Darkstyder

We're still on Gandle-Ott, being welcomed with open arms. Day two, and we have a full itinerary waiting for us... and for tomorrow... and the day after...

While others go off to a mushroom cutting ceremony (the 'shrooms, man!), Nat'tar heads out to the local university, and gets in touch with the head of their political department. They discuss the nature of Moff Sarne's leaving, taking with him all the big name powerful people that support the Imperials. And that the people left on the planet are either Imperial toadies, or people who are looking to the New Republic to maybe come in and set up shop, which wouldn't be so bad. Meanwhile, at the shrooming, General [name I've forgotten] has made a wee speech that indicates he might be thinking of leadership, and it wouldn't be an Imperial backed one...

Back at the ship, there's a 'radiation leak', and drone vehicle come in to stop it and spray foam everywhere. For example the exits and in the ship's engines. We aren't too impressed, and Jessa (the acting Captain) makes a big speech about needing to take care of the ship and departs with many a bitter word with Governor Lang. However, since we don't want to burn all the bridges, Nat'tar, the actual captain Kaiya, and others do take the city tour, and Nat'tar shows much appreciation for this unexciting place.

That evening, we are dining at the General's place, and Jessa and Nat'tar have a quiet word with him. Which ends up being 'yes, we are New Republic, and we want to help you take over'. Plans are made for this to be announced (us being rebels, that is, not that the general is stepping up) during tomorrow's events. I'm sure it will be... completely smooth and seamless transition...

[I have to say I am much liking these mechanics when we aren't in combat.]
