Jovian Chronicles Companion - Advanced Rules and Background
Regelerweiterungen und zusätzliches Hintergrundmaterial
Guilt washed over Viviane at the sight of her inadvertent handiwork. From the vantage point of her Pathfinder¸ she gazed at the highly radioactive Corridor of Death between Io and Jupiter¸ then at the SS Bacchus¸ drifting away with its engines shut and a gaping hole in its cargo bay.

Inside¸ Viviane could hear her Pathfinder protests as the ferocious thrust strained the exo's joints and overheated its fusion core. She knew it couldn't take this for very long. She just needed it to hold on long enough to push the merchan ship away from the Corridor.
It was an act of desperation. It had to work...
