001-1105 Aramis, Aramis Sector, Spinward Marches The crew joined the Grand Bank of Aramis Ship Supervisor for tour of the March Harrier. After a tense discussion of old times and old wounds they made it to the Ship's Lounge. A emergency report broke into their tour telling of a 5,000 ton merchant vessel the Mammoth that was disabled and falling into the Aramis gravity well. The ships launched was damaged and spiraling into the small asteroid belt that circles Aramis. The Imperial Navy asked for any vessels in the area to assist in recovery of crew and passengers that had escaped from the vessel.
With the ship in overhaul, the crew chose to take the Ship's Launch nicknamed Pogo. After takeoff they assessed the situation with the Admiral of the INV Aramis Pride. The navy vessel will attempt to divert the falling ship as the other vessels rescue the crew.
The Beowulf class Free Trader Worburten and it's Captain Roej Bannerji rescued crew floating in vacc suits while the Pogo went after the ship's launch that was spinning into the asteroid belt. Fenrir's quick piloting combined with a boost of the power plant led to them docking with the spinning launch right in the nick of time. At the same time the Vargr vessel, Fangiir, laid claim to salvage and recued an escape pod of passengers.
In the launch they found the Chief Engineer of the Mammoth, Jelika Chan, alone. She pleaded that she was off duty when the explosion happened. That she waited for others to make it to the launch and launched at the last minute damaging the launch. As the Pogo crew recovered the Mammoth crew and passengers they found many who disputed the claims of Chief Engineer Chan. It was found the launch was undamaged and fully functional. With over 23 people saved they crew moved to the Mammoth's launch and the passengers stayed on the Pogo. The crew moved to the Aramis Highport to unload.
At the same time the naval ship cut the Mammoth into smaller pieces. The wreckage did destroy a communications satellite as it entered atmosphere. Piece of the ship falling scattered across the surface of Aramis. The Vargr ship and Naval Vessel both followed pieces of the wreckage.
The crew of the Pogo received praise from the rescued passengers of the Mammoth. They met the captain of the Worburten in person. They also found that Chan disappeared aboard the Highport. It was found she was hired quickly after the current CE was deathly sick. IT is rumored her last ship also had engine problems, but not of the explosive kind.
Returning to the March Harrier, They are greeted by a worried Talh and an invitation. The Marquise Leonard Bolden-Tukera has invited the crew to the New Years Ball. A grand celebration and the biggest event of the year on Aramis. You will be honored there for your actions to save the crew and passengers of the Mammoth.

At the New Years Ball the crew interacted with a variety of Aramis personalities. Shad made a new connection with the Captain of the Tsu Urs. HE also found a message dropped from the Captain of the Warburton. Sam and Verner where invited to lunch at the Traveller's Aide Society by Captain Bannerji.
The found message.
The next day Fenrir receives a call for help from a desperate former packmate. Old friend, Gvoudzon asked them to meet him at the Aramis Museum of Imperial History. They arrive as he argues about a brooch he claims is his and is kicked out by the security. The Museum director states the brooch has been requested by the representative of the Marquis himself. He leaves heading back to his hotel with you but is waylaid by a well equipped but low skill force. The attack is the first of its kind in Aramis history, The force ends up fleeing with 4 bodies and one hostage.
When questioned one of the attackers describes their patron. Fenrir then smells the payment credits and believes it to have been CE Chan from the Mammoth.
Sam goes to the meeting at the TAS club and instead of Capt Bannerji is greeted by Eneri Giilann, Lt Commander Imperial Navy Intelligence. The Agent explains that the Captain broke docking and left system last night without permission or a flight plan. He is looking for information to aide his investigation of a smuggling ring he believes the Warburton is a part of. He explains that the smuggler ship fired on and destroyed a shuttle that stumbled upon it's lair. From his insight, Sam believes this is more than a case for the Agent.
Verne researches the Museum of Aramis going all the way back to finding construction plans. He finds
Floorplan of the entire museum.
Security installation plan with placement of motion detectors and cameras. It also shows that the security computers are only linked to the Leedor Police Force. You could need to jack into a terminal on site to effect/control system. The only other option is to hack the Police System and link from their. Hacking a Government system could land you in jail if caught. The security system controls the camera drones (they have a set patrol), motion detectors, and the timing of the vault overnight locking and unlocking.

The ceiling has a large fans/conditioning system that runs constantly. It is controlled and linked to the main security computer.
Breaking into the museum was a combination of distraction, hacking, and stealth. The group found the brooch, a black obelisk, and the crown jewels of the Marquis. They were to be on display for the anniversary of the discovery of Aramis and are now hidden in the secret box attached to the bulkhead in Verne's room. The group left the crown just taking the necklace, earrings, and bracelet.
Sam finds that the obelisk interacts with his black globe. When investigating, he nearly destabilizes a star before stopped by Duke Reman. After a tense discussion they decide to limit the investigation of the globe. Examination of the star charts it projects does show a map of the Regina star system, the Spinward Marches 60,000 years ago, and a star sector not on any star charts in the Imperium.
Loading your cargo bays and passengers the crew finally set out for Natoko.
