2300AD: Grendelssaga Pt. 3 - Black as Pitch

[MongooseMatt]

Black as Pitch is the thirdadventure in the Grendelssaga (after Rescue Run and Salvage Rights), a series of three adventures set on the rogue world of Grendel, in the Queen Alice’s Star system. Grendel is largely unexplored, an uninhabitable world in the next orbit out from the human colony world of Beowulf.

The British colonial government of Alicia is eager to engage with the Pentapods, having seen the benefits accrued to the French colony on Beta Canum. They are acting as quickly as possible, to forestall a French intervention, and present to the Home Office a fait accompli by having a treaty in place by the time the courier ship returns with instructions.

The Alician Colonial Government, in conjunction with the University of Alicia, has put together a project to rapidly expand the base on Grendel, increasing its scientific capabilities, as well as outfitting it as a human embassy to the Pentapods.

One quibble with the consistency between this and the previous adventure.

Salvage rights indicates that the French would likely be amiable to the characters attempting to salvage the Durandal... and happy for the crew remains to be repatriated... as long as the nuclear warheads were turned over.

Black as Pitch has the French running the group out of Beowulf, and threatening them to maintain their silence... tough to do when you're trying to organize the, French-approved, salvage of a starship.
