Game log for the 2011/01/21 session of Rogue Trader: After the Gold Rush, as taken by Jacko
While the conversation with the dreadnought continued, Bors was summoned to the surface to speak with an armsman. He reported that a fire team had found signs of life but the team went silent shortly after, just a few clicks away. Bors immediately requested four more fireteams to arrive at his location to setup a perimeter replete with Tarantula turrets while the excavation team worked.
Anastasia decided to fly over the last reported location of the missing team. They found life signs, small signs, near rubble that the lost shuttle was located at. They grab a fire team and send them in to investigate while the shuttle provides overwatch. They find the inside of the shuttle burnt and totaled, the dead pilot still in his seat.
Anastasia reports her findings and its decided to investigate the life signs as they could be weak humanoid signs. The team soon finds dropped equipment, spent magazines and other signs of the previous team. The surface team that was left at the burned out shuttle soon seems to spot something in a hab some distance away. They fire and manage to score a hit, blasting something out of a window.
As they move to see what they killed, waves of chitinous vermin pour out of the windows of the hab. The team inside the rubble report that they found dead versions of the leggy, toothy monsters, each about 2m long, and that they recovered 3 of the missing fireteam. Anastasia is able to land and retrieve the teams before anyone is brought down by the monsters.
Lord Machariel decides to maneuver the Drakban into the upper atmosphere so they can blast the LZ to smithereens with macro batteries. He pilots the ship himself and then allows Victrus and the gun crews to obliterate the area after Anastasia evac'ed the teams.
The excavation team finally reaches the bay door of the underground bunker and is able to open it, allowing Lysander and the Marines to be retrieved. They board a lighter and head to the Drakban first, soon joined by the other teams and the Drakban soon has all her crewmen back.
Jahazar was able to detect the trail of a second Ork ship that had left before they had their own encounter wit its sibling. The Warp is disturbed around this planet, hints of Chaos and ghost ships visible in the memories of the Immaterium.
Machariel and Livienne go to the lighter bay to speak with Lysander. They introduce themselves and Marneus announces that he is the captain of the vessel. Lysander haltingly speaks with them about his chapter and his need to contact them.
