Back to B5 and Back in the Thick of Things

19 August 2009-

Once the Llort ship was captured, we were able to rescue the scientists and pack up to go home. The scientists, although grateful to be rescued, were fairly close-lipped about their initial mission and their experiences before being captured, but Jeff's telepath discovered that they're working for a company called Interplanetary Expeditions (IPX), and that they had discovered an ancient excavation of an even older ship, similar to one found recently on Mars.

We gathered our stuff and the Llort ship, only to have the latter seized by a Drazi cruiser when we boosted to orbit- they claimed to need it for evidence in their accusation against the Llort for unauthorized incursions into Drazi space. After that, the trip back to B5 was uneventful.

Soon after our arrival, of course, things changed- and not for the better. It seems that there's a biotechnological monster on the loose, blasting its way through the station, and that there might be more biotech toys where it came from. Our controller sent us to gather these items, but it looks like someone else got the same idea, since there were armed thugs in the MedLab when we got there, and a firefight ensued. Once again, we were impressed by the dangerous nature of ultra-modern firearms, with Brian's Narn blasting a bad guy in a perfect Paranoia-style kill. Once we get the situation under control, we'll have to see what's left to take.
