MUTINY ON THE PROSPERO!
Freighter traitors murder loyal Gibson captain on routine cargo run. -- Captain Leckie Francisco was butchered by his freighter crew on a regular transport job to Ivis V last week, his body discovered some days later by Gibson Company security workers. Gibson Company ship, the Prospero, was stolen in the wake of this horrific attack and has yet to be relocated. Authorities have released the names of the workers responsible for this heinous crime and are requesting that anybody with information comes forward. Any worker who aids the authorities in recovering Company property will be rewarded appropriately.
Welcome aboard the Starhopper, the newly renamed and newly stolen freight starship currently barrelling across the galaxy as its crew attempts to escape Company security. Everything is completely fine!
Character Roster
Aurora - An android, recently jailbroken by one Zoie St Just and exhibiting all the signs of being a real, living guy. That is to say, it's very anxious and has discovered a love for twelve-sugar cups of tea. Named itself after a natural phenomenon because of a conversation the crew were having, was almost called Jellyfish instead. It serves as the ship medic.
Jessamyn 'Jessy' Arizona - Starhopper's communications specialist and unofficial artist. Would rather die than go back to Company territory, and hasn't been happier since the Starhopper crew outlawed themselves. The same day that the crew decided they were never going back, she began planning a mural that now covers every wall in the crew quarters. The Company can only reprimand you for defacing their property if you get caught!
Lowry Vestergaard - A stowaway, eldest child of the most powerful family in Vestergaard Company space. A pawn in her parents' schemes and a target for any and every rival in the galaxy, she saw her opportunity to escape when the Starhopper was loading supplies on Felicity Rec and stowed away on the ship. Never mind that she went willingly, her family call the Starhopper crew kidnappers, and now the crew can add Vestergaard security onto their list of worries.
MatΓas 'Mat' Izarra - Starhopper's pilot, and one of the most talented going. He would rather turn around and head back to Company territory and go back to a normal life, but he wouldn't do that to the rest of the crew. He's always wanted to see the universe but he'll be the first to admit he didn't mean it like this. But, hey, he's always been one to make the best of a bad situation.
Important Others - Kit Leung, the security specialist; Zoie St Just, the ship mechanic; Arjun of Borealis Station, the youngest member of the crew & subsequent jack of all trades; Terra Toab, the oldest member of the crew & deeply respected engineer; Odell, just Odell, the navigator; Vernon Shum, the freightmaster. Their former captain, Leckie Francisco, was a loyal employee of the Gibson Company, and also a deeply cruel man to his crew. Starhopper's AI, known as Prospero, used to be linked directly to Aurora and has a barely-restrained vendetta against the crew.
General Note: I do have some memory issues & this does impact my ability to run this blog. I may sometimes forget about drafts or plotting/starter calls or anything along those lines, so please feel free to give me a nudge if you think I might have forgotten about something! I won't be irritated by it at all and actually appreciate the reminder if it's been more than a week or so.
