About the adventure

The garbage barge, Döner, is used to depositing radioactive trash into the Nebula, but the turnover for such a tedious job is high and the pay is atrociously low. Captain Eladry Parsec, a drow with seedy connections, has managed to attract the lowliest of criminals to join her on her next mission, but got sick the day before launch and pulled in help from you, the slightly more responsible substitutes, with a simple note: "SALLY is a little funny, but she'll get you through. Try not to crash the old biddy. And watch for Knives in your bunks." This game uses excerpts from Dark Matter, a 5e expansion, for bonus spells, classes, and races, but mostly all 5e options will be accepted. Can you prevent a mutiny and finish the job in a timely fashion? Or will the internal strife outpace your pay stubs?
