Turn 4, Battle report/aar

It sounded an easy gig. Roll up to the pumping and generating site and secure it for a visiting dignitary for the Sector Government. At least it started well.


Maybe we were a little casual as we approached. Striding quickly, Cap went ahead. As we approached the generator we heard a shot. 

The civilian walks towards the Exotics to warn them off.


One shot and down he went

Cap ordered Me and Bot to the right to cover from the pipe, Cromwell and Hari to the left where the med-centres were. The Cap and Brax went between, ready for trouble.

Then another shot rang out. The second mechanic decided to be aggressive running towards the Exotics and the rifle armed hotshot on the gantry sent him to Haven (an expression used on Verulamium to denote a kill).

We stepped forward, ready for a fight. Cap got off the first shot, missing one as she approached a building in his line of sight. It caught her completely off guard.

Bott and I reached the pipe and lined up shots. And missed.

Another female ran for the cover of the palletised stores.


They certainly moved like a professional crew. And the one that the Cap shot at brought him low. Brax ran to administer a stim-pack and he got up. She laid them both low. One hell of a woman if she had been on our side.


I took down the one behind the pallet and Bot the leader behind the centre tank.. Flash Hari took two down, one flanking to our left. 


and the Hotshot who took down the Cap and Brax.



Cromwell the other flanking our left.


The remaining gang member, up in the gantry, decided to call it a day and withdrew. We moved in, securing the area. Warned off the VIP in case there was some retaliation and ordered a med-evac for Cap and Brax.

Now we aim to clear up and prepare for any retaliation before exiting and claiming our dues.

We all hope Cap and Brax fight through.


That was a tough job. The twin laser-pistols proved more than handy when withing range. We out ranged them with our weapons but, once again, missed shots aplenty from both sides made it a tense mission. Not that they had a lot of luck on shooting beside 4 shots.

I had the notion after Cap and Brax went down that they would force the CSI off the site and claim victory.

They had already looted two buildings and downloaded computer codes before Cap fired. That would have been some haul.

Next is the after-battle sequence and finding out if they are rivals. And if Cap and Brax survive their injuries
