Due to family medical issues, Requiem is on indefinite hiatus.
An elderly family member of ours took a bad fall on Labor Day night, and we’ve been dealing with the aftermath ever since. Hopefully, things will get sorted out, but as of right now, doing a daily comic is not something my schedule can allow.
Sorry to have this happen, but as everyone knows, real life comes first….and at least we don’t have too many running storylines on the backburner.
Julia Wells, significant other of Ian Caladharas. Julia co runs the Wells Hotel in Erech’s Clocktower District. For those people who have rpg’d in this world: The Wells Hotel is now known as Cytheron’s. Julia and Ian tied the knot in the City of Greyrest in the Crossing Territories.
So they only have a rough idea where the freighter holding station. But they do have a radio communications link. All they should need is the authentication-authorization protocol. Considering that the original shipping company was on Amon-Lanc, House Mebhe may indeed be able to provide an over-ride 😉
They don’t want a deal. That leaves a document trail. I’m expecting a heist. A freighter nobody really cares about just stops transmitting its queries one day. Must have been disabled or sank. Legal limbo over, collect insurance.
If Ian tries long enough he can find the freighter. Once he finds it, he can teleport to it. Then it’s getting someone to the ship that can hack it and take it to a secure port for unloading. Other people ought to be able to get to Ian from there or maybe he can move them himself.
Is there piracy on this world? Would an AI freighter have auto-defenses to deter hijacking? Did someone else get to it first?
Actually, I thought that the deal making would be téte a téte for the over-ride codes. There would not be a dox trail for that. It would also be a lot safer than trying to hack an AI.
Alternatively, Adah, the only surviving resident of Starfall, and Colinport specifically, could wind up inheriting the receiving company. She then takes passion and directs the freighter to the Maris Islands. Simple and no histrionics.
Probably not, it was a stretch anyway, a rather long one. As I said it’s late, past midnight. I’ll be waiting for the update, snoring the whole time. 😉

Sorry, this is late for me 😉
