(temp update)

We escaped. Without a hyperdrive.

Our ship was burried.

Over many days, under Tzin's supervision, under lots of radiation, we worked to dig it out.

Shortly before we finished on our own (maybe another 1 to 2 days) a mining ship sent by some company (also by the group lawyer) showed up.

Dug out the hyperdrive, moved the gold onto the ship we escaped on. jury rigged things. (the old ship was not really worth saving under the circumstances).

Flew out of there...

Got to a planet where we could drop off the 6 soldiers we rescued. Bought 'medium' range scouting vessel. (really designed for 6 people while we currently have 7, but the lounge and cockpit have some nice seating. The minifac and lab area have been stripped. Pressed our resources to buy. Fast hyperdrive. (x0.75)

We talked about what to do next. The discussion went on for a long time... but it went in cirlces.

We contacted Hale (telepathically, as a group) with a warning that part of the council was wicked, and said we'd try to get to corellia.

Discussion is whether to go to Tion with the passports your mom sent us along with the mining help ship... (at least, we think it was your mom)

or

to go to Corellia to confront the council before everything burns down

or

To tape the council falling apart and killing eachother, publically broadcast it... to destroy the cult-of-personality that the council has around itself.

or

To do something completely different.

Ninaine (evil lady who kidnapped Aenea) is on Corellia already.

Vraile is still with us.

We also learned the council is offering symbiots to anyone who wants them in return for sterilization and government service.

(this was Tzin's devil's-advocate plan)
