    Mongoose Traveller Tale in the Third Imperium

    “We see two in the accommodation centre, 2 in the admin block, two out on the road stamping their feet to keep warm and we think two more moving from the accommodation to, yes, to the ATV garage.” Helena and I had already located another two, one on the reactor shed and on on the garage. I...

    Mongoose Traveller Tale in the Third Imperium

    Eric suggested that we set off in the morning. He would pack their personal possessions - it was obvious that the modules were too large to fit in the ATV with all 6 of us - and Myntelle would cook. We handed over some of our rations, which were gratefully received, and then the kids took us on...

    Mongoose Traveller Tale in the Third Imperium

    Day 2 Late on the second day on Mithral Helena was fiddling with the comms, as much to stave off boredom as anything else, when she picked something up. It is a standard distress signal which merely contained a location and a request for assistance. It could be any one of the missing people. I...

    Mongoose Traveller Tale in the Third Imperium

    Mithral 167-1080 Week 1 We set off with an empty cargo bay, which, immersed in broker lore as I am, was a little disquieting - space equals loss of profits - haha! Still, we are going to jump to Datrillian and try and pick up some speculative trade there. We can refuel via skimming and will...

    Mongoose Traveller Tale in the Third Imperium

    Returning to Flammarion 102 - 1080 Week 1 I was anxious all through the jump to Bowman. I did the astrogation for the jump and primed the J-drive. Peter oversaw the astrogation but just assumed I knew what I was doing with the drive. I must have done okay as we made it in one piece. Bowman is...

    Mongoose Traveller Tale in the Third Imperium

    Day 7 If any of us thought that it was all over we had a rude awakening the next morning. I mean that literally. Shouts coming from a nearby room pulled me reluctantly into wakefulness and I took a long moment to remember where I was and what was going on. I had fallen asleep in my clothes and...

    Mongoose Traveller Tale in the Third Imperium

    Day 6 We were woken in the early hours of the morning by the sensor alert! The pinging was accompanied by a projection of super hot gases and magma filling the lava tubes just below the the surface of the crater. As everyone congregated on the bridge the computer answered my questions with...

    Mongoose Traveller Tale in the Third Imperium

    Day 3 We stayed another night on Walston - at the Fish’s Legs - and jumped on a train to Salbarii. We managed to make a good start, I think they re-arranged the train to run to Salbarii first. From there it is a good twenty kilometres to the mountain, but Greener had called ahead so a car was...

    Mongoose Traveller Tale in the Third Imperium

    On Walston 096-1080 Day 1 It’s raining. The downport is typical of places like Walston: a fusion-stone landing area which could accommodate maybe a 600 ton vessel, a warehouse for goods and a few buildings for customs and security. The Autumn Gold is only staying long enough to refuel - its...

    Mongoose Traveller Tale in the Third Imperium

    Setting of for Flammarion 066-1080 The Baron used some influence to get us on board an X-boat and we will be in Flammarion in a week. It was incredibly tough saying goodbye to Noreena. I have a feeling we will see her again. Week 1 That was the most uncomfortable week, and that’s saying...

    Mongoose Traveller Tale in the Third Imperium

    013-1080 Caladbolg Week 1 We arrived and were immediately detained. They took us to a starport facility and were informed we were being held under suspicion of kidnapping a member of the Imperial Nobility. We scarcely had time to share horrified glances when the sweating officer in charge...

    Mongoose Traveller Tale in the Third Imperium

    At Audamu village Week 1 We spent the week getting to know the villagers and resting. We hadn’t really understood how much weight we were losing, apart from Noreena who has gained mass in the 7 weeks of travelling. So we are calling her “Fat-Nor” (at her own instigation). Lucy is much improved...

    Mongoose Traveller Tale in the Third Imperium

    The story starts out a simple diary and gets more detailed as I found myself taking more notes... Stranded Start date: 180-1079 Day 1 Due to a miss-jump we ended up having to do an emergency landing on Gunn in an escape pod. Landed on the glacier on the East of the Island. Met up with...
