Jupiter Zeus was nearly out of credits...if he didn't find a
job soon, well let's just say he had to find a job. There was plenty to do here on Persephone
Station. The Space Betta fights were
always a blast, and the ladies...especially the ladies down in The Coil, were oh
so very nice, and for a wilder evening the Astro A Go-Go
was the place to go! Hell just grabbing
some grub at Maude's place wasn't too bad, as long as it wasn't Cosmic Chili Night. But fun doesn't come cheap unless you're down
in Clincher's Hole (yuck) and no one on
this station would settle for an I.O.U.
So best find some work and soon!
He knew who could help him out! Rosie. Rosie was a serving
Bot that worked in the Starside Lounge among
other places. Rosie seemed to have a glitch in her programming that worked right
to Jupiter's advantage, he could sweet talk her into telling him anything and
she often overheard interesting things while waiting tables at the station.
Sooo after a bit of sweet talking (good persuasion roll) with Rosie, Jupiter did
pick up some interesting info.
The starship The Luna Moth had just docked at the station,
and dropped off a passenger, a creepy Devacryl named Zyge D'Gotha who was
apparently looking for certain skilled specialists to perform a job for him. But
Devacryls? You can't ever trust those
bastards!
Another group was also readying to depart the station, a
group of humans, Scientific Researchers that are journeying to the long
abandoned world of El Dorado to engage in an archeological dig of some kind
apparently they were looking for some alien ruins/ fossils or some such,
apparently they needed extra security (the sec team they hired (Gamora
Security- Damned Lizards! had backed out) and were asking around the station to
see about any takers, pay was supposed to be good, according to Rosie no one was
hiring on! They were seen loading some
sort of big drill machine into the cargo hold of their ship The Odyssey.
... But
digging around on El Dorado with a bunch of humans! El Dorado!! Everyone knew
that place was cursed!!!
Then there was that Nire Witch... named Nekraisa that wanted a bodyguard to escort her to the Radioactive Moon of Psyka Prime.
She was smoking hot! But Psychics and especially Nire Witches freaked him out, supposedly there were no male members of their species! And this particular Nire Witch had some FREAKY Fingernails!
Not to mention Rosie seemed jealous about her? Can a robot get jealous??
Well Rosie had come through with some good info, but none of these jobs really thrilled him. Jupiter decided to do some mingling of his own and see what he could come up with
Before long the simian was approached by a smarty-pants human weirdo named Silas Dryx, Jupiter had dealt with the cyber human in the past. He didn't like him then and he didn't like him now. Silas was a cyber enhanced genius and he had no problem making sure everyone around him knew how dumb they all were. Silas was trying recruit a team to get (sneak) into Woo-Chenkova Station and acquire (steal) Serum ZX-666 that Castillon Consolidated has been brewing up. (More successful Acquisition rolls allowed Jupiter Zeus to learn more of the details of Silas's plan than the arrogant genius would have otherwise revealed) Stupid human, what does he think I am a Shadowrunner or some crap?!
Just when Jupiter was seriously considering approaching the Devacryl about the possible job, he spotted a lovely (so sue him, he had a thing for the ladies!), Aelfar female sitting alone at the bar. Jupiter went over, offered to buy her a drink and...
More to come!!
Great Stuff BB!
ReplyDeleteTHANKS! I got picture crazy with these posts, but it helped tell the story. And Rogue Space is perfect for letting me toss in whatever things I want to add! The more I play it the more versatility I see that the system has to offer!
DeleteThis is pure gold my friend! Awesome!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jay, that's a big compliment from you, your Ad Astra posts have been very inspiring!
