Kaori and Naryn were meeting with High Priestess Sung, when Commodore Kim arrived. Their meeting was suddenly ended for some urgent business they had. Kaori was able to overhear some of the conversation. Seems there was some concern about a Mystery Ship and finding
Admiral Mercs missing scout ship and crew.
Kaori requested Taryn to do some research on the info they were able to hear. What Taryn was able to find out was very concerning.
A few days later High Priestess Sung told Kaori and Taryn to pack their bags and prepare for a long trip. She also told them to forget they came from Cyhnon. They will need a cover story. Also, she told them they will need to find a shuttle pilot that would not be easily traced back to here.
While visiting the Old Town area they meet one named Virginia Dare. A Short while passed when High Priestess Sung hired Virginia to be their shuttle pilot.
Soon they were off to board the POSS Magellan. Miss Dare took to flying the shuttle with relative ease.
The shuttle matches speed with the Magellan then maneuvers to begin the approach. Thirty minutes later they are aboard the Magellan.
The Three are now a team but what is this sudden trip for? They were only told to pack their bags, come up with an alternate background story because where they are going it will be important to not say anything about the Cyhnon Federation,
Kaori and Taryn had been quietly speculating what this was all about. So far, they only knew what they overheard. The speculation and what they read about this Captain Kwan was weighing on their minds.
They found their quarters quickly then went to the crews dining area. Here they began to chat about where each of them is from and developed a background story they all could use.
After the Magellan entered into hyperspace they began to relax. About one hour into the trip they were notified about the mission orders from Commodore Kim should arrive as soon as they exit hyperspace near the edge of Cyhnon Federation space near the Crimsen Empire territory.
The trio that just been thrown into an intergalactic conflict waits for their mission orders. They take some time enjoying the bridge and chat with some of the crew.
While waiting for the mission orders Miss Dare takes in some training. Learning about the Magellan and shuttle landing procedures for various conditions. It was recommended by Captain Maggie for Miss Dare to be prepared to land the shuttle in a wintery environment. The reason Captain Maggie would know this was a mystery.
The Mission orders arrive just as the Magellan exits hyperspace. Over the ships comms a whistle is heard as Captain Maggie arrives on the Bridge. She motions for Kaori to come to her ready room to review the mission orders. The orders indicate they will be going to Harvest Spaceport. Here they are to collect info related to the mystery ship and where abouts of Admiral Mercs scout ship and crew.
Kaori meets with Taryn to prepare for the mission. They go over their cover story and a basic plan on how they will attempt collect info with being obvious
The Mystery Ship
Where is Admiral Merc’s Scout Ship and crew (Part One)
The Mystery Ship
Where is Admiral Merc’s Scout Ship and crew (Part Two)
Miss Dare warms up the shuttle engines and makes preparation to take Kaori and Taryn to Harvest Spaceport. Kaori and Taryn aboard the shuttle and quickly find seats. While waiting to leave the safe confines of the Magellan, they go over their cover story.
The shuttle lifts off without incident. All is going smoothly as they begin to approach Harvest Spaceport. The shuttle
abruptly stops and goes quiet. A gasp is heard from the Cockpit of the Shuttle.

***************************
The shuttle continues on its journey to the Harvest Spaceport and lands safely. The weather is moderate snow with gusts up to 35 miles an hour. Making the landing a challenge but handled like a veteran shuttle pilot. Miss Dare has flown shuttles in much worse weather, so this did not phase her much.
The trio leave the shuttle and explore the spaceport until they find the bar, where they are supposed to find the captain of the mystery ship that Commodore Kim had been tracking. The ship had not been identified but it had been tracked enough to know it has been frequenting the area around Harvest Spaceport. Intel indicated the bar is a prime spot where if the mystery ship is Captain Kahn’s she would likely be visiting the bar at the spaceport.
Kaori and Taryn enter the Bar taking seats near the bar as Miss dare slides into one of the empty booths. Kaori and Taryn we a bit confused when they hear a rough looking woman sitting at the bar just chugging down one drink after another.
Kaori quickly realizes she is in some kind of distress, something about losing one of her drone ships and complaining about Admiral Merc.
Since she has been drinking so heavily her thoughts are broadcasting openly . Kaori takes some time to make since of what she reading.
Kaori gets a bit closer to the woman, trying to determine who she is and to understand what she is talking about. A little while and she has identified the woman to be Captain Kahn. That is Kwan-Jieun Kahn, the alleged destroyer of shipyard where Admiral Mercs new flagship was being built. The destruction of the shipyard took out many new ships that Admiral was eager to add to her fleet.
After Captain Kahn passes out, she is retrieved by a couple of her crew.
The trio Miss Dare, Kaori and Taryn aboard the shuttle and return to the POSS Magellan. Now they will wait for Commodore Kim to meet with them to go over what they learned.
