The Game System: This Scenario was made to test the "No Stars in Sight" system new rules "In Sight". A skirmishier version of the game, smaller than NSIS but using more miniatures than Five Parsecs From Home. It worked pretty well. I've played it with my wife, but I'll be able to play it solo in the future.PrologueTime: 2234.11.23Kinnison and his crew arrived Ochara in the Shullerd System. Beneficial Atmosphere type, small settlements some distance apart.
The colony is concentrated in one region of the world. Moderate biosphere. Wide spread plant life with large variety of animals. Planet in natural state. It has not been the subject of any terra-forming efforts. Alien plants are common.
Factions: Merchant coalition and Resort Corporation. No central power. The Merchant Coalition has a private Police. The main revenue is made by Health Tourism. The air and water are beneficial to Human's health.
Problems: Faction War. Infiltration by external faction (Shrught Mining Corporation). The mining corporation brought the S'snorr, promising them land if they scared the Resort people away.
The Actors in the ScenarioSashary Ghoum - One of the Merchants Coalition leader. Wants to talk to the S'snorr. Wants to make a deal with them so that the Mining Corporation looses influence. She will not fight and needs bodyguards.
The Enemy: "45" and his Cyborgs - Some say that there is no real Artificial Intelligence. Those who say that never dealt with "45". He's here working for the Mining Corporation.
The Enemy: The S'snorr - Centuries ago, an Unity Spaceship fell in the S'snorr's planet. They tried to claim it. The Spaceship protocol of self destruction failed. The primitive S'snorr reached the stars and in the process destroyed their planet's ecology. Now they are wanderers. They were given the deal of colonizing a part of Ochara, if they could expel the previous colonizers. Some of the S'snorr don't trust their benefactors. These do.
A S'snorr warlord against a S'snorr Priest.
The Allies: Mercs - Billy Thorn and The Psi Girls - Billy Thorn is a Psi with a very nice power. Around him, other Psies don't feel the terrible headaches that psychic powers unleash. And he prefers the beautiful sex around him. He's a Mercenary with many talents but little regard with the life of his girls. Until now he's been lucky. He subcontracted Kinnison for this gig.
The Allies: Kinnison and the Crew - They arrived Ochara running away from the Unity, trying to fix their broken ship and looking for a job. Kinnison was already acquainted with Billy Thorn. The job was there and although it smelled bad they really, really needed the money.
The Job: To escort and protect the "suit" to a meeting with the S'snorr Priest and strike a deal with him. Kinnison and his crew would protect Sashary Ghoum while Billy and the Girls would cover them.
The Priest was there, all right... But he wasn't alone...
Someone was ready to go a long way to cancel the deal...
It started really bad. "45" was a hell of a shot.
He had orders to kill the priest if he could and he tried to do it immediately, but the S'snorr was only knocked down.
Billy made the Girls move quickly, trying to gain the upper ground.
But the S'snorr and the cyborgs weren't going to let him get away with it that easy.
Billy was a good shot...
And one of the Cyborgs ate the ground, spilling oil and sparks.
The Priest rose again and hid better from view.
"45" took a girl down. Later she would spend some time in the hospital...
In the ruins, the S'snorr showed their accuracy and sense of battle.
Another Psigirl was knocked down and two others ran away.
The S'snorr kept shooting.
And one more girl fell. This one would take less time to recover.
Things were going pretty bad.
And one more girl fell. Was it Billy a bastard that couldn't keep his squad safe?
And finally the blue girl died.
But Kinnison's squad had delivered accurate suppress fire and the pseudo-reptiles started to loose ground.
One of the Psigirls - Lassara - did hold the line alone, killing several lizards with her psibolts.
The last cyborg and the lizards decided that the best part of valor was in fighting another day...
The meeting was finally possible...
Nearby, the Girls weren't at all happy with Billy boy...
Kinnison's crew made a deal with "45". And ensured that he kept his word inserting a little information code in his system...
Lassara acceptd Kinnison's offer to join the crew. He didn't have psi powers, but he had pain killers of the best kind.
