Logs
Month 1 Day 1

Captain Karegron, Wranploer, New Wranploer Legion representative reporting for duty. That's how we're supposed to present ourselves. Annoys me greatly, really. I have to keep saying "Wranploer" over and over all day. I'm a Wranploer and I love that but still. Anyway, me and my crew were tasked to get some special cargo from this planet so we could take it back to the hideout. I was not told what the goods were but the commander who ordered the whole thing described it as being "invaluable materials" and that we should not open the containers "if we value our hides". Sounds like what your usual Wranploer commander would say, really. But I'm gonna follow orders and take these bad boys to their destination, so I can get myself some easy-earned cash.

These containers are not even big. Sure, there's a hell of a lot of them and they all stink like Varkorus butt but a single Levarcor thug can carry like 10 of them by stacking them on top of each other. Considering how the commander described the cargo, I'm guessing this is some sort of hyper rare metal or rock or gemstone or whatever. I'm no geologist but I know shiny equals profit, and while I can't see what the cargo looks like, you can't blame a greedy Wranploer commander from wanting to get all the shiny gems for himself. Imagine how a rare metal would sell on the black market? And imagine being the only one who knows about it? Maybe after this mission is done, I can go back to the planet and take a look and make a little "investigation" if you know what I mean. But for now, I'm just gonna go to the nearest Cold Relay and get to the destination.

Month 1 Day 2

I got contacted by the same commander today. He said I shouldn't go to the destination yet and that I should stay on my current location until he contacts me again. I'm guessing someone found out about the cargo and are questioning him. What a loser, really. If you're gonna try to make a hidden profit, you should make preparations so no one can find out, and if they do, you should make preparations for that too. I tried to make him talk about what the cargo is but he ignored me completely. I'm really curious about it still. It's all put together on the cargo bay, just waiting for someone to go over there and open it.

I'm sending some personnel to take care of the smell. I don't care how valuable it is, I'm not letting the stench spread. And I don't want anyone whining about it, we got suits and masks for that. Man up and go down there, and make the place smell like a proper spaceship. Just because we're pirates doesn't mean we have poor hygiene.

Month 1 Day 5

We've not heard of the commander yet. This would be really boring if we didn't have our own games in here. And drinks. And the "men's club". Galotians are kind of cute, I gotta say, but more in a small child way. No alien's more beautiful than a Wranploer. This reminds me I've not called my mate in a while. Last time we talked, he had been relocated to another sector. I'm getting some heavy nostalgia now from when we met. I should probably stop thinking about it and get myself a beer.

Also they finally did a good job and got rid of the stench. See, it wasn't so hard, was it?

Month 1 Day 8

By the General, there's nothing to do here. I'm getting seriously bored. Where the hell is the commander? If this goes on, I'm gonna say "screw it" and just take the cargo for myself.

Month 1 Day 9

Alright, I don't know who did it, but someone opened one of the containers. I tried to check the internal camera system of the cargo bay but for some reason, apparently the cameras exploded before the container was opened. I ordered the entire crew to present themselves and questioned everyone, but the culprit refuses to reveal themselves. Whoever you are, I'm not gonna letting you get away with it...Oh, of course! The lie detector! I'm gonna try that tomorrow.

While I was at it, I peeked into the container. You know, to see what was inside. And it was completely empty. As in, as if there was nothing never there. That empty. Not even a trace of whatever the cargo was. But one thing stayed, and it was the stench. Hell, clean that up right now, my eyes are burning.

Month 1 Day 10

I used the lie detector. I questioned every single man, woman and thing on this ship. Everyone said they did not steal from the cargo bay. And the lie detector claims they are all saying the truth. How? This piece of crap must be broken. And to make things worse, something wonky is happening to the engines. I've ordered the mechanics and the engineers to take care of it so we can travel back home. Fuck the commander, I'm out of here.

Month 1 Day 11

The teams sent to fix the engines disappeared. And the engines not only broke more, I think I heard an explosion. Whelp, we're trapped here. Can't do anything but send a distreess signal, and hope the Niaka Special Forces doesn't pick it up.

Month 1 Day 12

I check my sensors again and turns out the distress signal isn't working. Fuck. What's happening to my ship?

Month 1 Day 15

Bored. Nothing to do. Tried sending droids to fix the engines and the sensors but they all stopped responding after a while. I'm completely in the dark here.

Month 1 Day 16

Tried using the escape pods. They were all damaged. What? Who did this? Is this some kind of joke? Whoever is doing it, I'm gonna make you drink Zí-Jittorám acid as punishment.

Month 1 Day 20

Stop making that clicking noise, damnit. I don't know who's doing it but I know it's one of you, and it's not letting me sleep properly.

Month 1 Day 21

I said STOP making that CLICKING NOISE.

Month 1 Day 25

More men disappeared, except this time, the carbo bay shut itself completely. I'm guessing they locked themselves inside. Not sure what they're gonna do down there. The "invaluable" cargo remained untouched ever since someone opened the first container and since then, the stench took over the cargo bay again. You can keep yourselves trapped, suffocate and die of starvation all you want for all I care. I just want to go back home now.

Month 1 Day 30

One month as passed. No rescue party. Someone tried to take an escape pod when no one was looking and it exploded. Serves the bastard right.

Month 2 Day 7

I keep hearing laugher and mumbling down at the crew decks...I think they're plotting against me. They keep whining how we're trapped, I bet they're planning something. I'm gonna trap myself on my room for now. I got enough food and drinks for myself.

Month 2 Day 13

They keep screaming down there. What's going on? They must be killing each other. Claustrophobia or whatever. I'm not leaving my room.

Month 2 Day 19

I'm so bored.

Month 2 Day 23

The clicking noise won't stop.

Month 2 Day 23

Month 3 Day 3

Nothing but silence down at the crew deck.

Month 3 Day 4

I tried to leave my room today. The entire crew has disappeared. And the entire ship stinks like putrid dead Zoles. I'm going back to my room.
