Game report.. at long last

Well it took a few months, but we've officially started up our Traveller campaign again.
Our intrepid spacers started up tonight's session finishing up on the Esalin system. Agent Forbes had been assassinated at the Redway hotel where Martha Redway aided our heroes in exacting their revenge. Begging the group to take Forbes personal belongings (Data Wafer, and Hand Computer) to try and get the information into the right hands. That and receiving the 90,000 credits they're owed.
They were able to make a fortune hiring an excellent trade broker that got them a killer deal moving 20 tons of Space Cabbage. Sadly upon arrival several of the crew took sick with a nasty parasite that threatened to make things quite uncomfortable for those afflicted. Sadly Malik was hit the worst, as the medicinal approach failed to remove the multiple infestation he had in his gut. Nope, Malik needed surgery, which kept him cooped up in the hospital for 3 days. He didn't miss too much as the crew were being ripped off by a pair of unscrupulous interstellar exterminators, while they did rid them of the pests, there was evidence of some computer systems tampering. Mostly just ⌧ viewing.
After the parasite mess had been put to bed, the crew finally was able to get to the business of locating Agent Forbes' contact Daniel at a local watering hole named The Factory. While they had a few drinks, met a few locals, they didn't find anyone who knows who Daniel was, until they met a polymer trader named Stephen. Upon gaining Stephen's trust he agreed to arrange a meeting between the party, and Daniel at Stephen's chemical development plant. On the way over the party was mugged by 4 thugs armed with chains and sticks. It was a great battle with Malik grappling his 2 combatants into submission, and Adele knocking 2 fools stone cold OUT!
What will the players be in for when they finally get to meet Daniel? Friend or foe?
Tune in next time.
 
What happened to Farreach, Ao-dai and Clan?
Those happened in earlier game reports, but to rehash, those really stayed pretty close to the script. I was just learning the game mechanics (Still am). Other than having some interesting mis-jump mishaps, damaged ship components, and dealing with some unscrupulous space-salvage merchants, having a sneaking romp in a hospital, and getting jumped by street thugs, they really stayed pretty close to the script. I really wondered how far off the reservation these players would go, but if I don't throw random encounters at them they would be pretty content just railroading themselves.
 
The earlier posts make no mention of Zho Scout ambush at Ao-Dai. Did it occur? What was outcome?
Yes, I almost forgot about that, yes it occurred. The party chose to fight, killing the 3 Zhodani agents, stowing their bodies in low berth storage, leaving their ship behind. The players are fugitives, and word is being sent about their ship, although they aren't aware of this yet.
I haven't really decided how I want to mess with them in this regard. Either have a Zhodani raiding vessel in space, or perhaps, another ambush at their next destination. That is if they don't either get a new, or otherwise disguise their existing ship.
