Session 39 (200 xp)

"The wise man learns from the deaths of others."

Acolytes: Meghera, Drake, Lazerus.

The Acolytes follow the guidance of Nostromo, but even the ghostly navigator cannot find the right path through the madness of Mara without one of the grey psalters of Haarlock. While they wander the icy halls, they encounter Inquisitor Herrod and his retinue of Tyrantine Cabal's Acolytes.

The Inquisitor orders them to stand down, and offers a temporary alliance, but the Acolytes do not trust him, and a gunfight starts. The Acolytes kill Herrod and his retinue.

They reach an impossibly vast cavern, where weird clockwork devices can be found. Lazerus manages to decipher the information contained in them, bringing him one step nearer to understand the riddle that is Haarlock, but they are interrupted by the arrival of Miss Book, and her Amaranthine Syndicate mercenaries. The woman carries a gray psalter, and it's set on taking the keystone and Nostromo from the Acolytes.

Unwilling to give up, the Acolytes attack, but soon find out that Miss Book is a a Slaught in disguise. With her xeno technology, she brings the Acolytes on the edge of death, until Lazerus notices that she also carries some sort of explosive device. While he keeps her attention on him, Meghera shoots at the device from a distance.

The device, an antimatter imploder, goes off, annihilating everything and everyone in a 25 meters radius...
