The Ancient One
|
As Koosaloo is once more given the book Wajangtoey pushes past Sonny, determined to make a glorious rush towards the enemies as soon as the doors open. As they glide aside, even the eager Shofixti feels a bit worried.
The bridge is filled with VUX. Ensigns and Marines crowd it, moving back and forth between large control stations that detail the progress of the refuelling. It seems it will soon be complete, but isn't yet. If you can take the ship quickly, you may be able to sail this baby home without the Hierarchy ever knowing!
An Ensign glances your way and slams a button as his eyes widen. Sirens begin blaring, red lights start flashing and far off you can hear the sound of heavy boots heading in your direction. Oh well, it was probably never going to be that easy.
"Hurry!", the Admiral chimes in, "We need to get to those control stations! We need to shut down the alerts and lock down the bridge before we get overrun!".
SubCommander ZEK swishes around in a flamboyant fashion and laughs in a hearty manner.
"Welcome Admiral! I know the brig is quite dreary, but I am honestly shocked that you found it tedious enough to arrange for a private excursions such as this! Where are your manners I wonder? Still, once you've been escorted back I'll ensure you have some reading material for the rest of your journey!"
The troops around the admiral look at him with adoring eyes and then turn towards you, their muscles taut and their faces grim. They seem much more... determined than the VUX you've faced so far. This is going to be a tough battle.
Map:
OOC:
Okay, so now we're into the last part of this all out battle and you guys are going to need to be coordinated and sharp to win. There are a few special rules and issues to keep in mind. Let's start with the good ones, shall we!
Travelling Circus
You've managed to gain access to the bridge before the ship was fuelled and thus have a good chance of getting away before other hierarchy troops arrive. Everyone gets 10 XP. that means everyone bar Sonny gets a further level boost and thus has full health and gets to pick an upgrade.
Control stations
The Control stations are vital to ship functionality. Because of this, neither the enemy or you will risk destroying them in battle. You can consider them walls when it comes to ranged weapons, except for grenades as psychic powers.
Now the bad news.
Bridge under attack
The bridge alert has been sounded and everyone on board is heading there. As long as you don't manage to lock down the doors, every third turn 1-3 Spathi troopers will spawn from the northern door. Every fifth turn 1-2 Ilwrath Warriors will spawn at the south door. Every ninth turn 2-4 Ensigns will spawn at a randomly selected door. This will continue until lockdown.
Lockdown
Once you've managed to place the Admiral at one control panel and the M:bot at another (the two lower panels are okay) so that they both have 1 AP to spare you can initiate lockdown. This will lock the bridge doors down and vent atmosphere from the ship, ensuring that you have no more enemies rushing to take back the bridge.
Admiral ZEK
This is a charismatic fellow whose troops will die for him. Anyone within a 5*5 square centered on this fine fellow gains 1 attack dice regardless of weapon used. There's a flip side to this. If ZEK is killed, morale will plummet and all enemy troops will lose all AP during the two next turns. If ZEK is merely rendered unconscious they will lose 1 AP for the two next turns. ZEK can be rendered unconscious by receiving two stunning blows in the same round. Once down, he will not get back up during this battle.

I'll take another offensive upgrade.
I'll try to get the lay of the map before things start moving again. Maybe someday I'll get my PC back in action.

That would be perfect. It's only a problem with imagedump sites being blocked at work, so that should eliminate the issue entirely.

No it doesn't. Luki's link is working, though, so no worries.
