38 - The power of Friendship (and this gun we found)

We managed to stop just in time in front of Ludwig's ramen stool, who's yelling at us until he realizes it's us.

We throw a rope and he climbs up pretty quickly. He gets on the side of the ship and reaches the deck.

After searching for a bit, Naus mentions there's one waypoint near Paildreo's home station, but the home station would be before that waypoint.

As we somewhat agree to tow him, and he gets back to his ship, starting the towing procedure. The Spelljammer ships seems to start a parade similar on how dogs sniff between themselves and they establish some kind of procedure to... assert each other?
At the end, all that matters, is that Ludwig's ship is behind Naus, and we manage to tow him.
(Some stuff out there is really messed up, I can't believe I had to write that. I mean I recall seeing Persy being mildly confused, and one of the few times Balnorin prayed after rolling his eyes.)

Just when we're about to resume, a door opens and we notice Sprigg throwing a temper tantrum.

On these words, walls appears to shape a room which Sprigg enters, and after a while we hear music loudly play, sitting on the edge of our Spelljammer deck, but somehow, it doesn't affect the flight.

We notice Or smiling towards us when we look above. And they walk down the mat, standing on the deck, in the middle of all of us.

A gold knocker appears on the ship.

As we're about to end our chat with Or, we're hearing a distant screaming and a small round object slams on the ship, and it clatters to the ground until reaching the deck. As it shakes and appears, it's a small pygmy skeleton.

Then they disappears. The skeleton holds a piece of paper and goes to see Persy.

Persy takes the paper and unfolds it, it's white piece of parchment with a center of it, a large black spot.

The skeleton leaves and jumps out of the deck without a word and gets spaghettified.

Ludwig with his noodles reaches out the deck.

Then comes a moment of banter to double check why we would receive that paper, and mostly what to ease the situation, as after all we did agree to do something on Detrine for them, but we haven't done it nor give back the item.
We're not really sure what to do to ease the situation.
The first step would be to reach a Death Inc associate, which may be present on the Waypoint we're going for Ludwig.
✒Follow-up quest: ✔The Black Dot.

Finally, we're able to enter into the Hyperdrive mode, we have around 4 hours before arriving to destination.
Nesvalyn is going back and forth between his room and the Portable Hole then stayed in his room for an hour, and finally brought a box filled with stuff back to his section, getting back with a somewhat mended outfit which fits his new physique, combining his "formal" outfit stitched with the froufrous and other pieces from the fancy suit he bought for the Bal Night, back in Saltspocket.

As he deems being ready, he spends some time with his fellow peers, mostly with Persy and Axel. Many subjects were aborted during the remaining hours, starting with the approach, as Persy and Axel convinces Nesvalyn to use and keep the Cloak of [Alter Self] to stay in disguise, at least until he reaches Paildreo, as Nesvalyn didn't want to lie to them.

The trio makes a pause in their discussion, after Nesvalyn smiling while being scolded by them.

Nesvalyn chuckles nervously, while wiping a tear.

Nesvalyn and Persy didn't knew what else to say...

Nesvalyn removes his journal holder from his belt and hands it with a pouch to Persy.

Persy grabs the journal holder and the pouch from Nesvalyn.

As the group finishes to share some moments, we're getting nearby our destination.

We're finally reaching the Gamma Station 387, except that the Scrap Queen failed to mention that it's in danger, as it appears it's under attack by a large meteor or crystals, with a mess going around the station.
From the outside we see mostly the mist, but there is something wrong, as this meteor is very close to the station.
[Insight] Nesvalyn is having that weird familiar tingle.

We're receiving a broadcast from the station when we're getting nearby.

Naus gives old space suits with fishbowl helmets.

We notice a light that allows the wielder to show or hide their face when we put them.

And we dock to the station, almost ready to get in.

We board off and enter the station. It's really dark and in that purple mist we can see bodies of astronauts, turning into crystals.

The room is really quiet, and we hear gunshots and deep guttural screams from afar.
We're illuminating our gear, and Persy uses his Driftglobe to cast [Daylight] around us. But we see there are creatures nearby, which we mistaken for a pyramid of crystal, and they hiss and click and get outside the rubble.

We turn off the [Daylight] before progressing.
We make our way to the stairs, and going through safely as we can, we all stop at a corner.
When looking, we can see the doors that leads to the mess hall the private described, except there are 3 much larger morphoids in the way. Their attention is on the mess hall and not on us.
Nesvalyn enables the Psychic Whispers with the party for 7h.
We plan to make an ambush and take them down together and as fast as possible.
[Stealth - Pass ✔] Axel changes corners to adjust themselves.
Persy lends a light crossbow to Nesvalyn, as the daggers don't seem efficient.

Persy panics a bit as his helmet as been removed, but he mentions that as he doesn't need to breath, he doesn't seem affected by the Minero Morphosis, or perhaps it's his warforged nature which saves him. Until then, we hope he's right, and he puts back the helmet before we reach the door, and knock to announce ourselves. We hear muffled voices from the other side.

We hear a button press on their side and a metal sheet encloses us behind, and the vents sucks out the crystal goo we had on us, and shoots us with that gaz, refreshing but sterile.
The bulk door opens and we're pulled into the mess hall and it closes behind us.
