First game night of the new year, woot! We met last night for our Serenity RPG - here's the pre-cap of the mission from Mac:
On New Canton, things break, even when Dao-ming isn't around.
Sometimes, a big, expensive piece of machinery will fall into the
churning mud and get all full of gunk. Someone needs to clean it up and
keep it in working order.
There's a small company in that neck of the 'verse that contracts
out all such work. Dao-ming has managed to send a wave to an old friend
on New Canton, found out the name of the company and how to reach them.
They seem like just the sorta people to clean up a giant weird
unidentifiable artifact what's been buried 'neath the desert for a good
chunk of time.
The artifact itself currently sits in your cargo bay. The
crew has finally cleaned off all the easy stuff. Dao-ming herself just
wanted to take a hose to the blasted object, but others in the crew,
aware of how easy it is to damage valuable things, have convinced her to
let other people do the work for you.
The thing has been stuck in a container now with some padding inside
to keep it safe 'til you get a chance to pretty it up and see what
exactly it is. Under the remaining grit and grime, the large chunks of
dirt, clay, sediment and sand calcified to it in odd places, it sorta
looks like it might be made out of some sorta ceramic, maybe? It stands
about four feet tall, and the general outline of it is a spiral two feet
across, sorta like a braided rope, spreading out at the bottom into a
wide base, and with some sort of wider circle at the top.
Only problem is, such professional types as this
oft-times require payin'. Convincing them to take a job this small to
begin with might end up being a bit tricky, and then you'll have to find
some means of recompense.
See
this previous post for how we obtained the artifact.
