Campaign: Skyjacks

Jonnit tries to right himself after dealing a devastating blow to the Silver Bullet, but the fight still isn't over as the Rowdy Rs have managed to push the remaining Civility featherweave out of The Uhuru's cargo doors– and deployed griffins to capture it. Thankfully Jane and Pliff have finally managed to launch Flea and Lucas to join the fray. Orimar is now surrounded by Rowdy Rs who realized they have no exit. Thankfully as the captain, he can call for backup.

Jonnit struggles to regain control of the battlefield after barely surviving getting into the air and being shot at by enemy riders. Orimar and Tarvis battle Rowdy Rs trying to use surprise to overcome being outnumbered. Gable continues evasive maneuvers diving to skim above a river delta in order to create distance between the Uhuru and The Silver Bullet. Pliff and Jane take a big risk in order to help Jonnit in the air and it has disastrous consequences (predictably for Pliff.)

MAIN SHOW

Gable returns to The Uhuru with news of an unknown ship in the area. Orimar orders everyone to stand by and prepare. Not knowing if they face friend or foe means they have to be ready for everything. Tension mounts as the orphans are moved to a safe location at the heart of the ship and the battle leaders brace for conflict.

Preparation for emergency, fine mobility impairment

THE MAIDEN AND THE HART

Margaret tells the story of The Maiden and the Hart to a restless client. It is an old story, one from before the stars fell, before many of the things we know from our Spéir. It is an important story, one that everyone should hear.

CONTENT NOTE

Gender dysphoria, animal violence, allusion to suicidal ideation, sex, misgendering, death, bitter-sweet ending.

While everyone was having their own adventures last week, Travis was sitting with some of his gloomier thoughts, as a bird. After the sun sets he decides to visit Bathroom Barry, the ship's quartermaster for some advice. During this time he lets it slip that there might be a group aboard the Uhuru planning a mutiny.

CONTENT NOTE

Main Show: Unfolding existential crisis, there are a few bathroom-related jokes because Bathroom Barry is in this one, you are forced to imagine younger hor body-builder Spit, bullying

Dear Uhuru: Mention of Spit having a suspension fetish (that's a rough google,) there is one point where Spit is just screeching "pornography" in the background. I swear this is an otherwise tame segment!

We join Captain Orimar Vale in the process of trying to restore order to his life. His office, his ship, and his body have moved at the whims of wills other than his own for nearly a year. Finding a sense of normalcy will be slow work. Made all the slower by interruptions from aspiring starwatcher Jonnit Kessler. Meanwhile, Gable, Nodoze, and Pliff help Wendell Barge celebrate his upcoming nuptials with a new partner on week-long couture bachelor party hunting trip.

The sun begins to set as the dinner-bell rings. Travis decides to see how valuable the information he won from the Morrigan is. Jonnit and Gable bully Travis for being insistent on having a constant existential crisis. They decide to peep into the future to put him at ease, a choice that I'm sure won't have major implications down the line. Don't worry about it.

CONTENT NOTE

Main Show: kind of a reference to chronic pain, character reacting poorly to an emotional crisis, metaphorical religious trauma, a bit of grief

Dear Uhuru: This is about Slick, Spit's current/former boyfriend. It's sexual.
