Character Actions

Colony

• Dark: Mentioned on the House Advantage page: Paranoid about security and not trusting human guards, the Venafi Emperor commissioned automated defence platforms on the three moons of Hrobaj. It's not clear whether they were ever brought online, and certainly they were never designed to operate for more than a hundred years or so. But there might be something there to salvage. Given the statue-skyscraper thing seems to be an ancient defense system of some sort, Dark checks out the moons of Hrobaj. He finds the most intact-looking one and drops by in person with New Drones for security, looking for controls or at least information on the Hrobaj defense systems, especially regarding the Death Statue.
• Jude: Move zig. For great justice. I'm guessing that Jude will probably want to fly in for a closer look to try to see how the statue works.
• Rick: Rick tries to communicate with the Death Statue. Somehow.
• Kyil:
• Tesher: This clearly must be related somehow to the ancient war machine that someone was working on at the end of the last story or something! So Tesher figures out how, and what significance that connection will have on our current on-going plot threads.
• Seve: with an entourage currently consisting of vice-emperor candidate Rexx, camera crew The Arabian Knights, and military squad The Foreign Legion (currently being trained as a backup polo team), Seve gets in touch with the MQaiaan leaders, especially anyone he may have vague memories of from that party. He offers publicity and support in their dispute with Gwyne (maybe including military action next turn, what the hell, it'll be good Tri-V), and also tries to recruit some tough and sexy freedom fighters for GALAXY UNITED.

Imperial Core

• Reig:
• Silentus:
• (NPC) Basinbloke: PARTYTIME!

Here are his goals: 1.) To enjoy the party. This is Basinbloke, after all. And he takes his wine tasting seriously. 2.) To improve the Influence of the colonies. 3.) Given many Houses in one convienent location, to be able to simultaneously feel out all of them and figure out a.) which are supporting the bill from Turn 20 b.) which will support given the appropriate rider and c.) which will Just Say No. 4.) Given those inclined to parties would have been at the Space Baby Party, inquire about if anyone has further info along the lines of: Did anyone else recognize Frost? Did anyone else have a baby encounter?
