[QUOTE="Katana_Geldar, post: 5395311, member: 85476"] Okay, I'm running it saturday and I think I have managed to combine all the elements I want. The mission: A year ago a cfrew of Alpha Complex citizens was sent on a space mission at the order of Friend Computer, they disappeared without a trace (probably due to actions of commie mutant traitors!) and recently Friend Computer has been able to locate them. In his omniscience, Friend Computer has dispatched a team of three Ultraviolet-level scientists to get to this ship, they will be kept in suspended animation until they reach their destination. Running the ship will be a team of troubleshooters, the last survivors of an exhaustive screening process. It is their job to make sure the scientists survive the voyage as well as shoot any commie mustant traitors who attempt any sabotage. Now for the real story: On the original ship, Psion agents managed to smuggle an experiment chemical on board for testing purposes. The chemical (which I am just going to name "grey goo" but I'm welcome to more official suggestions) was developed by R&D to try and surpress mutant powers in the cloning process...but instead it resulted in anyone coming in contact with it losing control of their mutant powers. I am planning on having Psion troubleshooters, as they want to see how successful the chemical was, as well as Anti-Mutant agents who want to put a stop to this. I'm just having two settings, the player's ship and the lost ship. On the players ship there will be a few things going on, but I'm not sure if I am doing them all: * There is a Psion stowaway on board who gives the player Psions orders as he's a Control, he's also a target for anyone who finds him, specifically Anti-Mutants. * Players have conflicting orders about killing/protecting the scientists, but the scientists are going to be killed by Friend Computer anyway. * A chance for some EV action with the broken antenna. On the "Alien" ship, this is where the acxtion is going to be: * Out of control mutants trying to kill the troubleshooters * Grey good ungulfing them * Broken Alpha Complex-style stuff on the ship, dodgy termination booths and computer terminals etc. And then, when they have had enough they are told that the ship is leaving without them! And finally, just as they are talking about what is going on, they are escorted off the ship by Internal Security and marched out of the airlock without space suits on...into a large hangar! The whole thing was actually some sort of simulation put on by Mystic infiltrators in Internal Security so nothing ever really happened at all and they stayed right inside Aplha Complex. Writing it out like this has actually helped me. [/QUOTE]
