 ^ [[https://forum.wanderingstar.online/threads/phoenix-team-do-it-clean.13/|Do it Clean]] | Luca, Yttrium, **Ally**, **Echelon**, //Frankie((Also mentions //The Driver//.))// | The first job as 'Phoenix Team', Yttrium and Luca meet the Mayor of Sargasso to investigate match fixing in the sport of Drill Tanks. The initial stakeout and seizure of the crooked 'Frankie' goes wrong, resulting in Yttrium coming undone, Luca getting the ire of her debtors, and having the cantankerous Echelon assigned to trace Frankie's contacts. Luca also gets beaten up a lot! | With the help of the Maidenhand barmaid Ally, and Luca being greeted by a Unit to explain himself - interrupted by a hit squad; Echelon uncovers the syndicate [[company/gruppen_tanhauss|Gruppen Tanhauss]] was responsible for supplying cash for the drivers throwing the races. Luca and Yttrium's less than ideal handling of the start has provoked the conglomerate into war against them - and potentially Sargasso. Luca seems pleased to have a 'recurring antagonist' though. |

The meteorites land and transform into sandstone abominations. | Luca and Seiren fought the abominations and won together. Later, units and local Police showed up to help with damage control. |

Their last known location is a slime farm up north in Sargasso's Bayous. Luca and Yttrium did some detective work together and tracked Gerald's whereabouts to a cavern in Devil's Depths.

They found the black-market operation Gerald was dabbling in, blasted it to bits, rescued him, and gave the Vogeljäger security present a headache. Gerald was happily reunited with Elena.

However, while channel surfing, Luca discovers that Frankie was busted out of a prison bus in transit, and soon identifies the culprit: The Driver. | Luca makes his address to the members of Phoenix Team, telling them to get ready to take Sargasso back from the Criminals, Gruppen Tanhauss, and the Driver. Meanwhile, Driver is spotted talking to a shady figure in an unknown safehouse. Frankie is with him, and due to be whisked elsewhere. |
 ^ [[https://forum.wanderingstar.online/threads/phoenix-team-tail-in-tail.65/|Tail in Tail]] | Luca, **Jirou** | Luca is contacted by a former EAD member [[character/jirou_harridan|Jirou Harridan]], formerly codenamed Decker or Rider. He agrees to meet Harridan at the Hero's Armaments. | Luca and Jirou agree that the chickens are coming home to roost, and that the remaining EAD members must be reached out to. They disagree on how to deal with the problem. Jirou passes Driver's psych file to Luca, wishes him luck in his efforts, and warns him to stay under the radar. |
 ^ [[https://forum.wanderingstar.online/threads/phoenix-team-hunted.83/|Hunted]] | //Ilsa//, //Muller//, //Dr. Lange// | Gruppen Tanhauss looks at the fallout from the incident at Devil's Depths, and the extraction of Frankie by Driver, and covering the hole caused by Ewings Slime Colony being routed. In the meantime, Tanhauss' PR department fabricates a narrative that pins the bus incident on former EADs 'reliving glory days' and 'acting out'. | Determining that Luca and Yttrium are priority targets, Tanhauss steps up their efforts to deal with the duo, as well as smear whatever reputation is left of EAD. To this end, Dr. Lange has developed Brokkoldat - artificial and disposable humanoids made of vegetable matter, and he fixates on Luca's arm, and proposes to steal it from him. Ilsa meanwhile cannot enjoy a sandwich. |
+^ [[https://forum.wanderingstar.online/threads/phoenix-team-see-inside.87/|See Inside]] | Luca, Breyja, Seiren, Snuffles, **Ravnir**, Ally, Yttrium, //Brokkoldat// | Deciding to get to know his team better, Luca decides to host lunch at the Hero's Armaments on his dollar. However, the lunch festivities are interrupted by the arrival of a large [[/weird_things|Weird Thing]] shaped like a mutated crustacean, and the assembled team deals with it - along with a [[species/raiken]] by the name of [[character/ravnir_star_treader|Ravnir]]. The Crustacean was dispatched with relative ease by the team, and the team retreated back to 55 Midway Beach to recuperate, meet Yttrium, and discuss further the goals of Phoenix Team and how to tackle the problems Gruppen Tanhauss are causing for sargasso. However, during the briefing the warehouse was raided by Broccoli Soldiers, engineered by Tanhauss.  | With the Broccoli soldiers splattered on many of the warehouse's surfaces and the cops coming in to investigate the racket, Luca found himself having to explain himself to the cops not once but //twice// as to why he's back on active service. A Unit interviewed Luca and Yttrium regarding the heroics and the construction of Phoenix Team, giving them the green light to operate within reason for Sargasso's wellbeing, and to fight back against Tanhauss' influence. |

The hawkers put Galacta Candy on a blacklist, attracting all sorts of trouble for the company - ranging from technical interference to theft. Cut to a couple of weeks later, and Luca is casing the Blue Sky Society's building in Sargasso's CBD, on the phone to Seiren. Midway through the conversation, a ram-raid by the Appachoppers occurs, and Luca hastily calls the Phoenix Team to Seiren's aid. After getting Galacta Candy back under control((With the aid of several MBFs composing Seiren's security team, bork bork.)), the team investigated the source of the truck used in the ram raid, and tracked it down to a self-storage facility on Hellion Overlook's outskirts - occupied by the Apachoppers. However, shortly after arriving, the team discovered that Driver was hiding in the facility with a mecha! | It was discovered that the Driver's Mecha was remotely piloted. Luca and Breyja were injured in the course of the fighting, and the EAD hysteria in the media reached a fever pitch in the wake of this incident. Gruppen Tanhauss is highly annoyed at the loss, but Kransky and Sons Self-Storage are grateful for driving the motorcycle gang away, and rewarded the team handsomely. |
+^ [[https://forum.wanderingstar.online/threads/phoenix-team-all-that-good.857/|All That Good]] | Luca, Breyja, Snuffles, Yttrium, Ravnir, Johnny | Immediately after **Because We Can**, Luca spends some time in recovery, taking in the sights and sounds and treating himself to some meals out and groceries. With the money he was rewarded and cash from other contracts, he contacts Johnny Longhands to meet him at the Heroes Armaments, and calls the team together to get them privy on a business deal and share a meal together to bond. | Luca purchased a [[spacecraft/fantail]] for the Phoenix Team to use, and contacted Elena to refurbish 55 Midway Beach with a hangar to store the new spacecraft. The construction is underway at this point, as Johnny hangs onto the spacecraft for him. |

Luca was quick to spring into action, and as he was preparing Jirou Harridan sent him a message stating that he too had heard of Driver being rampant - and would be sending an associate of his (former EAD 'Shadowcat') to assist Luca. | //Currently Underway...!// |
