Plans change, the sponsor now has to deliver an important package and there is a warrant out for his arrest. The yacht they have been using leaves without them, they have to leave their baggage behind, and they spend time in hiding with the patron, intending to leave under assumed names on a liner to avoid possible pursuit. The patron's health worsens and he is barely able to board the liner. After they leave his health seems to improve.

The group's patron realises they are after him and needs to be got off the ship as soon as possible. The party takes him to a lifeboat, but it is too much for him and he collapses, instructing the party with his dying gasp to take the package to a contact. the lifeboat is in bad condition and unable to reach the star port. Messages overheard tell them that they have been declared terrorists and are to be tracked down. The [[lifeboat]] lands roughly on the [[planet]], in the wilderness. |
