-- We head south to the instillation, with the remains of it poking out of the sands. Turrets on the top are dead and do not respond to our approach. 
-- Near it, Tubora finds tracks of creatures. Tracks are a like someone walking on their hands. 
-- We see a hanger-like place on the ship. 
-- Tadej tracks a set of the prints up to towards the top of the building. A greenish hand with metal bars sticking out of it falls out of the sand dune near us. 
-- Logan scans the hand. He sees a full body attached to it buried in the sand. There are powerful cybernetics attached to it. 
-- Tubora puts her medical shirt Oddity on the hand to try and reveal more info. It is a discolored hand, with tubes within it and connecting it to the muscle. There is still fluid in the tubes too. She takes out a pliers out of her tools and pokes it; it does not react. DM intrusion, a blade shoots out of the sand at her as it begins to react. The full creature emerges from the sand with a sword.  
-- We enter combat with it! Ozzi shocks the creature, while Logan uses a mental onslaught. Tadej tries to distract the creature with an impressive feat, but fails. Tubora uses her katana to kill the creature, slicing through it. 
-- Logan picks up the cypher Monoblade "off" of it. Tubora tries to harvest Numenera off of the creature. 
-- Tadej picks up the corpse and pushes it against the wall. The hanger doors react and crack open. In the hanger, there is a damaged hoverbike from the Cobras, but not much else in there. 
-- Logan and Ozzi jump into the hanger from the dune they are on top of. Inside, they hear hissing and humming. 
-- Another green creature is in the hanger, but has a large bite out of its body. Tubora and Tadej join them in the bottom, with Tadej jumping down onto the corpse of the other creature he is dragging. Tadej throws her back up the dune, and on the second attempt Tubora falls down and injures herself.
-- New DM intrusion -- we don't know what it is... it is towards Logan. 
-- We head forward, with Ozzi leading while invisible with "vanish". We sneak our way down the hallway. A creature runs across the hall -- an orb-like creature with two arms. We continue to hear the loud "don don don" sound throughout the ship's PA system. 
-- Tubora flashes her glowglobe to warn the others that she sensed danger. We turn left to go the opposite direction of the creature. 
-- There is a room at the end of the hall with four pods in it. The pods are full of the green creatures similar to the one we fought earlier. 
-- Logan interacts with the computer screen near the panels. It operates easily for him. He has an asset but doesn't know why...
-- Logan programs the team into the computer as "Merkadians". Logan begins to behave strange and speak like he knows them. He realizes that it is weird that he has memories of people and places that he should not know. He scans himself and everything seems fine. Tubora offers to give him the medical scanning shirt and she can see wires inside of him -- they seem to be forming together. Logan tries to reject the nanotechnology through his own nanos.
-- Logan has two weeks before he is "assimilated." The other three check with Tubora's coat and we don't seem to have any similar issues. 
-- DM intrusion for Ozzi. There is a squat little figure walking on two hands. The spherical creature looks up at Ozzi. It leaps at Ozzi to try and bite him. Tubora tries to use her sonic watch cypher to combat it. A huge noise pushes out from the watch. It is stunned, while Ozzi kills it with Shock. We hear more footsteps from down the hall running forward. Logan shuts the doors, but that does not hold them forever. 
-- Logan starts up the other green soldiers to get them to join us in the fight. The door bursts open and we are being swarmed. Logan takes out the Monoblade and begins slicing the creatures. Tadej bursts into flames and starts slicing, Tubora slices a few too. Two green creatures pick up another one and throw him towards the door to slice a few in a spinning aerial attack. Ozzi slices through more. "Saturday Night's Alright (For Fighting)" begins to play on the PA. The fight goes on...
+- We return to the battle with the small creatures that walk on hands. We slice through the creatures and turn to flee. Tadej uses a Burrowing Bubble cypher to create an obstacle as they flee, killing many at once but also injuring all the players for 3 points. 
+- As we flee, more and more of these creatures are joining the chase for us. 
+- DM intrusion for Tubora. Her katana gets stuck in a creature. She has to choose to get her sword out or leave it behind. She uses an XP to negate the intrusion. 
+- Ozzi attempts to capture a creature in his Oddity of a small square cage. He grabs one successfully and continues to run. We fight off creatures as we continue to flee. The Merkadins stay behind and fight behind us. 
+- We reach the hanger and Tubora prepares to shut the doors after we are all through. Ozzi and Tadej turn and fend off the last as the doors close. 
+- Tadej refuses to calm down and attacks Ozzi. Ozzi limps away and Tadej is able to calm down after Logan uses an alarm to distract him. 
+- Tubora accesses the hanger bay computer and reviews the information. She finds instructions on how to fix speeder bikes. The SALVISTER plans are the name of the instructions. Tubora and Logan work to fix the bike with some of her malleable materials. They succeed in fixing it and work to fashion a chariot to be dragged by the speeder bike.
+- We ride out of the facility and skid along the rocks and dirt on the "innertube" chariot bike. We return to the hognoses but they are missing. Tadej tries to track them. 
+- After a long rest, we arrive at a cave. Tubora pulls out a glowglobe and leads the way. We head down a winding trail into a cavern. 
+- We hear a robotic voice that says "I'm surprised you came, I didn't think you cared."
+- DM intrusion for all -- we walk further in, following the hognose trail. A laser beam shoots out and hits behind us. A half-robot, half-creature can be seen. A long metallic trunk and one robot eye -- robo Yoshi! "The Convergance made me stronger." (the black-robed guys from earlier). 
+- Ozzi tries to offer him a jelly donut. It accuses Ozzi of abandoning him. He releases a cloud of smoke from its trunk and becomes hidden.
