Dean is not overly happy with the team assembled for his mission, but he will honor JG's wishes as JG is underwriting the enterprise. The selection of Striker Anderson as second in command is discouraging, since Dean has never liked him or even considered him fit for command. Dean will be keeping a close eye on the Major. Keter's inclusion in the group is the most disturbing. Dean is still not sure why JG wanted him to be a part of the team. Keter acts like it's no big deal, but Dean will never trust him. The rest of the team is adequate for carrying out JG's contract negotiations, but lacking in skills that will be necessary for successful infiltration of the Republic of Krax. Time will tell.
The Dean Team is equipped with basic provisions. Each member is armed, but traveling with weapons may become problematic when trying to enter certain systems over the course of the mission. The team members begin with 10,000 credits each, and Dean is responsible for the remaining 220,000 credits held in reserve for any unforeseen expenses. A bonus lump sum of 100,000 credits will be awarded to the entire team for the successful negotiation of a mercenary contract between the Golden Company and the Ginlenchy Concordance.
The team has booked passage on the Illustrious Star, a luxury liner registered with the Imperium. The Illustrious Star travels this route on a regular basis and is known for its opulence and guest amenities. The Dean Team is traveling as tourists and their registered destination is Simulacrim/Tri-Empire/Glimmerdrift Reaches. The team will then board the Far Trader, Raconteur, and travel to Bakcyon/Williamsburg/Glimmerdrift Reaches where they will be meeting with system leaders from the Ginlenchy Concordance.
Begin Adventure*
12-1120 Citadel to Parasit (Tri-Empire/Glimmerdrift Reaches (GR))
No events occured during departure, transit, arrival, and system layover.
26-1120 Parasit to Ixobis-Kher (Tri-Empire/GR)
Departure: The team was stopped by starport security before boarding. Identifications were checked with no issues.
Transit: Jansen and Kyle get into an argument. Dean and Striker were able to break up the heated argument.
Arrival: no issues as Dean Team enters Marlan Primate space.
System Layover: Several unruly miners threaten to riot and close down the starport. Local police are able to contain and disperse the miners. A storm threatens to postpone travel. It passes with no delay to travel.
40-1120 Ixobis Kher to Ixobis Daw (Tri-Empire/GR)
Departure: no issues
Transit: Team members become aware of a passenger that will not leave his cabin. Kyle intervenes and is able to convince the passenger to leave his cabin. The captain and crew are pleased with the intervention. The captain invites the entire team to join him for a meal at the Captain's Table. Jansen loses his temper with Kyle over their past argument and Kyle's constant ridiculing at the Captain's Table. It's an ugly scene that has drawn the attention of the rest of the passengers and crew.
Arrival: no events or issues
System Layover: The Dean Team encountered a friendly official with a local corporation (Ilar Xenith). A possible ally for the cause. Another argument broke out between the entire team. Striker believes the discussion with Ilar could compromise the mission. Keter and Kilgar agree, but Jansen and Kyle side with Dean. The argument becomes heated enough to draw the attention of patrons at a local restaurant. The group continues to draw unwanted attention to itself. Dean is now regretting his decision to go along with JG's recommendations. He is concerned about the mission's success if this pattern continues.
Summary
The group's goal of traveling without drawing attention to themselves has failed. Many have taken notice of the group's finer moments, but also the outbursts between Jansen, Kyle, and the entire team. Fortunately, agents of the 3 Fists Triumverant were not present at any of these events, so the team's mission is safe for now.
