Session 20 - Voidsmen Wreckage (Part 2)

• The pulse from last time seemed to be a freak, mini-ringstorm.
• Ringstorms occurred rather regularly out here; on a set schedule. However, sometimes, freak occurrences happened when debris and wreckage would fly through the area.

• The Away Team had to make it back to the ship before they got torn apart by the debris!
• Vela used her telekinesis to propel the cache and the Ice Pick's Away Team to the safety of the ships while the rest of the group had to make due on their own...
• Allei and Kuma counted on their agility in zero-g, Vela used telekinetic shields, and Tamit / Crow both utilized their weaponry to help them get through. Nikki was able to help by manning the LP's laser weaponry. 
• Although the experience was harrowing, the away team was able to make it safely back into the ship.

• Once safely inside, the group prepared to open the artifact cache in the cargo hold...
• Vela registered a psionic signature within the cache that reminded her of technology on her homeworld. 

• Once the cache opened...
•  The group was exposed to an airborne virus that would lead to the development of Void Sickness. They all resisted it, and the threat would later be eliminated by exposing it to the vacuum of space while also performing a thorough scrubbing later on. 
• A radbeast; a silicon based lifeform, formed a vaguely humanoid shaped and emerged with several of the silicon spiders that the crew encountered on the space station.
• The radbeast unleashed a burst of radiation, but the group was able to primarily resist the negative effects of it. 
• By combining their gun fire and attacks, the group was able to destroy the spiders and the radbeast before any serious harm could be conducted by them. 
• To destroy the regenerating radbeast, the group took its nuclear core into a lead containment and jettisoned it out into space.

• The group collected their voidsmen artifacts and ultimately parted ways from the Ice Pick after a job well done...
• 3 spare energy crystals (12 charges each)
• Tamit: Antimatter Displacer (BURROW) - This purple crystal disitnergrates matter in its path, and collapses it in its wake.
• Vela: Dimensional Shifter (TELEPORT) - This black crystal pin rotates the wearer along a dimension higher than fourth.
• Allei: Psychic Lash (PUPPET) - This black crystal circlet dominates others' minds.
• AUW: Quantum Shifter Type 2 (INVISIBILITY) - This transparent crystal pin bends light waves around the wearer.
• Remek: Quantum Shifter Type 5 (SPEED) - This thick, square crystal pin dilates time around the wearer.
• Crow: Quantum Shifter Type 1 (INTANGIBILITY) - This reddish-gray crystal pin shifts the wearer's spatial dimension.
• Nikki: Genetic Optimizer / Defuser (BOOST/LOWER TRAIT) - This pinkish-white crystal primes or decouples DNA to alter performance.
