Dirk and
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
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
