The crew returned to Mithril to pick up a cargo that had been earmarked for them: 3 tons of bodies -- the starport staff that had been killed by the mercenaries. The bodies are going to Tyrfing, Gungnir, Sacnoth, and Gram, so they have a reason to visit several major worlds.
Also while on Mithril, they picked up a new PC: a Sword Worlder Other. A lot of the session involved the settling-in of the PC, whose player is known to the rest of the players already.
They headed to Biter, which gave me a chance to tell them about the Biter Atrocities. They did a little sightseeing -- I figure the 200,000 people on Biter make a little extra money from tourism, so I invented Apocalypse Tours LIC, which runs tours to one of the bombed city ruins in the countryside, which has been carefully preserved as a historical example. I described the almost-surgical bombing of city districts to drive the populace to an area where they could be corralled into transports and taken off-planet en masse.
I plan to build up the strict controls on Biter imports/exports, so that I can run "Special Delivery" by William H. Keith.
