There were a lot
of unexpected events during a mission where the team was supposed to
follow a smuggled shipment of Chiraktis eggs. The eggs, among other
foods, were loaded onto a food delivery truck and the characters
decided to follow. When the truck broke down (clearly it had been
sabotaged), the characters convinced the food delivery crew to allow
them to wear their uniforms, and posed as the workers when another
truck showed up to continue the delivery. Several of the team hid in
the back, while two were in the cab with one of the new drivers—who
turned out to be a smuggler. Our alluring, devious Reln (mentioned in
these week's posts) held him at gunpoint so he would tell them where
the contraband was to be delivered, but he managed to send out a
message on his MPC (smartphone.) Two heavily-armored skimcars showed
up on either side of the driving truck, with mounted rotary cannons
on the front of their vehicles.
The Reln proved her aptitude with
grenades once again by tossing one out the window, right into the cab
of a skimcar, blowing it up from the inside and taking out the
driver. The second skimcar quickly pulled directly behind the truck
it pursued, hoping to use the truck as a shield against the Reln in
the front, but suddenly, the back of the truck opened and the rest of
the team opened fire. A brave Omul suddenly leapt from the truck,
landing right on the skimcar's front windshield with a splat. Another
Reln player did the same, and the driver of the skimcar shot through
the window at them as they shot back. The Omul was hit and fell off,
but the Reln climbed through the opening in the front window and got
inside the cab with the driver to finish him off. It was one of the
most cinematic battle sequences I've seen—Shore Leave players,
thanks for an awesome weekend!
