Rom also sent a message with video proof of Project Lightfoot teleportation in operation and stated if they needed help for fighting against corporate oppression, he and his comrades could provide the tech to help. Jose replied in a very carefully stated response that he was not interested in this. Regardless it seems that Jose Sonad made no hesitation contacting law enforcement with information on Bori Trova, for when the Scalawag landed on Blenavursai prime. news reports were being broadcasted of Trova’s criminal activity. Reports stated Trova couldn’t be found as well as his close associates and there was a system-wide manhunt for him. Initial reports indicated that he also had some financial dealings with organized crime on Blenavursai Prime.
Roxie met up with her local criminal middleman contact,Tomono, to pay a promised cut of their heist. She also picked up additional dosage of pacrosynth which seemed to be losing its effectiveness in helping with her narcotic addiction. The other crew members took the opportunity to utilize the improve starport facilities to send out x-boat messages. Deek sent a message to Dame Vera McAllister, asking to know more on the outcome of her nephew’s trial (current news was that he is being held to a lesser charge due to medical reasons). Deek wanted to also know if the information they sent had any bearing on case and if there was any work for them.
Syn made contact with a Torgue representative to drop off the suit and (copied) data on the following day. She was surprised to find her Torgue handler, the enigmatic Ms. White, would be contacting her directly and in person for the meet.
The following day the exchange was made in public outside the Torgue building in a central plaza. Ms. White accompanied by a cyborg technician and security approached. The data was confirmed after the technician scanned through the portable drive (and sparked some worry from Syn that such an enhanced individual might accelerate the process of discovering she made a copy of the data) as well as presence of the suit itself. An envelope full of credits (30,000) was handed over to Syn and Ms. White walked off to return to the building.
Roxie and Grog atop of a building overlooking the hand-off saw a group of men approach with guns drawn. A firefight broke out, with Ms. White and the security team falling back to the Torgue building taking the teleportation suit with them. The crew managed to fight off their attackers, taking one unconscious man with them. As they sped off in their ATV crawler, everyone noticed they were the focus of passerbys recording the event on PDDs, not to mention the likely public camera network in the plaza.
The group quickly loaded up into the Scalawag and broke orbit, seeking to make a jump into empty space. As they were en-route to the 100 DT, USIN programming broadcast local reports of the crew being wanted by authorities for questioning regarding a shooting in the city. The unconscious thug brought with them was loaded into a low berth for cryosleep. While leaving the system, an unmarked craft pursued and fired on the ship. They destroyed the attacking craft taking heavy damage in the process, and were able to finally jump out of the Blenavursai system.
