====== Cliff Hanger ======

**Setting:** [[.:stations:start#clifftop_station|Clifftop Station]]

===== What's up dock =====

  * [[dirk_richter|Dirk]] and [[jon_hector|Hector]] wander about on a space station the Lady Jane is currently docked at.  It's a large station at the end point of a space elevator with an internal hangar space that has multiple outside airlocks on its shell (very Star Trek mushroom)
  * Spotting security and a black ops team acting suspicious, Dirk investigates and Jon strategically withdraws
  * O2STK sends a recruitment notice to the ship about a potential candidate currently on the station
  * Dirk finds out that security is without its leaders, and is looking for terrorists
  * [[Tarquil]] looks for a ship to escape on, disguised as a greasy Tarquil and happens across the Lady Jane
  * Hector agrees to smuggle Tarquil and shows him the ship - only slightly incredibly weirded about by the psychic nature of the ship and how it responds to Tarquil
  * Security orders everone out of the hangars and off ship.  Jon sets up Tarquil in a hidden space and ushers everyone else out ([[Kaine]], [[Eight]] and the [[rhea|Farseer]])
  * After a message from Dirk, Jon hacks the security network and discovers the security chiefs have been kidnapped and are at the base of the tether with a number of fusion bombs (and terrorist accessories)
  * Tarquil nicks the ship, and has some initial difficulty with getting out of the hangar
  * Dirk sneaks to the tether and disables half the bombs
  * Jon almost completely fails to do anything useful with the fast approaching elevator coming up the inside of the tether, that will trigger the bombs. 
  * A wobbling elevator and some telepathic mind control from Tarquil who overheard Hector & Dirk planning on the ships intercom sufficiently distract the terrorists enablign Dirk to free and arm the security personnel.
  * Security deals with the terrorists while Dirk deals with the rest of the bombs

===== Quotes =====


===== Continuity =====

  * Tarquil is played by Carson's player
  * Tarquil is a passenger paying his way with piloting skills and money - and may be recruited
  * Dirk saved a bomb as a present for Hector.  Hector is quite pleased about this
