Gaius, Week 30

After reconnecting with Abernathy and the Annic Nova in Weiss, the crew shared the knowledge that the Jaice group facilitated payment for their betrayal - information retrieved from the mercenary survivors. It was determined that the Jaice group acted as the intermediary for a third party, transferring funds and messages as a financial service rather than a means to an end. Suspects include Ling Standard Products, Shiguushda Yards, and the Sword Worlds. The Jaice group representative was detained and questioned, but seeming only a pawn that was to be disposed of, she was turned by Kyras into a double agent for LERC and Disasteroid Inc.

The pair of ships then proceeded along to Aki, then Glisten, as originally arranged with Diversification Inc, who welcomed the arrival, repairing the power plant of the Calamity and berthing the Annic Nova safely. The corporation then invested an additional 800 million credits, as promised, alongside a 200 million credit investment by Ling Standard Products - ensuring they maintain a stake despite the failure to secure the Annic Nova at their own shipyards in Mora.

With more than 17MCr, the crew of the calamity purchased a variety of cybernetic upgrades, including enhancements to Kyras's mind and dexterity, a smuggling compartment for Minno, and a cybernetic arm for Gaius. Weapon materiels were also purchased, including a powerful laser weaponn for the captain, an arc field blade and combat armor for Gaius, and a silencer for Minno's body pistol.

It was determined that the remainder of the assets should be primarily allocated to the construction and eventual ownership of a prototype vessel utilizing the unique technological marvels of the Annic Nova, a task likely best suited to Diversification Inc., to whom 24 shipshares -Disasteroid's full sum- were allocated for the prototype project. Negotiations and evaluations for the ultimate design of the vessel intended to replace the Calamity have begun, as Newton and the other brains set their mind to the task.
