Subject: no combat experience


While most of your characters have no combat experience, you can try to think like your opponent and work on that basis.

Now I have no combat experience but I would think you want to work on the basis of hitting them and running, hitting them and running. So you want to have several fall back position. Wolf with machine guns and Asher in the hills covering him.

They can't use scatter gun, kill anything that moves tactics. Remember what it is they want and use it to your advantage. hell, strapping the silver case to Wolf or Asher might scare them a little.

Does that help?

Subject: Trouble with a capital T and that rhymes with G and that stands for Ghost


Jon had expected to hear more about security issues…assassins…bounty hunters…kidnappers and other concerns from Miss Fairchild’s companion. When he had seen the sway of Asante’s hips a small alarm went off in his head.. this wasn’t going to be a security talk. Then when she said, “I am not much of a person for flirting or being coy” he was about to interrupt her. But that was when she turned dropping her jacket and exposing herself to him. He stunned by her beauty. The words of her proposition roll over him as he found it impossible to remove his eyes from her. Then as she leaned in to him he caught her wrists and stepped back. “Miss Chang… I… I….I have a firm rule that my crew cannot fraternize with the passenger…. And to be honest..I am not available to spend the time with you.“

He quickly turned. “But …if you are looking for someone to help you pass the time perhaps that fellow AJ could fill the bill.” and found himself face to face with Stephanie who had just entered the room. She had her arms crossed under her chest and had an expression of mixed shock and disapproval.

(Assuming some stammering and stuttering)

Asante was shocked at the Captain's refusal and more than a bit embarrassed to have another woman walk in on them. She hotly exclaimed, "You have your mother on board? that is really strange. You own a ship but live with your mother."

Stephanie's look turned icy and dangerous and suddenly Jon wished he was anywhere but on this ship, in this room. "Cover yourself dear. You'll find that most men prefer their gifts wrapped."

Asante grabbed her jacket and swore under her breathe as she threw it on.

"I am Dr. Stephanie Young. Tell me, was hiring a double to masquerade as Lilianna your idea?"

"What?"

"The double. There is a press gallery following Lilianna right now as she makes her way to the yacht for her journey to the cruise liner."

"Oh... That would be the Baron's idea. Not mine. With the threat of kidnapping and such he decide to take rather elaborate precautions. Not a good double either, she is too old, voice is all wrong and she is about three cup sizes bigger."

"Ahh. Well they are saying she has a cold. As to the cup size, no one has noticed but prehaps they were too occupied with yours."

Asante grit her teeth and looked ready to fly at Stephanie but the doctor turned and grabbed Jon by the arm. "Well that is all I needed to know. We will leave you now in your pursuit of a bed warmer."

Stephanie did not say anything until she was out of the room and down the stairs. She then turned to Jon, "Firm rule? You are not available?"

(Some explanation)

"It is okay Jon, I saw you put her off. Well I have to say you handled that well. but what is this about Kidnapping? What are we into now Jon?"


*Meanwhile*

Catie moved to her quarters before she dared look at the now that Lilianna has pressed into her hand. She read it a few times, even though it was a short note and then said aloud, "Aiya."

She moved to the kitchen and started to fumble with a serving tray while making a plan in her head to make tea when she heard a noise. It was sorta like a venting oof gas or air. At the sound she turned around.

There, in the galley was a white figure of a woman wearing a formal dress. She wasn't very clear, more like a ghost than a person. A woman in white that seemed to be looking at Catie with a look of concern and care. Then the figure reached out her hand as if to touch Catie and then the figure disappeared like so much gossamer in the wind.

The inner room is cooler than the sauna but overall, still warm to the skin. The pool is clean and inviting but there is no movement within and you can see to the bottom that nothing seems to reside there.

The curtains are a solid blue from this side, making it impossible to see through them. The only way to see what is in the rooms beyond is to pull the curtain back or walk through one.

Asante walked into the room and put her bag down on the floor by the bed. She then reached up to her hair and started pulling out the pins in her hair, letting it all come down slowly as she talked.

“Captain. Let me get straight to the point then. I am not much of a person for flirting or being coy. I find things work a whole lot better when people are open and honest with each other, and I want to be open and honest with you.”

Her hair now sultrily down around her shoulder, she comes very close to the Captain, looking up into his eyes as she fiddles with the buttons of her jacket, the smell of her perfume filling Jon’s senses, “We have five days to go before we reach the other ship and I would like to spread as much time with you, here in this room, writhing in as much pleasure as we can give each other. I am not looking for a relationship, just sex and lots of it until we reach port.” She removes her jacket and tosses it aside, revealing a see through chamois underneath and a whole lot of promise.

She moves to kiss Jon.

The Church of Jeff Kay

The church of Jeff Kay believes that Jeff Kay was a former President of the United States back on Earth that was. He was assassinated while on the way to make a book deposit and yet somehow no one knew who killed him or why. But according to church doctrines, evil servants of Satin called republicants were behind the plot. According to the church prophesy, Jeff Kay would return during a time of crisis and lead his faithful against the republicants. The Church draws a lot of followers who are down on their luck, not well educated, hate the alliance and usual stick to border planets. They are considered a thread by alliance as they tend to stockpile weapons to fight the Republicant war on day.

How could I kill off my favourite playboy gunslinger? Relax! What is the worst that can happen?

On the note of the future ...

Archangel has sent me a pilot for the game so I have a replacement for Tess.

The next campaign I have planned is entitled "Who Mourns for Adonis" and it will the first one that is entirely written by me. It will be a series of short adventures based on a central premise. Adonis is a planet developed for agriculture and it was the first "bread basket" planet created with the goal to feed the systems as they developed. It has been around since the beginning of colonization, one of the planets that took well to terraforming and thrived.

But no more. The plant life slowly started to to wither on Adonis and a plant disease called "The Blight" spread. No one knew why but attempts to use fertilizers and sprays only made things worse. Alliance eggheads came in with a solution that was gonna fix everything but in the end, they just sped up the process and made the disease terminal.

So Adonis is being evacuated. Ships are being granted bounty by the head for pulling people off the planet and alliance ain't running anyone beacons or asking questions. In about 30 days, the planet will be unable to sustain life.

Ain't really an issue for you and yours until Dodger, your old contact and job finder calls you asking straight up for a favour. Seems his teenage niece got involved with some boy from Adonis and she ended up going with him to the family farm. Except it ain't no farm and it ain't no family either. It is some cult that is holding out on Adonis expecting this to be a sign of the second coming of some savior of their beliefs. So Dodger wants you to go to Adonis and do whatever it takes to find his niece and get her out. The fool boy too if necessary. He is willing to pay well and remember the favour.

Subject: Ba ba ba da ba ba ba da ......


Time is not our friend.....

It was a plan, after a few changes and input from the crew and hashed out a few times. But in its essences was.

Put the passengers and non-combatants into the caves. Have them and Matherson look for Mole (Willow, John, Ma, and Jessie)

Wyatt, Asher and Wolf stay outside to draw mercs into a guerrilla style combat and protect Roc.

Tess flies shuttles to use the missile against the Merc ship. After that she either lands and joins fighting or flies interference until she is shot down.

Use bombs around the ship to kill off as many mercs as possible. Let Asher and Wolf go wild with automatic weapons. Use the anesthetic from the infirmary - attached to the fire suppression system in the cargo bay to knock out a few as well.


The bodies of the three mercenaries were brought to Willow and John who hastily opened up their skulls and took at look. There were fragments within the brain, and at first John was not hopeful of being able to salvage much from them. Then the second and third had different fragments and between the three he found enough of a micro-receiver that he was beginning to think that maybe if he was really smart, and he was really smart, he could rebuilt it.. He took the fragments and started to work with them at once.

Wolf examined the armour of the two soldiers in hope to use the it but both had received enough damage to crack or severely damage the plating within. Furthermore, when Wolf was examining the armour, he realized that it had a tracking tags built throughout the armour as well. This would mean the mercs would know exactly where he was if he wore it and it would take too long to extract all the tag from the armour at this point.

Asher and Jessie worked together to plan the bombs in a pattern around the ship as Asher beset thought the Mercs would approach. If they did as was most likely, these would serve well. John and Wolf quickly rigged up a wireless transmitter but the haste meant that it was an all or nothing deal when the button was pressed.

Tess worked with the young men and loaded the decoy missile now loaded with explosives into the drop bay of the shuttle, Decoy missiles were designed to be dropped and fly so as long as she was in a straight path to the target, it should fly clean. Sheldon rigged a magnetic guide to the head of the missile but warned it wasn't really strong enough to be relied upon.

Ma changed into her pink suit of armour and armed with Bessy, was ready to head to the caves with the others. Her and Wyatt briefly had a silent standoff both knowing what the other was thinking. She wanted to stay and fight. He wanted her in the caves to deal with the traitor. They had been together so long, watching each other but in the end, Ma relented with a single nod and hugged Wyatt like she was never going to see him again.

Willow checked in on her patients. Havelock was up and managed to put on his military jacket over the bandages that she had put to prevent the wounds from opening again. Amber was awake and moving, drink water from a metal cup that Havelock had filled for her. The two had been talking quietly when Willow came in and Amber looked more steady than she had been since walking onboard Rocinante (was it 12 hours ago?). "I really screwed things up this time didn't I Willow? I mean Doctor ... Willow"

(assuming Willow will talk to patients. Havelock pleads fit as a fiddle and Amber feels she is able to walk now and be able to control her urges. Havelock looks to get away to fight again)

Havelock finds the Captain as they are making preparation. " Captain. Don't let the uniform fool you, I can still take orders and I place myself under your command. Give me a weapon and tell me how I can serve you best?"

(If there is objection) "Captain, I appreciate your intention but I have had my dance card punched with Death for awhile now. She knows me, I know her. Let me go fighting to the end, not hiding and waiting for her. I will not let you down."

As Jessie waits to go to the cave, she asks Asher about that gun he offered before. "Preferably something easy to shoot. I wasn't planning on going to a shoot out this morning!"

John is the last to be ready for the transport to the cave. He managed to put together the receiver from the parts and it powered up when he added juice. He smiled satisfactorily and then carefully packed up everything to head to the cave with the others. There he would start to work on the signal.

LV-426, Rocinante Cargo Bay, 12:45 pm PT

The radio crackled and sparked to life.

"Approaching target. Vector 12 on final decent." A feminine voice calls out.

"Oh Honey. Everyone in position. We are going in hot and all our calls will be early."

"Should nuke it from above." A grim voice says.

"What was that!" A harsh voice calls in anger.

"Marv just said this should be fun." Another man's voice responds.

"Cut the chatter! Ground troops with stunners only. Everyone else small arms only! You hear me Hartigan! Better not see than cannon of yours."

"Wouldn't dream of it Boss. Can barely lift it anyway, old man like me."

"Keep the channel clear for essential comm only."

Then the radio goes silent.

BOOM
BOOM
BOOM


The sonic booms of three ships crash through the atmo. The ship sensors picks up the ASREV first, followed by a CL-54 Cargo Lifter (with a mag lift that could easily pick up Rocinante). Then a large ship comes within range. A Victoria Class Corvette - used by special forces in the war to move troops discreetly from planet to planet. It is capable of holding 50 troops plus a command crew as well. A lot of fire power and a lot of soldiers.

The party has officially started.

OOC: Other than the ones in the cave - I need positions, equipment and intentions as the ships come down. If I missed something, let me know. If you are vague, I will assume and you know what happens then.
