(OOC - thank you, found it...)

"Interesting...well, folks, that's where we're going..."

Looking over the HUD display of the region you pick out a distant lake and a short time later you have successfully re-fueled.

at 1700 the ship's Comm Link chirps. A few moments later the read-out flashes - indicating that a message has been left. Playing it back:

"Okay, we're ready for the shipment, so set down in the barnyard in front of the house."

"OK, set the crates in the Starboard Cargo Airlock, Sanke, on Sensors...go passive for now, Violet, stand by the inside Airlock door, do NOT open that interior door with-out my say so...but stay in contact with me, I want constant chatter from you, Sanke and myself will be monitoring...OK??? Let's go..."

We set down and open the Starboard Airlock Exterior Door...

You make a pass over the abandoned farm - noting it's desolation. It's obvious that the farm has not been worked for many years.

Prior to setting down in the barnyard, Sanke and Violet move into position with Sanke first helping her move all 10 cases just inside the Starboard airlock.

The ship's powerful engines settle into a steady drone as you hover over the vast overgrown barnyard.

Setting the ship down gently, you shift the engines into standby and open the outer Starboard airlock.

Ten men exit the farmhouse and begin walking towards your ship. All are heavily armed.

Violet gasps, "These are horrible men!!!"

"Yes, that's why you do NOT open that Air Lock, Stay out of site..."

Travis sits back and waits...Comm's open...

You see the men on the ship's cameras as they climb up the ramp and begin to unload the cases. Once all 10 are unloaded one of the group waves to the camera and points to his comm unit. He begins talking.

"One of you come out here!"

"Can't you just leave payment in the airlock???"

"Violet???"

Travis asks Violet for a reading...as he heads for the airlock...

Violet's voice pops onto your comm link, "Hmm...They are up to something, but I don't read any immediate feelings of violence...I keep getting flashes of images from their memories...these are crazy people!"

"Sanke...sensor readings...anything?? How many, Where are they..."

Sanke's voice hits you, "According to my readings they're in everyone of the structures surrounding the barnyard. Must be at least 40 of them."

"Be careful Travis!"

The Brigand's voice crackles over your comm unit, "Hey, don't keep me waiting mister!"

Travis steps out into the Inner Airlock and closes the inner airlock behind him

The men stand quietly and watch you as the outer airlock opens. As you approach them more men file out of the buildings and remove the crates of weapons. The leader nods at you and calls back over his shoulder, "Follow me and don't ask any questions."



He then heads into the large run-down farm house.

"OH-KAY..." listening to any chatter from the "Kids" in my ear...

Filing into the farmhouse you catch glimpses of the former occupants lives as you pass through hallways glancing in passing at the dusty family pictures on the wall.

Once in the kitchen the leader opens a cellar door and descends down the dark stepway. As you move down the steps he lights an oil lantern and points to a table with several chairs around it.

"Sit down."

Once you sit down he seats himself and lights a cigar from the oil lantern.

"Drink?"

He takes a swig from a dusty jug and passes it to you.

"My name is McManus."

He nods to a man behind you who brings a briefcase to the table and opens it - exposing stacks of bundled credits.

"There's your money for the guns and ammunition. My understanding from your employer is that 50K of it belongs to you. That's fine. I want to offer you a new contract for a specific job."

"I want you to commit an act of terrorism."
