The crew of the Scalawag landed in Blenavursai prime and refueled. With a copy of the Lightfoot data, they uploaded it to encrypted, cloud quadrant storage via the x-boat network, so that it could be accessed in the future while in other nearby systems (using their encryption key, it could be retrieved from USIN). Some of the group were eager to do a test run using the teleportation suit, seeing it as an ideal tool to do some illicit activity.

Roxie reached out to system criminal contacts and met a mid-level fixer, Tomono. He told Roxie of a local criminal that was known to have a soft spot for jewelry and precious metals. A likely target for a burglary. His only request was a percentage of any stolen goods as a means to appease his higher-ups within the criminal network. The target in question was a crime lord on Blenavursai-2 named, Bori Trova.

Bori Trova was a large man, thick, muscled, with little bit of a stomach more solid rather than flab. Slicked back hair in his late 40s, with pierced nipples and a love for wearing excessive jewelry, Bori was a walking contradiction. His wardrobe consisted of casual track suits and gaudy furniture adorned his home, but he was known for his excellent taste in art. He appeared uncultured, but had an animal charisma and was capable of being quite charming.

Bori was heavily involved in controlling labor activities for the mining on Blenavursai-2, along with other criminal activities on the thin atmosphere planet. He was known by the system criminal network to be skimming off colony mining profits, hindering funding for terraforming efforts. For the group, he was a likely target not to clamor too loudly to authorities if his home was burglarized.

Landing on Blenavursai-2, the crew went to work casing the target. Rom discovered a local leader and terraforming scientists, Jose Sonad, that was well liked among Blenavursai-2 residents and likely a good contact if any proof of Trovi’s dealings with the terraforming project could be found. They discovered Bori’s love for betting on skulk fights, a local fauna of the planet. They developed a plan to cross paths at a local fight, with Roxie seducing him in order to go back to his home. Once in Bori’s compound, the plan was to make an excuse to leave, dropping off one of the Lightfoot nodes. Syn would jump in, take what she could, and teleport out making away with the stolen goods.

The plan went into action with Roxie successfully using her charm to garner the attention of Bori. They retired to his domicile where the operation began to skew some. Conversation was made and Trova produced some narcotics which Roxie took. Time was lost with Roxie waking up later, clearly doing more with Bori than she had originally considered. She dressed, left a teleportation node behind, and stepped out of the house, leaving the crime lord snoring peacefully.

Syn ported in and went about stealing what she could, including making a copy of incriminating evidence of skimmed profits from mining operations. She ported out, with Deek capturing the use of Lightfoot with a video unit. As Syn ported in there was a flash of light and a dull rumble of thunder. The group realized that the teleportation suit wasn’t as stealthy as expected. Regardless, they left orbit for Blenavursai Prime with a small haul of jewelry, some cash, and computer files of his criminal dealings in their possession.
