Aboard the Opal Star

The Opal Star is quickly approaching the planet Rekura, home to the Valna tribe that is waiting to receive the much-needed medicine. The Valna are a strong people, steeped in tradition and deeply connected to their primal nature. Spectra has worked with some of their tribes before and knows them to be fiercely loyal when that loyalty has been earned. They will not allow new things to change their way of life, instead, they find ways to adopt these new technologies into who they are.

On the way, there is a brief encounter with the security for a roving mining operation which Spectra is able to talk her way out of purely with the fact the owner owes her a favor. The rest of the journey is uneventful with Vaelena asking Spectra about the Valna while everyone else prepares to land.

Maggie Marley finds her answer and more in the depths of the archives. Soon after a witch hunter arrives, coming to take her and a few others to lure out people he believes practice dark magic. The friends refuse to let him take Maggie and quickly handle the situation, just in time for the headmistress to arrive. That is when the full truth of the story comes out.

After a series of...unique distractions, the friends make their way into the Tomehurst archives in search of the records that hopefully hold the answers Maggie Marley is looking for. It could take some time to find the right section but with some clever teamwork, they will be able to find their way to some long-forgotten historical records.

Welcome to Tomehurst Academy, a high school for the magical and the mundane. The placement tests for the magical classes have just ended when a group of students gets a text from a freshman, Maggie Marley, asking for their help. She needs to get into the archives without anyone noticing and she needs to do it this weekend. A local legend will be coming to meet with the headmistress on Monday, but no one knows who or why.

The crew of the Opal Star enjoy some downtime after successfully securing the medicine for the Valna colony. There are a few hours before they will be reaching their destination, so plenty of time to process the past few days.

Tali pulls Anima aside to see how she is handling the revelation of how Ashenforged are made. Anima shares the source of her fears and together they discuss ways to learn more about who she was before she lost her memories. Meanwhile, Faridah settles down somewhere quiet to work on a new song.

Vaelena finally gets a moment to sit down and catch up with her mentor. She brings him up to speed on everything that has happened since she got hired for that mysterious mission, including the mystery of Faridah's fame.

The party has arrived at the public docks. Now it is time to secure the package and keep an eye out for any suspicious persons looking to steal the medicine and swap it out for something else. Meria and Spectra are monitoring their situation from aboard the ship while Ty comes to pick them up in the shuttle. They spot a few thugs, as well as a well-known mercenary who could prove problematic is provoked. Meria has an idea for how to deal with that, though. The key is keeping themselves between the mercenaries and the medicine and not getting arrested.

It's time to steal a heist.

The party returned to the house safe and sound after successfully retrieving all of the information from Cynfriths office. On the drive back home Meria discovered plans to steal life-saving medicine destined for a nearby Valna colony suffering from a plague. He wants to sell it for a cheap high. The crew of the Opal Star is determined to make sure this doesn't happen. So they take some time to gather information and prepare to sneak the package out from under Cyntrith's nose. It's up to Tali, Anima, Vaelena, and Faridah to make sure the package makes it onto the shuttle while Meria and Spectra keep an eye on all communications. With a rough plan, they make their way to the docks to steal a heist.

The party assists Meria as she and Vae break into Cynfrith's office to steal any and all information they can from his computers. Tali is keeping an eye on things while entertaining the bouncer. Faridah has adopted the guise of another celebrity with Anima as her bodyguard and both are prepared to do something drastic if something drastic needs doing. Meanwhile, Vaelena helps Meria infiltrate the office to gather whatever information they can. Cynfrith is a terrible person who is also terribly cocky, so they are able to gather enough information to tear down his network and ruin his life.

They also discover plans for a robbery he has planned the following day. He wants to steal vital medicine from people who need it to turn into a party drug. The crew decides that is unacceptable, so they are going to ruin his day again tomorrow. Hopefully.

After the show was over, an interesting friend approached the group with an even more proposition. Meria is an old friend of Spectra and Tali's, and she finds herself in a bit of a predicament. Someone stole her ship and she needs help tracking down who and where. Thankfully, the bar across the street is owned by a man of ill repute that the party doesn't mind ripping off in an attempt to gain more information. Meria could do the job on her own, but having the party there to run interference will help make the job run much smoother.

It proves to be an interesting night indeed as Vaelena helps Meria break into Cynfrith's office to get the information that could help them dismantle his network. Meanwhile, Faridah impersonates another celebrity to create a distraction.

What could possibly go wrong?

It's intermission time at the Cirq Deliri and our friends are having the time of their lives. The tale that is being told is an old one, but a good one, focusing on one of the first cross-world collaborations to occur in a fledgling Alliance. In the concourse area, there are a variety of vendors from all areas, selling things that have special meaning to the party. Even Anima feels a tug of familiarity from some of the items. Perhaps a long-forgotten memory is about to come to light.

The second half of the show proves to be just as enchanting as the first, showing the power of working together in the face of adversity. Because it is better to face the impossible with friends at your side.

At the end of the performance, they finally get to meet the mystery woman that Spectra and Tali noticed at the beginning of the show. Meria is an old friend looking to rejoin the crew until she can track down the whereabouts of her own ship. She also has an interesting job proposition for the party.
