>>24370313

Lets go in screw waiting if we wait too long hard shells may end up killing everyone in the know. Which means less precious info to salvage.

>>24370547
Aren't there only synthetics on the ship?

>>24370611
There is know guarantee they would know some of the real juicy info. Best go in while its hot due to the fighting which makes excellent distractions.

>>24370547
okay.
>>Board the ship immediately.

You scan the wreckage, and identify a suitable spot to dock your ship. You align your ship with the frigate's cross section and fire the boarding umbilical. The umbilical hooks to the bulkhead with a solid thud. You are now connected.

You put on your rebreather over your hunting mask, and proceed.

The firefight has died down somewhat, though you are still unsure of the winner.

You run through the umbilical and breach the bulkhead. You find yourself in some sort of storage compartment, with crates stacked everywhere. The room seems to be pressurized.

To your left you hear sporadic gunfire.

You engage your cloak.

Do you:

A: Examine the crates around this storage room
B. Head towards the gunfire
C. Try to make your way to the bridge

>>24370683

>>24370611
We have no idea. We heard intercepted some transmissions last session and some anons were using meta knowledge to say "Oh, Weyland is definitely running a deniable breeding op using androids." Our character currently has no fucking clue.

>>24370683

>>24370683
A.

Have to be careful of hard meat hiding spots.

>>24370727
>heard intercepted

Excuse me, it seems I must commit sudoku immediately.

>>24370710
You engage your scout mask's superior scanners and take a moment to sweep the room.

Most of the crates are still sealed. Most contain the usual supplies - rations, weapons, and munitions. There is one crate far in the corner. It has been opened and re-sealed by welding.

You detect a very faint thermal signature inside, even from this distance, it's hard to make the outline. No wonder you could not sense it from your ship.

You hear the chatter of some heavy weapon to your left.

Do you:

A. Investigate the crate
B. Investigate the gunfire

>>24370833

>>24370833
The box! The box!

>>24370851
>>A. Check the Crate

You examine the suspicious crate in detail.

It's a cubic crate somewhat taller than you and just as wide.

It is different from the others in its construction. The alloy used is far thicker and heavier than the rest. Perhaps this was used to store volatile explosives.

You examine the door. It seems to be welded shut from the inside. You are sure you can open it easily with your plasma caster, but doing so will alert everyone nearby to your presence. Worse - it may ruin the contents.

You can also try to pry it open with your reflex disc. The weld does not look that strong, and you think you can open it with some effort.

The gunfire is growing louder and closer.

Do you:

A. Fire a plasma bolt at it from your plasma caster.
B. Try to cut through the welding with your reflex disc
C. Leave it for now.

C.

Lets not go charging into decisions, lets be the patient hunter

>>24371082
>>B. Try to cut through the welding with your reflex disc

You leap aboard the crate, de-cloak, and power up your reflex disc with a hum. The cutting field enhancing an already mono-molecular edge slices through the weld.

You carefully guide the disc along the edge of the door all the way around. It takes a few minutes, but at last the door is loose. You carefully pry it loose to swing it open.

You jump down and look inside.

You see the corpse of a recently deceased male colonial marine. There is a gaping hole in his chest.

Suddenly, something flashes out of the corner of your eye. You feel something pounce towards you from the dark depth of the crate. Your mask attempts to track it, but at such close ranges, it's not able to resolve triangulation. You have moments to act.

>>B. Bring up your claws to shield your face (Medium)

You bring up your claws in a defensive stance, and brace for the impact. To your surprise, however, it seems your adversary missed its pounce and narrowly jumps past your shoulder.

You turn quickly and see that it's a broodling of the hard-meat - a small but ferocious chest burster. It hisses at you and leaps towards you again. This time, you effortlessly snatch it out of the air and twist its neck. It shudders and dies.

You clip the corpse to your trophy belt. You turn again to the dead marine. He has a data slate in his right hand and a torch in his right.

As you proceed to pick it up, you hear a massive explosion down the hall. You quickly re-engage your cloak and see six or seven humanoids enter the storage room performing a fighting retreat against a horde of black beasts.

Do you:

A. Go inside the crate to shield yourself from the crossfire and observe
B. Jump on top of the crate and observe
C. Go for the door on the other side and exit the storage room.

>>24371470
Huh he is extra good hand AND lucky pity he is dead. Well at least we took the trophy from what killed him.

>>24371475
>>B. Jump on top of the crate and observe

You quickly snatch the data slate and stuff it in your belt pouch. You grab the top edge of the crate and silently pull yourself up. You turn to the conflict and observe.

You are impressed by the humanoid fireteam's coordination. They cover each other flawlessly and relentlessly hold off the hard-meat incursion. They weave and dodge around the crates, and through this whole time, they are silent. Perhaps they communicate in the different manner.

Just as you think they're thinning the horde, one of the air vents above you pops open and several black-beasts drop down from the above.

One lands square on a humanoid and effortlessly tears him in two and milky white liquids splash everywhere. But in his death throes, the humanoid triggers an explosive device and kills himself, his comrade and three of the enemy.

The remaining humanoids seem to be holding there ground. Then, from the other end of the room, you something unbelievable. A black-beast (with a blue tint) the size of a runner drone explodes from another air vent and extends two pairs of translucent wings.

It swoops down through the air and decapitates a humanoid with a swing of its tail. It again takes to the air and turns towards you!

Do you:

A. Break cloak and shoot it down with the plasma caster. (DC: Easy)
B. Jump down from the crate and break line of sight.

>>A. Break cloak and shoot it down with the plasma caster. (Pass)

You disengage your cloak and fire off a plasma shot. The ball of superheated energy his the flying drone head-on, causing it to explode with a vicious pop.

One of the humanoids spots you and opens fire with his rifle. You quickly roll off the crate and take cover behind it. The battle is still undecided. There are only three humanoids left, but the hard-meat horde seems to be thinning quickly. You re-engage your cloak.

Do you:

A. Attempt to leave the room and head to your ship
B. Attempt to leave the room and try to locate the bridge

I don't suppose enough of it remains to take as a trophy?

>>24371824
>We need to make sure they can't tell their superiors that a Predator has been confirmed active.
That is a good point. We could achieve that by blowing up the entire ship though.... maybe pushing it to crash on pandora?

A lets get back to our ship and blow this place the hell up before anybody gets the message out that we are here.

>>24371854

Three-Claw: He hunts planets.

>>24371854

We're on the other side of the solar system.

>>24371843
Yes, but if we proceed to the bridge we can check their comm logs, and look through their data on Pandora, and ensure first hand that there is no evidence of our presence leaving this ship.

>>24371774
>>A. Attempt to leave the room and head to your ship

You quickly make your way towards the door leading to your ship. The fire-fight behind you intensifies.

You reach the door and enter the hall way, at the end of which is the umbilical to your ship. Suddenly, the ceiling drops away and a warrior drone leaps down to face you. He hisses and prepares to pounce.

>>A. Take the initiative! Charge first! (Critical success)

You leap towards the beast and swing your spear downwards.

It attempts to dash backwards to dodge the blow while whipping its tail towards you, but you're simply too fast.

The blade of your combi-stick cleaves effortlessly through the creature's left shoulder and cuts a diagonal line down its chest. It remains still for a moment, then falls part into two pieces. Acid pools and hisses through the metal floor.

Do we:

A. Take its head as a trophy and run to our ship.

You run through the umbilical and retract it behind you. You quickly drop the two trophies into storage and climb into the cockpit.

You throttle up the engine and fly away from the doomed frigate.

You read over your sensor logs. While you were aboard the frigate, Weyland command has responded to your spoofed status message. They are sending a cleanup team to to your location.

Do you:

A. Destroy what's left of the frigate with your bore cannons.
B. Leave them to their fate and jump out.

>>24372294
YES, YES, RUIN THEIR SHIT.

>>24372294
>>24372309
Nah, if we just blow the whole thing we can (probably) make it look like they went 'hey shit, containment isn't an option anymore - blow the damn thing'.

We're not here to kill *everything*.

Perhaps we could throw out some distinguishable, un-needed, gear that was part of our craft? It could be found in whatever wreckage remained, leading them to conclude we were caught in the explosion?

>>24372294

What no, we've manipulated events such that they'd assume we're dead. Let's not make them even more paranoid than they already will be.

>>24372224
>> A. Destroy what's left of the frigate with your bore cannons.

You align your plasma bore cannon with the wreckage and open fire. Each shot cores through hull to vaporize large sections of the ship. One of your shots must have triggered an ammunition storage, causing secondary explosions to ripple across the hull.

The frigate is no more. You fly another pass around the wreckage and use your plasma turrets to shoot still living specimens floating in space.

Satisfied with the results, you engage fold-space and head for the dark side of the gas giant.

You emerge within the gas giant's gravwell, on the other side of Pandora. You engage your cloaking systems immediately. You are undetected, but from your current position, you are unable to get accurate sensor readings on Fey'lenn.


Do you:

A. Slowly creep out from behind the gas giant and scan Fey'lenn in detail.

Just a hunch, but... it was probably when we cracked it in half with our plasma cannons.

>>24372361

You bring the human data slate and scan it with your decryption computer. You wait as it pours over the data.

You notice two sections of interest - a partial transcript of the last moments of the ship, and a series of images.

Which one shall we look at first:

A. Read the partial transcript
B. Look at the images.

>>24372398

>>24372452
Yea, I don't see any reason to have two separate posts here. We are going to look at both

A. I wish to know if any 'other' transmissions were sent prior to the frigate being dispatched. Especially planetary.

>>24372446
You examine the transcript. Much of it was lost to corruption in the data, but you make out what you can.

USS Excella: Attention Weyland Yutani vessel Delores, we have received your distress signal and are here to help. What seems to be the problem?

WSSV Delores: Thank you for your assistance. Our engine went critical and we have wounded everywhere. We need as much of your personnel aboard as you can spare. Please, we need help.

USS Excella: understood. We are sending four marine detachments with medical experts and engineers. Standby to receive them.

WSSV Delores: Yes, thank you. May we know if there are any other USMC forces in the vicinity to aid us? We have many wounded here.

USS Excella: Negative, Delores. Just us I'm afraid, but we'll do the best we can.

WSSV Delores: That is excellent. Thank you for your help. We are ready to receive your marines.

______________

The transcript ends here.

You then sift though the images. They seem to be taken very recently, of interior of the frigate.

They all show a variety of Pandoran wildlife being subjected to autopsies and dissections.

There is nothing else of value left on the data slate.

You return to the cockpit.

You slowly creep out from behind the gas giant, and see Fey'lenn in full.

There are at least six Weyland capital ships around orbit.

Do you:

A. Try to fly closer and examine them in greater detail

Well then.

I was gonna say B, but that appears unnecessary.

>>24372679
>>B. Remain at current range and increase power to your sensors.

You maintain your distance and begin your scan. Of the six ships, four have military-grade energy emissions and the remaining two seem to be logistics or research vessels.

You also notice numerous automated recon buoys patrolling around the moon, each constantly emitting sensor pings.

While you are confident you won't be able to be detected by one such ping, taking several at the same time might give them enough information to triangulate your position.

You will need to think of an approach.

Do you:

A. Try to formulate a distraction somehow and slip in during the chaos.
B. Try to brute force your way in by dashing for the planet at maximum speed. They have no ships capable of catching you when you are running at top speed.
C. Try to engage stealth and slowly drift your way past them, and react if something goes wrong.

A. We need to figure a way to bypass their careful watch. Merely drifting in could cause as many problems as revealing ourselves at top speed. Would the trophies be large enough to catch the ping and turn their attention to what may be left of the Frigate?

>>24372781
>>C. Try to engage stealth and slowly drift your way past them, and react if something goes wrong.

You engage your stealth systems and cut your engines to low power. You begin to drift your way towards the moon.

You notice a burst in traffic, as several small craft reaches orbit from the planet heading towards the out-skirts of the system. One of the larger Weyland destroyers also change course to follow them.

They are most likely off to investigate the frigate wreckage.

You maintain your current speed and heading.

You are now inside Fey'lenn's gravity well, and the density of Weyland drones increases drastically.

A. Continue past the drones and use your piloting skills to dodge the sensor drones (DC: Medium)
B. Stay at your current location and look for alternatives.
C. De-cloak and make a dash for the moon's surface. (DC: Easy)

Here comes the FUN

Rolled 12

>>24372937
Get double 10s then a 1 dice gods as usual.

>>24372956
>>A. Continue past the drones and use your piloting skills to dodge them (critical failure)

At first, you are able to dodge them easily. But as the pings get more and more numerous, you find it to be more and more difficult.

Suddenly, your entire ship shudders as an explosion rocks your right engine pylon. You immediately realize that some of the sensors double as magnetic mines!

The explosion drops you out of cloak, and you immediately throttle up the engine. Your left engine response immediately to give you a burst of speed, but your right engine is unresponsive.

You detect the launch of several missiles in the distance, and they are closing on you fast.

With only one engine, it will be difficult for you to dodge the drones/mines.

Do you:

A. Attempt to turn back and try to engage foldspace. (DC: Medium-hard).
B. Open fire with your plasma turrets and shoot down as many drones as you can. (DC: Medium)
C.Try a risky short-range fold space jump to go past the drones, but coming out of fold in atmosphere will likely drain all your power. (DC: Hard)

>>24373074

C

We need to take a risk at this point.

>>24373168
>>B. Open fire with your plasma turrets and shoot down as many drones as you can. (DC: Medium)

You engage your plasma turrets in point-defence mode. Weyland drones around you explode one by one as they are shot down, but the volley of missiles behind you closes fast.

Worse - another cloud of drones are released from one of the ships in the distance and head towards you.

You need to make a decision.

A: Decrease power from your engines and route them to your plasma turrets to increase their firing rate.
B. Decrease power from your plasma turrets and overcharge your engine to reach the atmosphere before the missiles do.

Not what I'd call pressing at the moment, but how much communication with our clan are we going to have?

>>24373246
None - until we return, that is.

>>24373239
b) we're not a warship.

>>24373239

B.

>>24373279
You route power from the turrets to your engine and receive an immediate boost to your speed.

You gun your lone engine to its limit and scream towards the planet.

Your heat shield flares white-hot as it slams into the atmosphere. Your entry angle is not optimal and your speed is far too fast for your approach vector, but your ship takes the beating with gusto.

Behind you, the missiles detonate as Fey'lenn's thick atmosphere engulfs them in flames.

Let's roll D20 to see how we do:

1-5: We take moderate damage.
5-10: We take light damage
10-15: We take no damage
15-20: We get even more awesome.

We take the average of the 1st 3 rolls. Go.

Light damage. Rejoice!

>>24373412

You strain your muscles to keep the ship in control, when suddenly, a burst of cannon-fire erupts from the surface. Soon, more guns open fire upon you.

You do your best to weave through the shots, but with only one engine operational, several slugs find their mark.

Your ship shudders and groans as slugs eat away at your ablative armor. You try to line up your plasma bore cannon with one of the ground-side guns, but find it inoperational. A stream of lucky hits must have knocked it out.

You barely make it past the killing field.

You notice several contacts closing in you. They're atmospheric fighters. You need to think fast.

A. Try to land your ship in the dense forest up ahead.
B. Try to crash into a body of water and submerge your ship.
C. Try to lead them away from the ground batteries and dogfight them.

>>24373607
>>B. Try to crash into a body of water and submerge your ship

You aim towards a nearby lake, and run a quick scan to verify its depth. You find it to be quite deep.

You aim your ship towards the lake and cut the throttle at the last second. You shut off the already strained power plant, and crash into the water like a falling rock.


The visual displays become distorted and warped as you sink towards the bottom.

You see several projectiles streak past you, as the fighters rake the surface with their auto-cannons, but you are safe for now.

Do you:

A. Try to find a suitable place on the lake floor to land your ship.
B. Activate your aquatic engines and stay near the surface to observe.
C. Activate your primary engine to pop up from the surface and ambush the fighters.

>>24373689
Tough choice
A

>>24373689
A

Lets let the poor ship rest and maybe see if we can do some basic field repairs. We did a number on the poor thing.

They know we are in this lake, we need to get our cloak up and running and then escape elsewhere.

>>24373762
this. lets cloak and land somewhere not so crawling with people searching for us

>>24373762
>>24373773
Our ship is covered in water
The cloak wont work

>>24373717

You spot a plateau well camouflaged by some sort of kelp, and decide it would make for a good landing spot.

You engage your aquatic engines and gently set your ship down. Normally, your ship's newest stealth systems will allow you to cloak even underwater, but you have no more reserve energy left in your power plant and must wait for it to recharge. You run an internal diagnostic on your ship and find your main plasma bore cannon and the right engine to be in-operational.

Most of your abdominal ablative armor has been stripped clean by the auto-cannon fire.

But aside from that, everything looks to be fine.

Do you:

A. Wait inside for a while and let the ship's power plant recharge, just in case you need to move quickly
B. Exit the ship and assess the damage from the outside.

a.

>>24373804
Normally, that is true, but when we picked our ship, one of its perks is a cloaking system that can work anywhere.

The status quo is fine for the moment.

>>24373812
A, once we get to breathable air and we can manage a bit of work on an engine we need to do so.

Aside from that we need to establish goals here 1) what exactly are we looking for / doing 2) How do we hope to accomplish it 3) is it good hunting ground 4) if not is it salvageable 5) What happened to dad

>>24373828

You remain at your seat and watch the energy reserves slowly climb up as your fusion generators do their work.

You take some time to look around. You notice many aquatic creatures swimming back and forth around you, many of which you recognize.

From a distance, you notice a large, aquatic fish-like beast barrelling towards you. It has a large, hammer-shaped head and rows upon rows of sharp teeth. It has a long fin on its back and a razor sharp tail.

It latches itself on to the nose of your ship and proceed to slam its tail against the ship's exterior repeatedly.

Aside from being disconcerted by the sound and vibrations, you're quite sure it's not capable of actually doing any damage.

Do you:

A. Continue waiting and leave it to do its thing.
B. Exit your ship and get rid of it, perhaps netting you a trophy.

>>24373895
A) while we're no coward, we've got bigger concerns on our mind and aquatic combat isn't really our area of expertise.

B. We need a trophy to prove our story.

Right - after thread discussion time.

What are our overall goals on pandora? Finding out what happened to our father is one yes... but what beyond that?

>>24373964

1. Investigate Weyland's intentions for the matriarch
2. Contain any infestation of xenomorphs, if possible
3. Uphold family honor by finding out what killed Dad and how to avenge him.

>>24373964
Do our mission for the matriarch is our primary goal and finding out what killed pops and if we can avenge him would be a secondary goal.

>>24373964
Collect Sulley's descendant's skull.
