Wow!  I'm so glad I mentioned this now...

Brilliant, brilliant.


Thank you.
 
I do hope you're going to write this up for Freelance.  But even if you don't I've snipped this.


I might just do that. I think I've written up a couple of things for Freelance: a goofy salvaged jumpship I made up back during my first flush of love for Firefly (I think I named it the Galactic Guppy) and then a steam-powered tracked ATV. But - sad to say - I've never actually read an issue of the publication, so I don't know for sure.

But I'm definitely going to put the "Baker's Streak" into my FtF game next week. My player failed to keep the zombie virus out of the hands of the Ine Gvarn terrorists, but he did set them up to get infected (accidentally . . . by using the convenient courier bag sitting on the counter of the secure storage vault to hold the samples he was forced to acquire because his crew was being held hostage . . . the courier bag that he didn't know was designed to destroy wayward bacterial samples but which would only disperse nanoviral ones . . .). So Holmes-clone will be along to spring him from quarantine and take him along on the "Baker's Streak" to track that ship . . .

And you do know there's a Moriarty over in Delphi sector?  Unfortunately there's no Reichenbach for a planetfall.

Good one!
 
But there's definitely room for adventures such The Empty Ship, The Six Lucans, The Jump of Four, A Stateroom in Scarlet, and the Void of Fear.

How about The League of Red-Pelted Vargr?
 
Thank you, quite made my evening.

You're welcome!
