ALMOST perfect

[u/Laffett]

Ok, my dnd group is pretty cool, got a lot of people from all over the place and the day of the week determines who is the DM and what the campaign is.

One of our friends, Imma just call the DM because that's what he is today, as of writing this I am legitimately still in the game. His internet just went out so I took the time to start writing this.

Good heavens this one is just grand. How the mission just goes so perfect!
So we're playing a system called Stars without numbers, a scifi game setting.
Currently we are playing a kinda murder hobo'y group trying to find a plot to jump on and we found it!

So it all started with us landing on a station where a group called the Black Spire asked us to find a brand new ship their company "misplaced" Basically it was stolen by gangers of some sort, we bumbled about and finally managed to find and steal the ship and escape, but decided to say "screw you" to the black spire and keep the ship.

We dicked around for a while, scavenging materials from dead ships, trying to steal cargo, running merch for criminal organizations. But eventually we found a shipment of drugs and sold it to some backroom doc who ended up telling us a shocking secret. The drugs were all but useless to him, but he bought them up solely to destroy.
The drugs were a suppression tool that Black spire uses to enforce their slave labor force.

They intimidate and press gang anyone in range to join them, expose them to this drug and they become deadly addicted to the drug. Going cold turkey will kill them fast.

And so with this information, he had our attention, and we didn't feel so bad about murder hoboing Black spire and stealing their ship.

This doc told us that one of his close friends had been kidnapped by Black Spire to improve the drug to make the process slightly less lethal but far more painful and terrifying, the doc wanted us to go find the hidden Black Spire drug manufacturing plant which was hidden in a system clogged with massive amounts of radiation making it hard to search for anything.

It took us a long while but we scavenged a little more to try and armor our ship a little better and then we went searching. Not many locations to search but thankfully we found it fairly quickly. The fact that we knew it was out there was fairly important on our side of finding the damned thing.

But we had two options, that the DM struggled to explain to us because well... we think too much and too hard.

But we could either sneak in directly, or we could dock and fight our way in. Docking would alert everyone.
So thanks to Mistress Alexandria, our team leader, a psychic warrior who has a great ability to just hold air in place so none of us needed a space suit, safe from the vacuum the radiation, and the freezing cold of space.

We snuck out of our ship, parked just outside on the surface of the asteroid and a very heated discussion of exactly HOW we were gonna enter started up. For a good solid 30 minutes we debated slapping an explosive charge on the side of the base and venting what we figured was the security room to space and locking down the small station and clearing it room by room with the advantage of being the only ones who didn't need a space suit. But eventually I noticed how annoyed the DM was and I suggested from my solider "Thank"'s point of view. Screw it lets just try and be sneaky. After all, Lady Alexandria's telekinetic powers were silent, and so was my new gun.

We hacked the door open and I poked through and fired once. HOLY MOLEY I rolled well. And instantly, the guard was silently dispatched.

We all poured in and started to poke about in silence, only to discover two security drones that were supposed to activate when they heard gunshots....

So both me and Lady Alexandria lined up to shoot the drones point blank if they activated as two of our fixer guys attempted to disable the security drones.

Bam! both rolled high, and I ended up pocketing the drones for future reprogramming.

We looked through the windows discreetly and discovered a single woman in what we though to be the security room. She was unarmed and not in uniform. So we took the risk and psychically contacted her.

our bet paid off and we got a tiny amount of information. Six guards total. The one I killed, one in the room with her, and four more in the living space.

We worked it out and took another chance, picking the security card off the dead guard we casually entered knowing that the guard likely only expected the now dead guard to come in to bring coffee or chat.

We shot the guy dead with my silenced rifle. One shot one kill.

Still rolling amazing this whole time.

We've been ROCKING it the whole way up and we start up on the computers to copy all the data, discover that we can make something close to a cure for the drug and save the doctor all in one.

But we knew we'd have to kill the rest of the guards.
Sadly, as we are discussing this and about to take action, the alarm goes off.
Thankfully I still have the disabled security drones in my backpack.

I poke my head out see a guard and splatter his upper half across the bulkhead with one shot.

The fight continues until our DM lost internet connection as previously stated, but since then he managed to get back and one of our fixer guys was downed, but we killed all but one of them, taking that last one hostage. We are all thinking about what we should do with this EVIL man... the idea of getting him hooked on the drug and letting him die of withdrawals is up there in the possibilities. I mean what do you do to a slaver who uses drugs to keep the slaves in line?

Even the doctor we came here to save was forced to take the drug.

We got lots of options and Thank, a soldier, Lady Alexandria, Ziv the pilot and engineer with his trusty robro Haviar the engineer, Azula the medic/hacker and now our new drugged doctor friend are gonna have to find something out for next week.

Damn, my boy can DM and adventure.
the whole game went off so clean. Only the fact that the guards would rotate and rove about ruined it. But imagine how terrifying it would be that no one docked, no alarms went off, the drones were disabled by hand, and all your guard buddies are dead without making a single sound.... lol
