In a sleazy urban bar in Madua, Nemso, the two get involved in a fight with inexplicably enraged barflies. At the beginning of the fight, Sae observed <a href=\"\u201dhttps:\/\/wiki.olympusrpg.org\/index.php?title=Katelyn\u201d\">a familiar woman<\/a> who he suspects to be responsible for the sudden flare-up of hostilities. Following the fight, as they are exfiltrating, Ella and Sae encounter <a href=\"\u201dhttps:\/\/wiki.olympusrpg.org\/index.php?title=Ivixia_Dannica\u201d\">Envoy Dannica<\/a> who passed on information she\u2019s found from Sam.<\/li>\n<li>At Nemso Orbital, Haank is approached by a drone bearing an invitation for the crew to meet with His Excellency, <a href=\"\u201dhttps:\/\/wiki.olympusrpg.org\/index.php?title=Count_Para_Anjiliac\u201d\">Count Para Anjiliac<\/a> which he acknowledges and schedules for later.<\/li>\n<li>Once the full crew is reassembled, they review the Sam information and learn he is behind the disappearance of the <i>Spinward Star<\/i> because he was concerned about being killed by Monsaanti-Neogene. He has also renamed the ship to <i>Ellasaurus Rex<\/i> so as to avoid further detection; everyone but Ella is delighted by this name change.<\/li>\n<li>The crew proceed on to their scheduled meeting with the count. His Excellency\u2019s aide-de-camp, <a href=\"\u201dhttps:\/\/wiki.olympusrpg.org\/index.php?title=Vago_Gejalli\u201d\">Vago Gejalli<\/a> escorts them planetside to the count\u2019s personal domain where they meet him and his eldest son, <a href=\"\u201dhttps:\/\/wiki.olympusrpg.org\/index.php?title=Lord_Zonno_Anjiliac\u201d\">Viscount Zonno<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>The count informs them that a plague has enveloped the planet, Quopist, in the Lanth sub-sector, and it has been quarantined. His Excellency desires the crew to captain a ship that will be carrying medical supplies to assist \u2026 but more importantly, he wants them to locate his youngest son, <a href=\"\u201dhttps:\/\/wiki.olympusrpg.org\/index.php?title=Lord_Mika_Anjiliac\u201d\">Mika<\/a> who went to Quopist on routine business and has since vanished.<\/li>\n<li>Viscount Zonno interrupts and insists that the crew does not look up to this task. This eventually results in a duel between Sae and one of the viscount\u2019s aslan retainers to prove they <i>are<\/i> capable. The fight is fast and frenetic, but culminates in the vargr kneeing the aslan so hard in the junk that the poor kitty passes out&#8230;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><strong>GM Notes:<\/strong><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>There will likely be no game next week (4\/14\/18) since I (the GM) will be travelling.
