The political summit on this ancient space station was going to decide the fate of hundreds of planets. Now you're staring at a pool of blood, and a whole lot of people are staring at you. Freelance law enforcement out in the Bleed doesn't always end in murder investigation, but this time it sure did -- and the crew of the Nero is faced with solving about as high profile a murder as you can imagine.
Expect political intrigue, heavy roleplaying and alien hijinks. . for certain very deadly definitions of "hijinks." Rules will be taught.

Barsoomcore's REFORM SCHOOL NINJA GIRLS
REFORM SCHOOL NINJA GIRLS: SUBSTITUTE TEACHER
What has become of the kindly Master Izawa, who teaches History and Ninja Traditon 305? And who is this substitute Master Tsao, and why does he hate you all so much? How are you ever going to get all this homework done when demons keep attacking your home room?
The girls must unravel the mystery, avoid getting expelled AND finish their term project! Getting good grades is harder than it seems at the Ninja Island Correctional Academy.
Characters:
Masayo: sort of the leader, if the others go along
Ritsuko: crazy gadget girl. Likes explosions.
Eri: pouty goth girl with two swords and a bad attitude.
Yumi: crazy hottie who talks to spirits.
Millicent: blonde ninja princess who walks through walls.
Ayako: cheerful and, uh, healthy.
System: not entirely clear. Maybe Leverage, maybe Panty Explosion, maybe DPoNI (Classic or Old School)
Players: 6 (which makes Leverage tricky but whatever)
Expect hackery and silliness. I will try to avoid making things too inappropriate, but I have no illusions about the likelihood of success in that regard. Prepare yourselves accordingly.
