The party investigate the Drift Rock to find the crew of the Acreon for Ambassador Gevalarsk Nor. In the dift rock the combat with the android Clara-247.

Daevaethan tries to negotiate with Clara, but they won't match her price to stop attacking the party. Carmen and Riggs try to attack Clara but keep missing. Eventually the party get some hits in and Clara surrenders.

Clara says she was hired by a shell company to attack the party to prevent their mission being completed. She agrees to surrender and come with the party. Clara is tied up and Gentoo drags her along like a balloon. Gentoo equips Clara's armor and jetpack.

After resting for 10 minutes the party move on, with Daevae pushing the weightless Clara in front of them.

Down the cavern the party find some actually built chambers inside the drift rock as well as a zombie with tentacles. The party defend themselves form the creature. Daevae notices the void zombie was infected by the same thing that is infecting Carmen. Carmen is grappled by the void zombie and is drained of strength.

Still grappled, Carmen pulls out a Frag Grenade and warns everyone to back off so she can take out the void zombie. Gentoo smashes a jar of salt water on the zombie and it reacts to it. Io manages to finish off the void zombie. Carmen puts the Frag Grenade away.

The void zombie was wearing the Acreon Crew Uniform. Carmen is convinced that she will be turned into a zombie, and wants to be killed so not to turn into that.

Clara points out their ship, the "The Hippocampus" is leaving. Daevae looks down the tunnel and sees the shuttle take off and head back towards Absalom Station. Tee-Hee Kaboom had been duct tapped to the chair on the shuttle.
