Dead Suns Episode 24

29th Rova, 317 AG (continued)
The party fight for their lives against the powerful Devourer Cultist Leader, Tahomen (male korasha lashunta mystic). The party defeat the cultists and discover a large comm unit. Carmen and Dr Gentoo back into the comms unit and find Tahomen's recent communications.

Tahomen posits that the 12-star constellation—the Gate of Twelve Suns—opens to a demiplane that hides an unspeakably powerful superweapon. The cult leader believes that the Drift Rock is a tiny fragment of this “Stellar Degenerator,” broken off when a portion of the demiplane was torn away and added to the Drift as a result of Drift travel. Tahomen also recommended that the Cult of Devourer apply as many resources as possible to find the Gate of Twelve Suns—and the Stellar Degenerator— before anyone else does. In addition, the party learn the approximate coordinates of the location Tahomen transmitted his messages to: a stretch of several hundred asteroids in the Diaspora. Gentoo and Carmen also steal 2000 credits from Tahomen's bank account as well.

Carmen and Dr Gentoo design a sled and have Daevaethan help make it so they can have Riggs pull it all the way back to Turhalu Point.

The party teleport from Turhalu Point to Qabarat and return to Qabarat University of Xenoarchaeology and Xenoanthropology. They speak with Professor Muhall, who congratuates the party on saving Dr. Solstarni. Professor Muhall offers the party 1000 credits each as a reward, or a scholarship. The party negotiate instead for student labor to help install their medbay. Professor Muhall agrees.
