The lure of alien tech proving too strong for Cinque, the four decide to attempt another foray. All goes mostly to plan as they explore module upon module.
Until they encounter a deadly automation left to guard the vessel. Caught unawares, they initially take heavy blows. Conrad holds it off in an exchange of gunfire until they mange to trap it in a corridor between two security hatches. At this point, discretion proves the better part of valour and they withdraw until the Wei-Wei arrives.
They negotiate the assistance of a security team to finish clearing the ship. Once Wei-Wei’s stardrive has recharged and the Scournge vessel is secured in a radiation-hardened ore hold, they starfall to Aegis. Mayhem puts the others up in a hotel on Hughes Island while he makes arrangements to sell the salvaged craft.
