Everytime at the Table: Downlow didn't work

All three out of the last three Midnight sessions for the Wobble were supposed to be rather private affairs. Well so much for that. Apparently Peryton Publishing still has some inexplicable appeal to its members showing up whenever they want. I'm not going to complain, it's nice to be appreciated.

So with Parts 2 & 3 of "The Trial of Alejandro" we've had Peryton show up because her and then Liam, The Boy. What can I say? It happens.

So as you might've read, the trial itself was interrupted by a pirate raid. Now these pirates were lead by Taximus Bizness, not the simple intrestellar pirates that Alejandro was hanging with before. Cyclon technologies on Inasfar are well beyond Earth's (most of them at least), but the akkebarik (goat-heads) having been transdimensionally trading, both legitimately and illegitimately for about two millennia. The Business, the pirates' group brand, had more than a few advantages. The ride for Professor Viago and Alejandro had arrived.

Seeing the trouble at the capitol palaces, Dasiy Adair figured she had better get their quickly. Luckily she was on one of Athena City's elevated paths leading directly to there. After a bit of jogging, she saw The Dodo  in the impound lot about a quarter mile away. She knew that she had to get there quickly as well. So she stole police car, err a hover speeder with the City Guard, to speed up her travels.

Meanwhile back in the court, the Boy wobbled in with a Character named Willem Walsh-Wallace (something about American MAGA Republicanism, I think. He tries to be shocking with his drunken libertine uncle). W-3 was a wobbling bounty hunter and Alejandro had a warrant out for him in some other locale, which we didn't determine. Him, Viago, and the target would go about wrestling for more than a few rounds before the police care with Daisy Adair, she can drive anything, smashed onto the scene. Boy that courtroom was getting a pounding.


When the court's baliffs started shooting at everyone not wearing a judges robe, all the PCs decided to get into the hijacked police cruiser. Daisy then started making a "bee line" towards the Dodo. Some Pi-Fighters flew in to try and stop them. A couple of NPCs got killed in the backseat. All in all, the PCs back to the Wobble Boat and took off-- that is regardless of whatever Taximus Bizness and his pirates where up to.

An Inasfar patrol ship showed up when the Dodo reached orbit, preparing for it Wobble. Daisy had to make some Saves before the boat was clear.

At the sequence's end, I left the craft twirling end over end until we resumed again.

A Pi-Fighter, but with wings
