Dark Side of the Moon - The Moon
RECAP: (Since I've been neglecting to post regularly...)
THE QANTARIATE:
You landed on Kraatar after finding a strange extra-dimensional orb and barely escaping an attack from them. Known as the Qantariate, they appear as blackish amorphous creatures who cannot be perceived in our visual spectrum, although a strange creature that looks like intestines appeared when the orb was submerged. They are teaming up with the Sathar to mount an assault upon the Frontier Sector. A group of the Qantariate known as the Synths oppose the takeover but have difficulty communicating because they are from another dimension. The orb itself, after analysis, appears to be a beacon. The Qantariate appear in this universe and communicate using the Matrix Hole Between Worlds, which the beacon helps to open. You have very little additional information except that they invasion is set to begin within the next 60 days.
The Synths formed a rebellion group known as the Shadows of Rakon. A message was sent to them through the orb and LeGrange's genius was supposed to help in solving the Qantariate problem, but he was killed as you exited quarantine.
After a message was sent to the Shadow Rakon and before testing could be completed, a human female named Teliko and her reptile companion Syzzyx attacked and stole the Sphere with the help of their android colleague. They broke in claiming to be a delegation from the UPF sent to investigate the sphere. Teliko killed Dr. Matsuhara. An extradimensional creature exited the Blackness and killed Dr. Nuna as well. A Sathar also appeared, and the party saw them escape through a strange portal. They took the Sphere with them. However, the party killed Teliko and her companions.
UPF Consulate Grandin Spief met you, and told you to continue to investigate the assassination, and to see if any of it is related to the Qantariate, then to report back to him. Also, report to him any Sathar involvement. He thinks there is a connection between it all, but so far, the UPF doesn't believe him. He wants you to keep him informed and collect evidence. He gave you his contact information and told you to digitally record any evidence important to these matters as evidence for the UPF.
LEGRANGE AND THE KRAATAR PLOTS AND UNREST
The assassination of LeGrange led you to work with the Vrusk security on Kraatar (including the head of starport security named Zzik'Ti). Kraatar is subject to rioting and violence based on racial disputes between the Vrusk and humans. KLC operatives have engaged in terrorist attacks. You saved a Vrusk named REZZ as she was being attacked on the streets. She is an unemployed pilot who used to run missions to the two moons of Kraatar and back, but KLC attacks destroyed the colony where she would do her piloting runs.
On the train to Quazzt's Depression to LeGrange's funeral, you discovered a Vrusk who had been staying at a nearby sanitarium for depression and had received an implant in his head. It exploded on the train and killed him. The train was then attacked by KLC operatives, and you barely saved it from total destruction. The funeral was strangely held in secret before you got there, and you suspected a cover up of some sort.
You headed to the sanitarium, where you discovered a KLC operation that involved interrogating and trying to control Vrusk. You took down the KLC operatives and rescued REZZ, who had been taken there and interrogated. She is hurt, but you saved her and downloaded data to prove the plot to Zzik'Ti and perhaps some to help UPF Consulate Spief.
You then found a secret tunnel under the Sanitarium which led to a crater landing pad with a shuttle. You fought off a robot but the mechanic woman you were chasing disappeared somewhere.
You all enter the ship and start some stimpaks and healing...
(At this point, please assume you found stimpaks and a healing center on the shuttle so that you are all back to normal stamina levels.)
After some healing and looking around the ship, you discover the following facts:
1) The woman is nowhere on board
2) The shuttle is an improved version of a standard shuttle and is capable of interplanetary flight, holding up to 10 passengers. There are two sets of magnetic boots and uniforms with matching hoods and visors.
3) In the flight computer are two sets of coordinates and a diagram. (Environmentalist skill check required to figure them out.) (A computer check may also reveal further in the computer.)
4) Unfortunately, the shuttle is inoperative currently. Part of its electronics system has been removed for repair. If you track it down, REZZ can reinstall it and get the shuttle running again.
While doing all this, you suddenly see the mechanic woman appear as if directly from the stone wall of the crater, and you realize there must be another of those holographic camouflage covers over some sort of door or entrance.
She points and yells, "They're in there." She points to the shuttle, and three heavily armed KLC appear behind her from the wall.
