The crew departs the Opportunity to search for necessary parts to get the ship operational. Dr. Sam is able to work with Nolan to modify a cryo tube so that Colonel Jaeger would have a chance at two extra weeks for surviving the time it will take to get back to the starbase. The crew then scavanges the ship for anything useful and find binoculars, a scope, a sensor suite and something else. They also take some tools in case they need to unhook the equipment.
Emo uses the sensor to make sure they are not surprised by anyone, unfortunately, he was looking for lifeforms and missed the sentry robots. He was able to read the Rigelian writing on the generator and elevators though. Uggh and Trigger spotted the sentry robots just in time though. The sentries were not interested in discussion and started firing right away. Uggh ran ahead and took the brunt of the fire while cooler heads remained behind.
Trigger was able to use his mini computer to hack into the mining stations net and shut the sentry robots down. Emo coldly dispatched the sentries ensuring they would not be reactivated later. Triggr was also able to pull up a live feed of the mining station underground and found where the replacement equipment was located and also found four Rigelian Slavers with six humanoid slaves working the mines. Some of the slaves had what was left of JumpCorp uniforms on. Others appeared to be colonists. One was a Serran female. This becomes important later.
After healing up, the crew, seeing the slavers distracted and deafened by the noise of the mining equipment on the other side of the station, decided to use the elevator and head down. Sam stealthily sneaks off, the others don’t bother, Emo tries to be stealthy but fails as he gives away Sam’s position. Uggh once again runs ahead and triggers the war robots to activate. They attack. It’s not pretty. Uggh is killed (critical fail on the incapacitation table). Sam is seriously injured. Luckily Trigger is still hacked into the mining station and is able to shut down the bots. Sam heroicly loots Uggh’s body.
They find the only way to get the equipment out of the mining facility is through the loading dock doors and the transport vehicles will make it easier to get back to the ship. The three crew burst into the loading dock and kill off three Rigelians, while Mike’s new character, the female Serran named Ferris critically fails her roll to crush the chains in the mining equipment and gets the chain caught in one of the transport trucks…the one the last Rigelian decides to use to make good his escape…dragging six slaves with him if necessary. Mike luckily gets his action before the Rigelian and is able to dislodge the change in time to not die twice in a single game!
The crew take the slaves and the equipment back to the Opportunity where Nolan can attempt to repair the ship and get them back to the station in time to save Colonel Jaeger’s life…again!
