, I promise." this small chat had relieved both parties. You hoped you won't charge head first into perilous situations in the future.

"I will handle the Valkaari, Vul-A, right?"

"Yeah."

[3/?]

>>528744
Looks like we are suffering from technical difficulties. It will be like hell to keep posting via the phone.

Until further notice, there won't be any updates for today

You took another dose of Tiemephazine with your rations. You checked your Lindolink for new messages.

Nothing.

You opened your Lindoux.

[4/?]

alright i think we are good to go

You had a lot of things in mind.

For one, you had to check on Maal. The hefty payment was always at the fifth of each month . There was a three day limit before the patient would get 'discharged'. This was a death warrant to Maal.

You still had to speak with Lobar Ixa, he said it was urgent. You trusted this man; he was working for both Maal and his species.

The last but not least thought you had on your mind was installing a security system on the Valkarii. Like most mining ships, Installing any weapon was outlawed by the domain. you got that but at least if an intruder like that damn parasite made its way inside your ship, you wanted to feel safe.

This was, as expected, an expensive installment. Your financial situation wasn't stable at the moment.

A couple of hours separated you from Vul-A, you have already spotted some mining ships flocking to your destination. Not good.

Vul-A

General info: Bigger moon of Planet Vulse, Vul-A was scarred by a giant Werrium Meteor in an unrecorded event

Size: Small

Gravity: Low

Atmosphere: !TOXIC! due to Vulse's cloud seeping through Vul-A poor atmosphere which contains Rythyl Tri-Robane . Inhalation for more than 5 minutes will burn one's lungs and respiratory tracts. [Suit resistance- Barely Adequate]

Radiation: Low [Suit resistance- Adequate]

Atmospheric pressure: Low

Temperature: -90°C----> -150°C [Suit resistance Adequate]

Geography/Geology: Rough, small and irregular hills covers most of the moon. Rest are plain terrains. Shards to Werrium (some may reach 40m in height) are mainly found below the equator. Few craters are found as well with one large and distinct crater 'The eye of Oblos'. There are several 'pores' across the moon . certain pools of Iron are spewn from the molten core via these pores. 'Rivers' of Plaso-silicate are found among a concentration of craters above the equator. This river ends in the lowest depression of Vul-A.

Dry solid Plasium [ζ]* makes 75% of Vul-D which forms Plaso-bi-Robane [ζ] on the surface as reaction to the toxic cloud. All the craters contain Plaso-BiSilicate [ζ] and Tetra Plasosilicorobane [ε]

Plaso-Silicate [ζ] can be found among the NW craters.

Pure Oblos [γ] can be found in the Eye of Oblos

Pure Iron [Isotope-24] [ζ] can be found around some pores.

Pure Werrium Deposits [ζ] can be seen from afar as gigantic towers, possible trace of Maliduim Biwerriate [δ] [Isotope-16]

[More potent scanning system is required to scan for certain metals/minerals]

Flora: None

Fauna: None

Misc:
-There is no restriction in mining on Vul-D

-The Vul Phenomenon is only observable on Vul-D and Vul-A. In short, it is a periodic yet sharp decline in temperature for 1 hour every 10 hours. No Robane clouds are found in Vul-A


-According to Hermia-Vulsian pact. Hermia is allowed to construct one large facility with unknown purpose on each moon. Approach its Airspace or its parameters will result force The Hermia forces stationed there to use Lethal force.

>>528902
You contacted Lobar Ixa, who thought that something bad happened since it was 3 AM on that part of Terr CII

He was sleeping when you called, you wanted to know what did he want to talk about but again he insisted on meeting you personally. He said that it was a Difficult choice whatever it was and so he wanted to speak to you face to face.

You told him that you would meet him the very chance you got.

Stay current with current events. We need to try to stay ahead of the curve when it comes to valuable ores.

>>529002
>>528857
unless you want more news. not everything is related to our profession

>>528984
wich of the stuff on Vul-A can we mine and store effectively. this is all moon runes to me.

>>529021
I want to know things like politicians getting elected, their past voting record, any bills about to be voted on that affect mining and trade tariffs.
Also if the economy is projected to do well then construction should go up, meaning a rise in construction materials.
Also if new medicines are about to hit, they might need some of the ores that are medical catalysts.

We also need to keep up to date on police activity and how that will affect pirate activity.

This is what it means to be an independent miner.

>>529021
there's got to be a search butten on the news. look for the price development on the minerals found on Vul-A and mine the most profitable.

>>529025
we are gunning for the Plaso-silicate [green/grey river] since it has the highest market value.


In our current situation, every Ore/mineral is obtainable but:

Oblos, the most potent member of Yegizognal minerals, highly radioactive and it will interfere with various systems in one's suit. Even with the best insulation, One can not mine Oblos for more than 30 minutes.

Maliduim Biwerriate: Werrium mining is a painful and slow progress, Since it is volatile, it might explode in your face at the wrong swing. Maliduim Biwerriate is usually found deep in the heart of Werrium deposits, it is highly unstable and rare, requires more delicate mining tools rather than a pickaxe.

>>529059
If if we were able to mine Oblos, our cargo hold is unshielded and unsuited to carry radioactives; we'd contaminate our entire ship if we brought Oblos aboard.

The Malidium would just blow us up.

>>529066
right, we promised Zamon not to die by being stupid.

>>529075
>not to die by being stupid.
Considering that this is a quest character played by 4chan players, that's a tall order.

>>529082
i don't want cassy to die and i assume neither do you nor op. we'll do fine

You switched the channels in your Lindoux looking for any news of intrest.

"-said that the recent expansion will not effect the ecological balance of Terr CII. This statement contradicts with the aggressive construction of 56 factories all related to heavy industries in the past six years.

In other news, The breakthrough in Hybrid-Boosting Immunity serums made by the collaboration of Medlen Tech and Darmah Bio Labs has proven to be extremely expensive. Spokesmen of the two firms justify the price due to its rare components. They promise those who can't afford the six figure price to lessen it to a manageable one once a cheaper but safe alternative for the serum can be found."

You immediately thought about Keshuli, The Vulsian that Zamon wasn't fond of. Poor man, you only saw his daughter once in his Lindoux, she looked so...frail. You wondered how would he cope this what could save his daughter from her weak immunity system.


>Go to sleep untill you reach Vul-A

You had an urge to sleep. You were starting to like your new bed. Time for a shuteye.

.

You snapped out of your vague dream in a sudden. You didn't know why you kneejerked like this; none was in you private room. It was quiet. Zamon was silently steering the Valkaari

You dispelled your thoughts for a moment. Time to get up.

The Valkaari was swimming in Vul-A toxic atmosphere. A big frown was drawn on your face as your scan showed multiple ships already sucking the goods. All the ships landed near the so called river. Dozens belonged to private companies while others were just like you.

You landed in a non crowded area. Time to earn some Orin. Hauling grains might be time consuming though.

[12 Hours Available]
[Direct Sunlight Available, Possible ~1-3 extra hours]
[Available for mining: Plaso-Sillicate]
[Farra 92-S Rapulse ----> 50-100 kg/hour (Normal Pulse with small Area of effect) ]

[Increase in thermal insulator output----> 1 hour]


Please chose a mining plan for Cassidy, keep in mind that she will have to rest at some point.

>>529268
what's the difference between normal and hazardous pulse considering equipment and safety

>>529268
2 hours mining, 30 minute break, then back to mining.
Stick with the safe setting; we can't afford another suit repair or replacement of our equipment, not when we barely have enough money to pay for a month's time for Maal.

>>529297
We are using a device which emits powerful gamma radiation which will bombard Plaso-silicate atom. This will force it to change its state from liquid to solid as feasible temperature doesn't affect it at all.

Hazardous Pulse will amplify the radius and the intensity, it is less controlled and might put us in its radius.

>>529305
does that include the extra sunlight hours?

>>529327
>it is less controlled and might put us in its radius
use normal setting in that case. let's plan for eleven hours
