Outline

Li ran to get a HoverCart and brought the one back that Chiara's team used to get there. Kyra & Dash captured the Skitter in a massive, metal box that Fate fortunately determined was nearby. Li, Anna, and Kyra checked bodies and gave medical attention to Rewalt and one guard who was almost dead. Dash watched on with calloused eyes. The reinforcement SecOps team arrived with 3 officers and a technician. Kyra & Anna had saved Rewalt but he was unconscious and Li saved the life of one of the guards in critical condition by getting him to the incoming cart and the technician on board with the medical kit. They loaded them up on the guard’s TX1 to take back to Medical Wing with Chiara, new team took over. Heard about Refinery Contact lost (no response). Headed back to the “house” given them while trying to reach Grace (unsuccessfully) on the radio. Sped through Thoroughfare to avoid heat. Saw Disciples rioting, no response. Everyone rested up for several hours. Girls at the house began studying the Skitters using various tests. Foam, fridge water, flashlight, & champagne. NPC PCs remained at the house. Li and Dash went to SecOps Detention Center to get to Newton. Discovered he was transferred from the Warden after being escorted by Normy. Walked to Medical Office, stopped by suspicious Officer Moore. They picked up on shadiness and attacked him to disable. They restrained him and pulled him into the room. Li snuck to the camera in the room to shift it up as the guard’s radio chimed in for a report. Dash interrogated him while Li spoke with, bartered for freedom, and rescued Newton. Never responded to guards so a response team showed up. Heavy conflict and standoff, eventually resolved via discussion and confusion. Li tricks them to let him get the body of Newton in the cart to a doctor, dumps him halfway and replaces with another body, and swaps it to allow him to be shown as “dead”. The ploy barely works but works. Dash holds until Normy comes to verify his story, they track and find Newton who is escaping via a black market contact, and retrieve him. They go back to the house. Dash goes alone to the Supervisor’s debriefing as the girls party and Li patches up and questions Newton. After the meeting, the girls help out the science team with their findings, dash leads a team to clear the vents to get to the egg room, and they regroup to leave. They see Grace & Chiara in the hanger when leaving. Dash goes and talks to them, gets Chiara to join them, and they head back to the port. They find the empty ship and 3 messages
