SWRPG Session 12

Soo,

Nira had some xp to spend, bought a rank in ranged light, and the Resolve Talent (taking one less strain when taking em involuntarily)

Snowy got a rank in melee

We have yet to see that Voss guy. Snowy might have history with their sister (a doctor). Ed n Nira probably don’t know that tho.

Sector we’re in is kinda industrial, majority of the people trapped by the quarantine work there rather live there. Food may be in limited supply.

Wandering the empty streets. Fortunately we have a map.

We don’t spot anything particularly out of the ordinary In the streets. “Bango Skank was here” graffiti. Some sort of path has been cleared, something been dragged through.

Mosey mosey. Spot something hopping over/between the rooftops, using the cables. Bit zipliney

Someone drops down and begins to approach us.

They have their weapons out. 4 of em. Probs locals.

Ask us what we’re doing.

One em’s got the drop on Nira a bit.

Snowy tells em we’re after samples

Reminder Mouth is with us as extra muscle

Locals say the virus is affecting people at night. Sounds like a double tap situation.

Watch out for Nero near the hotel, his gang are thievy.

Guys are on cables/ziplines and mechanical pulleys for getting around town while staying off the streets.

Nero’s not between us and the hospital (?) we’re headed to. Scouts may be out n about tho.

Nero sounds a bit like Neegan, keeping his guys strong while preying on everyone else.

Heading on to the hospital with our escort, locals taking point.

Hospital in sight. There is power, some lights on, but not a lot of em.

Vehicles and stuff arranged out front, acting as barricades. Feels a bit ominous. Whether for “zombies” or something else we don’t know.

Hospital entrance has been fortified too. Slot on the wall for one of them eye stalk camera bois.

Spot some traps around. Nothing super complicated, spiked barrels, bloody trails, no bodies, trip wires. Mines/explosives closer in to the hospital. Make it to the door without setting anything off.

Eyebot pops out.

Convince em we’re dropping off the supplies. The want us to dump the stuff and go.

A bit of negotiation/name dropping to get us inside. Get the locals let in too.

Bit of an airlock situation, 2 way mirror above, some speakers n stuff hooked up.

Medical table/scanner/supplies to one side. Card/guide for clearing the quarantine to one side too. Gotta clear the test, and depending on the results, varying levels of access.

Couple of the locals test positive and go through a different door to the rest of us. Apparently not a trash compactor. They’re off to be “treated”

They have an incinerator to deal with anyone that does come back.

Ed has no blood, so no test to take.

Go through, see a Doctory looking Twi-Lek female who welcomes us in, in her 40’s/50’s. Her name is Probably.

Hospital’s partitioned up with glass, so can see further than we can go, into the treatment areas.

Doc explains they don’t have a cure, but can keep it at bay. They know where it came from though.

Snowy’s leaning in to the sample collection. Prevention rather than treatment.

Virus mutates almost as soon as it gets into a host. Pre-infection samples are needed to (hopefully) develop an actual cure.

Which is why Jax wanted samples.

Doc believes the virus got out of a local lab, and that’s where it started.

Ed’s gonna pipe in with “Coincidence has been cancelled. I know a side quest when I hear one, where’s this lab, lady?”

Get the map out, she marks it out on the datapad. Not sure of exact location, but based on infection figures/cases, has a ballpark.

Head there, see who’s in the lab, if they have any info, or scour their systems etc for data/samples.

Oh yea, bang Deebo out, let her have a look. Nira is anxious of nosy people. But we were told to bring it here.

Some back n forth, most suspicious.

Doc Probably describes Deebo to a T, hands the droid over. Still a bit sticky/scuffed up, but in working order.

Deebo comes back to life, he seems to recognise the Doc. There are hugs.

There is, apparently, something we have to see. Leads us to a room/bacta tank. Surprise, it’s Routh!

She’s on the mend after the ship debacle, but still unconscious.

Deebo’s message contained info about fuel for the deathstar’s weapon. Had a renewable energy source that was mothballed by the empire. These are the plans/method of producing that. The alliance plans to use it to help, provide power across the galaxy for deprived places/break the monopoly/make the empire look bad etc.

Reminder that Ed also has these plans encoded in his brain box.

Overnighting in the hospital for safety.

Splat’s Write Up:

The group have reached the treatment center, delivered the much needed supplies, and passed on the stolen plans held within Deebo.

Upon arriving at the makeshift base, they discovered that Routh Skivta, the woman that appeared to perish in space above Brentaal IV, is on the mend and currently undergoing a bacta tank treatment.

Bad news arrived in the revelation that a deadly virus is loose in the sector, a virus that mutates based on the species of the host and has thus far proved fatal to those infected.

Death is not the end for those who suffer; as darkness falls, the dead rise, and the streets become unsafe.

Can the group solve the problem and restore access to the sector?
