After asking Rathenberg to loan them a spaceship to reach Vega-2 destroy a TITAN asteroid facility, the group was left indebted to the Doyenne of the Morningstar Alliance’s Diplomatic Corps. She’s called in her marker.

The TITAN presence at the wreck of the Serendipity has gotten more active. Few have noticed yet, and Firewall wants it looked into before the Lunar government finds out. When they do, there will likely be a full-blown nuclear response.
Making matters worse, the nearby habitat of Farnoss is home to a secretive ego backup facility used by the Planetary Consortium. If the Serendipity is growing underground passages like those near Mars’ TQZ, then Farnoss could be at risk and even Luna’s nuclear warheads might not be enough to contain it.

An automated scanner found signs of life on a habitat long thought abandoned. Agent Alpha and his sentinels are tasked with investigating the hab before its orbit takes it back out of reach.
The team found communication records in the old hab which raised suspicion of TITAN machine activity at one of the asteroids near its orbit. Two attempts later, Roland and Abi returned again to report that the asteroid was blown to bits.

An ego hunter going by June Sinclair sent a threatening message to Jill claiming know what she is, then backed it up with an attack in the deserts of Mars. Though quickly beaten, she showed a dangerous willingness to engage her mark.
The aftermath of that battle left many questions, and a lingering feeling that it was just the first of many battles to come.

The perpetrators of the Hollow Tower conspiracy managed to kidnap at least some of the people on their target list, including Tetrafen the Firewall proxy. A former sentinel who worked with him claims to know where he is, but wants Firewall to rescue her wife from cold storage before she reveals her intel.

After a series of high stakes investigations, Agent Alpha’s colleagues forcibly put him on vacation. But all is not well on the ultra-luxury resort hab, Oasis del Vacío.

The member corporations of the Planetary Consortium have been suffering from a series of coordinated mesh attacks. Those attacks are escalating and becoming very dangerous, targeting critical infrastructure and equipment. After a series of near-disasters, it seems the elusive parties launching the attacks are hiding their true motives – and targets – very carefully.

After months of preparation and the reawakening of YUKI, Fujizo Corp is ready to kick off their Revival Project, starting with a rehabilitated research hab in the midst of Earth’s leading jovians (Earth-Sun L4 point). A couple of engineers have spruced the place up and Fujizo is sending their mascot YUKI to give a tour and small press conference. Fearing interference from other corps, Fujizo hired United Division to provide camera crew and security, with Heidi and Nenette contracted for small guest appearances.
Main Page: The Birthday Murder
Hypercorp trillionaire Dr. London Carrick has invited the United Division to his 130th birthday party so that Heidi can make a special episode of Breakthrough! But the party’s barely started, and the birthday boy’s already dead in a pile of exploded body parts. Who could have killed him?

Nenette has an offer she can’t refuse. A cushy gig on Venus for Stratos, the week-long convention leading up to Morningstar Day. Part fashion show, part terraforming expo, part holiday. Even if she has to spend mandatory time glamming it up for her Clean Sweep overlords, at least The United Division are there as her token ‘security detail’ through Octavia habsec.
But while the fourth annual independence celebration is kicking off, Alpha and his sentinels are on picket duty for Firewall. Venus is the newest polity in the Inner System, and everyone wants a stake in it. The Planetary Consortium is still sore about the breakup, the Autonomists are eager to cut in, and the Star Council are by no means a monolith. Alpha knows the drill. Keep an ear to the ground, maintain the balance, etcetera, etcetera.
What could possibly go wrong?
Barely four days into the week-long celebration, The United Division have sleuthed their way from Octavia to Parvarti and back. They tracked a missing Neo-Synergist and unravelled a backroom deal between Nimbus Corp., the Factors, and the Star Council. Chasing leads and low-level criminals, they found themselves working for underworld fixer and infobroker Blackvein to reignite a syndicate war.
The party pocketed Argyle’s invitation to a darkmesh auction masquerading as a game of high-ante Blackjack. They snubbed Parvarti’s elusive Board to secure Morningstar exclusive access to a not-at-all-ominous Factor Embassy now set by the northern Polar Zone of Venus. The Factors played hard and now have guaranteed surface access, if no colonization rights.
The United Division snuck off Parvarti and followed Rage to his ship where they weatherd Basilisk hacks, teamed up with Chrysalis, killed Rage once and for all, and retrieved Elodie Cain. They donated a stolen Fenrir tank to Rathenberg and returned Elodie to her collective. Finally, they leveraged the best PR campaign of a lifetime into Clean Sweep offering Nenette and Umbretta alternating access to ‘The Distance’, a near-mythical clause that puts trust and personhood in writing.
Main page: Finding Miss Abigail
During the events of The Cancri 4 Incident, Abi realized that she is not a beta fork at all. She’s a fully-fledged alpha fork – maybe even the original Miss Abigail – and that raises some big questions. How did PlathCo acquire her as a “fork”? Who wiped her memories of her previous group? Why can’t she do psychosurgery any more?
After grilling PlathCo and digging through Firewall’s records with Alpha’s help, Abi tracked her old associate Oluwat to a habitat on Europa. She’s asked her new friends to help her find him, and then find out what happened to her.
Main page: The Cancri 4 Incident
PlathCo is a minicorp with time at the OG Pandora gate. They sent a group of ten settlers to the desert world of Cancri 4 a year ago. They were in regular contact every week when the gate could reach that world. Four months ago, the gate stopped linking to Cancri 4 and PlathCo assumed the colony was lost forever.
Just under one week ago, the planet linked back up to the gate, but there was no immediate contact. PlathCo sent a drone in to look around and saw no evidence of the colonists besides their empty buildings. It did not risk connecting to the local mesh.
In two days the gate will open back up to Cancri 4 and PlathCo has hired some madmen investigators (you) to check out the colony in person. The mission: find out what happened and pack up everything that remains for shipment back to Sol system. You have one week.
One week later, and United Division has returned with boxes of material and no colonists. It looks like someone went rogue – probably Kehsia – and everyone perished while the gate refused to open.
