So we finally got around to finishing up our Spycraft mission. But first we played some card games. I forget the name of the game, but in it each player is a different race with a space fleet. The object of the game is to take out a player's fleet and destroy their flagship. Last person standing wins. Pretty cool game. Noah won the first game (just barely taking me out) and I managed to win the 2nd.
Then we got to Spycraft again. We finally were going to infilitrate the Russian Space Science complex. Miles conned and bribed our way into meeting the Chief Administrator as a BBC news crew. Who we then knocked out, along with his guards. We then ransacked his office and disguised ourselves as said Admin and guards.
After hacking the Admin's computer it was fairly easy to find the offices of the former Cosmonaut in charge of the Communism Terror group. Ransacking the office and hacking HIS computer got us plans for some kind of strange device and some mangetic computer tape (which we never did find out what was on it). Anyway after learning about growing storms along the East coast and Gulf of Mexico, we figured out that the plans were for some kind of weather control device.
So we flew EAST instead and landed in Los Angeles. There we met with our Agency handler and managed to track down the terrorist base that had the weather control device thanks to remembering that what set us on these people in the first place was a Mexican Finance Minister. So we start to try and figure out how to take out the base when Miles realizes that with the increased threat rating of the mission (up to Black) we had enough Gadget points to requisition a submarine. A full on Los Angeles class nucleur submarine. Which we do.
As we head down into the Gulf aboard the Houston, we discover that the terrorist floating base is being guarded by at least a half-dozen subs. What sound to be older diesel Russian subs. So the Captain pulls a Crazy Ivan so we can back off and plan. Which reveals the CHINESE sub that had been stalking us. Miles stalls the Chinese sub for a bit (who tried to order us to surrender) and our captain pulls some tricky moves and just OWNS the Chinese sub, sinking it.
We try to think of another way to hit the floating base. Call in reinforcements? Will take to long and the coast will get hammered by the THREE building hurricanes. HALO drop Miles in? Into the center of this messed up storm system? I think not. Have Brendan mini-sub his way in, dodging past the diesel subs to plant explosives? Likely fighting Russian SCUBA commandoes the whole time? Sure its very cinematic and James Bondy, but very poor odds. Lets call that plan B.
So I remember one of my class feats forces the GM to give me a hint. And so Noah reminds me that our sub, in addition to its arsenal of torpedoes, is packing CRUISE MISSILES. So we stand off a ways and the captain fires off a pair of them, just to be certain. BOOM! Good-bye deadly weather machine and we can head back to port.
Happily I earned enough experiance to get Minder, my RCMP psychologist and hacker up to level 3. Two more levels and I can get that Profiler prestige class I want...
