Distress Call

The Washington arrives in the Pyritius system, responding to a distress call from the mining facility on Pyritius IV. The mining facility has multiple particle fountains in use orbiting seven different planets and moons in the system, as well as physical facilities, including a refining facility on an orbiting base. Arriving in the system, things are eerily quiet and get crazier when they approach the station/refinery and the larger particle fountains.
