Session 14 - (Death) Wish Upon a Star

• During the week in which the party rested, Wacha provided them with a job...
• The crew was to provide security for a famous holoplay actor: Fayt Laanar. 
• Holoplays are a popular and enduring medium in the Eris subsector. Far beyond mere 3-D, the audience is literally surrounded by the story, sometimes becoming participants in a limited fashion. 
• The Harmonia Holo Playhouse, the station's swankiest, is located on the Public Walk. Laanar's newest holoplay, The Lord Of All Space, is premiering tonight. In this holoplay, Fayt Laanar is portraying Emperor Decaton. He is a tragic figure who attempted to unite several gaalctic sectors, but suffers a humilating fall from grace and dies in impoverished solitude. 
• The film's detractors cite a laundry list of similarities between Emperor Decaton and Lord Betagron (a yeti warlod whose bloody conquests killed millions before his defeat). Put simply, they don't take kindly to a sympathetic depiction of Lord Betagron's deeds.

• The group arrived at the holoplay house with hours to spare; Fayt arriving to greet his fans and prepare for the premiere...
• Besides his die hard fans, there was also numerous protesters.
• The group discovered that, hidden among the fans, was an assassin meant to kill Fayt.
• Through their direction intervention, they were able to prevent Fayt from being killed and apprehended the would-be assassin (later turning him over to JumpCorp).
• Fayt and the group made acquaintances with each other; learning that Wacha had sent them to protect Fayt during the premiere. 

• In the hours before the premiere, each member of the group faced challenges...
• Remek thwarted a group of protesters from confronting Fayt.
• Allei did a tactical sweep of the building and blocked off several easy points of access as well as prime areas in which an attacker might go after Fayt.
• Nikki was able to save the premiere by taking down some remote hackers who were looking to cause mischief. 
• AUW managed to save Fayt after the actor had consumed a poisoned drink.
• Tamit, during some of the early preparations, stopped a would-be assassin from using the lights and other trappings to kill Fayt.
• During the showing itself, Crow and Vela took out a last-minute direct assassin against Fayt.

• The group managed to enjoy the showing of the premiere thanks to their efforts, as well as keep Fayt safe.
• The premiere was well received; the movie would perform well in the coming weeks and provide Harmonia Station with some much needed entertainment after the recent JumpCorp ship explosion.
• The group would accompany Fayt to several after-parties; able to enjoy themselves for a job well done.
• Fayt took a shine to the group; it seems he wants to contract them or utilize them for their feedback in future HoloPlays. 

• REWARDS...
• The group gained Fayt as a contact.
• The group each received $1,750. (This is after the party fund chunk was taken out of the original payment of $2,000.)
