Session 5: No-One Runs
"You're like a happy meal no-one wants"

- Logan Kane

Overview
Logan Kane returns to The Daedalus after successfully disabling the remote mechanism in the Spider Mine, stashing it in the Cargo Hold while Vic puts Nahtesh there as well to recover. Logan and Vic brew some Rosie Lee discuss what to do next, initially deciding to investigate the Temple Cloud Bar in search of Marcus after Rickmann returns. They anticipate reprisal from Rufalo so take turns keeping watch - Nahtesh wakes up during Vic's shift and cautiously investigates the Skiff to work out what happened, nearly leading to a fight when the two narrowly avoid attacking each other when he stumbles into the living quarters in confusion. After teleporting into Logan's room and confirming that the Crew are OK, they change shifts and then await Rickmann.

In the morning they re-discuss their plans, with Nahtesh convincing them that it is too dangerous to go after Marcus, even if they knew that he was alive or where he is. Instead they agree to leave for Stormrest Charm as soon as possible and to return the Spider Mine to Abura and explain that they couldn't complete the delivery due to circumstances outside of their control.

He and Vic leave for The Astonish (which they learn is Slim's Skiff) to have their meeting with Slim. While they wait a crew member mentions to them that a heavy sandstorm is meant to hit the Peak in the next day or so, heading East. The pair agree to take on his delivery, which turns out to be on behalf of Earl Blue - they are tasked with carrying a sealed metal case to Reevalo and personally delivering it to Baron Red. The delivery has to be completed within a week which is no longer viable for Slim's schedule and will pay upwards of 800 Shinies upon delivery. Vic is nervous to agree to yet another secret cargo delivery but accepts the proposal. Meanwhile Rickmann has returned without his briefcase and when confronted by a suspicious Logan concedes that he delivered it to Earl Blue as a matter of private business that in no way involves The Crew. The answer doesn't satisfy Logan and he implies to Nahtesh that he thinks it may be linked to Marcus, but he lets it go and they prepare The Daedalus for departure. Nahtesh forgets to mention the impending sandstorm to Logan...

"Well the fatal flaw with that plan is if we tell them we have the mine, they'll know we have the mine."
