Hostile Rpg Session - Hide & Seek - Session Report III

  At our next drop zone I started to think about upping the odds when it came to Tau Ceti. The situation with China being pushed out it's own interstellar colony world isn't going to stand. What would China actually do in a corporate controlled universe?! Answer? They'd park two large warships off Tau Ceti and then let nature take it's course. This game session picks right up where we left off here last session. 

Oh if you want to look at panic on a party's face. This was it. The USS Franklin a Harbringer starship was caught out in the open with her pants down. This was a crew with zero weaponry aboard and starring down two warships. The Franklin continued onto her next drop zone & supplied the farm equipment, ammo, and sundries to the next colony drop point. The U.S.S. Franklin had succeeded in her real mission. 

The Chinese wanted to seize control of the planetary colonies and were getting ready to do a full assault accept for the fact that the PC's had delivered nukes to a colony city on Tau Ceti. The Americans were willing to blew thier own city off of the face of the planet if the Chinese didn't back off. And they have a nuclear bomb in one of the Chinese cities. There is a stale mate for the moment. 
The Franklin's crew were unaware of the corporation doing this to them BTW. Is it any wonder the cyborg agent attacked them!? One of our other DM's in this case DM Peter is handling the Chinese and thier interests at the moment. This is where we ended in tonight's game. 

Hostile Rpg Session - Hide & Seek - Session Report II

 Tonight's Hostile game was a 'cat & mouse' operation between the crew and the Chinese agent from Tau Ceti who was much more then he appeared to be. The crew blew an air lock near space onto thier next port of call on Tau Ceti. This guy wasn't at all what he appeared to be. The crew were operating &  aboard the USS Franklin a Harbinger frieghter undercutting the competition. This game session picks right up where we left off last session here. 

The crew knew we had an agent on board who wanted to get to the next port of call. His weight gave the crew everything they needed to know because the guy was a full conversion borg. While rare they were not unheard of on Tau Ceti. The war had been intensifying along the old boarders. And Chinese were getting desparate. At any rate last game we'd taken some fire after landing were leaving fast! 

We had no idea of this guy's cababilities & we weren't taking any chances. Everyone suited up and we made checks to make sure the cargoes both alive and otherwise were secure. And then we went high into the upper atmosphere of Tau Ceti. And opened the entire ship to vaccuum. That's right we weren't taking any chances with this bastard! 
Our sky marshal saw this guy crawling across the floor space in our cargo hold. Without a second though he shot the guy with three shots and then a small grenade that blew the bastard out! The resulting explosion rocked the ship. With a series of great rolls our pilot kept control of the Franklin! 

The Chinese cyborg agent was carrying a rather large bomb on him! If we hadn't found it. He would have blown himself and our ship up! Checks were done and we continued on our way to our next drop zone. 

Hostile Rpg Session - Hide & Seek - Session Report

 During tonight's Hostile game the players were playing Crew Expendable PC's including an 'air marshal' PC who was aboard as they were delivering ammo to Tau Ceti for the American corporation's forces. They were aboard the USS Franklin a Harbinger frieghter undercutting the competition. 

They were bringing back exo specimens for examination as the planet enters it's hot period. Warfare and battles also escalate during these periods as well. Things on Tau Ceti have been heating up over the past few months as tensions between East & Western corporate forces have intensified along the older battle lines. 

We've seen this play out as cartel forces are no longer there to keep a sorta of cease fire where they can make money from illict trade in the lower delta valley trails. We were landing at the American base/warehouse district and everything seemed to be five by five. The Franklin came in heavy & we started unloading immediately 

The fire came in immeditely & we knew it had to be Chinese agents! We had side arms because we were in a warzone. We had gotten over 70% of the exo specimens aboard including our must have special cargos. We cut way back on the prelaunch & got the Hell outta of there!We were carrying extra weight & that meant that we had a Chinese agent aboard! 

Now began the fun! As we had just refueled and were preparing for our next stop. We opened our guest's section of the ship & with some great rolls he was sucked into the Tau Ceti atmosphere or so we thought. 

Angels Above & Demons Below - Hostile/Kosmos 68 Game Session Report Two

 This blog post is going to pick right up from this session on May 14th here on the blog.  Having gotten the Soviet's robot memory banks picked clean the PC's find out that the PC's may have been exposed to a necrovirus! 

The PC's had to deal with a street contact between them and the underworld corporates that represented the syndicates on Abysss. So the Soviets in last night's games left behind a surprise in the form of a necrovirus aboard the wreckage that the PC's explored which meant dumping a ton of gear for decom & disposial. And the PC's have been dealing with a rather shady character named  Baosheng, a veteran Snakehead operating in the Off-World colony of Abyss. Dealing with the PC's hackers the design of the necrovirus is actually a  Chinese corporate creation left behind to discredit the Soviets on the colony world. It also hints at a possible all out war! During last week's game the players felt as if they were going up against  the Soviet SSB. And they actually were! Thier street samurai hired bodyguards reported to them that they were being cased out! At stake on Abyss is the fact that the Russians months ago have entered the fray on the side of the Chinese corporations as mercenaries.
High above Abyss sits the Orca a corporate Rokke Class Research Vessel that belongs to the head of the Science division of the Matsuyama corporation. No one is sure why he's there and his vessel is several technological levels above other Hostile starships. The vessel & her crew are all hand made and hand picked.  
Suddenly the PC's and the Soviets were surround by the corporate forces of the Matsuyama corporation! Both camps were escorted aboard a shuttle and whisked up into the bowels of the the Orca a corporate Rokke Class Research Vessel. Cloths were stripped and burnt, weapons were decomtaminated, and the PC's were checked over. 15 hours later the PC's were given the all clear!! 
 

The Chinese corporate forces had set up both the Soviets & the PC's. The PC's noticed that the shuttle they had ridden in was being hosed down as well. They were taken too the head of the the Science division of the Matsuyama corporation. And the Soviet psychics were allowed into the conference. Both sides were given information packs in order to avoid a interstellar corporate incident. They were told that the Colony worlds were burning and  the Matsuyama corporation wants to buy thier contracts in order to head off a mini interstellar war on Abyss. There's far more going on here then meets the eye.  

Angels Above & Demons Below - Hostile/Kosmos 68 Game Session Report

 Tonight our group got together for a round of our Hostile/Kosmos 68 game campaign where we found our party on Abyss doing a bit of black OP's against the Soviets. 

High above Abyss sits the Orca a corporate Rokke Class Research Vessel that belongs to the head of the Science division of the Matsuyama corporation. No one is sure why he's there and his vessel is several technological levels above other Hostile starships. The vessel & her crew are all hand made and hand picked. 

At stake on Abyss is the fact that the Russians months ago have entered the fray on the side of the Chinese corporations as mercenaries. No one is sure why the Russians are there except to shore up support for the Chinese criminal sydicates and act as ore pirates. 
So our little party's mission is to figure out how deep the Soviet influence runs. We're serving aboard two submarines while running interference on largest island city. Our runners are plugged into the local grid while we've hired local street samurai to act as bodyguards. 
The players in tonight's game felt as if they were facing down the Soviet SSB & think that there might be far more going on below the waters of Abyss. During tonight's game the party almost bought it when some of the local wildlife decided to give them a bit of a scare and turn. 

What the player's PC's found tonight didn't help thier love of the Soviets in our Abyss campaign. The PC's were able to find a bouy that the Soviets had left behind in Chinese controlled terrority. They dived on the spot with thier submarines and found a Soviet wreck on the bottom. What they came across is a wreckage of submarine sitting on a deep underwater reef. And in tonight's game they recovered the remains of a Soviet robotic unit. The party's technician was able to do a brain & memory bank recovery. And now the party is on it's way back to port to bring the memory bank into a cybernetic expert in the capital city. Meanwhile  corporate eyes are watching from above!
