Just had Session #3 of our SF game powered by #Cypher wherein the crew, under investigation for the disappearance of the bounty hunter (whom they have hostage), ended up killing the detective and his cops before blasting out of the Downport and hiding the ship in forest. Fugitives, much. Fun times!
