The Blowfish - 3020.06 - #0006 - Solaris

Summary

A representative from the Majestrix of Canopus visits Selena. She offers a garrison contract for the group. Standard one year, not high pay. Izzy hires a photographer for a month to follow Selena and take pictures for a calendar. Izzy buys a dozen bikinis for Selena to wear but she refuses. Clyde enters another BattleMech center tourney and loses in the first round.

Jeff, current head tech of the Purple Panthers, comes to Izzy for advice. He has gotten information on a cache of Star League tech. The proof is in some plans for an advanced heat sink. Izzy verifies that the plans look authentic. Izzy suggests he go along along with some buds to make sure it's not a trap. The group heads off about 1 day away by mech travel. They see some badlanders in dune buggies but are not attacked. On reaching the research center, they discover that it is open. They go in and get to the control room. Wrigley proceeds to try to heck the system and locks out nine terminals. They get some station info. Then they try to access the mainframes. They discover that the station alarms have gone off and they have only 30 minutes left before the auto defenses kick in. They grab four double heat sinks. Meanwhile, Clyde was guarding outside and he was attacked by four dune buggies. He destroys three and takes trivial damage. The group keeps three and Jeff takes one.

Thomas DeLon has a job for the group. His cousin, a duke in the Draconis Combine, is having some pirate troubles. The group will join some House troops to track the bandits to their base and destroy them. High pay, high risk, they keep all salvage, integrated command. They accept. But first, an arena fight...
