Operation: ShoreLeave 40 (part 4)


Once the team arrived on the colony planet, they saw the disguised contraband being loaded onto a delivery truck that began driving away. By displaying their Union Guard ID's, they quickly convinced a few starport security guards to allow them to borrow their squad cars, and sped off after the delivery truck. When it suspiciously broke down at the side of the road, the characters pulled over (posing as starport security) and offered to help. The engine damage seemed like possible sabotage, but a new delivery truck had been called and arrived to transfer the cargo so delivery times wouldn't be missed. During all this, the stealthy Omul on the team tried to climb under the truck but was spotted and questioned. Meanwhile, the even stealthier Krissethi character managed to sneak under the truck and camouflage his skin to blend in. The second delivery truck left with the contraband, and the characters decided to try to follow at a safe distance. However, while clinging to the underside of the truck on the road, the Krissethi had to keep making Athletics checks to hold on. It wasn't long before he failed and fell to the street, suffering serious wounds from hitting the pavement at high speed. Sadly, though, that wasn't the worst of his problems, because although the first of the following characters' cars managed to swerve and miss him, the second car behind them didn't see it coming and failed their pilot check, running over the poor Krissethi character!
