Session 25 Aug 2008 - Arson Fire (1)The team recover from the assault of the "monsters" and call in the assault, they even let Ms Carter know that German has been injured and possibly infected. Ms Carter informs them that she is sending a team to collect him and to hold position until the Shiver team comes to seal the gate.
The engineering Shiver team arrive and ask the team to give them support while they set up the sentry guns, then they are clear to head back to Ms Carter's base of operations. While the team are getting their gear together and the Shivers are setting up the guns Stacey receives a communication from Station Analysis.
Red BNP
Lizzy calls Smith, who has only screen full of static as the video image and who's voice is distorted through computer modulation and is unable to determine if Smith is male or female.
The BPN is to find the SLA op somewhere in the containment zone and bring him out alive if possible. Once he has been located call Smith for extraction. A photo and description of Jimmy Long is transmitted to the squad.
The Shivers let the squad know that the gate will be sealed in 45 to 60 minutes, they'll also radio an update at 15 minute intervals. The squad leave the safety of the Gate area and head into the containment zone.
It's only a little way into the zone when the team encounter a Dark Night team headed by a Dark Night contract killer Mr Boomtime. Hand flamethrowers and grenades fly. Tinkerbell makes short work of two of the three Dark Night troopers, while Stacey downs the third with her trusty FEN 603. Harry, who was flamed by the final Dark Night terrorist checks the body and finds that somehow three of his fingers were broken when he fell over.
Lizzy and German head into the warehouse where the missing grenade tossing agent is hiding, they find him wearing a Clown styled set of power armour. Lizzy rushes him only to stand next to him while he squirts water into her face (nice Smarts Trick) and she stands around like a lemon while he makes his escape by climbing onto a container. German climbs the container and throws a powerdisc into the clowns back, this annoys him and he comes over and strikes him with his Carsonmade Industrial Nailer. Once this slap down has been administered Mr Boomtime again attempts to make his get away.
Stacey (who has a phobia of clowns - and I'm an evil GM) enters the building and spots Mr Boomtime on the container. Fighting her fear she snap fires a shot into her most feared foe, not even looking to see the effect of her shot before she runs out of the building. Lizzy has recovered by now and climbs the container to where German is stumbling about (shaken) and notices that Mr Boomtime is wired to explode! Quick thinking and fast moves get her leaping from a considerable explosion as Mr Boomtime is reduced to dust, along with Germans powerdisc. The only remains of Mr Boomtime they find is a battered horn that remarkably still works.
They hand one live and two dead Dark Night terrorists over to the Shivers along with the equipment they had. Then the squad make a quick search of the warehouse in case they can find some clues.
The search reveals a number of biological containment pods, large enough to hold a 313 Malice. Twenty of these pods are open, which is the same amount of "monsters" that attacked the squad earlier. There are however sixty more pods that have "monsters" inside them. They are all wired to explode, the clock having just 58 seconds remaining, and the pods have the corporate logo of
Caliban Enterprises. The squad scramble from the warehouse, Lizzy stealing a pick-up truck for transport as they do. They are all clear of the warehouse before the explosives detonate. The explosion is not huge it just destroys the biological pods and not the warehouse in total.
In the glove compartment of the pick-up truck Lizzy finds a Dark Night Pistol, a full packet of cigarettes and a book of matches from the Dirty Dragon Bar & Grill. The Squad head into the containment zone in the direction of the Dirty Dragon.
Orienta TownAs the squad get close to the Dirty Dragon they find a pedestrian road with a huge red gate painted with golden Orientan symbols. The road is rammed full with Orientals going about their normal daily lives, apparently unaware that they are in the middle of a containment zone which is due to be purged.
The squad make their way to the Dirty Dragon and are only hassled a little by the locals hawking their wares. At the Dirty Dragon Stacey mistakenly identifies Jimmy and approaches the man, he is not impressed by Stacey's advances and things take a distinctly chilly air. Lizzy on the other hand is making progress chatting to a bartender and discovers that their man may be working in the kitchens and going by the name of Linbin Jayn. A small bribe and a little intimidation later and Lizzy gets the address where Linbin is staying.
Harajuko TowersOutside the tower is a display of fireworks and a troup of acrobats doing a dragon dance, Harry and Tinkerbell go in the front door, the others take the fire escape all heading up to the fifth floor.
On the fire escape Stacey passes a couple having a heated argument, apparently he had a fling and she found out. As Lizzy passed she tells the couple that "
life's too short, just go inside and shag each others brains out." The woman says she is hardly going to do that when her boyfriend has just seduced her younger sister to which Lizzy tells the man "
Nice one!" This send the woman over the edge and she wrestles the pistol from the man's shoulder holster (that could be seen under his jacket). German sees the couple wresting for control of the gun when it goes off and the man drops like a sack of spuds. Before he gets a chance to pull a virbrodisc the woman is shooting at Lizzy's head as she walks up the fire escape. Her shots go wild and German silences her by throwing the vibrodisc into her back. It bursts out of her chest her slicing a large gash out of her torso like a hot knife through butter. The woman falls from the fire escape while German's vibrodisc slams into the wall opposite. The others get up to the fifth floor while he recovers his vibrodisc.
Stacey and Lizzy position themselves outside Jimmy's door, Lizzy knocks. A female voice answers and attempts to get them to leave, Lizzy isn't taking no for an answer and uses her 10-10 bullyboy as a key, blowing the lock and catching the woman in the blast. The squad rush in to find Jimmy with a 3rd Eye News cameraman being held hostage, the woman looks like a reporter who has lost a couple of fingers. Harry gives the passcode, Jimmy gives the correct response, Harry then tells Jimmy that the squad is there to evacuate him. Jimmy confirms that this is true then executes the reporter and the cameraman. As the cameraman falls to the floor the team can see that Jimmy has a gaping chest wound, they can clearly see his internal organs working hard to keep him alive. German gets in and medic's him up as much as he can. Stacey calls Smith and he tells them to head south, to Gate 17.
They all hustle back to the Pick-up, only to find some Dark Night troopers sniffing around it, they have the drop on them and take them out without any pain as an APC turns up with more Dark Night troops, this time the troops are armed with assault rifles and power armour. After a short bloody battle with lots of lead flying the squad emerge victorious. They load the bodies onto the APC and take it and the Pick-up to Gate 17.
Gate 17Smith is called when they reach the extraction point and before their eyes a Brain Waster clad in his Deathsuit walks through the wall. He tells the squad to gather close for extraction. Quickly they burn the guns and power armour they can't recover with a hand flamer. Then the world gives way as the Brain Waster folds space and time.
They find themselves in a room with a set of wooden stairs, the Brain Waster tells them they have 10 minutes to vacate the property then Fold's away with Jimmy.
BNP complete (both the Red and Blue)The squad make their way home, get their armour repaired and resupply ammunition. In general they make ready for the next BPN.
