Charlie, Tokheletoi and Takheal (any other PC's?)
Charlie discovers that the three wreaked grav carriers are at a salvage yard on the other side of this base. He is told that there are a number of small craft that have been damaged beyond repair over there and is given a letter of authorization to get in and dig around for anything useful to the mission.
Taking a small ground vehicle, think jeep, the trio depart. They trundle across the base past several ships, then past the ship yard where a number of ships are being repaired and built, and out to the edge of the high chain link fencing that surrounds the big Navy Base. To the right you see a secondary fence that surrounds a very large area filled with junked ships, boats, and vehicles.
Pulling up to the closed gate in this fence an woman dressed in fatigues comes over from a small guard house on the inside of the fence and looks you over. You aren't wearing navy uniforms and there are two strange looking creatures she doesn't recognize in the jeep, so she looks wary.
"Yeah?" she asks, "What do you want?"

We've only got rumors to work off, so if you know of any juicy pieces of salvage, it would be really helpful to the boys and girls that'll be doing the shooting. They and I could be grateful for any help you can give us."Charlie |

They were a bit behind in a separate vehicle and come into the picture as Charlie hands over the paperwork. They will also be keeping their eyes out for anything that might be useful. Junked vehicles are not always cleaned out thoroughly on the way to the salvage yard. Functional, but well used arms and other equipment will be useful on this mission with the well-used look. If she look askance at them, Adam will say, "Don't mind us, he's in charge." nodding at Charlie. |

"They with you?" she asks Charlie. Seeing the guard giving them a stare, Adam says, "Don't mind us, he's in charge." nodding at Charlie. "They with you?" she asks Charlie again, just to make sure. After assurances, she opens the gate and waves the two vehicles through, "The G-Carriers I think you've got in mind are at the corner of E and 8. That area anyway."
"Personally, I don't know or care what's in here, my job's just to make sure nothing comes in or out without proper paperwork." she says handing the paperwork back to Charlie. You notice that the salvage yard is divided into rectangles by wide roads. The north/south roads are lettered starting with A near the gate and the east/west roads are numbered starting with 1 near the gate on high posts at each intersection. As you drive onto the lot you see the first road intersection beyond the gate is labeled M 1. You can see a sign about 100 meters to your left with L 1 on its sign and similarly to your right you can see one in the distance with N 1 on it. |

The two vehicle caravan snakes through the wide avenues with piles of wreaked and junked ship, boat and vehicle debris piled up on either side, eventually getting to the location the gate guard gave them.
Along the way, Charlie noted several wreaks that might have items or two that could be handy. It looks like there's a turret in good shape on one ship and whether it's working or not is TBD. Another ship has the remains of a sensor array on its surface that he recognizes as being very high tech, could the electronics for it still be inside?
At the vehicle area it is obvious which of the wreaks you've come to see. They are lined up together with a little space around them. One looks like it had it's ventral gun emplacement blown completely off, the second has a large hole in its side, but the third does immediately show any real damage...other than the expected scraped paint and a few dents. You'll have to get out and do some up close examination to learn more.

"Neither of us has any engineering training, but it is interesting to hunt," the dappled female says with a tight-lipped smile. "As long as there is nothing hunting us," Takheal replies as he looks around, his ears erect. "There seems to be no one else here, though." |

Distant and faint, but it sounded like "chuff", then quiet. Takheal must be growing deaf to have not heard that! |

"There is something over there," Tokheletoi points toward the sound. "It was faint, but it was there." Takheal turns toward the sound. "Guide me." "A little to your left. Yes, that way." The Aslan male moves in the indicated direction, his senses alert. |

The Aslan male moves in the indicated direction, his senses alert. Takheals ears quiver as he moves silently. Yes, there is something out there, some 50 meters or more away. He can hear a faint breathing, but whatever it is isn't coming closer...right now anyway. It is behind several wreaked ground vehicles. There is a big ship canted on its side further back... A scrape! Whatever it was moved, claw, claw, claw on metal, toward that big ship and away from your party. |

"I think it was some sort of vermin. I heard claws on metal as it retreated." Tokheletoi nods. "Very well." |

Once they park, he gets out and grins at his companions. “One of them might be fixable with parts from the other two. Shall we climb through them and see what we find?” He’ll head to the one in the best shape and see if he can get in. Charlie OOC: Pinging on this. Nothing is locked...mostly...hatches are mostly wide open and easy to access. Inside the first, and externally least damaged grav APC, you turn on a lamp/flashlight/torch and find a good bit of damage. Then looking more closely, it's more a matter of a lot of the fittings inside have been taken out. There is actually, what looks like a good, sensor console and the engine bay is intact...but the fusion bottle and connections between it and the grav drive are gone. Aft of the cockpit is an area where 12 can sit, 6 along each side in fold up jump seats. A rough estimate is that you can get the 12 troopers in here or about 10 tons of cargo. Access is at the rear where a big hatch will fold down it is currently up and buttoned tight. There is a turret atop the vehicle, but no weapon in it. The second APC has more external damage, a hole blown through the top and down through the bottom. Inside there is a lot of blast damage and it doesn't look like much is salvageable. However, the cold fusion bottle is intact and might...*might*...be in working, or at least repairable order. This vehicle also has a turret and a the remains of a plasma cannon. The third APC is the most damage, in fact, when you examine it closely from the outside you find that only the front half is there. There is nothing aft of the cockpit! The armored partition between the cockpit and the passenger/cargo area is pitted and has a bow in it, but appears to be intact. The hatch in the cockpit section section is locked tight with no way to see the condition of that section without getting the hatch open. |

I think we might be able to make something work, but we need someone to check the fusion bottle in one and we have to get into the cockpit on the last one. I wonder if the plasma gun is repairable.” He looked around to see who is still with him. |
