Cavalier, Eclipse, Rock, and Nae-Dae go to inspect a Khanate planet, and find horrifying results.

 

Eclipse and Rock can take a HP for the fact that the Communion ship got one last lick in that's sending the ship towards Tarza's surface. With Cavalier's aid and some guile, the ship will make a soft landing... but it will still be a landing.

What Cavalier and Rock both get: the gray stuff that's cascading out of the windows of buildings appears to be receding slightly. Not at any rapid rate, but at a pace akin to glacial melt. In fact, it seems to be diffusing into the walls of the buildings.

 

What Rock gets: At the end of the street is a big tower that seems to be at the heart of the local equivalent of a traffic circle. And it's giving off somewhat more heat than the surrounding buildings.

 

What Eclipse gets: The material clinging to the people in the street is metallic, obviously, but it's made of something rather dense, with a highly tuned molecular lattice. It's actually slightly cooler than the surrounding area, as if it's producing its own means of venting temperature. This kind of metal is beyond most of the galaxy's means, but you've heard whispers of samples of it for sale for high price on the black market. Compu-something, it was...

Gah, sorry for holdup.

 

Rock and Eclipse both get that some of the images drifting through the air show life on Tarza as it must have been before the Communion made planetfall... and other images show it actually making planetfall. The images are out of order, but a pattern emerges - the tower they're in touching down in the circle, drones showering the area in nanotech, people being drawn into the tower or made to wait outside of it, kneeling as the nanotech rains down on them. Eclipse further notices that while these images seem to be relaying from port to port, little tendrils of them - thin strands of data - seem to reach up into a central hub hanging from the roof as they pass.

 

Tech-wise, Rock figures that this is a big wireless relay hub, with large data packets effortlessly streaming from one terminal to another. Given the size and detail of this info and how effortlessly it seems to transmit without cross-contamination, this thing is used to running a lot of complex processes at once.

I'm letting that one go as a surprise action, and, seeing as this thing is planted in the ground, asking it to make a Reflex save is a hilarious prospect. Given the wave of horrible things about to happen, we'll say that this is effectively a PL10 version of a >Greater Communion Drone - ATT +9 (+5 Melee, +5 Induction), DEF +5, FORT --, REF --, WILL +10, TOU +15 [imp 10], DMG +15.

So, with that in mind, the Drone manages to withstand the magma blast, and we're now in Initiative.

Communion Drone goes on 23.

Cavalier goes on 9.

It's not moving and it's fairly low defense, so it hits. And it's Dazed and Disabled already. Welp.

Eclipse: 25, Unharmed, 3 HP

Communion Drone: 23, Unharmed, Dazed (Eclipse's Action), Disabled, 0 HP

Cavalier: 9, Unharmed, 3 HP

Rock: 7, Unharmed, 2 HP

I will say that the Drone is still Dazed, but not Disabled. So, Hero Point for all. Cavalier's turn. He opens fire on the Drone, and manages to hit for +2 with Autofire. So, DC28 TOU. Which it resists.

Eclipse: 25, Unharmed, 4 HP

Communion Drone: 23, Unharmed, Dazed (Eclipse's Action), 0 HP

Cavalier: 9, Unharmed, 4 HP

Rock: 7, Unharmed, 3 HP

Rock is up next.

Rock makes progress towards that goal.

Eclipse: 25, Unharmed, 4 HP

Communion Drone: 23, Injured x1, Dazed (Eclipse's Action), 0 HP

Cavalier: 9, Unharmed, 4 HP

Rock: 7, Unharmed, 3 HP

Top of the round, and... we've got company. >Communion Antibodies, four of them. All Minions, all at PL9, and with no Regeneration. They're almost here ,and they go on 8.

Eclipse: 25, Unharmed, 4 HP

Communion Drone: 23, Injured x1, Dazed (Eclipse's Action), 0 HP

Cavalier: 9, Unharmed, 4 HP

Antibodies (4): 8, Unharmed, 0 HP

Rock: 7, Unharmed, 3 HP

Eclipse is up next.

The Drone takes another Injury, and is Dazed again.

Eclipse: 25, Unharmed, 4 HP

Communion Drone: 23, Injured x2, Dazed (Eclipse's Action), 0 HP

Cavalier: 9, Unharmed, 4 HP

Antibodies (4): 8, Unharmed, 0 HP

Rock: 7, Unharmed, 3 HP

Cavalier's turn. He, too, decides the best thing to do is to blast this thing. -5/+5 Power Attack, and still he misses.

And up come the Antibodies! Some of them out of the walls, some of them up through the floor. One of them comes at Rock with its Autofire attack. That hits, and as Rock's Defense is DC15, it's a DC28 TOU attack. Another one comes at Eclipse with a Stun attack. That misses. Two of them come after Cavalier, both with the FORT Damage attack. Both miss.

Rock is up next.
