 |  **33**  | A very important businessman has rented out an entire floor of a local hotel. Journalists are trying to find out who they are, and what they're doing here. |
 |  **34**  | A famous scientist is here to do a holovid series. They are looking to hire a crew to take them to the outer system to do some scenes on a comet. |
-|  **35**  | In the coming weeks, there's going to be a round-the-system race with a weight limit of 10t, with a considerable prize for the winner. Several of the contenders are here already and pre-race parties are common nights as the pilots show off their racers, and prepare for several months of enforced isolation. |

 |  **36**  | The //Den of Depravity// is a converted subsidized liner that travels the sector, hosting lavish, over the top parties at the systems it visits. Getting an invite to such a party is seen as a high priority by many. If you can't afford the high entrance fee, then other alternatives are winning one of the various competitions or lotteries they make available, or some are simply invited for being seen as 'interesting'. |
 |  **41**  | There was a very brief distress call from a ship that popped out of jump space in the outer system. It didn't last long enough to get an identification, and now it's gone quiet. |

 |  **43**  | Flashes of light were seen in the outer system, about 70-100AU distant. They must have been bright to be seen over that distance, but nobody knows what caused them. |
 |  **44**  | Unusual radio broadcasts have been picked up from the outer system. The broadcasts are encrypted, using an unknown cypher. |
-|  **45**  |  The system has picked up some large jump signatures in the outer solar system, suggesting that large vessels have dropped out of jump but have no gone quiet. No transponder signals have been picked up, and there's been no obvious signs of ships. |

 |  **46**  | The pirate ship //Taxation is Theft// attacked and disabled the merchant cruiser //Rebecca Daisy//, killing several crew. There is now a bounty for the capture of the captain, preferably alive. |
 |  **51**  | A local archaeologist is trying to sell some alien artefacts he claims to have dug up on a world in the system. They are crystals with unusual markings on them, which he says have some psionic activity. |

 |  **56**  | A local smuggling ring has just been busted by the authorities, and most of those involved are imprisoned. However, there's still some goods that are unaccounted for, and for a small price someone might just know where they are. It's not as if there's anyone left to be able to make use of them. |
 |  **61**  | There's a certain spot in the system, trailing one of the outer worlds, where it's possible to pick up thoughts and memories of past events. It matches to a disaster that happened about a century ago in that region, and it's thought to be a psionic echo of the event. The cause of the disaster was never known, so there may be clues to the event. |
+|  **62**  | A gambler who has been winning regularly recently at some of the casinos around the starport has been accused of being a telepath and cheating at the games. They were beaten up and kicked out of the casino, but haven't been found since. |
+|  **63**  | One of the warehouses at the starport is said to be haunted, and many security guards have been refusing to work there. This means it is not only short staffed, but the guards who do take on position there might be unwilling to investigate unexpected noises. |
+|  **64**  | A ship, the //Laughing Hat Maker//, came out of jump a few weeks back and just sat there, not answering any hails. A team went to investigate, and found that all six of the crew were dead and there was no sign of any of the registered passengers. It's still seating at the starport and nobody is quite sure what to do with it. |
+|  **65**  | Over the past six weeks, three different ships have reported seeing strange apparitions aboard their ship in the hours leading up to exit for jump space into the system. In each case, it was a young human woman with green hair who seemed to be silently shouting something. As soon as the observer looked away, she was gone. |
+|  **66**  | Several bodies have disappeared from the local morgue recently. They were later reported to have been seen walking around star town. Nobody knows whether this is some elaborate con, and if so, what the point of it is. |
