RMS AZ5: Haze & Sol Secure the Station

Mission Report

Wednesday, February 17, 2027 ((2024-02-03))
Team: Haze (Aslene), Sol (greetingstraveleriambutabee)

Haze and Sol were ordered to inspect the small space station of AstraZenith 5. We flew up in a shuttle. In the docking bay we found Gar Velen, an ancient emissary of the Defiant Mother. Gar was trying to stop some messenger spirits from killing themselves or being corrupted by a vengeance spirit. Gar asked us “box them about the ears.” We found the spirits and defeated them all. Gar purged the corruption in the messenger spirits and also collected the traces of the vengeance spirit. We updated the station’s software and returned to New Liberty.
