Well a good number of people responded to a questionaire I mailed out, and
thanks. I hope the rest of you are enjoying this as much as everyone else
said they were. Here is turn #4, and I am also going to post these to the
traveller mailling list, since it's back in operation.

Ah, hello there. Well so far so good, no real problems that couldn't
be taken care of in getting your responses. I'm going to start posting to

"Why do you ask?"
"Well, I was just wondering what I could do with a ship like this,"
says Robert as his hand goes into his jacket, with a stern look on his face.
"What do ...."
"GUN!!!!" yells Steve ....
Roberts reaction is fast, but Steve's is a bit faster. Robert's arm
comes partway out of his jacket, as Steve grabs it at the elbow. Samantha,
reacting to Steve, uses her glass as a dagger, thrusting it into Robert's face.
It breaks, cutting his cheek, right below his right eye.
Erc notices Moe, drawing a weapon, and grabs him and they both fall to
the floor. Erekosse sees that Roberts' gun is out of his jacket and throws
Capt. Moray to the floor just as the gun discharges, striking Erekosse.
Curly is out of his chair and has a gun drawn, he is screaming, "Okay,
everybody freeze!" Moe and Erc are standing up now, exchanging blows as they
both hold onto Moe's gun. Steve has thrown Robert to the floor, and Samantha
and he are pinning him to the ground, there is heard a soft snap as Robert's
wrist is broken by Steve.
"I'm with the Imperial Bureau of Investigation," shouts Curly, "and I
and I said freeze." Erc is distracted for a split second, and that's all it
takes Moe to flip him onto the floor, gaining his gun.
Dan and Charlie are both quite shocked, they are frozen to their chairs,
and are remaining quite still. Erekosse is bleeding from a leg wound, and the
Capt is leaning over him inspecting the wound.
With his gun trained on Erc, Moe pulls his wallet out of his pocket, and
shows him an ID. Erc nods his approval, and takes Curly's hand to help him
stand up. Moe has moved over to where Steve and Samantha have Robert pinned to
the floor, his gun, a 9mm Sunb Pistol is lying on the floor next ot Steve.
"Okay folks, just roll him over, and I'll put these cuffs on," says
Curly. Steve and Samantha comply, and Curly puts the cuffs on Robert.
Erekosse's wound isn't as bad as once believed, and is actually only
minor. The Capt quickly bandages it up, and the says to Moe, "What the hell
is going on?"
"Sorry sir," says Moe, "but we couldn't let you know we were onboard,
we weren't quite sure we could trust you."
"I see," says Capt. Moray, "but what is this all about."
"Well I'll tell you," says Curly. "His name (picking up Robert) ain't
Robert Riechten, in fact, it's Hubert Ichten. We've been following him for the
past year, as he imitates representatives of Arter Apparel Corp, picking up
their merchandize, and selling it to friends of his on special worlds. So far
he has made a cool million doing it, until we realized that he was using the
Imperial ID of a dead man. Myself and my partner (pointing to Moe) finally
caught him on Pysadi, and were hoping to find his buyer at Aramanx, but I guess
we will just have to settle with him for now."
"If you don't mind captain, we'd like to take him to his stateroom, for
some 'questioning'."
"No, I don't mind at all, just one thing, I'd like you badge number if
I could have it."
"No problem," says Moe, "it's CD10345-U9."
Moe and Curly take Robert to his stateroom. Dan and Charlie excuse
themselves, and go to their stateroom. They both look quite shacken. You five
are left alone in the Common Room.

Well, what's next for the gallant members of the Ulysses? Find out in two
weeks, same traveller game, same GM.
