+- Tubora and Logan do calculations and checks on the ships to make sure everything is correct.
+- Ozzi and Tadej head out to explore the space station and look around. We may want to find if there is a Jack school on the station.
+- We wander around the station and walk into a drug store-type of place. There are half-sized gerbils, reptiles, and insects. These are Gavarian wasps, and their sting is a powerful numbing agent; the Gruzers -- lizards, the tails regenerate and can be ground into a powder and lets you breathe under water; and the tiny gerbils are Southern Cuddles, that are edible and regain you 1d6 health points. You must name it and bond with it before being able to heal by biting its head off.
+- Ozzi tries to tell the shop keeper a sob story to drop the Cuddles' cost from 30 shins to 25 shins. It works and Ozzi buys the cutest one he can find. A brown one with big eyes. Food is an additional 25 shins; he declines to buy food. Lil' Daveric -- the name of the gerbil-like creature.
+- Tadej buys a wasp and nectar for 20 shins.
+- The shopkeeper says that there is a 3 ft tall, bright green frog-like creature with red belly that can heal mental illnesses. We can try to track it down for 200 shins. Likes humid environments, whiskey, and people down on their luck.
+- We hear about a high-stakes gambling joint that you need to be invited to, called Prosidium Den. There is a water feature there too. Rick's Casino is close to the space docks too. Long-Nose's Dives, a bar in the station too.
+- Rick's Casino is smoky and crowded. Card games, a pachinko-like game where you throw a ball at a wall. A bar as well.
+- Tadej orders a drink while Ozzi gambles. Vex, the bartender. No whiskey, but residue from the machines. Grock - the drink's name. It's gray. It's surprisingly sweet. 3 shins. He says Long-Nose's Dive has whiskey.
+- Ozzi puts down some shins and is given a gack ball. Tadej and Ozzi put 10 shins down each on his attempt. Ozzi takes off part of his armor to make the attempt easier. He throws it and succeeds.
+- Tadej puts 50 shins down and Ozzi goes for 20. Tadej puts in for the extremely difficult number, and Ozzi for the medium one. He loses, and we both lose our shins.
+- We go again! Same bets. Ozzi succeeds, but Tadej fails.
+- We go again! Tadej puts down his last 54 shins, while Ozzi puts down 50 shins.
+- At Long-Nose's, the bartender looks like Yoshi -- the mechanical Hognose. It is him! He owns the bar! Yoshi and Ozzi talk and seem to make up for the fight. They catch up and it seems Yoshi was left for dead by his new allies on Earth too. Yoshi met Fozzie Bear and helped him see the light to become a better Hognose. Yoshi took the lift up to the station and opened a bar up there.
+- Three regulars come in and order whiskey, but aren't drinking it. They pour it all into a jug in their backpack and then leave. Ozzi says we should follow them. Eventually they enter a home. Peering in through the window, we spot the frog on the couch of the living room. They take out the whiskey and put a straw in it for him.
