Seeing his plot falling apart, the GM directs the running Ley Line Walker into the path of the Borg...who happens to be next door to the blazing bar the Juicer's at...which also happens to be the same spot the dragon accidentally exploded their guide.The heroes are united against a Coalition patrol decked out in MDC armor and MD weaponry.  After a furious 1 round battle (that takes 45 minutes real time), the Ley Line Walker and the Juicer are dead after one MD frag, the Coalition has fled, and the Borg and dragon are left with full HP to find another orphan guide.And so ends the third session.</blockquote>
