Derelict Safehouse

The excavated structure showed evidence of long periods of use. It was once well-stocked with basic amenities. Trinkets and curios have been discovered strewn throughout the building. Within a pile of messy papers, we recovered a log entry written by Captain Ness herself.

We boarded and hijacked another Perikan treasury transport, but this time they were ready for us. More collateral than I'd like, but we've handled worse. Decent payout, but the Tapico Jewel continues to elude us. Unfortunately, now the Perikans have increased their bounty again and the Federation has gotten involved. Things are a bit hot right now. Might need to lay low for a while.

Digging beneath the structure revealed a small stash of valuables and basic sanitation systems. Unfortunately, after scouring the area completely, we were unable to find any evidence of a piece of the Celestial Chart.

We have collected more notebooks and papers in the hope of discovering a clue within Captain Ness's scattered log entries.

Time passes less slowly with a partner like Smeegibb, but is it worth splitting the glory? Sure, working with a hive mind has incredible value. Access to hundreds of drones in exchange for just a single cut of the profits? What a deal! But maybe the work they do takes away from my own achievements...? I'm not sure I can live with the idea of sharing my legacy. I'll need to give this more thought.

Concealed within an air vent, we discovered Captain Ness' final journal entry.

This isn't how I want to be remembered. Smeegibb has been a loyal companion, but never let it be said I needed them. I can take on the galaxy solo. I'll leave MY mark, and the glory will be mine. As well as the riches.

Note to self: Better send Smeegibb something to remember me by.

This is all there is left to find. There is no other trace of the Captain or any sign of the Celestial Chart.

Perhaps the gift to Smeegibb that was mentioned holds some clue to the whereabouts of the final piece. We must re-open communications with them.
