Operation Pax Dust

Operation Pax Dust

When we originally explored the derelict ship, The Persephone, there were two vectors of investigation. One was the two cryobodies that we took with us and has caused us some amount of drama. The other was the grisly organ harvesting operation that was being staged on the ship. I still have nightmares. My cousin Moira, a doctor assigned to the Independent 12th Air Cavalry spent several weeks investigating possible leads. She found an unregistered organ transplant operation in Zenobia and moved her investigation to there.

Independent 12th Air Cavalry had an operative on Zenobia by the code handle of "Broken Arrow". Broken Arrow sent a file and a report to Admiral Leitner, but as of the time that the 12th bugged out, nothing had been done. Broken Arrow had intel that the lab was going to be broken down and relocated, so we had to act fast.

Darth Gallagher was chilling with Gabe, Emma and I at the hemlock. Watching toon, usual stuff.

Gallagher's sources were able to authenticate the info in the file from Broken Arrow. He briefed us and showed us the aeriel photos.

We were late I suppose, a lot had already been dismantled and we met with no resistance. A sentinel drone guarded the main entrance to the warehouse, but it was not a lot of trouble.

We checked out the warehouse, then a genetics lab and a cryogenics lab.

Searching thru the warehouse and labs, we found very little of real interest, mostly just got a feel for what they were doing. Gabe, Emma and Gallagher each found some scraps of notes. We were late, but they hadn't cleaned up enough yet.

As Gallagher and his Dharma sources suspected, a weaponized version of the Pax. Planning to experiment on Shadow. Our tax dollars hard at work keeping us safe.

We thought the mission was over, then we found the tank field. Storage tanks, dozens of them, scores.

We gathered samples and set charges and sealed our vacc suits.

Making sure the site was cleaned, we took off for Hale's...
