Jay and Brendan are so careful in their electronic searching on the infosphere [Computer Use check of 24+2 = 26], that nobody will ever know they had an interest in the Pilgrim and got info about it...
Joining their efforts in the search [Search check of 18+2 = 20], they discover some interesting things about the ship:
- The ship was indeed refitted for a long trip in deep space, with a nanostasis tank (for the unique passenger) and energy supplies for a very long journey. Nonetheless, it appears that the Pilgrim would need dozens of years to reach the nearest star, and that it could break apart before the end of the trip. Furthermore, if you take into account that the ship would have to come back, it doesn't have enough energy supplies to reach the nearest star AND come back. Add to this that the nearest star doesn't have planets that could possibly harbor life, and you see how foolish and suicidal the journey is. However, you don't see anything wrong with the Pilgrim's maintenance and upgrade history.
- On the other hand, you learn that the Church of Scientific Revelations bought the ship from... Shemezgan & Balmers! (Unfortunately you didn't learn more about that.)
