WITCH ASTEROID

The Gradient Descent 1: Brainscanned Asher: Rusty. Scotty: Doc Marty. Nico: Dr. Abraham Lewis. Christian: Kanan "Carrion" O'Tool. The divers of the Lucy travel aboard the Paradise City towards the Alighieri Cluster. After Carrion and Marty can't find their captain, Brekt, they ask Z (the android-servant of the Paradise City) if they're able to speak with C-Level G. Mathers. Z schedules an appointment for tomorrow... DAY 10. G. Mathers explains that Brekt made a deal for his and Leer's safe passage outside the system. Brekt has effectively left the Lucy in Carrion and Marty's care. This is strange. Brekt and Leer stay within a private suite for the rest of the journey and are not seen again. G. Mathers does not elaborate. The divers gain new insights on the workings of the Deep, the station outside of it (the Bell), and the AI in control of the factory (Monarch)... DAY 11-14 Steam showers. Poker night. Open bar. AI theater... DAY 15. Troubleshooters form a ...

8: “Why don’t you come down here?” Scotty: Doc Marty. Christian: Kanan “Carrion” O’Tool. Return.jpeg Marty and Carrion venture into the darkness of the Red Tower. Flashlight scanning the space. A thick carpet of dust. Empty shells, furniture barricades, so much dried brown blood. Something awful occurred here. Still water in the bathroom. A desiccated corpse at the Enviro-Con monitor. The crew scan his badge at the terminal and it opens operational software they have no experience with. A door to the barracks has a steady rumble emanating from deep below. Marty and Carrion leave it closed. Raiding the kitchen and security rooms, looting a satisfactory amount of food/water/weaponry and stuffing it into their vaccsuits like sacks. The duo re-enters the main room of B Floor to find a bright light emanating from the cracks of the door to Enviro-Con.  Open the door. The computer has changed software: a word-processing application, with text reading: “Why don’t you come down here?” Mart...

7: Escape Plan Scotty: Doc Marty. Christian: Kanan "Carrion" O'Tool. James: Bobby "The Business" 0428. TheSurface.jpeg Approaching Brekt's junk-heap-coliseum. Entering Brekt's bunker. Capella and Beef collapse in exhaustion and rest in another room. Bobby suddenly boots back up. Brekt is smoking cigarettes with another Breaker: Kanan "Carrion" O'Tool. Marty explains the situation to both Breakers and the newly-awoken Bobby. Bobby is confused and believes Igor's "Crazy Girlfriend" and their "crazy sex" is what caused the crew to abandon ship. Everyone is in agreement: Brekt's 100-year coffin run is the best bet. All aboard the Lucifer Rising in five days! After some conversation Dean intercoms and enters the bunker. He plays both of the transmissions he's recorded the past week (the intercepted frequencies from the Dead Planet). The crew of the Aphrodite see starvation on the horizon. They juggle joining the m...
