The crew of the Filly, recruited the Devil Dog's navigator, Stone, and headed for the slipgate to T85. There, they located the wreckage, maneuvered to it without attracting the fire of a nearby
Flotilla vessel. As they were bringing a promising chunk of wreckage into the cargo hold with the robot arm, a luxury yacht appeared through the slipgate on a rapid vector. Z004 hailed them and spoke to Captain Brill of the Isometric Future, feigning mechanical failure. After several circumstances aroused their suspicions, they decided to bushwack the yacht, which, coincidentally was what the yacht had planned for them. The ensuing firefight drew the attention of the flotilla vessel, Watcher of the Dark Ocean, which destroyed the Isometric Future and drove off the Filly, after inviting Z004 (but explicitly not his human companions) on board.
The wreckage pointed Dora towards a lost undersea civilisation on the main waterworld in the Vega system.
Tonight's Diaspora session seemed a little flat to me, but perhaps it was just me. Or rather perhaps it was me. I seem to be getting an unwelcome case of con crud before the con! It was my first time with the space combat system too, and the chapter could have used a pre-game re-read too. Finally, my
Gamex one-off has absorbed most of my recent Diaspora thought. Preparation, preparation, preparation. It perhaps didn't help that it had been almost a month since
our last session.
