Vincent dispatches the next man. Don't let stupid morals choose for you, he thinks bitterly.

Ferret fires his pistol at one of the others hopeful that they will finally get to a reasonably safe set of circumstances. He too felt bad, but only for a second. It was his skin or theirs. A simple choice.

Even with the quick dispatch of your enemies, it's still close work getting off the island in time. The entire thing is sinking; it seems that Zane has made a submarine that can hide itself as a naturally occurring island - at least to an extent. As you pull away from shore, there's an undercurrent coming from the sinking sub that threatens to pull you back under, but just as you're about to capsize, it's gone.

However, as you make your escape, you can't help but wonder where Zane will pop up next, and whether the world will be ready for him.

Holding to the side of their boat and trying not to fall as the boat rocks wildly in the wake of the sinking island, Vincent looks at Zane's ingenious vehicle. I'll be damned... where does he get those cool toys?... and the funds to get them?!

"Gotta hand it to him. That's pretty damn amazing. Wow." Ferret grips the boat with white knuckled hands as they are buffeted about in the current.

There's not much left to do but to set your beacon and wait. There's fuel in the boats, but which way exactly is the nearest shore? It's dicey to guess. An hour and a half later, the water whips itself into a fury under the beat of a Sikorsky Seahawk. You're bundled aboard and ferried back to the mainland, and by the (very long) end of a very long day, you're in front of your handler for debriefing.

The questions are perfunctory, and it seems that while they wish you'd been able to do more, they also know that with the limited time you were given and the lack of resources, you weren't exactly able to operate like you wish you'd been able to.

There's little question but that Zane will turn up again, somewhere. All you can do is to be ready.
OOC:
That was a deliberately short mission, as it was one of the intro scenarios. If you're up for it, I'll do a more involved one. I'm also going to kick you up to level 3, because I forgot how few options beginning characters actually have in the 3.5-related systems. I can help you build in discord if needed.

I think I'll stop here, thanks - got a nice taster of this classic gaming system, and enjoyed playing with you all - thanks for running it, @Falconloft !

Nice to have you Dr_B! If we get at least one more, WhtKnt, I'll keep going, otherwise, we'll just leave it here and see if the future brings it around again.
