The Last Parsec: Session 12 - Invisible Designs (Part 2)

Zadra revealed that he had twelve containers marked fragile; their contents unknown.
Zadra did not know who his employer was; hired through a third party to take care of the task. He assumed that the party's fake superior within JumpCorp was his point of contact due to never experiencing an inspection like this before.
Zadra had no ulterior motive; he just wants to get paid for a job.
Zadra's orders are to break the containers in the docking bay to unleash whatever is inside onto the station. He has been assured that this won't be a threat to him.

AUW got into position with Nikki's drone outside the doors in case of a showdown.
Tamit attempted to give a customer survey to the Serran first-mate of Zadra. He didn't appear to be particularly pleased.
Crow revealed that Zadra was wanted in some small subsectors for piracy; but he did not have an intergalatic bounty on him which allowed him to continue his day-to-day operations. Zadra did not shit where he ate, so to speak.
The others merely bide their time.

Zadra opened the Crolnec's Cargo Hold and his remaining pirates began to unload the containers.

Nikki remotely disable Zadra's detonator for the cargo.
Allei maintained the guise of helping Zadra with his plan as a corrupted JumpCorp employee while Crow lead the charge with the others; posing as bounty hunters after Zadra.
The Last Parsec crew killed about half of the pirates and managed to knock the others (including Zadra) unconscious. Throughout the firefight exchange, the group learned that the barrels contained some sort of spider creatures made from silicone; their webbing capable of breaking down and destroying matter.
The group managed to contain the situation; preventing the spiders from escaping. The two exposed containers were destroyed for safety purposes.
After the fact, Allei attempted to alter the crime scene to be sure that Zadra would buy her story later that the cargo was safely released and/or escaped with.

The Naval Base had three platoons (each with 40 JumpCorp soldiers), a battleship, two light cruisers, and twelve fighter ships.
At BAY 86-G, a crew of men were waiting to unload the cargo containers delivered by the group.
Maruul Soteeg, a female kalian mid-level executive in JumpCorp, revealed to be Wacha's client who was interested in rooting out any internal affairs issues within the company.
She wants to use the cargo acquired to find out who it linked to, who was behind the threat, and neutralize them.
The group seems to leave on agreeable terms with her; Maruul willing to leverage the group again for tasks.

Mere seconds after you have pushed yourself into the pedestrian crush of the Public Walk, screams of shock and dismay ring out among the crowds. Everyone turns around toward the huge viewports that frame a magnificent view of Eris and her rings.
In the distant gas giant's upper atmosphere, you see orange blooms of falme erupting from a ship. Explosion after explosion rips through the hull, and it sheds clouds of debris as it disappears into Eris' pearly clouds. As the initial shock begins to die down... in Harmonia Station, it is silent as the vacuum of space.
