Plot
| Jan 28, 2023


The Zorphax droids have retreated, but the threat is not over. Chalcedon's holonet communications black out, leaving the heroes with refugees to send to Port Etmar, and an ancient relic that is now active...

Step one: ask Davish if he blacked out planetary comms.

Step two: get Dr. Zach Stavin cleared to hyperfocus on this new crystal orb thingy, which he is calling a "palatium" or something like that. He says it's a long distance communications, navigation, and remote viewing artifact of the Choni Techaugers.

Step three: get the multitools off So'Zen's body so Stavin does not do himself an injury.

Step four:

...

... we need to get some elevation.

 
I wish I knew where we should go. So'Zen is better at this than I am.

 


 
We're heading into the Honloo Dust Ocean, up past Stiydear Estate. I need to record a summary of our findings so far -- including the Reese part -- and set it up as an email attachment to Bossman Ani and Captain Rico.

 
I have not changed my point of view on the notion that the Beskar Aran need to stay away from the Honloo Dust Ocean. That means, Rico: Do not come digging me out. Bossman Ani will back me up on this. Don't. It's a really slimy, smelly trap.

 
For one thing: We more than halfway expect to be walking directly in Whackadoodle d'Joy's footsteps.

 
I have so much a bad feeling about all of this. We're doing it without a friendly Mentat. At least we've got a long-dead archaeologist?


 


 
Oh look, it's an island.

 
It's a crater in an island.

 
It's a palatial temple, in a crater, in the island.

 
It's a Choni Tech Auger Temple ruin.

That sank into a crater.

 
We're gonna sneak into it, because it is full of Republic era guards in the mood to kill first.

 


 
First trooper: Sargon is coming?

Second trooper: Oh, yeah. You didn't get the briefing?

First trooper: I guess we look sharp!



 


 
I left three non-combat items behind at the Choni TechAuger Temple ruin in Honloo Dust Ocean:

  • my backup battery for my datapadd

  • the memory expansion datacrystal for when I go a long while without HoloNet access

  • my can of NuSkin

 
I appreciate the effort that the Choni made to assist us.

 


 
I'll be into the vault and have the Mind's Eye soon enough!


- Almon d'Joy, on hearing that Sargon is coming here
