Session Fourteen, Plague of Angels
9am 20th of Centiobar 5 days after acquiring Goro
headed to either Afari or Mnk72
Afari options:
Pirate refuelling/resupply station
OA refuelling station
Computer attached to stasis pod - anything beyond the top level stuff?
Tracking devices on ships
compads - ours are bricked, how
Bedelman suits - commandered, how?
Keep Boston's guitar over the door to the bridge of Goro.
We wait 2 and 1/2 days to travel to Afari,
Stasis computer - nothing more on it than we already know. Copy the control protocols in there, transmitting signals to frankenbedel suit.
We can use the Sword of Flame's bedelman/OA encryption protocols, 2nd to real bedelman through Goro.
Gorked Compads - seem to be sending/receiving. Gerry hacks em...with a 16... holy shit... Log files contain a line when during the frankenbedel encounter a low level command was executed and took down the ability for the compads to communicate. This code was transmitted from Boston Roxx's compad...
a message sent out from all the compads that coressponds to the dialup noise from the compad and reset the Bedleman suits?
Bedelman suit takeover - the dialup signal introduced an overide along with instructions to destroy any comms.
Gerry devises a protection for our suits for this particular tonebased attack.
Gerry devises an attack protocol using the dialup tones. command to a complete shutdown.
Others commands to effect.
Dominik flies Goro
Sinon bungles her way with the Sword to arrive just on time.
Sword of Flame:
Gurading the approach from Arneion, 2 OA patrol boats Sword of Justice, and Sword of ??
Sword of Flame arrives in Afari 3 days late...
Spoofs them with Sword of Flame's credentials and they about pee their vac suits...Blackops and all.
They head for Baroche 4. 2 patrol boats, 2 freighters docked at the station (our folks). the station hails the Sword.
Captain Harold talks to Captain Boris - the station commander, Lucifer is former OA black ops, we need to emphatically tell traffic control that you are DEFINITELY not black ops... Dock at Bay 23, right near the Fallen Angel.
Plan - send the blockade away.
-----------
Goro:
Goro's systems were compromised by the Frankenbedel, spoofing the pilot station to take Goro toward Hilarer Altzeta, however, we don't have a drive to get there so we're going to be dropping into an empty hex.... Maybe die after starving to death...
Goro - Gerry messes with the comm server where the problem's started taking us to no mans land... Gerry restarts the comm server. A root level program (injection script) is set to broadcast once we arrive at the end of the spike run:
Gerry rewrites the comms node and wipes the message from outgoing mail.
Distress call directed to hegemony. Overmind needs rescue... coordinates referencing Arneion... Coresponds with 2nd blackops secret, not known site circling Bero.
Yi Cao - translates the message: Greetings Hegemon, this is General (Proper name). I bring word from bedelman in the Arneinon system. The overmind is held prisoner at a secret base (coordinates follow to 2nd hidden blackops site over Nacheme).
The religious leaders (bedelman) restrict the bedelman.
We drop out of spike drive and head toward a debris field. no comms or anything active.
The debris field - looks to be remnants of ancient battle between imperial human ships and Hegemony ships. We start scanning for fuel.
Start with Sword of Flame next session: Ray'll play Peng, I'll play Prasab (Indian/Scottish).
*****Reroll bonuses - Tradition, everyone gets 1 individual reroll. Once per year the party can select the number that shows up on any roll.
