The Storm Planet Rescue Game

The Scenario begins The scenario begins with the characters at their positions on the Endeavour... Hook: The Comms Officer receives a hailing message from Admiral Johnson asking if he can dock his ship (a small cutter) at the forward docking port. Admiral Johnson comes aboard with his female assistanct, Lieutenant Karen Schmidt. They adjourn to the Briefing room where Johnson explains that Spacebase 5 has just received a distress message from the system of Gamma Kanei. He gives the Endeavour orders to proceed there immediately. Cliffhanger: As soon as the Endeavour enters orbit around Gamma Kanei IV (where the transmissions were coming from) it is caught by a powerful energy field which causes severe damage of all electrical machinery (cue explosions and other shit). Development: Sensors indicate that the energy field is being generated from the same point on the planet's surface as the transmissions. Every twenty minutes it pulses, causing more damage. More detailed surveying is rendered impossible by the fierce electrical storms which swathe the planet. The Party take a shuttle down to the point on the planet's surface where the transmissions are originating. Cliffhanger: As it descends the shuttle is hit by a fierce energy storm which scrambles all navigational controls, and much of the flight controls. Development: A navigational beam envelops the shuttle, guiding it down to a safe landing beside the transmission point - at the base of a huge five mile high cliff than encircles much of the globe (this area is the "Back Area"). Cliffhanger: Upon leaving the shuttle the Party are attacked by a number of vortex like, electrical creatures - that kill upon contact. Development: A concealed rock door in the cliff-face opens, and a beautiful, blue-skinned alien girl beckons the Party inside. She introduces herself as Shanna, and explains that she lives here with her father (it later transpires that she is adopted). Her father is a professor whose ship crashed on the planet some twenty years ago. At this point the landing team are invited to stay with Shanna and her father for a period. Assuming that they agree the following events can occur in whichever order seems most suitable

If they go with the girl... Back...
