Synopsis of First Gaming Session

Our group, Badger, a ship pilot, Dr. McCoy, M.D., and Clive O'Hairy the Genetically Enhanced Talking Chimp each receive a call from this lawyer guy and head over to his office. We all arrive there, look each other over with some understandable misgivings (with bemused stares being especially directed at the Chimp), and our sleazy friend Mr. Bradford comes out of the back room smelling, if I remember correctly, of cheap Gin. He informs us that we have all inherited a freighter from a dear friend who claims that we helped him a while back, and we have some paperwork to fill out. We get to it, and then go on our merry way to check out our new vessel.

It turns out, however, that the ship we now own has accumulated a lot of 'port fees' (about a million smackers worth) so Badger and the Doc each take out a loan from "Shark's Savings and Loans" to pay off the debt-- with our internal organs and our freighter as collateral (smart, weren't we?  And this isn't even going into the 10% interest -$150,000- we accumulate each month, minimum payment of 1% -$15,000.)  The monkey, on the other hand, just gets a big enough loan to decorate his new swingin' bachelor Chimp pad.

Then, we get called back to Bradford's office again-- only we find some rather unexpected visitors waiting for us this time. Bradford is tied up, and the leader of the thugs, William Grant, thanks us for paying off his debt for him (the ship is his, apparently.)  He and his handful of scrubs then lead us outside to "take care" of us. Badger and the Doc whip out their firearms and blast the scummy hoodlums, while Clive yanks one of them under a car and proceeds to shred the poor man with his teeth.

Blah blah blah, we take off in the ship and set off to find employment so we can all pay off our respective debts to "Shark's Savings and Loans."
