Well hello!

The crew of the Brick makes contact with an interesting android at their next space station visit. His name is Higgins 307Db. He never bothered to get his final outer coating so he just looks like a bunch of wires and such. He joins the ranks of the Gold brick and proves to be quite adept with ranged weapons. He eventually gets a clear coating installed (think 90's mac). He also just inadvertently got himself a side kick by the name of Amy. She is 6... She will need juice boxes and a small laser pistol at some point, but for now she has a place in Higgins' backpack. 

Pyramid Starship

After several encounters with the most disgusting looking creatures (the "Klick"), the crew barely makes it out of the pyramid alive before it takes off into the sky. They gain a lot of black laser weapon technology from the Klick, but need to retreat and lick their wounds.

Do androids really dream of electric sheep?

 The Brick comes out of the worm hole into a familiar star system. They head to a planet with the least government/ security presence for repairs and modifications. They have the new weapons systems installed on the Brick as well as access hatches installed for the new found fighters they acquired. At the shipyard they meet a peculiar individual. He is an android who goes by the name of "Higgins 307DB". They get along great and invite him to join the crew of the Gold Brick. 

After the modifications have been completed, they head back out into space only to find themselves headed for another worm hole. When they get through it, they find a habitable planet and head down to check it out. They find a group of humans being held captive by those strange bug like creatures (Klick). As they approach, Boomer sends off a warning shot towards the "Klick" and they then turn and immediately shoot down all of the humans. At this point, the hero's send down a fighter and blast the klick to dust.

When they investigate the scene, they find that buried underneath the sand is a massive pyramid. They use the slinky apparatus from the ship as a way to burrow down into the sand to find an entrance.

Energy free? Hey that's for me!

After finding a ghost ship (literally) the crew finds some type of ancient artifact. It looks quite similar to an Ankh. A worm hole appears and the crew of the Brick decide to check it out. They come to a distant star system that is not recognized by any of the star maps. They eventually make there way down to a habitable planet and the artifact guides them to a small concrete like structure. Inside there are massive amounts of hieroglyphs. At the end of it all is a place for the Ankh to be inserted. They speak with an intelligence of great wonder. It explains that energy is everything and after some time agrees to give "humanity" another chance at wielding this pure perfect power.  They are also given a new type of weapon (black energy). The details are vague, but the entity hints that "humanity" fails the test every time it given a chance to weild this infinite power source. The crew of the Brick leaves this strange system with more questions then when they cam. A worm hole appears again and takes them back to the familiar system where they originally found the ghost ship.

Mission for Piete Donvon - ores & metals trader

Kyth Kah-Thal's contact for precious metals, Piete Donvon contacted him about a mission to find out what happened to one of his exploratory vessels, "The Lumbard 6". The ship had previously recorded a high concentration of precious metals on an asteroid deep in the verge. Soon after the core samples were analyzed and the data sent back to Piete, the ship lost contact.
Brad the gold brick and its crew head to the last known location of the asteroid. They find the ship still landed on the rock. Once inside, they are attacked by possessed crew members with glazed over eyes wielding swords made of diamonds.  They take out the crew of crazy's. Kyth Kah-Thal makes contact with something that only could be described as a diamond elemental. They talk for awhile telepathically and become friends. The creatures name is Lazerus. He agrees to let the group take the ship and a large shipment of precious metals and diamonds. He manifests a piece of himself into a fine diamond powder that shoots up the nose of one of the heads of the dead crew. The group lops off the head and puts it in glass box. This is the way that Lazerus can remain in contact with the group. The head will need to be replaced monthly though due to decay.
After getting back to the Spider hole system the group hacks this new ship they were awarded and gets it registered to them. They also unload a shit ton of metals and diamonds and bank 15 million for the group. They get to work on stripping down this new ship to prepare it as a gunship.
They also do a side mission to kidnap and torture a man by the name of Marcus Selver. They bring him aboard the "Brick" and hand him over to Doctor Heimlich. Dr. Heimlich sets up a "torture cam" for the client to watch at his leisure.

Revenge On The Brad and Co.

The party is informed that the main mining facility in Basking on planet Venon is missing all of its employees.  All of the miners have failed to report to work.  So, the group begins an investigation and learns that many of the family members of the miners have been kidnapped!  The 3rd Eye mercenary company has been hired by the mad scientist Dr. Bertinelli to kidnap and muscle the miners into quitting their duties.
The party also learns from scrapping together details and interrogating 3rd Eye members that the victims are being held on SK-21847-b, Bertinelli's asteroid science facility.
The party returns to the asteroid and bravely fights their way through armed gang members, Mutant experiments, and laser turrets within the underground facility.  At the climax of the battle, they find the kidnapped family members tied together to an IED and their blood being fed into some sort of a space vampire.  However, the party dispatches of the enemy without a single family member from being hurt in the process.
Dr. Himleich discovers a treasure trove of data concerning the creation process for making Mutants, space ghouls, and space vampires.  Dr. Bertinelli will most likely think twice about crossing the Brad Crew again.
All of the miners, secure and thankful to the crew, return to work.  Production is back to normal in the edges of the milky way, for now.
