The Invisible Monster Revealed!

 Last session, our heroes took a job to salvage the luxury liner Aurora Queen from the Belt for an insurance company. They find the ship damaged and were unable to locate many passengers. The injured Captain told them a vicious invisible monster was stalking the ship!

The cast:
Jones: human, ex-soldier
Lor' el-Am: Hadozee engineer
Mitchell: another human and ex-Space Marine
Trzkt: Vrusk scientist

The team used the ships internal comms (powered by emergency power) to make a call for other survivors. They heard from two: Big game hunter, Gareth Dugal and actress Vena Kallor who were barricaded on deck three. They decided to first find a means of making the invisible monster visible. They searched the galley for flour with no luck. They settled for a seltzer bottle. They then proceeded to engineering to try to get the power back on. This required splitting the group: Lor'el and Mitchell stayed in engineering and Trzkt and Jones went back to the electrical board on the bridge. They managed to get the power back up, allowing Lor'el to notice insectoid creatures in an open cargo hold!

The creatures turn out to be petrified specimens, but they are fearsome in appearance. The party also finds locked boxes, which they break open. One contains a number of unusual gems.  Another has archeological artifacts, and the last one has more petrified animals.

Taking the gems with them, they decide to head toward deck 3. Lor'el has a grease gun they hope to use to reveal the creature. On deck two, they find more evidence of struggle but no bodies. The creature attacks, and Jones tries to appease it with the gems (maybe they are its eggs?), but the creature shatters several and scatters the others they fight, and Lor'el is wounded, but the creature is forced to run from their atom rifles. It hides in a room, but they run in after it. Lor'el delivers the killing blow with a monkeywrench, and the giant creatures topples onto her and Jones, requiring Mitchell's help to get them out.

They free the actor and the hunter from deck 3. There are no other survivors. In the aftermath, the Captain manages to spin things in his favor and downplay the incident, saving the insurance company money, but keeping the party from a big payday. Taine is impressed with them though, and becomes a partner with them, funding a ship, provided they do work or him when he needs them to.
