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. 

Dead large unidentifiable insect

The Brick responds to a distress beacon deep in space. they find a large dead insect like creature. I seemed to wield a large black rifle. The crew who set off this beacon are all dead. The crew of the Brick take samples and the rifle.

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.

Assault at the refinery

The group makes its attempt at taking the refinery. Most of the group heads in through the front. They are met by a bunch of armed guys. a big firefight erupts. Soon one of the large cylinders towards the rear of the room activates and becomes a huge security bot. The group prevails and makes it to the next room.

Meanwhile Thendus and Henrique work the rear of the facility trying to make it safe for the group's exit once they clear the place.

The group continues on further into the facility. They are further attacked by more men. eventually Kith makes contact with their leader. After not too long, he brokers a deal with these combatants. They soon have a cordial meeting and agree to work with the crew in securing this facility. They agree to also help them speak to the other squatters in the two other facilities the group is trying to clear. In all they make a great deal with the squatters. The crew will provide them with the necessary cyberware drugs for their services. The crew are a couple of hundred strong.

The group then is asked to investigate a strange anomaly in space. There is a ship that came out of drive space and has been fused together with a frozen dead sperm whale. Some things are just too freaky to explain.

Lennox side mission #2

Lennox invites the crew to the Devoncore outpost. He takes them for a round of golf to discuss some things. First off, he explains that he has credible intel that both Void corp and the Galactic concord are heading to the system. They should arrive in the next 3-5 years. The goal is to get as much legitimate businesses set up before they arrive which would put them in a great position financially as well as secure their future endeavors. He asks that they start expanding themselves by creating new companies and start acquiring real estate & holdings in preparation.  He also asks the crew to take out another rival of Lennox. It is a ship by the name of "Greystoke", commanded by Captain Marcus Fransor. The crew starfalls several times to get to the Greystoke. When they arrive, they expertly surprise the ship and take it out quickly. The mission is practically over before it even starts! Brad the Gold Brick and its crew are becoming a well oiled machine!
