Collins Does Solo RPG 'The Wretched'
Mission Day 238.
Mission Day 238, Independent trade ship Errant Venture, Captain Terrick reporting.
Our comms officer caught a mayday call this afternoon. It came through pretty clear thankfully. It goes as follows.
MAYDAY MAYDAY MAYDAY, This is salvage ship ‘The Wretched’.
MAYDAY MAYDAY MAYDAY, This is salvage ship ‘The Wretched’.
MAYDAY MAYDAY MAYDAY, This is salvage ship ‘The Wretched’.
Class 4 starship recovery vessel with no drive power. Significant damage to several critical systems. 6 souls and 5 casualties on board. Last known location is 422.38.52 Oort Cloud travelling spinward along the Exocron boundary. Please help us, repeating, Over.
The mayday message is repeating every 30 seconds. I think if we divert we may be able to get to them within a reasonable time. That’ll be expensive however for both our vessel, crew and our employer. Time is money in our business and help doesn’t come free in the world of independent trading, I hope they have something valuable onboard to trade… It would be a terrible shame if we were unable to render aid in time… mind you if we are too late to help them there is always salvage rights…
