The Silk Abbey

venue

Overview

On of the most popular drinking establishment on MacMillian Station IV, its a cover for the brothel that earns the madame Samina Ventura the most of her income. Each “private” room is named to try to bring it some high class status, but this place would be a low quality establishment if not for the other company it keeps. Inside it plays warmer and more upscale than its exterior suggests — a Middle-Eastern aesthetic, with a high-roller upper level where the real money moves.

Points of Interest

Appearances

• Session 1 (Session 01 - The Ragged Edge of Space) — The crew’s second stop on their night out. Madam Samina Ventura’s house comped each of them a complimentary service — the same kickback culture running through the whole Entertainment District. On the upper level, Station Manager Wilton Agramunt sat with two women, signing documents Solveig Kaufer pressed on him without reading them. Rock Lavey clocked patrons discreetly using illicit substances — mostly libido enhancers, a few closer to a dangerous amphetamine — with no notice from staff or security.
• Session 4 (Session 04 - The Case of the Missing Courtesan) — The session’s social hub, visited three times. The crew came here on their R&R; Pia Kadyrov followed them and was turned away at the door by the bouncers. Inside, Samina Ventura approached Shackleton Magellan privately and hired the crew to find her missing courtesan Brianna Melvin. The crew returned to interview the women who had attended the Royale Hotel party — McKenna among them — and returned a third time to report their findings and take payment.

Session 2 — The MacMillian Anomaly

Peter Goodwin was entertained here during his station visit; Shackleton Magellan spotted the station manager’s assistant Solveig Kaufer sitting at a careful distance, taking unusually detailed notes on the encounter. See Session 02 - The MacMillian Anomaly.
