Game Recaps

August 7, 2007

• The prison guards start looking for alternate light sources after we demolish the power station.
• Bebop doesn’t make the climb, falling taking minor damage. We hoist him up, and enter the prison compound (a pentagon styled building).
• We make the long run to the small bunker like structure in the center of the compound.
• The door is unopenable from the outside. We knock, hoping to intimidate the guards, but there is no answer.
• Bebop tries to make a pretend commotion to get the door open. It also fails.
• Gunney then sets 4 blocks of plastique, blowing the door open. We enter the building, Ronin leading, followed by Gunney, Wrench, and Bebop.
• The walls have oil laterns on them, and there are many passages.
• We come upon a vault door in the complex. It locks on the other side. We here movement on the other side.
• Ronin opens the door and rolls in a flashbang. Gunney blasts the person inside with his shotgun, and Ronin finishes him off with a drop kick.
• The room is some sort of prisoner transfer station with a stairway leading down.
• We travel down the stairwell for at least 15 minutes, deep into a concrete underground bunker, with vault like doors.
• The group splits up and takes 2 seperate ways.
• Ronin and Bebop encounter guards prepared for their arrival. They are easily dispatched.
• Gunney and Wrench encounter 3 guards in cover. Wrench takes 2 tough shots and goes down. He recovers and fights back from cover on the stairwell. Gunney charges 1 of the enemies, taking him out and stealing his cover. He then attacks the other 2 across the room.
• A huge explosion happens, blowing a hole in the wall. Ronin and Bebop investigate. There are about 7 soldiers.
• Bebop throws a grenade to distract them. They panic and run past the group. They appear to be rebels.
• We encounter 6 men barracaded in a long cell block. Ronin unsuccessfully grenades them, then takes multiple assault rifle shots to the abdomen.
• The gun fire from the rebels gets closer. We hide in a cell, hoping for the best. The explosions and commotion pass us by upstairs.
• We can’t defeat them and retreat to the waiting rebels. We are introduced to Marissa Starcar and retreat with the rebel force.

• We retreat with the rebels to the north of the city.
• We find out that the rebels were on a rescue operation the same as us. There are rebels within the prison.
• Both parties agree that getting rid of Duke Joseph Barris would be in everyone’s interests.
• Marissa Starcar claims to want to get in touch with the Coalition, because there is a lot of technology on this planet that shouldn’t be here, that they would be interested in.
• We come to an agreement that we will work together, with us retaining operational control. The rebels will get the tank.
• It is decided that we will attack the orbitting ship, so that we can attack the ground forces without their backup.
• The ship outclasses us, but we attack anyway. Shokugan class something something.
• We out manuever the enemy, and demand their surrender.
• Realizing that we don’t have enough people to effectivly board the ship, we destroy them.
• Our ship lands back on the planet to pick up rebel soldiers so that we can attack Baron Joseph Barris from above.
• Gunney leads a force of 50 rebels up to the Helios. The rest of the crew uses the Starlance to strafe the south part of the airport.
• We succeed, forming a perimeter around the Helios. We begin preparations to get the Helios off the ground.
• The Helios is so old that starting it isn’t easy. We have to wait quite a while before we can get it running.
• While on the perimeter, Gunney notices that the grav tank is approaching the airport, with the Helios out of action for at least an hour.
