Have you ever played tic-tac-toe?...

Choices must be made,

Clan Marrow practices mind control, and have taken over Al Sub Al Succor (lead by Sameera - Bond villain). ASAS have asked us to help them with getting their people back and in so doing they will support us in our endeavors. The Oryx has also docked here and is transporting a high ranking official of some variety.
Dinner with the Sedocvia: Rigel system has some issues with Dark Between the stars, and Pirates that can deal with them. Not a good place. The Sedocvia ran into serious issues there. The colonies that used to be there have been ravaged by Dark Between creatures, and plasma storms that randomly show up in the system. Have to get through Rigel, to get to Dabaran (scary hole in the ground). But Rigel does have ruins of founder colonies. The bulk of the minors from the Sedocvia are on the Algebar burning through their what money they have.
Tomma offers to help with repairs on the Sedocvia. Ravonis warns the captain of the Sedocvia (Uzair) that things are possibly “more interesting” on the Algebar than previously thought, and perhaps they should take appropriate precautions.
Uzair was gracious enough to share information with us about potential places in Khua system where founder digs could exist.
We decide to try and find out as much information about the mind control as we can.
Master Asam Algebar, is not mind controlled and does not Marrow and could be an asset in finding out as much information as we can. There is an Order of Pariah monastery ship arriving at the Algebar that Ravonis wants to meet with them to try and help steer the people in the right direction…or maybe not…. Ravonis decides to instead speak with the station Imams, of which there are 9. The 9 Imams are representatives of their Icon. One of which is the Order of Pariah Samaritan arm, which is against Marrow.
In the evening Livea is told that we received a call for Lady Quarry (Livea) from Lady Yarides (old family from the Zenith). Lady Yarides wishes to meet with Livea for brunch. Livea is a person of interest to the First Come? Agents of Emirates are aboard the Algebar. Livea is a major target.
Goto researched why someone would want to follow and/or kidnapped. She finds that chatter in the dark web is that the crew of the Yara have been meeting with the Masada and the Selima groups. Likely it is the other groups that would have the biggest interest in her.
Goto goes over to the Sedocvia to help increase their systems efficiency while Ravonis and Mirage go with Livea and Helima and Sinovar (dressed as Tomma) go to Brunch. Tomma (as a miner) goes with Aaid to meet up with a surreptitious meeting with the leader of the security force of the Algebar.
Aaid sets up a super secure meeting in 4 hours. We opt to meet at one of Aaid’s contacts locations. A small maintenance rooms off of the physical plants on station.
Marrow brought back something from Turtusah. When they returned is when their meteoric rise through the ranks began. Marrow maintains a personal surgical suite. The device would most likely be in or adjacent to that suite. It is very possible that the portal builder tech is not connected to a station power system. Arrange for her and Gunshy to be somewhere else, then we only have to deal with her security. That clan is rife with cybernetics. Will be very hard to sneak in. We should also be aware, that there is an opportunity we could use to draw the Marrow leader’s attention. A Hydar has been held in the station, and it is the Iatesimat’s duty to not make it out. So if it gets out it may cause distractions.
Livea’s meeting with Lady Yarides - Lady Yarides wants to end the coming war. Wants Livea and Ravonis to put in their lot to tell the Paru corporation and the Colonial Rangers will cease hostilities. -missed the rest :(-
On the Sedocvia Goto was able to greatly increase the speed with which the ship is repaired. Goto also finds that the general feeling of the Sedocvia toward the Yara are “Buck Rodgers”. Thanks to Fekhria and Goto our rep with the Sedocvia has grown. Apparently we’re local heroes.
Ravonis, Mirage, and Sinovar (as Tomma) meet with the dissenting Imam, Imam DinYavan, the Imam of the merchant. With the Imam’s help bringing a close to the Silk Wars, to a direct benefit of the clans, it may help bring stability to the station. DinYavan is not sure that Al Goul wants peace. She has placed herself against Al Goul so she is not clear on his reasons, but he is the reason that the Order of Pariah is here. The call went out to say the Samaritans on the Algebar need assistance. Assistance arrived in the form of the Order of Pariah monastery ship. The number here that follow the Tenth Icon is not a thing to consider proper. Her concern is what if Marrow changes the mind of the head Imam of the Order of Pariah. Al Goul brought that ship to the Algebar on purpose. Al Goul (read as God Code inside the Algebar) may not want Peace. Al Goul is NOT the leader of the Samaritans. Al Goul does NOT like Marrow. Could be because of the surgeries she’s doing. It’s not clear. Al Goul’s discovery on the Algebar matches up with the timing of the Emissaries arrival from the stars. As well as the uptick in elect (psychically active).

Themes

A struggle for power in the light and in the dark. Players square off. It may be time for the crew if the Yara to change the game.
