00.2 [2017] The 2nd Adventure ... Solid Oxide (Part 1: Getting There)
The 2nd Adventure ... Solid Oxide (Part 1: Getting There)
THE BLUE ROOM
After almost a week of things settling down from the escapades beneath the Outside Inn Bar you receive a comm-link message to report to the "Blue Room", one of the briefing rooms aboard the Hover Train HQ.
Once you enter the briefing room, located just off the main bridge of the BC Hover Train, you see several sets of chairs and on the far wall from the doorway you just entered is a large monitor displaying a map.
Standing in the room is a nerdy looking technician who alternates between pushing his glasses back onto his nose and turning dials on an electronics tablet. The monitor focuses until the map is crisp and clear. Turning to leave he is startled by your presence, nods and rushes out of the room saying:
"He will be here in a moment to brief you...and uh, your, your new teammates will be here soon too...uh and I was told to tell you the um, your ship-thing is almost ready to pick up with its new mods. I uh ... bye."
Zoom in on Map
As you all show up feel free to talk and have a seat. Look at the map. Speculate. Once everyone shows up (two characters in the works) we will roll.

Gargamel entered the room and sat quietly waiting for the others.
"The Sky Rider will be more impressive than ever I'm sure."

Re: The 2nd Adventure ... Solid Oxide (Part 1: Getting There
Walking into the room, a short black man nods at Gargamel and makes his way to the front of the room. Looking at the map for a moment the man turns and faces the battle mage.
"Gargamel. Thank you for doing a great job beneath the ... bar. I appreciate your willingness to keep quiet about the ... chamber down there. I have a few excellent mages looking into it. I think we may have a great way of travel via Rift open to us. Anyway, my manners. I am Blackwell, good to finally meet you face to face. I have kept tabs on you and your team, impressive lot."
Moving to the far wall Blackwell leans back against the wall.
"I have a delicate situation, well, Castle Refuge has one. I am going to send you and the Eighth out to fix the issue. I'll explain once all nine of you are here. I hope the additions to the Sky Rider will be to your satisfaction."
Smiling the short man folds his arms across his chest after brushing some dust off his dress shirt.
"Hopefully the rest of your team will arrive soon. A few replacements were in order. A few of your team were interested in other avenues to help the BC. I'm mobilizing the HQ and headed towards Chi Town, so once I brief you all, we are out of here."
Re: The 2nd Adventure ... Solid Oxide (Part 1: Getting There
Iron Tic comes into the room. It looks like Tic is loaded for war, his rifle is slung over his back, a pistol on his hip. His armor looks like a few new plates have been installed over the areas recently torn asunder. Also he has his vibro sword in hand ready to cut any traitors down. Seeing that Blackwell is there he sheathes the sword. Tic sort of blurts out,
" Sorry I could not do more for Mathius, his absence saddens me." Finding some amount of composure he hands Blackwell a credit chip, Well you said you could take out a death's head transport, 11,000 was the wager I beleive." Tic looks arround seeing Gargamel, he stands next to him looking at the map.
To Gargamel he whispers, " Its good to see you G-man, after what happened with the one called Gorden all I see are would be traitors."

Thrudh strolls in as ordered. He nods to Gargamel and Tic, finds a seat in the back of the room (so as not to block anyone's view), pulls a cigar from his pocket...and stops short of lighting it.
"Boss, mind a cigar? Got one fer ya too, if ya want."

Alecto enters next and gives her squadmates an acknowledging nod. On seeing Blackwell she greets him with by saying, "Commander," and takes a seat towards the middle of the table.

Karchev makes his way in, new vibrosword attached to a scabbard on his back. The scabbard clearly has a CS logo on it, and Karchev jhasn't tried to remove or blemish it in any way.
"It is good to see you all. I had no idea the first day interview for a position was going to be so...extreme.
Karchev looks around the room and frowns.
"We seem to be missing a few comrades, are they well?

Commander Blackwell nods at Thrudh, Alecto and Karchev as they walk in.
Leaning back against the wall still the Commander nods at Thrudh.
"Go ahead. Enjoy. Come by the HQ ... later Thrudh. Say. After this next mission. I have some Cubans from Cuba. Picked them up after a stint with the Army back in 1909... anyway. As far as the issue with Gordon. Thank you all for a job well done. I am going to miss Mathias Tic. Thank you for all the good work. All of you."
Setting the cred stick down in front of Iron Tic Blackwell continues, "Buy something you need. I have a ... dragons horde. I did kick that DHT's butt though. As far as your team. There will be a few changes. Two members are rotating out. Two in. Once we are all here I'll get into it."

Thrudh nods, and his eyes perk up a bit. "I think I heard a' these Koobins. Boss, I'll take ya up on that. Sounds like a hell of a find."
He sparks his cigar and begins puffing away.

Gargamel squinted at Blackwell, but kept quiet until more of the team arrived, including it seemed one of the new arrivals.
"Why have some of our compatriots been replaced?" He asked bluntly

Re: The 2nd Adventure ... Solid Oxide (Part 1: Getting There
The Commander looks over at the Battle Mage:
"Thier requests. Not mine. Zed is now working on some TW projects in the Supply office. Aiden is deciding his new position. You all are on my Happy List. No one is in trouble. New members are recent additions, new hires, who seem like they will be of use on this team."
Re: The 2nd Adventure ... Solid Oxide (Part 1: Getting There
As Iron Tic sees Karchev enter the room he gives his friend a mighty hug. "Friend Karchev a mighty day to see one seeks satisfaction." Tic sets him down gently and walks over to Alecto and Thrudh. More friends, and no spies so far. Iron Tic hi-fives each of them in turn. " No more spies here, just friends and those whom satisifaction is important."
Tic sees the cred stick given back. He frowns. Ahh this money is no good. Blackwell is always wise, although often cryptic.
After some time thinking, Tic nods at Blackwell whispering, " No problem Chuck.". With a weighty fist Tic slams down on the cred stick smashing it to bits. He brushes the cred stick dust into a nearby waste bin. Grinning at Blackwell he laughs, " A deal is a deal, if its not good enough for you, its no good for me."

"You know, if you weren't going to use that I'm sure I could have found something to spend it on."
Not that money's been an issue for me since I stole that Enforcer.
"Ember, new recruit of Es-Oh-Gee Eight reporting for duty, SIR!"
She snaps a smart salute to Blackwell, though the corner of her mouth was twitching with barely suppressed laughter.
She flips one of the chairs around and sits on it backward, her arms resting on the back and her head resting on her arms.
"Yer map's out of date." She points at the spot marked 'Fort Smith'. "Are we headed to Newtown?"
Her normally chipper disposition fades.
"I was there, a few years back. Right at the start of the uprising. Not happy memories."

"Tic, I have found that it is good to see you. I can honestly say you are the one i like have to watch my back..." Or hide behind...whichever is required more at the time.
"It is good to see the rest of you as well."
Looking at Ember with a sly grin.
"And welcome to you, our new friend. Just be warned - my introduction to this group involved Psi Stalkers, Combat Cyborgs, Skelebots and a jackass who thought he was a light socket all shooting at me. I understand they refer to that as the morning warm up here. "
Reaching back he pulls on his new scabbard.
"But i did get this nice new sword as a result"

Re: The 2nd Adventure ... Solid Oxide (Part 1: Getting There
Thrudh watches Ember's entrance and theatrics. "Boss, don't think that's regulation seatin' position. Rook ain't read the Black Comp'ny manual on proper briefin' sittin' posture." He chuckles to himself, which ends up being not at all quiet or to himself, but he's definitely pleased with his joke. "Bet there's taters need peelin' or somethin'."
Thrudh is only halfway trying to stifle the fact that he thinks this is one of the funnier jokes he's told in awhile. Finally, the laughter gets the better of him. "HAHAHA! Hey, can we make 'er do pushups? HAHA!!" Thrudh's belly laughter fills the room, pausing only to draw off of his cigar.

Alecto glances at Thrudh, then Ember. She scoots a little closer to Thrudh and says quietly, "The company handbook and regulations do not mention chair position at briefings. There are some points of expected dress and demeanor that several of us are technically in violation of, but which I have been assured are not actively enforced."
She nods at him, satisfied that she was able to have been of assistance to him. Such exchanges formed the basis of mutual trust, or so she had observed, and been informed.

Blackwell looks around the room, smiling he says:
"Just one missing. Okay all, I have a specialist hired to go with you on this next mission, he will brief you."
Moving to the exit the Commander waves and says:
"Keep up the good work, Spider and Sadie will be here soon. He is not your leader, he is not your commander, he is a man who has been involved with the...objects that were taken. As I understand it. He will assist you as needed. I trust his input. Good luck!"
Blackwell leaves you to wait for you last new team member and the specialist called Spider.
Re: The 2nd Adventure ... Solid Oxide (Part 1: Getting There
Iron Tic rises after Blackwell leaves. He looks at Ember and Gargamel. Quietly he says shaking with raw fury, " Newtown? After what those soldiers did to my heros, did to me...". He takes the backs of a few nearby chairs and snaps them like twigs. He tosses the usless frames at the door.
Roaring as the insult takes hold, " Newtown! I loved my heroes, little Quicktic stood days on end getting beat by the coalition, a broken rib, I could barely see.". Tics meaty hand absently goes through a wall. " Not Newtown, Goddamn, not Newtown!"Oh I stood there sign in hand telling my heroes they were heroic enough. They did not need anymore. I Hate Newtown!". Iron Tic settles into a furious rythm punching holes in a beleaguered wall.

Thrudh draws again on the cigar and leans down to Alecto. "Guess you didn't get the memo, Alecto. I heard it was 'cause Tic kept breakin' chairs instead a' sittin' in 'em. Easy, killer! Save it fer when it counts!" he says in Tic's direction. He turns back to Alecto. "Maybe ask boss or this Spider fer an updated copy. I'm sure it's in there somewhere." His laughter competes with Tic's battering of the walls for volume and intensity.

Gargamel stood up and walked over to where Iron Tic was pummelling the wall, placing a gentle reassuring hand on his shoulder.
"This time," He spoke quietly, but compassionately, "you will have us with you and you know we have your back. If you need or want to tell us something, we're here."

Re: The 2nd Adventure ... Solid Oxide (Part 1: Getting There
Coming through the door is a Dwarf covered from head to toe in armor. It looks like a set of medieval plate mail. The T in the visor glows a deep red.
“Hans reporting in. Sorry it took me so long. I was busy assembling this beauty and lost track of the time. Was just starting to put it on when the call came out, and decided to finish before heading here. Almost as powerful as a suit of Power Armor. It’s a suit of Dwarven Technosmith H-1 Combat Armor. When I activate its structural integrity field, it is at least as tough as most ‘borgs. It should keep me out of harm’s way while our heavy hitters do the heavy hitting.
Tick, calm down, please. Look what I brought you. I fixed up a gimbal for your Particle Cannon and set up an external power source, since unlike the ‘borg, you can’t power it. Be careful with the cannon, though. Replacement parts will be hard for us to get our hands on.
If anyone wants a minor upgrade or two, I might be able to squeeze them in either before we set off, or reroute. We will just need to pick up the parts before we leave our supply chain.”
With that, Hans sits down in an open chair, and takes off his helmet. The T in the visor continues to glow the deep red.

Ember glowers at Thrudh, but is truly taken aback when Iron Tic starts smashing the wall.
What the hell kind of outfit have I gotten myself into?
Snapping out if her shock, she stands and walks over to the giant quickflex and puts her arms around him as best she can.
"I don't like Newtown either."

Re: The 2nd Adventure ... Solid Oxide (Part 1: Getting There
Alecto, for her part, deemed the cost of acting to attempt to subdue the Iron Tic to outweigh the potential cost of inaction. He wasn't threatening anyone, and the damage he was causing to the room could be repaired. Disciplinary actions and the costs of those repairs were not within her given responsibilities.
When Ember went to him though, she got to her feet, prepared to intervene should the Tic's rage turn against her.

Re: The 2nd Adventure ... Solid Oxide (Part 1: Getting There
Right as things are really getting good:
Sadie
Spider
A Beefy looking broad shouldered guy with tattoos makes his way into the room. Following him is a lithe woman with short black hair wearing light Cyber Knight armor.
Stopping by the door the man let's the woman pass him. Looking at Ember and Tic hugging he raises an eyebrow.
Making her way to the front of the room the attractive woman stands in front of the large monitor briefly. Turning to face you she moves hair from her face and nods. You recognize her as an Officer of the Black Company. Rumor is she is Blackwell's right hand woman. Rumor is she also is close with Lord Coake. Several Mercs have stated that for being so young she sure has done well....
"My name is Sadie Noire. You will call me Captain Noire when at HQ. In the field Sadie is fine. This..." she points at the tattooed man standing by the door "...is Spider. He recently joined a SET team in the Legion. He is a linguist so I asked him to study some text. He will not be going with you. However I'd like him to translate this text for you before he runs off to do Legion work."
The screen behind Sadie changes to display a canister with alien looking script on it.
Spider steps closer to the screen, looks at it then says:
"Like I said. It says, Property of Naruni Enterprises. Caution. Explosive. Solid Oxide. HI3S457. That's all it says. We done?"
Sadie hands Spider a cred stick.
Spider turns to leave (and does so unless someone stops him).
Sadie clears her throat.
"Take a seat. Listen up. Once I transfer some data off my PC to this large screen I'll be briefing you further...I'm not sure if your other new team member will be here soon or meeting us later."
Sadie pulls a small PC out of her backpack and plugs it into the large monitor.
Sadie
Spider
A Beefy looking broad shouldered guy with tattoos makes his way into the room. Following him is a lithe woman with short black hair wearing light Cyber Knight armor.
Stopping by the door the man let's the woman pass him. Looking at Ember and Tic hugging he raises an eyebrow.
Making her way to the front of the room the attractive woman stands in front of the large monitor briefly. Turning to face you she moves hair from her face and nods. You recognize her as an Officer of the Black Company. Rumor is she is Blackwell's right hand woman. Rumor is she also is close with Lord Coake. Several Mercs have stated that for being so young she sure has done well....
"My name is Sadie Noire. You will call me Captain Noire when at HQ. In the field Sadie is fine. This..." she points at the tattooed man standing by the door "...is Spider. He recently joined a SET team in the Legion. He is a linguist so I asked him to study some text. He will not be going with you. However I'd like him to translate this text for you before he runs off to do Legion work."
The screen behind Sadie changes to display a canister with alien looking script on it.
Spider steps closer to the screen, looks at it then says:
"Like I said. It says, Property of Naruni Enterprises. Caution. Explosive. Solid Oxide. HI3S457. That's all it says. We done?"
Sadie hands Spider a cred stick.
Spider turns to leave (and does so unless someone stops him).
Sadie clears her throat.
"Take a seat. Listen up. Once I transfer some data off my PC to this large screen I'll be briefing you further...I'm not sure if your other new team member will be here soon or meeting us later."
Sadie pulls a small PC out of her backpack and plugs it into the large monitor.

"Spider," says Alecto as the grizzled man is on his way out, "What language is that warning written in?"
She assumed Sadie knew, but preferred not to leave it to chance that she would include it in the briefing. It was the kind of detail that officers may not believe soldiers needed to know.

"Hmmm... Naruni Enterprises... They are a major weapons supplier. DB's. Looks like their script. The Hammers occasionally got some of their product. Solid oxide, that sounds like something Northern Gun has been using occasionally instead of nuclear power. Nice stuff, the NG version, but if Naruni Enterprises makes some, you KNOW it will EASILY surpass NG's in every way. If we could reverse engineer it, we would be in the credits. Neruni are known for taking precautions against that, however, and I don't want to think of what they'd do with such a volatile substance for the trap."

Spider stops when Alecto asks her question.
Turning to face her from the doorway he says:
"A dialect of Uteni. Likely from the UWW system. It. It's not from Earth. Nor your galaxy here. Among the Naruni it's rare. Can't recall why. But. It's not exactly straight Uteni. Anyway. Alien for sure. I've never really like those NE bastards. Nice gear. Bad manners. Oh. Side note. The canister you have in that picture. On the screen it looks big. Like a football big. But the tiny numbers on it would make me think it's about 3 inches long. I could be wrong but, looks that way. That's a crappy pic. I've never seen a Solid OX canister smaller than a football. Ones for vehicles areas B I G. I'm not a mechanic. But I know a little. Flying a Hover cycle and such. That thing doesn't look like a bomb to me. Fuel."
Sadie coughs.
"Thank you Spider. I will brief you all momentarily."
Spider shrugs and leaves.

Iron Tic stops his rage and gives Ember, and Gargamel a huge hug. He looks at Ember with a deep sadness. " Little Quicktic was their too. Beaten for trying to stop my heroes. Lucas was a hero. A damn hero... I do not know you, but I can tell something smolders deep within, you are no spy. You are Iron Tic's friend." Tic clasps Gargamel on the shoulder and nods his head in thanks.
When Hans brings in the cannon. Tic loads it up on himself immediatly expecting war. " Hans I cannot thank you enough. I thought it impossible, but here you are giving me satisfaction.". Tic looks at Ember and very humbly and with much respect asks her, " I have seen others name a weapon of such caliber, could a name of Lucas provide you satisfaction?"
Tic barely says anything through the briefing. Those closest to him probably think he has an itchy trigger finger. These two, are coalition spies. Tic you can only trust your friends and blackwell. Spider and Sadie are traitors, don't let your gaurd down.
During the breifing Tics internal ramblings spill out and he blurts, " Traitor!!". He looks like he is ready to lunge at Whomever is speaking. But he regains controll, and eases back a bit warily looking for the other shoe to drop.

The Blue Room
As the female Cyber Knight finished connecting her PCC tablet to the large monitor she sighed and muttered, "Never will be any good at computers."
Touching the tablet changed the view on the monitor back to the map of the surrounding area around Castle Refuge. Marked in red was a blip that read: Last Transmission.
Sadie brushed her black hair back, took a deep breath and addressed the SOG 8 Team.
"The ins and outs of why theses Solid OX canisters and their alien creators is probably interesting to several of you. Mathias read me each of your bios the night before his death. He, told me there were some super heroes and super smart new members that he was going to be working with. However. Fact is. As cool as these things might be to techies. What we have is a rescue mission. Apparently a Legion SET team was escorting a convoy that included these SoX things. The convoy came under attack. Our job is to rescue the SET and get the cargo back. Simple enough. Step one is getting to the Last Transmission site. I understand you have two vehicles, personal vehicles, that Blackwell just upgraded for free. I was told that the Sky Rider could strap the Mk2 under it and haul the APC. Blackwell is taking the Hover Train and everyone other than us to Northern Gun. We are to head to the last transmission. Rescue. And retrieve cargo. Last resort, destroy cargo."
Taking a moment Sadie sits down on the edge of a table.
"Listen. Mathias was a good friend. Talking about him brought emotions back. Sorry. I don't know what's up with Solid OX. I just know we got orders. I suggest we fly down the Ley Line. Then head west to the last transmission site. Gather ... clues. The last transmission was garbled but mentioned a General Lizardo. So we have that. Legion Intel says a former NGR soldier named Zelma Giestvolker has a small Merc team in the area and 'runs' a town called Gloom. Not friendly with the Legion. And that's what I know. Oh. And. Giestvolker has killed a lot of Legion members over the last year. From what I hear."
Setting the tablet down Sadie steps closer to Iron Tic:
"My brother. Older than me by, 10 years, was converted in Newtown. I don't know your whole story but I know I miss my brother."
Standing back at the front of the room Sadie says: "Questions? I'll try to answer. We need to leave tonight. Blackwell is itching to get to Northern Gun. Something's up. Something above my pay grade. Ready?"

"Time to grab some spuds and the only culture I ever have. Then quick back to my bunk for my tools, a few empty flasks, and my gun and I will be ready to roll."
"Are we going to be issued any spare parts for either of the vehicles or any of the weapons? I assume we will be getting dossiers on the SET and further specs on the cargo. Assuming we take your suggested route, how many miles to the last known location?"
With that, Hans puts on his helmet and stands up awaiting his answers.

"Heard of Zelma. Sound like she is even worse than the Hammers, and that is saying a lot. She took over the town of Gloom and made it her own private cesspool. They say that the only reason she got her own band of mercenaries is that nobody would hire her into their company. She gathered as many of the most disgusting and black hearted SoB's as she could. They are slavers, and I wouldn't be surprised if she dealt with the Splugorth."With that, Hans puts on his helmet and stands up awaiting his answers.

Sadie digs through her backpack saying she has a list of the SET members.
"Spare parts? I'm not Zane, beats me. I was led to believe you were ready to roll. The two vehicles modified, and loaded with weapons. If not go do that quick. We need to get off the train and on our way. We can go any route you want. I figured you had a Ley Line Boat and you'd want to take a Line as far as possible. Up to you all. Frankly, I was about to jump in a hover cycle and go find the SET team but Lo..the Boss said to head there with you guys. All I was told about the cargo is it consisted of weapons, parts and a LOT of these alien Solid Ox things. I was told don't come back with out the Oxide things, or make sure they are destroyed. Personally, I am interested in why the Legion does not rescue their own SET team, I think they are ... scared of something in the area. No idea what."
Sadie returns to looking in her bag.

Regroup at Sky Rider
Standing outside the Hover Train the Crazie Eight and Sadie Noire see the Sky Rider hovering out front Logan's garage. A set of straps hang down from under the Sky boat. If you plan on attacking the Mk2 to the underside of the boat the crew at Logun's is ready to demonstrate how.

After a quick trip to the kitchen to pick up some potatoes, corn, and other important ingredients, Hans drops by his bunk and picks up the rest of his gear, including his old armor.
"Never know when having this around might come in handy."
With all of his supplies for the trip ready, Hans goes to the garage to help with the loading of Eleanor under the Sky Rider.
"If we get into a firefight, the sky boat is way too fragile. On the other hand, Eleanor only seats 10, so almost no room for any SET members. That means we need both. We can unload her when we get close to the last point, and keep a minimum crew on the boat while Eleanor goes in. Dibs on the First Mate's cabin."

"Ember, you might be a good pilot, but in order to pilot something like the Sky Rider takes developing your Potential Psychic Energy, or your Inner Strength just to be able to use the controls. Myself, Gargamel, Sadie, and Karchev all have that sort of training. The P-Beam Cannon also takes the same sort of training. The Missile Launcher, however, has standard controls. When it is time to use Eleanor, it also has standard controls."

"I don't have any silver, but I can throw together a Gadget, if necessary, to temporarily transmute the atomic structure of projectiles or weapons to silver, or even give an energy beam the same resonance as silver and get the same effect against any lycanthropes. I can also add a Photonic Resonance instead, and have there be some Sunlight."
"Just like you, I would also like to remain by the Ley Line, though I think I need to be closer than you in order to benefit from it. From a purely tactical point, Eleanor, the Mountaineer with its total of 10 on board would seem to be the better fit for this mission, now that we have the updated information. The only benefits from Sky Boat are increased speed and more storage and carrying capacity, though at the cost of being in a more fragile vehicle. I think Eleanor is the better choice for this mission."

Re: The 2nd Adventure ... Solid Oxide (Part 1: Getting There
"I am not that sure it would be faster. The Sky Boat is not the fastest of vessels, but it does fly along the ley line. The Mountaineer, Eleanor, has a faster top speed, but is a ground vehicle. Without knowing the terrain better, the two seem pretty well matched for how long it will take. The main difference is that the Sky Boat has more space for people and gear. Bringing the Sky Boat along means that either we bring it into combat situations, or have to leave it sufficiently back that we won't be able to keep an eye on it."

"You may not know the terrain, but I did spend some time in that area, and as a guide no less. The terrain? It's bad. Take a look at that map again. The ley lines get us up and over the mountains. Let me tell you - there's no easy way through there, not for something as big as a mountaineer. We'd add days to the travel time, looking for a way through. It's going to be bad enough when we go to ground as it is. Finding a hollow or something along the ley line to hide the 'boat in shouldn't be too hard."

Iron Tic catches Sadie, " For your brother and all my heroes we will succeed."
Iron Tic bords the sky boat trucking in all his weapons, and a plate piled high of tasty food from the nearby pub. After seeing ember do it, he takes his helmet off and runs his hand through his short hair. No satisfaction there, perhaps I need more hair.". He begins his search for a room or cabin capable of holding his mighty girth. Assuming he finds such a room he sits down going over his gear and munching on food.
" ok Tic, time to get serious. You got a town to save, bad guys to kill, missing folks to find. You got a team supporting you... Are Sadie and Ember spies? Shit Tic, you had no idea Gordon was...". His ramblings cease as he finds a meaty burger to munch on while he inspects his load out.

"I agree with Ember," says Alecto. "They are likely to expect an attack. The less time they have to prepare, the better our probability of success is. It also reduces the chance that information will find its way to other SETs, or other complicating events will take place."
"I suggest we use the Sky Ship's expanded cargo space to bring equipment and materials that will be useful in concealing its location while we drive to the target location."
After a moment, she added, "I do not have silver weaponry. It would seem to be an unsuitable material for making a bladed weapon, but if such a thing exists I would be interested in acquiring one."

Sadie glances at the Line Walker. "Silver? Oh. yes, for our tech only crew members. I know that Zane has a box of silver bullets and knives. They are in the Vampire Hunter Box in storage. If people are going to grab a silver knife, sword or bullets you best hurry. The BC Train is pulling out ASAP. Run. Otherwise, lets finish loading up and go. So sounds like we are going to attach the ...er Eleanor to the under side of the Sky Rider and then either board the Mk2 or Boat. Lift off and head toward the Ley Line. Right?"Karchev wrote:"Does anyone have any silver, specifically silver weapons or ammo? That sort of thing may come in handy for you more technical in nature."
Tossing her backpack aboard the Sky Rider Sadie climbs aboard herself and leans against the railing ready to go.
In the distance you can hear the Hover Train powering up in preparation for heading to the Great Lakes area.

Re: The 2nd Adventure ... Solid Oxide (Part 1: Getting There
Hans will be spending as much time as he can get away from piloting the Sky Rider in his workshop on board the Sky Rider.
He will first get his still onboard Eleanor producing "Degreaser", then will get working on the tent/generator combination he got from Zane. While on the Ley Line, he will pull in as much PPE as he can (I assume he will start any encounter at his full Ley Line 50 PPE. He will also keep his Technosmith H-1 Combat Armor on and fully charged.
"If you need me to pilot, I can, but I would much prefer working in my workshop."

Re: The 2nd Adventure ... Solid Oxide (Part 1: Getting There
Ember climbs aboard Eleanor with her newest acquisition and her previously acquired armor and basic weaponry. She wasn't really used to the armor yet, she had only bought it when she decided to sign up with the Black Company. She had always been adept at avoiding fights - either sneaking around or talking her way out of them - but in her experience, mercs tended to be a bit more willing to start swapping laser fire, so top-notch protection was called for. Money had never been much of an issue for Ember - she excelled at sniffing out rather lucrative opportunities and having the skills to pull them off - so she sweet-talked an NG rep into a good deal on a suit of custom modded Gladius armor.
"Ember here." She said through her cybernetic radio. "Loaded into Eleanor and ready to go for a ride."
She runs through some checks on the engine and weaponry to familiarize herself with the controls, should it be needed.

Alecto wasn't far behind, taking one of the gunner seats a few minutes after Ember boarded.
"Alecto here. I am in position."
She looked over at Ember and asked, "What did Zane want in exchange for the weapon you purchased? He offered to allow me to 'share' in the price, even though he had no additional weapon to sell. I suspect he may have been joking, but I need more information to be sure."

Re: The 2nd Adventure ... Solid Oxide (Part 1: Getting There
Thrudh returns, tucking his new silver knife into a sheath situated on his armor. He does a walk around Eleanor, eyeballing tire pressure, glancing through wheel wells, and checking suspension bits. His hand strays to the body of the vehicle, running his fingers over the armored shell and whispering to himself. "Sleek 'n smooth. Ready ta roll. Atta girl, Eleanor. You get ta fly today, but no worries. You'll get to run soon." He stows his gear in its normal spot behind the seat, straps his weaponry in, and takes his place in the driver's seat. Prepping for takeoff, he starts the engine on the Mountaineer and rolls to the designated pickup area where the sky boat is to latch on. He lets the engine idle for a bit, re-acclimating himself to the driver's seat, rolls a window down, and proceeds to blow a chimney's worth of cigar smoke out the window, along with some new music he found in the bar. "Let's get movin'!"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iaUzIQfjqt4
During the trip, Thrudh mostly checks diagnostics and tinkers around Eleanor, making sure all bolts are tightened and everything secured. He plays various tunes, essentially all themed to driving far and fast. A new one comes up in the music mix, and he gives a diatribe about the essence of life and freedom.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=62_0ZHhOo58
At various points, he checks on the still that he and Hans assembled. Samples are taken and tested for taste. "That's good dwarven drink right there." He ponders the task ahead and the obvious dangers. Mostly...he smokes cigars and runs his mouth to whoever happens to be nearby, and watches the sensor displays.

Settling into the pilot's seat on his pride and joy the Sky Rider, he lifted them into the air, powering the vessel from his own PPE reserves long enough to settle on the leyline and get underway to their destination. He took it slow and carefully to minimise the impact on those in the ATV and to hide his limited piloting skills.

Meanwhile Karchev continues to give the worst explanation of magic...perhaps of all time
Well time is kind of a "relative" term" Karchev uses air quotes when he says relative.
"It is my understanding the pre-cataclysmic people of Earth did not have magic. But i suppose the excludes Atlanteans who clearly do have magic and are from Earth..or at least that is what many people believe. So like some Earth people had magic, then it went away and then it came back......

"So magic is like, uh...I mean magic users are like. Wait, is magic user an insensitive name we give to people who clearly are very separate and unique people? What i mean to say is Magical Americans, much like their otherlands counterparts are like a box of chocolates. But that excludes those from other dimensions that cast magic too. Maybe cast is the wrong term because not all people actually cast. Perhaps invoke magic is the better term....however some people just do magic. I don't mean in a sexual manner, i mean they just know how to cast, er evoke innately. I hope you don't mind me using the term people, what i mean to say is magically capable beings from all space time and dimensions.Well time is kind of a "relative" term" Karchev uses air quotes when he says relative.

Iron Tic comes around with his face full of meat burgers. He is wielding his vibro-blade in one hand and his other is resting on Lucus "Did someone say something about killing?" Tic frowns, " Truthfully I don't really like it. I get very little satisfaction. Few people deserve it, and what if Tic makes a mistake, you can't mulligan death." He shakes his head taking a bite out of a burger produced from apparently thin air. Man this burger tastes great!
" I think the Tomorrow Legion has a policy against not offering our enemies to surrender." Tic leans against a rail looking up at the sky, eating another burger!

Across a Darkening Sky
Round One
Karchev = Jack of Hearts
Gargamel = 10 Spades
Hans = 9 Hearts
Sadie = 7 Hearts
Enemies as a whole = 6 Spades
EVEN IF YOU ARE NOT IN THE INIT ORDER, please feel free to describe (post) your reactions. After this turn anyone who goes topside to the Sky Rider will be in on next turns Init Order.
- As the day closes, about half way to the destination, the mercenaries of the Black Company have spent the day traveling across Arkansas, along the Ley Line. A line that often reaches upwards of a mile high. As they approach the distant, just visible, Clarksdale Nexus, Gargamel can see shapes forming on the Ley Line approaching them. Possibly other Line Skiffs.
Soaring aloft in the crackling silent mystic energies the Sky Rider zooms along silently like a minor bird of prey carrying its catch beneath it. Those in the Mk2 are softly carried along under the TW ship. If not for the occasional glance out a window those in the Mk2 might forget they are soaring along suspended below Gargamel's skiff.
Closing in on the shapes, still quite distant, Gargamel is eventually able to see that they are two large Ley Line Skiffs. Although the Battle Magus has time to inform the crew that they can expect company, there is little time to decide what to do about it due to the superior speed of the two ships.
Swooping wide the two ships bank and come adjacent to either side of the Sky Rider. Gargamel can see that these two ships appear to be less than friendly. They are each flying a red flag with blue stars on it. The ships soar along on either side of the Sky Rider. The names of each ship are painted on the TW Skiffs plain as day, one reads: The Nil, the other says: The Marauder.
Aligning themselves to either side of the Sky Rider the Nil appears to be crewed by several human and D-Bee ruffians. The Marauder in contrast is piloted and crewed by pure evil looking Goblins!
The respective captains of each sky ship look like they just ordered the attack!
A human sporting a pirates outfit and two flaming swords yells out: "For Giest!"
A red skinned Goblin sporting a flame thrower looking gun hoots and howlers.
Those on the Mk2 will have to spend their turn climbing up a rope latter to the Sky Rider if they wish to join the ensuing battle.
The Sky Pirates are attacking!

He takes immediate note of Hans' sudden arrival. Grabbing his rifle and rocket launcher, Thrudh prepares for the teleport trip up to the sky rider. "Time ta play."

"They will attempt to board," Alecto reports, after taking a moment to project likely strategies. "Kill as many as possible before they can close the gap."
She stands up and swings her plasma cannon around into her arms.
The spell's effect warps and shrieks around them, in eerie harmony with the charging driver coils in the cannon.
A moment later the mercenary appears on deck, bedecked in drab Huntsman armor, looking thoroughly normal next to the technowizard in enchanted power armor, and the titanic, looming figure of the Iron Tic.
Even so, a plasma cannon was nothing to scoff at in a battle between flimsy wooden ships.

"What he wanted was to get in my pants. What he asked for was a date. What he'll be getting... well, I haven't decided yet. He set the terms, but then let me walk off with it without agreeing.

Alecto frowned slightly at Ember's answer. She had served in a mercenary unit before; she was no innocent dove when it came to humanoid mating etiquette. That said, the permutations of the act and its social consequences were very complex.
"So you purchased the weapon with a promise to meet him and assess him as a sexual partner, but have not promised sexual activity with him even though you're aware that is his ultimate goal in meeting you. I believe I understand your dilemma. Should you agree, you subject yourself to social stigma associated with those who barter sexual services for material wealth and gain. Should you turn him down, you risk antagonizing him and limiting your access to future equipment through him."
She paused, considering, then added, "I hope the weapon is worth it."
Then the call came down...an attack was incoming!

Thrudh takes a quick look around to get his bearings, and then heads to the broadsides with The Nil, taking up a position between Gargamel and their foes. (F-13) He bellows defiantly at the pirates. "Come get some, ya flyin' filth!"
Taking aim, he lets off a full burst at the pirates.

Re: The 2nd Adventure ... Solid Oxide (Part 1: Getting There
Anyone could be the next Gordon... I better keep an eye on the one they call Ember. I got Lucas with me and my vibro, Tic is ready.
Iron Tic was lounging some what uncomfortably in the Mk2 chatting it up with Hans and Ember. " So I am still a bit fuzzy on all this magic doing. Does it bring you satisfaction?" Tic takes a big bite of a meat burger while he listens for the response. Unfortunately it never comes as Hans Teleports everyone to the top deck as the call for aid was given. Tic looks at Hans reading the dwarve's thoughts. He gives a silent nod waiting for Hans to do what Hans does best. " Give me good satisfaction Hans."
Thus imbued the world passes by one slow Tic Tock at a time. Tic buffs out Han's armor briefly taking care of a piece of burger that accidentally got spattered onto it. Got to keep you looking like the man Hans.
Tic romps over to the "Nil", looking at the bow and stern of the ship. "Tic is heading starboard seeking satisfaction along the bow." Tic heads to the bow, grinning as he pushes pirates overboard and carving a couple up.

"Hey goblins! I'm gonna steal your ship! Haha! Pirate the pirates!"
She draws her vibrosword and her pistol and aims at a goblin.
The laser beam connects, but does little more than leave a mark on the goblin's armor.
I think I need a bigger gun.

Gargamel shoots 24, who is now Incapacitated/or dead.
Tic kills/incapacitated 14, 12, ... poor 16, 13, 15 and dear gods 17 all plummet to their deaths.
The remaining human Sky Pirates look concerned. They'll take their turn soon. At least Alecto still needs to go right? Karchev you activated armor but are you doing anything combat too?
The Goblin Sky Pirates are agitated and fueled by anger now. They will attack also soon. Making sure you all have your turn first.
#24 is weilding two flaming swords! He is the captain. He bellows in anger.

Re: The 2nd Adventure ... Solid Oxide (Part 1: Getting There
Alecto's attention is immediately drawn to the goblin with the flaming swords. She hefts the plasma cannon around, leans into it, and pulls the trigger past the safety catch.
There's a clack as the firing aperture opens, revealing the seething maelstrom of blindingly hot ionized gasses within the magnetic bottle in the ignition chamber. The impulse coils hum malevolently, and then the air between Alecto and the goblin seems to catch flame! A sharp eye might notice the guide laser firing first, creating an ionized channel to help guide the plasma to its target...but you'd have to be very quick indeed.
Attack result: 10 to hit, 17 damage vs least armored part, and he's on fire.

The Pirate Ship, The Nill is devoid of Pirates! The only person standing on the ship now that the burning pirate ran off the edge and all the others were blasted into the aether is our Iron Tic! Once the Nil is emptied of her pilot and crew the ship reacts to the lack of crew in a very noticeable way.
It turns off.
As the entire crew of the Nil is annihilated by the heroes, shot, stabbed or just as likely thrown to their death...I suppose those few are still alive - until their parachutist-less bodies plummet to the ground makes them explode on impact, the Nil rapidly slows down, yet it remains, still afloat, with in the Ley Line.
The Goblins can be heard from across the way, most seem angry, several seem to be angry but still able to laugh at the non Goblin pirates being so quickly dispatched.

Fortunately Tic sees the ships drifting apart. He grabs onto a nearby length of rope, leaps over the nil using it as a fulcrum to swing himself under arround, and onto the Murader filled with goblins. As he goes over the edge of the Nil, he glaces back making sure the rope is tied to the mast. It is time for satisfaction.Total 20 to swing onto the murader
Tic leaps straight off the starboard side letting out about 100ft of rope, he then grips it tight pulling it taunt. His swimg is yanked down beneath the ships and then using the nil as a fulcrum his momentum carries him back up towards the bottom of the three ships, he lets out a bit more rop to ensure his swing carries him up onto the deck on the maurader. With a thud he lands cracking some deck boards (I3). He flourishes his vobro sword, waving at Hans.With a roar he yells trying to draw the goblins attention, " Tic needs some satisfaction!"

Re: The 2nd Adventure ... Solid Oxide (Part 1: Getting There
Sky Raiders - ROUND TWO
STORY
With astonishing reaction time, the heroes dispatched ... an entire ship of Sky Pirates! The Goblin crew seem amped up by Jazz and his astonishing music. Anyone who might get w/n 3 Pace (LBT) of Jazz is at -2 to all Rolls! The Goblins hoot and holler with excitement after their attacks on the heroes. They look fearless and ready to carry on with the attack.
As Tic hangs below the Marauder the Nil is left behind promptly. But whats this? The mighty Tic seizes the day and Burns like only a Juicer can, jumping overboard he swings around to land deftly on the Goblin Ship!
The Ley Line Goblin Sky Pirates Raid presses on against our heroes! Some forwards towards the Sky Rider, a few now turning to see who just boarded them from "behind". The "music" of Jazz can almost been seen in a nauseating wave as he plays on.

Re: The 2nd Adventure ... Solid Oxide (Part 1: Getting There
With Hans casting Slumber on the four Goblins:
Jazz halts in his tunes for a split second to give the stink eye to the dwarf. Jazz then continues to play unfazed.
Flek grumbles and yells profanities at Hans as he jumps up and down, also unfazed.
Both Gas, and Vas drop to their knees. Slip forwards and tumble off the airship. Dropping to their deaths while asleep.

"Holy expletive, Batman!" Ember shouts when she feels Hans' magic take hold.
Okay, okay, I can do this. I'm a merc now, what kinda merc don't know how to fight? I wish I had a grenade. Well, you don't have a grenade, so work with what you've got. Maybe some psychological warfare. Let's see... that 'music' is clearly supposed to unnerve us, so insulting it is likely to just encourage him... so maybe if I seem to enjoy it...
Ember starts... well, 'dancing' wouldn't be quite the right word, but it's probably a bit closer than 'convulsing', though some might thing it is the latter more than the former.
"Oh yeah, Sax-man! Sax me up! Play that horn! Louder, louder, more, more, more!"
In her wild, er, movements, Ember steps back a bit, shielding Gargamel with her body. If he goes down, the whole ship might go down...
Without waiting to see whether or not her efforts have had an effect, she levels her pistol at the sax-goblin and squeezes off a couple of shots, trying to knock the instrument from the ugly little thing's hands.
She then turns her Attention to the goblin that jumped onto their boat, giving him some of the same treatment.
"Hey shortstuff, I'm a better dancer than you, huh?"
That one's probably true, actually. She thinks, as she fires two shots at the goblin.

Re: The 2nd Adventure ... Solid Oxide (Part 1: Getting There
Although her taunting failed to unnerve the goblin, Jazz is still blown over board in an eruption of guck and blood as his saxophone flies up in the air and drops to the deck of the goblin sky pirate ship. Jazz gone now, the sax lays silent. Several of the goblins grumble at the lack of tunes. Bo's mutterings are cut short by his death. Shot up the little green guy tumbles off the Sky Rider.
Sadie slashes her crackling blue-white Psi Sword out at the goblin named Ro. The two briefly exchange jabs and slashes, the Cyber Knight quickly dispatches the goblin. Just as Sadie cuts down the green pirate she steps back from the dead creature then crys out. Her blade disappears and she drops to her knees holding her head. Moaning in pain she mutters, "Sayeen...no."
The rest of the goblins attack.
Zo shoots at Karchev, an energy blast from the hand cannon strikes the Line Walker doing [dice]0[/dice]. Ace Damage add [dice]3[/dice]. Total = 17 MD. UNFAZED.
Mo shoots his cannon at the Cyber Inight seeing she is distracted. He hits doing [dice]1[/dice]. UNFAZED.
Kas spins around upset at the lack of music. A shadowy bolt of energy strikes out of his little green hand at Iron Tic. The bolt hits doing [dice]2[/dice]. Ace Damages. Add [dice]4[/dice]. Total = 25 MD. SHAKEN, WOUND.
Flek, flames circling in a wild mad dance all around him as he fuels hate and destruction into his fire bolt screams, "Get that damn dwarf! He's ruining everything!" Flek starts moving like he is on crack, Juicer fast. (Hans will recognize the effect: Quickness) A fiery bolt rips out of his red forehead as he pulls the trigger on his flamethrower looking Weapon. Enraged and enhanced the bolt of concentrated fire flies at Hans connecting with the dwarf in a smoky impact. [dice]5[/dice]. With a jittery speed the little red goblin mentality projects a second bolt of fire at his new mortal enemy Hans. [dice]6[/dice]. Ace Damages. [dice]7[/dice]. Total = 27 MD. UNFAZED. UNFAZED.
Nas, dances around madly pointing at Flek and giggling.

"Take the wheel Hans, I have got these."
He released the wheel, shooting Nas with his shard pistol as he pulled his C-18 pistol from its holster. Little sod shot him so he was getting it back. With Nas down, he opened up on Flex and one of the others. He wasn't used to the Coalition pistol and having now used it was considering losing it. His Shard pistol struck their leader but was unable to hurt him.
"Time to switch to the blade" He said to himself.
