	TVC 01/1 '''THE SETTING''' Rald, a Shrillexian mercenary, friend of Jutkelon, learned of his death, and vowed to avenge it, along with the loss of the three ships Jutkelon had commanded. Rald learned that Devon had been renamed ‘High Tortuga’ and that it was now under the control of Queen Bethany Anne, formerly of the Etheric Empire. Humans were turning the established order on its head. They hadn’t taken over the businesses completely, but instead had laid down the law with the owners and told them what they could and couldn’t do. He was called by a Torcellan informant of all of this (probably a Syndicate contact), joined the syndicate, and was provided with transportation to High Tortuga (a worker’s berth on the merchant ship Ulys, meet it at Gammon), with specific conditions. No weapons.		TVC 01/1 '''THE SETTING''' Rald, a Shrillexian mercenary, friend of Jutkelon, learned of his death, and vowed to avenge it, along with the loss of the three ships Jutkelon had commanded.

So he came in and didn’t start any trouble? You served him a drink he didn’t like and he still didn’t start anything? And he paid for the drink, even though he didn’t finish it?” Elisa nodded to all of the questions and Carter shook his head. “You’re right. The whole thing reeks of trouble.

 Rald goes to see Farfaldri Kat, a friend of Jutkelon’s. Finds out that all of the trouble was caused by humans, by mostly one human. Didn’t know his name, but mine workers (who own the mine, now), will certainly know the name of their hero. Rald was going to do something about that.
 Fedden meeting with Gar. Fedden was in a bad mood – landing equipment had broken, he had fixed it, was tired, dirty, and Gar still hadn’t shown up.

Luvendi bone structure is comparatively weak,” Shinigami began. “My first change was to manipulate the underlying structure to more closely mimic human bones, which necessitated some other changes so that the body would maintain them in their current state. Since they’re heavier than Gar is used to, I also increased his muscle mass. “It’s worth noting,” Shinigami continued, “that the Luvendi belief in their own weakness has some different causes than you might expect. First, it appears that your diet and lack of exposure to light in early years may have negatively impacted your development, both in bones and muscles. I also detected some organ damage and repaired that. My guess, after subjecting some of your cells to a range of tests, is that Luvendi were meant to have a lot of exposure to strong sunlight, but not the type of sunlight you get on Luvendan. So either something has really changed about the planet—the way the atmosphere filters sunlight, for instance—or your people ended up on Luvendan and lost the records of the migration somehow. My guess would be the latter. You’re clearly meant to live near water, so it’s probable that they chose Luvendan for that reason, built the towers, and have been suffering the after-effects of living inside and eating a poor diet. Anyway, we’ll want to fine-tune all this. But the next part of the process will be to begin training for combat and exercise and go from there. Gar, this is not going to be comfortable was.

 Carter, (owner of Aebura’s Bar), sees Barnabas in the bar, greets him.  Meets Tabitha, who came to bar and found that juice actually meant real fruit juice, not drugs. Tabitha suggested that the bar needed burgers, as well as what it had. Was rather short with Carter, and had no apologies. Liked food there so much, she made a standing order of a daily sandwich for lunch. Carter asked Barnabas where he was headed next. “Off-planet, but not exactly sure. I’ll be on the lookout for the people who came to Lan’s aid. There are a lot of people out here who target planets like High Tortuga because they think no one’s protecting them. My mission has always been to make people like that…reconsider their course of action.”
 Gar in Shinigami’s pod-doc, while she investigated more of his physiology. Barnabas came back to the ship, asked to meet with him.  Gar assumed he had picked a place for them to go first in their search for Lan’s allies.

 TVC 02/2   '''THE FIRST STOP'''   Barnabas has picked their first stop, Virtue station. One of those ships had docked at Virtue relatively recently. It could have been nothing more than a stop to refuel or run some unrelated errand. It is likely there is actually nothing there.” Barnabas wants Gar to come down onto the station with him, to try to discover any information there might be on the mercenaries or their ships. Gar ageeable, so both go down, Barnabas to the "better" bar, Gar to the one with the mercenaries, captains, etc. “What you’re looking for,” he told Gar pointedly, “is anyone advertising protection, weaponry, or guard services—that sort of thing. Mention that Jutkelon was a contact and referred you to them. If they’re part of whatever group he called on, that will get you in. If not, pretend it was a misunderstanding. As long as you respond appropriately you should be fine.” And Shinigami told him she had his back. He thinks Jutkelon was a member of a larger organization, and wants information on that, if possible.
-Shinigami tells Barnabas about Tabitha and his hat. (See Miscellaneous, [[Barnabas Favorite sayings]]), and they head out to Virtue station.

 As their engines warmed up, an alien ship the ‘’Hieto’’, was watching, with the Captain, Klafk’tin, wanting to capture it for its human technology. Its pilot, Tik’ta, agreed it would be a coup. It was the Shinigami.
