WHAT HAPPENS IN SPACE VEGAS STAYS IN SPACE VEGAS

The ship has made a stop at a city-planet to acquire some supplies-- and just everyone's luck, it's one of those wonderful mostly-lawless places where you can do or get pretty much anything. About the only thing the local government seems to frown on is outright murder, though it's quickly apparent that most of the planet's places of business include some rather heavily-armed security to deter thieves and other ne'er-do-wells. Still, it's a chance to get away from the zombies and breathe some non-recycled atmosphere for a while...

Scenarios:

#1: Screw that, I'm staying on board.

Just what it says on the tin. Your character has some plans now that the ship's mostly cleared of both unwilling passengers and zombies.. the Master might even be away! Time for a little reconnaissance behind locked doors?

#2: All work and no play makes Jack something something.

Unhappily for you, you were given a mission on-planet that you should probably try to complete before you go have fun... well, unless you want to get your air supply cut off or any of another thousand yucky things. Thankfully, you just have to pick up that really big palette of mysterious crates watched over by those really big unsmiling dudes.. or was it that other big stack of crates?

#3: Well it's not technically illegal.

There's something on-planet-- money, technology, shinies, whatever your character's heart desires. Only problem is, you can't seem to acquire it by normal economic activities. Ocean's Eleven in Space, anyone?

#4: The chips are down.

It's Space Vegas. Your character is gonna go have a look at the space casinos, or take in a space MMA battle, or whatever other ridiculous thing you can think of on a planet where you can do pretty much anything you can afford... and you've got just enough in credits or barter to cash in...

#5: Wild card! Choose your own adventure!

"Did you now?" It was almost reflexive, the light prompt for more information. Knowing more about her fellow unwilling passengers was always valuable.

Also good to know that he was apparently working the crowd. Her own possessions weren't at all easy to get to -- she knew better -- but she filed the bit of information away comfortably. "I could use a second set of hands around," she conceded. "Not to mention ears. There's some guy called Zuruk out by the edge of town..." How to get in. What kind of security he had. Where he likely kept his prize possessions. Things she needed to know.

"Yup~! It was a sad day for everyone when I went legit," Axl said, grinning.

He wasn't going to sneak anything from an ally, at least not if the ally wasn't likely to hurt themselves with it. He nodded as she described her person of interest.

"Heard a couple mentions of the guy.. collector of some kind, likes to break kneecaps if he doesn't get his protection money on time." He hadn't been fishing for details, though, just overhearing conversations idly.

"He have something special?" Well, if there was going to be a caper involved, he liked to know.
