Player group (Kelkameron the Soldier, Scourge the Mechanic, Jameson the Solarian + 3 NPCs) take the Winnebago from university to dock side to investigate the restaurant and the port authority. They exchange clues nicely with the PA cops, then head to the Five Arches. It's a crappy place with a no-fighting policy.
They latch onto Twosenah the Smuggler, who's in the same gang as "Eyerub Pascal" and the three perps who kidnapped Professor Sustarni.
Clues point them to the continent of Ukulam, at Turhalu Point.

Onboard the Yellowhammer, a space barge converted to a private surface water-navy usage on Castrovel. The Heroes travel from Markodai near Ukulam, over to Qabarat on Asana. They seek to escape the chaos of the zombie outbreak, escape the bounty placed on Andros, and get some help with serious disposal of the contents of the gym-bag of doom. The boat was jam-packed with refugees. The PCs meet Bifrod, a humanoid icon gladiator; and Tryvor, a tortanian herbalist; and Calanthia, a human security crewman.
Ominously, there seems to be gang-members escaping also, and a posse of 5 low-lifes seem to be eyeing the crowd, looking for a mark of some kind. After a while of investigating the boat, and looking for likely allies, the PCs get a lead on Professor Muhali at L.S.U, since she has leads on likely jobs, and connections to the Starfinders,and the Northern Geographic Society, that explores Ukulam. But before they can get safely into port at Qabarat, one of the thugs begins making eyes at Andros & co, and apparently he got the bounty notified to his smart phone, and the PCs recruited Calanthia. Detect Thoughts revealed their ambush plans. So when all the other refugees had left the boat, and their 5 (Andros, Kelkameron, Ritagela, Gram, and Calanthia) squared off against the 5 thugs (Crimson Leader, Blonde, Brunette, Big-Guy, and Rat-Boy) .
Opening move: bean Big-Guy upside the head with a disgusting “Dr. Pepper bottle full of dip-spit” that one of the refugees had left under a bench...
Oddly, ship's security let the fight play out. After a while the battle finally swung the PCs way, and the leader and one of his molls fled into the water. The crew was more concerned about schedule than morality, did not care who started the fight or why, and simply had the PC's help them clean up the boat. This yielded some cash and weapons and a smart phone better than a trac-phone finally. With the money they rented a Winnebago (it's travel and accommodations). Now they want to hire a technomancer to convert the vehicle for space travel.
PICTURE: tables and benches scattered around the top deck of Yellowhammer, 4 crew on the right watch 5 PCs versus 5 scumbags.
Aside: When Andros from Akiton learned that a bounty was on him (thankfully for capture not death) he got a quick disguise. He tucked in his lashunta antenna and wore shades, plus a ball cap emblazoned: MAKE AUCTURN GREAT AGAIN
Andros the Solarian wakes up quickly from the explosion. Gram the Envoy and Ritagela the Mystic not so much. Kelkameron the Soldier arrives to help. Bomb was bio-hazard, not so much frag and explosives. It has started a zombie type plague, rather than kill the hostages, it made them into patient zeros.
Group escapes zombies, and exits the police cordon, makes it back to Starbuckers. V-Shani not found,not responding to calls. But the reward was released to accounts when arrived at café. Unknown party calls Andros with threats and demands. Zombie plague worsens,military called in. PCs split up, and the 2 go to university at Wyewich, (suburb of Markodai on Castrovel) Sage helps them identify certain items. They decide to leave for Qabarat.They fight zombies on way to docks area. PCs board barge to leave area.

All players shopping or job-hunting in downtown West Markodai, on the island of Castrovel nearest Ukulam jungle. Evac order from Police sends everyone out of radius. Players get notice of immediate job offer. Meet one V-Shani at nearby Starbuckers café. She needs items rescued from bank vault inside the restricted zone, before bomb destroys unreplaceable items. She is a Reptoid, but seems on the level. PCs accept, sneak into bank via Sewers, fighting off worker bots. Destroyed bot in bank, fooled guard, and got 6 items into transport pouch. Would have exited bank to safety,but terrorist bombs exploded, knocking everyone down, and leaving players in cliffhanger til next week's session.

Origins
Ritageladia the Vesk Mystic, left the limited confines of her Aucturn home, where her parents were researchers and guards at the watch stations that monitor the gates normally exploited by various cults. She spent her last credits, on passage to Castrovel, as a stop off to Absalom.
Gram the Envoy, who graduated on-line flight school on Akiton, spent his last funds getting to Castrovel, where hopefully more job opportunities would avail, plus he needed real world experience.
Andros, the Lashunta Solarian, had to leave his cadre of brothers, because he had received a dream containing a fragment of poem/code, and had to find out if it was a legit mission from the Solar Spirits. He knew Gram from high school, so they left on the same shuttle to Castrovel.
Gram, Ritagela, Andros
