It’s a particularly dull jump returning to Collace – a real anti-climax after the excitement of the mission and the euphoria after its success, not helped by the fact that the ship’s stocks of alcohol took a hammering from the time the Rover spent in Pavabid starport.

The party members spend their time attending to their own training. The vacc suits ‘liberated’ from the Trexalonians coming in very useful. Max decides that it’s about time one of the party members learned how to fly an air/raft now and so spends his time on a driving simulator.

Despite these activities, however, time passes slowly aboard the Forine Rover and the crew members are counting the hours until the ship returns to the delights and entertainment options of Collace highport.
