"Yep." She said padding around the ship to see what was new.

The duo got up and dressed as Henrietta left the room to check out the ship. She found the three new members of her crew sitting at some of the secondary stations figuring out the controls and systems with the help of Kisara and Sakura.
"Hey. How was your nap?" the latter asked, smiling.

"It was nice." She said relaxing in a chair. "Anything interesting happen while I was out?" She asked.

"Yes and no. Couple of other ships flew by in orbit for a short while and left moments later. They didn't try to communicate or anything, so we decided to wait and see. They didn't come back afterwards", Kurumu explained.

"I see." She said. "Still I think one of us should stay up and on watch until we leave." Henrietta said.

"Of course. Worry not. We made sure to have at least two of us in the cockpit, ready to act if anything happened", Morrigan said, embracing her from behind.
"Hmmmm... well, there might be something else, actually", Alia said. "It's faint, but I am getting a signal... there is a ship out there, but it barely has any functional systems. The energy signature is... very faint."

"I see... I'm going to check it out myself." She said putting her shoes back on before teleporting up to see what was going on.
22 stones in Starborn. 8 to fly up onto the ship. 14 in Personal Atmosphere in case life support fails.

She teleported out of the Starborn ship and flew over to the other one. After a short flight, she came across a small personal transport, seemingly drifting in space. She succeeded at making her way inside, only to find out that life support was pretty much the only thing still active on the vessel... and even then, it was so weak, there was barely any oxygen left on it prior to her arrival, making her personal atmosphere rather helpful, if not necessary.

Henrietta proceeded to search for anything of note.

Unfortunately, she soon located the former owner of the ship... a blonde woman in a white shirt, light brown leather coat, black pants and brown leather boots... quite dead in the living quarters. She had multiple gunshot injuries and some burns, likely from the damage which had resulted in her ship being damaged in an attack and disabled.
A quick examination revealed she had not died instantly from her wounds, so she had either bled out or suffocated from the limited oxygen. That same examination also revealed a fancy-looking, unusual revolver close to her hand.

She picked up and examined the revolver.
22 stones in Technology to examine the revolver.

For a handgun, it was a surprisingly complex and advanced design, nothing like she had ever seen before.
OOC: Gained: The Needler (A +1, 2x damage, Range 4 revolver with infinite ammo.The favored weapon of the legendary - though fictional - heroine Halcyon Helen, played by actress Ruth Bellamy in the aetherwave serial "Terror on Monarch", the Needler is however just as real as the actress' actual gunslinging skills. This highly technologically advanced revolver fires infinitely refilling, tiny flechettes coated in one of three potent chemicals, between which the user can switch simply by 'reloading'. The user may switch the active chemical once per panel for free on their turn, among the following: Rid O' Life (If target is injured, AN 8 Poison VS Durability to poison, dealing 1r per panel/white stone of 'damage' until the target perishes. No natural antidote exists, but magic or superpowers might be effective.)
- Caustolerene (If target is injured, AN 8 Effect VS Target's Armor/Clothing Defense MN first, then Toughness MN once the first is destroyed. If successful, lowers Armor/Clothing Defense by 1 per white stone of 'damage', destroying them at 0; and/or lowers Toughness by 1 per white stone of 'damage'. Magical/superscience and/or Indestructible items cannot be destroyed by the chemical, and Toughness returns at a rate of 1 per hour after exposure.)
- Debilerol (If target is injured, AN 8 Effect VS Speed/Mobility Action to lower it by 1 per white stone of 'damage', for a Duration of 1 panel/red stone of 'damage'. Movement speed debuff stack up to a minimum speed of 0, and duration in panels stack with no maximum.)

She nodded and sighed before porting back home.
8 stones in Starborn to teleport back to my ship.

She returned to the ship without issue.
"Welcome back. You okay?" Morrigan asked.

"Yep. I got a cool new gun out of it." She said showing off the weapon.
