Graduation Day

"Like I said Marine, need to know basis, but if you need names, call me Mr. Black. this is Mr. Grey..."

He turns to point to the man behind him to his right.

"And this is Mrs. White..."

He then turns to point to the woman behind him to his left.

"Now lucky for us, the kidnapped Dominion Citizen in question is so important that their parents had him chipped in case of kidnapping for ransom or some shit. Influential parents and all that crap... Turns out it's really convenient when you get kidnaped by freaks for your organs. Now that's how we found them. The real question now would be how the fuck do you know about them being here..."

Then turning to Richter.

"Fuck you and fuck your math quiz asshole! Save your bullets for the freaks inside Marine!"

Mr. Black then points to the habitat.

Mr. Black then turns to Melena.

"You messed with the ship, so yeah, they know we're here. Just touching it sets a silent alarm. Trust me, we've dealt with those freaks before. And since they know we can't do shit to their ship, they'll be waiting for us inside. No need to come out after us... So we need to find a way to get that airlock open, and once we do, we need to be ready because we'll be having a fight on our hands. So, is anyone of you a techie? See if they can jimmy that airlock somehow? We have to avoid explosive decompression or else our Dominion Citizen is dead...

Richter tries to contact HQ, but all he gets is Captain Jo "Tornado" Delham...

"What's the matter? Do you need emergency evac?"

That is when Richter remembers the inauguration speech given at the ceremony... Yeah, right, the brass don't like being bothered by ripples.At AJ's suggestion, Mr. Black merely grunts and turns to Mr. Grey.

"You heard the lady Grey, get your ass on that airlock!"

"Wha... B-but—"

Mr. Grey doesn't have time to finish his thought when the airlock opens, and a tall, thin humanoid with a large bulbous head, and the helmet to match, steps out, carrying some sort of case. You stand there for a moment, all surprised as it takes a few steps down the stairs before finally noticing you. It lets go of the case which slowly falls to the ground, and open, revealing alien-looking tools while unholstering its weapon. Looks like it was coming outside to fix something... perhaps they're not aware of your presence as Mr. Black thought they'd be... But if that's the case, you'll have to take it out before it can sound the alarm. You have a fight on your hands Marines!

First round of combat!

Alphia and Melena are up in any order...

Oof, that's a critical failure. Alphia takes aim and squeezes the trigger, but nothing happens. Looking at her gun, she notices the safety was still on. Such a rookie mistake.

Well, that's a loss of the party's Glory Point and me gaining a Dread Point, and seeing how criticals tend to get rolled often here, I think I'll spend it right away to give the Grey an extra action.

Taking advantage of the distraction of Alphia's gun not going off, the Grey will shoot (now I have 6 players and 3 NPCs, so I'll roll at random who it will be...).

A leaserbeam flies wide of Mr. Black... Melena is up next!

Melena's single bullets fails to piece the aliens's protective suit, however, Richter's hail of bullets does significant damage to the creature's suit. Archer then attempts to fire his pistol, but gets a failure to feed (did you cleaned your gun before the mission Marine?). Also, that critical failure gives me another Dread Point since I spent my last one... I think I'll hold on to this one for now...Enzo is still up!

Enzo quickly rummages though his porta-lab for some analyzing gizmo or doo-dad that could mess up the Greys' frequencies. He eventually pulls up something, plugs it to his combat suit's own comm system, aims it toward the alien, and hopes for the best...

AJ is up next!
