The Black Knight

The crew needed some downtime in port on Pandora so they each indulged their vices, however Zhil and Ernie got carried away and ended up overindulging and went missing for several days. It was Kaelan and Halfnir who discovered that their "guest" Kierkess Maraign had somehow managed to escape from her locked stateroom. Now with Tex in tow, they spent some time questioning the starport staff to track her down and discovered she'd already left on a ship bound for Cordan. Zhil was eventually recovered on a farm, dragging back a huge bovine carcass for his grisly hobby.

Jumping for Arunisiir, the crew started looking for prey and came across a yacht called The Black Knight near the gas giant and with some nifty piloting from Zhil, they sneaked through the upper layer of the gas giant and docked without firing a shot. Boarding through an unlocked airlock, they came across some drunk nobles including Baron Mastavio Derokudvag, son of a Duke of Paal.

Zhil decided to join the nobles, with Chirokio performing an impromptu striptease, while the rest started ransacking the staterooms for jewelry and the like. When a crew member tried to warn the Baron they were being robbed, Zhil decided enough was enough and stunned the entire room into unconsciousness.

Marching on the bridge, the captain hurriedly raised a mayday call to Arunisiir starport, describing the ship and boarding party, then suggested that they simply take the cargo and go. Playing in zero grav Ernie, Kaelan and Halfnir managed to maneuver most of the cargo over to their ship, losing only a few containers.

Calling it a day, the Black Swan was soon bound for the downport where a friendly fence, Kess Vikatu paid them a cool 40% for their winnings...
