Arctic Rescue RPG - Page 9

The Game Master says...

You continue to monitor the movement of the ground object still heading away from the Arctic Base. Also showing up in the scanner is a flying craft coming very fast towards you. The 'rescuers' relay the following,

"This is 9-ner, 6-er, bravo, approaching your location over."

You acknowledge as you can now see the flyer on visuals. It appears to be a military cruiser given the heavy artillery mounted to it and the sophisticated way it presents itself.

Uhura then quickly asks Nathan if the video diary you found earlier has any information about the experiments. A scan through shows video and audio footage of the lab experiments as well as documented transformations in human features and powers.

During this time...

Major and Thomas goes up the main room of the Arctic Base to await the 'rescuers'.

At this time....

The military cruiser's thunderous thrusters grace its landing as the vibration rattles the main door of the Arctic Base. On the monitor you can see about 10 soldiers fully armored and armed with head gear on. Also with them seems to be a couple of medical officers.

They communicate their presence to you and ask that you open for them.

GM: Say what you wish to do now.

The Game Master says...

You assemble yourselves in the main room of the Arctic Base on the ground floor. Thomas opens the door for the rescuers and they file in tactically. Heavily armed men with battle gear on are aiming their weapons on you. Seeing no immediate threat they become somewhat relaxed but still focused on you as they ask that you disarm yourselves by placing all your weapons on the ground in front of you.

GM: Do you comply? Say what you will do now.

The Game Master says...

You each do as instructed by placing your weapons in front of you to show your surrender. Two officers then come in and collect your weapons. Then two more officers make their way down the ladder reporting their findings over a comm as they go.

"Its a [expletive] mess down here."

You hear one of the officers to say to the other. After this two medics check all of you for wounds and begin the healing the process.

Noticing an unhurt Uhura, the flight commander goes over to her, places a small electronic device on her head, and begins questioning for the full details of what happened.

GM: Say what you wish to do now.

The Game Master says...

The flight commander listens with interest in your story. As you tell it you can hear some of his men report back findings. After you think you have fully explained your circumstances the flight commander replies,

"We have an ATV that was not too far from here being searched now and you were wise to call us when you did because we were only doing a routine rendezvous in the area otherwise we would have taken much longer to get here."

You feel reassured by the flight commander's words until he adds,

"We will have to detain everyone until we do a full investigation, but don't worry you will be in good hands."

He then calls over one of his men,

"Please take them to the holding bay"

The officer immediately confirms his command,

"Sir, yes sir"

The officer then gets another man to assist. They come over to you and usher you towards the Arctic Base's main exit.

Those of you on the floor are amazed by the technology of the medics who have healed 2 of your HP instantaneously and promised full recovery within a couple of days. This allows the rest of you to also exit with Uhura should you wish to do so now.

GM: Will you go? Say what you will do now.

RPG Rescue Arctic

The Game Master says...

You follow the armed men from the Arctic Base to their formidable looking ship. You are taken to a holding bay and left there for about an hour under guard.

Later the flight commander comes to the holding bay to ask you some more questions for verification.

"Well, we're analyzing the computer logs but so far everything checks out."

He then pauses awhile as though he is pondering something and then asks in a more friendly manner,

"So you are for hire eh?"

You answer in the affirmative.

"The higher ups may have need for you, there are a couple of missions I can think of where they will need your expertise."

He then leaves.

Epilogue

You are taken to the rescuers' base on a remote island of which you do not know the location. While there you spend a few days as the officers conduct more research, tend to the rest of your wounds, and come to conclusions for prosecution. Greg is later charged under interrogation and the group he works for is brought under question.

Pleased with your help in uncovering the conspiracy they offer you something....

GM: That brings us to the end of this Scenario and leads into the other which will start shortly. Save for Uhura you barely survived this mission and everyone goes up a level. You will need to:

1. Add one level to one of your skills
2. Add one to either Body, Mind, or Soul not over 18
3. Add the relevant HP bonus for the new level

Look out for the new Scenario. This may be the time to hope that others join or you recruit them in with more exotic skills that may help you on the next mission.
