Session 16 - The Prodigal Scientist (Part 2)

• In order to protect the scientist Horst Tappelkhirre, the group prepared a little.
• Some people purchased weapons or items that'd be easier to sneak into the event.
• Some people conducted recon; either in person or through camera systems.
• Some people conducted research; searching the deep web and other things for important information.

• The group went to the Grand Observatory for the event.
•  Depending on the party member, some people blended into the event, others attempted to mingle, and some just kept to themselves. 
• The party was able to discover that the JumpSec guards on duty were actually members of the pirate gang: Groid's Raiders. 
• Allei met a SUPER FAN of HORST'S named RYAN. Originally, his uneasy and suspicious behavior was a red flag, but it soon revealed he was no threat--aside from wanting an autograph.
• Vela attempted to warn CHANX, the other speaker at the event, about an impending attack via a psionic message. He accepted the warning, but threw in a threat against Vela if she lied.
• HORST and CHANX took the stage, but before a speech could be given...

• A fight broke out!
• The JumpSec guards, secretly pirates, fired upon HORST and CHANX. 
• NIKKI sent her drone in, and used her hacking to turn on holograms to help protect CHANX and HORST with COVER.
• AUW took the stage to protect HORST and CHANX; healing them when necessary and taking hits while attempting to defend them.
• ALLEI maintained her disguise, but attempted to disarm one of the guards.
• TAMIT likewise tried to disarm a guard.
• REMEK sent his mechanic creation, YUMI, to slice up some guards while he himself utilized his dual LAZ-SMGS.
• CROW pulled out his PARTICLE RIFLE and took fire on guards.
• VELA threw herself in head first; utilizing twin daggers and her psionic powers.
