Chapter One: An Abduction!

May 9, 2022 1:15 pm
It's August 1st 109 PA, and it's a hot and humid summer day in Northern Arkansas. You all are spending the day resupplying in Drellin's Ferry, a high traffic trading post. It's the sort of place that attracts a dozen new faces a day, and watching your back is mandatory. Officially governed by no one, the peace is fragile, but the deals and information are good. You've been on patrol for two weeks now, and the chance for fresh food and a breather was too good to pass up.

All of a sudden Cassiopeia's radio crackles with static. It's tuned to an official Tomorrow Legion emergency channel, so whoever is broadcasting must be a comrade in arms and in trouble. "This is Emilio Hernandez with a Communications Infrastructure Team broadcasting a DEFCON 3 emergency. We are under attack by... STATIC... I repeat... STATIC... need immediate assistance. We are at Radio Relay Tower Beta 12. Repeat... STATIC... slavers... need... STATIC assistance."

Mendel scratch his head.

An attack ? That can't be good ! Shall we go and put our lives in the balance to help them ?

I-So looks over towards Cass, "That tower isn't to far off is it?" I-So has been helping other people more and more the more time he's spent away from his parents it's led him to realize that life wasn't as easy as it had been for him, many people who had been born like him would have died, but his family had everything and that meant they had the ability to save his life, because of that he was not less healthy than the average person but instead more and so even away from the support of his parents money once he put in effort he'd done well enough to get more than he needed he'd realized he was lucky and so he'd tried to help others.

"Slavers..." I-So knew they existed but he had no Idea what they we're like.

"I'm Headed out! who's coming with me?"
May 9, 2022 1:38 pm
Of course, I'm coming with you! I wouldn't dream of letting you go alone I-So.

And Mendel follows as fast as he can I-So.

Lanval was waiting to served at a dubious meat-on-a-stick stall but the moment Emilo's name is mentioned he bolts out of line to join the others. "If Emilo says he needs help, it must be a serious assault. He can usually take care of himself. Let's get moving."

If we know anything about Radio Relay Tower Beta 12 and what is between us and it, please fill us in.

The tower is twenty miles to the south through some light woods. You all are mounted on NG-480 Turbo Combat Hoverbikes, and can reach the relay tower in minutes. The bikes are equipped with a double barrel heavy laser on a swivel ball under the nose. You're also equipped with any small arms and personal armor of your choice. And we can assume you have survival gear and provisions for long patrols.

"Twenty miles to the south through some light woods. Let's ride!" Cass glowers at the idea of attack. It had been peaceful.

She powers the bike and waits for the others. When it's clear they've heard her as the call for help, she triggers her psi-armor, ready for a storm.

Lanval swings onto the seat of his bike and nods to Cassiopeia. He takes a moment to trigger three runes on his clothes to activate a personal force armor.

I-So practically is his own armor, but he hops aboard his bike, calling it a NG-480 wouldn't technically be wrong but it certainly wouldn't be right either the amount of modification he had done to it just to make it so he could ride it, plus the fact that it seemed to have been around for longer than they'd been making NG-480's made it stand out but also because the laser had certainly been replaced.

Aboard the bike I-So looks from side to side "This It?" he asks he'd expected a greater portion of the population to have a good heart but he supposed greed was easy when you didn't have enough.

Mondel keeps to himself but follows the rest with good speed.

You speed through the woods, over a stream, and onto an open plain. 1000 feet away is the radio relay tower, stretching one hundred feet into the sky. Before it is a fiery wreck of an ATV, around which lay several bodies, some burned, some with wounds from an energy weapon. As you pull up, a floating vehicle hovers above the ground in front of a full conversion cyborg. Several figures on the floating platform are firing plasma weapons at him. With what sounds like a final scream the borg falls under the withering barrage. Off in the distance another platform is moving away at approximately fifty miles an hour.

"That's a Splugorth slave ship! Take it down! We can't let it get free with it's prisoners!"

CC Rides the bike straight for it, preparing to fire her heavy laser at the gunmen.

"Target the shields and the Warrior Women. Without its toys the slaver is comparatively weak." Lanval approaches the slave ship falling back a bit as he takes his hands off the controls to summon the forces of his magic against the slavers.
OOC:
I am attempting to create an advantage to create the Aspect "Slowed by Temporal Magic" on the slave barge using my temporal magic stunt. I believe that is +4 for lore with a +2 from the stunt. I've included a roll but if I have any of that wrong let me know.

Rolls

Temporal Magic Stunt

2 Positive, 0 Blank, 2 Negative - Total: +0 (+6) = +6

OOC:
Fate Condensed uses elective action order to determine who takes their turn when in an exchange. It works like this. We all decide who goes first, then that person chooses who goes next, and then they choose who's next, and so on. Is everyone okay with Lanval taking the first action?
May 10, 2022 9:39 am
OOC:
Also, are CC and Lanval targeting the barge that's firing on the cyborg or the one that's getting away?

OOC:
I was targeting the one firing on the borg.

I-So stares out at the ship, it's Incredible but it's shooting down someone, so I-So responds quickly mental Image already in his mind I-So does a few quick calculations 'flight path in 10 second will move them px-v distance and my flight path should put me... txv ahead of...' he turns at the last moment hoping to get the right flight path to board the ship, as long as I didn't get any math wrong this should work he tells himself over and over as he flies through the air for what seems like minutes.
OOC:
Attempting to create an advantage by Being aboard their ship, if you don't like academics for that roll choose whatever you think fits best.

Rolls

Academics

1 Positive, 1 Blank, 2 Negative - Total: -1 (+4) = +3

Sorry it is somewhat a mess, whose turn is it, there doesn't seems to be any order.

Copying our GM's post:

So, we decide who goes first as group. I am suggesting that you let Lanval go first to put an aspect on the Splurgoth that the rest of you can take advantage of. If anyone else has a different suggestion, feel free to say so.

I'm great with Lanvel going first.
