Andromeda 2500
First Mission, Part 1 - Recovery
Gamemaster: James Earwicker
Time: Friday 20:00
Length: 4 Hours
Location: 206 The United Terran Forces (UTF) has received a distress signal from space and a reconnaissance ship has been dispatched to intercept. Unfortunately for the pilots of the UTF vessel, it is a trap. Your characters are members of a top-secret elite strike force, known as the Covert Assault Team (CAT), that is about to embark on its very first mission – to investigate the source of the distress signal and prevent the UTF ship from flying into a ambush. The covert nature of the team requires that secrecy be maintained to as great a degree as possible. Regardless, the characters will need to be prepared for anything and must ensure the success of the mission. Fortunately, your characters are not ordinary members of a military strike team - they are enhanced in numerous ways beyond the limits of normal individuals. That’s a good thing because they will need all of their extraordinary skills and abilities to survive this first real test of their capabilities. Andromeda 2500
First Mission, Part 2 - Immobilize
Gamemaster: James Earwicker
Time: Sunday 10:00
Length: 4 Hours
Location: 128 The Covert Assault Team is sent to Trillian to investigate the mysterious group encountered during the first adventure. Maintaining the covert status of the team will get increasingly difficult as the tension mounts and the venues become more crowded. Unlike the first adventure, this scenario unfolds in the middle of one of the busiest cities in the UTF. Ingenuity, perception, and quick thinking will be required to make sense of the story that the characters will get entangled in. As with any Andromeda 2500 adventure, however, it is a good idea to keep a weapon close at hand – even if that weapon is you! Andromeda 2500
First Mission, Part 1 - Recovery (Continued)
Gamemaster: James Earwicker
Time: Saturday 20:00
Length: 4 Hours
Location: 116 This adventure will bring a close to the first mission of the Covert Assault Team and will answer many of the questions posed in the first session.

Weaknesses will be revealed, strengths will save lives, new enemies will be made, and casualties will be unavoidable. Space is a dangerous place, are you ready for it? Ars Magica

the only key to which way they might have gone... Your team lead
figured them out, but now you're in a different structure, and as you
look around at your fellows you realize your team lead is
gone...

pours a mean drink. Problem is, all of the bars in town have been shut
down... and no one knows why. Even Sam hasn't been told, only that it's
city ordinance. Your job? To find out why it's been shut down, and get it
up and running... mostly so you can have a good drink afterwards...

At long last, he reached his destination: the Knobs of Cullidor. It would be here he would take refuge. It would be here he would await the Duchess of Woodwych.
An outdoor-based Nyrond regional "call to war" scenario that welcomes animal companions. For adventurers of average party level 2 through 12 and featuring a Butt-Kicker Option for tables who'd like a little more 'game' in their game.
