Babylon 5: Outrageous Fortune

[Shayuri]

Ashley sets up a series of search parameters for the data. "Shadows." "Oxygen." "Tal." "Drazi." "Tryce."

After a moment's thought, she throws in the names of the Outrageous Fortune and her crew too...just to see if there was anything in the VoidCorp files about them.

Kirth is duly impressed and astounded by Ashley's insight. "Uhhh, you might want to limit that search for records of me to the time since I joined the group. I can't have you learning all of my dirty little secrets now!"

 

[Dr Simon]

The search turns up quite a few results, which take the better part of an hour to sift through. In the end, many are of no consequence, "tal" for example turning up lots of partial entries for "toTAL" and so forth. A few stand out, combing multiple references.

One is a communication from Bernhard Wrexler, head of R&D, to William Lomax, VoidCorp represenmtative to Tribon, expressing concerns that the "technology from our alien friends" is more advanced than Tal'Kona-Sha technology and closer to that of the Shadows. Wrexler states that he feels uneasy working with it.

Another is from Lomax to an unknown addressee, stating that "Tryce feels certain we can combine a test run with cornering the oxygen market." This gives a further breakdown concerning stockpiling oxygen in preparation for a shortage in Tribon. Increased profit is secondary to increased influence on Lison, with the subsequent increased share of the Q-40 market.

The search includes another message which seems to be part of the same communication, mentioning that there are elements within the Drazi government (unnamed) who have shown an interest in this action. Lomax advises his unknown contact to keep an eye on them for now, without committing to anything.

"From Lomax to an unknown recipient, huh? Seems like we should be able to track that transmission down better than that! I mean, after all it went somewhere." Kirth shoulders his way in front of the terminal and give it a go, and starts typing furiously. "There! Now let's just see what that brings up!"

[Dr Simon]

Although the recipient is unnamed in the transmissions, Kirth as able to trace the destination - the Babylon 5 station.

"Babylon 5 Station, eh? Does that transmission seem odd to anyone but me? I mean what is the connection between VoidCorp and Babylon 5?"

 

[Dr Simon]

OOC: An appropriate Knowledge check would give you more information, although common knowledge would be that VoidCorp are a multistellar corporation - it wouldn't be improbable for them to have a presence on B5 in order to easily converse with alien markets.

 

[Shayuri]

"All roads lead to Babylon Five," Ashley mutters. "I think our next lead is Drexler. He was getting cold feet. Maybe we can get him to crack and give us more to work with. That 'our alien friends' comment might even mean he knows where the tech is coming from."

She grimaced. "Head of R&D though...he might be tricky to get through to. Maybe we should meet back up with Sakura and see if she can pull any strings."

OOC: Kirth is an 'action guy,' not an egghead. He actually has ZERO knowledge skills.

OOC: I think I'm done with Croft guys. I'm not really having any fun with him, and that's the point of a game after all. So before you get too deep into anything else I'm going to bow out. Later folks
