Turn 10
"RUN!!!" Arianna screamed from the airlock, her hand on the emergency close button. Suddenly clouds of coolant began spewing out of the power core between Roykirk and Gak, filling the room with choking fumes. The ricochet of the blast off of Roykirk's vest must have caused a puncture.
Roykirk and Gak took advantage of the obscuring fumes and did just as their captain commanded...and ran. They reached the airlock door and piled through it as the captain slammed down the emergency close button. Arianna ran for the cockpit as Roykirk applied a medstim to Gak...and Kaori screamed as the face of Assassin appeared in the viewport. They could hear the sound of the energy blade slashing at the door. "Arianna!!! Hurry!!!" Roykirk screamed as the shuttle powered up and pulled away from the docking ring.
Mission Postscript:
So the crew picked up some pretty nice equipment. Gak and his Mayhem gun, and Arianna with a Havoc Pistol, both of which pack a decent punch at close range. Roykirk came up with two nice pieces of armor, the flack vest and the shield belt, along with an energy rifle. We'll probably end up giving the vest to Gak and the belt to Arianna. Our possible new crew member, Kaori, had a really nice piece of equipment with her...sensor goggles, which allows the wearer to search a room without using an action.
Selling off the remaining equipment, I ended up with 12 universal credits. I sold off the machine pistol, ballistic grenade, the tech patch, and the objective data.
Now at this point, I would have the option of hiring Kaori to my crew, and at that point she would become a permanent member of the crew. I would flip her card over, and assign her a role (I'm thinking I need a tech...). I can use some of the credits to repair damage to my ship, to upgrade some of the systems, and to buy other items.
So that's it. First mission successful (with an * for the rule that I botched on Turn 9...if Gak had not moved he would not have been able to sprint past that other Assassin and would have to deal with it to get to the ship. But I'm still counting it as a win.)
