Hostile/Zaibatsu Rpg Hybrid Campaign -The Silent City -

This session picks up from DM Paul's Highwayman campaign from July of 2024. The PC's were called in to test a strange alien gateway device that had been found on Europa. 
 So tonight I was fooling around with my players using the Hostile/Zaibaitsu rpg rules and dropped a group of Blackguard mercenaries into an alien city called The Silent City. This was a one shot adventure in the middle of a campaign  that dropped the PC's right into the thick of it. The party had armor, plenty of ammo, and equipment to find alien artifacts and get out. 

The Silent City is an other dimensional city of eternal night where there are lights and power but zero inhabitants at least those you can see. There are strange energy or spirit creatures. The biggest hazard!?! The other party or gang of adventurers and did I mention that the place was booby trapped with odd alien technology. And ten minutes in we had one of our players die by a strange antimatter artifact. He winked outta of existence failing a skill roll while wanting to activate it. 

The party's psi scout detected life in one of the buildings and almost got her head eaten by an alien bug. Did I mention that the bug was seven foot tall and covered in bio mechanical armor?! 

Two of  the party manage to find a strange weapon or tool and stashed it into one of their bags. The second thing that they found was a metal ring on it which turned out had the cure for cancer on it. 
The party explored two thirds of alien city and then they ran into a matter transmitter that sent them down into an underground location. Things got interesting as they began to explore this location. And then the party was teleported back into the alien city. 

Zaibatsu/ Hostile Rpg Campaign -The Highwayman Murder! Session Report

 "There is a world, just beyond now, where reality runs a razor-thin seam between fact and possibility; where the laws of the present collide with the crimes of tomorrow. Patrolling these vast outlands is a new breed of lawman, guarding the fringes of society’s frontiers, they are known simply as ‘Highwaymen’... and this is their story.."
The party is on route to 'Dust Bowl Arizona' on thier way under a contract to help Dwayne Desmond a Highwayman whose investigation comes from a cargo from Cyclops. 
  The radioactive cargo has sickened two different towns Desmond went missing. Because the United States Police Force has been so stretched thin. They've called in the PC's 'the September Group'. 

'Dust Bowl' has a corporate cop shop handling it's security & small town infrastructure. The Dust Bowl police have impounded Dwayne's truck & have been holding him in a specially designed jail cell set up originally by a minor corporation that pulled out. 'Dust Bowl' police are blaming Dwayne for the deaths. 

The Highwaymen are the last gasp of the federal marshal program which has been absorbed by the United States Police force. The Highwaymen organization has been updated with corporate weaponry,equipment, and special vehicles. They operate as federal agents, inspectors, agents, and special cargo specialists. 
We got to Dust Bowl & ran smack into 'The Devil's Forsaken' gang who were convinced that Dwayne was a clone! 

We were allowed to see Dwayne & busted him out of the special cell only to have him turn on our party! He managed to kill two of our number before the 'Devil's Forsaken agents took him out! Dwayne actually was a renagade clone who had murdered the real Dwayne two months ago! A code read of the clone's pupils proved it!
We went to the secondary objective which was the truck and the cargo. 'Dust Bowl's police wanted to keep it. Our Federal contract had the vehicle as the secondary objective. We checked the cargo and it was not radioactive! However there was radioactive generator that had been placed aboard! 
Before shooting commenced we satdown with the corporate cops and showed them our contract. Truck & cargo secured! We headed out! We're a hundred miles outside of Dust Bowl and then we get attacked by two Rhinos! 
This is where we ended on a cliff hanger by DM Paul!  
Notes - This entire game was based on Eighties cultclassic NBC tv show 'The Highwayman' & we took the entire concept and dropped it into our Zabibatsu/Hostile rpg campaign.
