Rendezvous with the spelljamming captain

While they are negotiating with the Captain, Matsumoto tries to connect with the AbM network to get eyes on the squad and share his ID with them as their new Taichu, and get thier IDs as his new buka.

The CCW Captain

He would recommend going to the planet of Voria since it would have the resources to allow beings such as the crew relative freedom of movement.

The AbM Contingent

The team is currently offline and unable to share any information. When Matsumoto gets within rage of his unique psychic power they will activate and share their information.

Unless another agency comes across the package and triggers the self defense response, but this has not happened.

The AbM Contingent

Roland will also be spending time with Wren and Garra once he's back on the ship.

"Sarge, I'm not completely up to speed on how long ot takes to be able to set up a return teleport, but would it be possible to get to Center and get the General and his people to thr CCW embassy and then get back to where this ship is berthed? Either that or the General and his crew get to ride with us a bit longer."

Garra is tired but slowly recovering, the curse she is suffering from is taxing.
Wren is dealing with the constantly changing the environments the best he can, he is happy to be alive.
The Silhouette Squad is recovering from their ordeal on the prison planet.
The former T.G.E. prisoners are alive and keeping quiet, a couple believe the escape is a trick by the T.G.E. to break their will even more so they stick to their prison conditioning as a survival tactic.


4 days later ...

The Spelljammer ship drops out of FTL and makes her way to Neo Raider City, the largest port on the chaotic criminal planet. Paying the appropriate payments to land he places down in his normal spot, Bay 11, and concludes the contract set up by the Mistress.

With the contract done the Captain is no longer on the hook to cast the spells every day to keep Wren alive.

Handing over the down payment will keep the Captain on retainer until the crew conjures up the rest of the credits or the time expires. He will browse his contacts for possible jobs while his team performs minor maintenance and servicing that can only be done planet side in a maintenance bay.

Finding the Guntai

1000 KM from any community Matsumoto finds the drop pod containing his Guntai. As he approaches the IFF verifies that Matsumoto is the proper person and the pod unfolds to deploy his formation. The last thing he needs to do is apply his own genetic material to the Gunso creation Vat to begin the process of growing the neural tissue that will become Matsumoto's second in command. The robotic forces stand ready to follow his orders immediately.

The Gunso will take 3D4*30 hours to grow in the Creation Vat (Matsumoto makes the roll)


Formation is as follow, their visuals are however Matsumoto envisions them:
  • (2) AA-03 Avian Spy, pg 74 Shemarrian Nation
  • (2) A-51-Male Shemarrian/A-SHE-11, pg 48 Shemarrian Nation
  • (2) A-SHE-19 Spinster Android
  • (14) A-SHE-5 Shemarrian Berserker Android, pg 39 Shemarrian Nation

Equipment is as Follows
  • (18) Mechaniod Ripper Nodachi: 4D6 + Robotic Punch Damage
  • (18) Mechaniod Ripper Katana: 2D6 + Robotic Punch Damage
  • (18) Mechaniod Ripper Wakizashi: 1D6 + Robotic Punch Damage
  • (18) Shemarrian Assault Rifle, pg 57 Shemarrian Nation
  • (54) Assault Rifle Short Clips
  • (18) She-IP30 Ion Pistol, pg 59 Shemarrian Nation

After the Gunso Creation Vat is complete, mechanically it will have the stats of the Shemarrian Warrior, pg 36 Shemarrian Nation with the following adjustments ME: 16, MA: 10. It is a Mechaniod Cyborg without access to the Mechaniod psychic powers nor the mechaniod power supply, it hasn't earned the right to utilize those abilities. Since the Gunso's abilities are sealed it can live utilizing a nuclear power supply.

Scanning the planet

To complete the mission his Shogun requested Matsumoto needs to gain real time data on the planet he is on.
This will require the following skill rolls:
  • Perception
  • Intelligence
  • Sensory Equipment
  • Electronic Counter Measures

Roll each skill 1x per day, it takes 20 hours of continuous work to perform all of the skills listed. Only the listed skills will be used to correlate data towards this strike mission. After the first 10 scans Matsumoto will be able to ascertain how long the total planetary scan will take. Completing the planetary scan will give Matsumoto a list of targets that full-fill his criteria.

Scanning the planet

In the distance, Matsumoto receives a visual confirmation of the guntai. They are arranged in a modified Saku formation, protecting the drop pod containing the vat. The only sound is their flags and banners whipping in the warm, dry air.

As he approaches, all members lower their weapons and bow in acknowledgement. Matsumoto bows in return.

The Spinsters stay adjacent to the vat and the Hunters, hawks on shoulders, a little further away. The Berserkers reform into two columns leading to the entrance of the drop pod.

As he walks through the columns, the Spinsters bow slightly and disengage from the vat. Matsumoto raises his hand to the console and extends his bionic jack spike. It is inserted into the port and a small portion of his nanites carrying the needed cellular material.

The process takes several minutes to complete.

After he disengages and the growth process begins, the Hunters and Spinsters begin the ceremony in which he becomes a Sashimono-- a banner-- of the AbM empire.

After a long process of meditation and purification, his armor begins being replaced and upgraded one at a time. His do, kabuto, and mempo are modified to reflect his new role. The color scheme now matches that of his faction, primarily reds and golds.

At the end of the day, when the process is complete, the five emerge from the drop pod. The Tetsuo no Tsume-- Iron Claw-- has been formed.

The first stage of his duty is to survey Davros. He issues his orders and begins.

The Gunso will take 210 hours to produce.


10:54, Today: Matsumoto rolled 7 using 3d4.

13:10, Today: Matsumoto rolled 13 using 1d100.  Sensor Equipment 75%.
13:10, Today: Matsumoto rolled 25 using 1d100.  Intelligence 78%.
13:09, Today: Matsumoto rolled 14 using 1d20+9.  Perception (+2 +7 Read Sensor ) +9.

Using Hunter's Black Box, with permission:
13:12, Today: Matsumoto rolled 28 using 1d100.  ECM/ Black Box from Hunter 65%.

"How long are you intending to stay Matsumoto?  We came here for your missing team and have found them but don't have the funds to tie up our ride for more than the next 30 days." Roland asks as Matsumoto begins his scanning. "Sarge?   Thoughts?"  he asks.
