"As I spoke before, leave me. To fulfill my duty to this buntai, I must first execute my duty to my Shinzo. We will find a way to reconnect."

GM Note

Splitting the party more than 30 hours kills the solo character.
Those involved in the 4D war all know this.

The crew is currently on their shuttle, in the shuttle bay of the Spelljamming ship they hired, on the moon of Davros IV, in Neo Raider City.

To paraphrase: "You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy. You must be cautious"

Casualties of the 4D War

[Language unknown: Ckosul, lo olus tiopa Sechwiacni u pr ounproredear n nilehi.]


The crew has to make a save vs Magic. This is a 4D effect that uses the Save vs Magic to resist. The crew is affected by this event.
The crew has to make a save vs Insanity. This is a 4D effect that uses the Save vs Insanity to resist. The crew is affected by this event.

All minion NPC's not on Guam or under direct PC controlled will be killed off at the end of 30 days.

Ma'at contract is under review and has been removed from the group along with her minions (When she is capable of rejoining the crew again her character will show up then).


Solidarity Station crumbles a little more...


Wiping away the crumbling shards of reality Ma'at and her crew are gone but Ja-Hon the Promethan is now standing in the shuttle bay while the team discusses what to do next. The 4D war has risen to the point that going off alone will get that individual agent erased.

Ja-Hon has always been with the group, as far as all the minions will tell their masters, their memories of Ma'at replaced with interactions with Ja-Hon. Ja-Hon has the worker card for a possible agent for Solidarity Station +0 like the rest of the Supernaturally powerful crew (the PCs), he has chatted with 0013, gone through the Solidarity Station Medical Exam, and seen the Maelstrom Maker trying to break through the bay doors of the Crew's bunker on Solidarity Station - this last bit a result of the recent success from the -0 team.

Like many major 4D events reality deals while those that observe may not.

23:58, Today: Roland rolled 30 using 1d20+14.  Save vs Magic +14.

"Ok, we picked up most of Sarge's team, Matsumoto has his team.  So, we just need to finish dropping the general and his crew off, then go pick up the three of my crew still in the wind, Shelly who's still on Faerun, Baer who is at Nominal point in Thundercloud and Carnage on Center. We also still need to pickup Bree for Sarge and is there anyone else out there we still need to grab?" Roland asks the group before Appraising Ja_Hon then nods in welcome.  "We'll let you know as soon as we can Captain." Roland says as the Captain departs.


Roland will always cast at least one Purge other on Wren in the morning or at night.  Whichever one Sarge wants to split with.

Ja-Hon is slow to respond, trying to get his bearings on the situation. He knows that the universe needs him to be here at this time an place. He joined the crew, but has yet to get to know them. The one named "Sarge" addressed him, he contemplates his answer and replies. "Sarge, I will walk this path with you to the best of my ability. The universe is a vast place, to be lost in time and space would test the crew to their fullest, recovering them expediently would spare them from staring too long into that abyss."

"One thing we are going to have to get used, to, the universe will not always recognize us for who we are and what we are, they will think what they think, we will not allow them to decide what we are and who we are, and what we stand for, magic is not 4d, they dont know what we know, we accept, close ranks and carry on,  when we get to the CCW .. Matsumoto , you stay on the ship, you don't get off, and on one comes on the ship. they will see your guys and mis understand. recognition is not understanding, something we had best understand, we have a month to do what we gotta do, so lets get on it., next stop after the drop off Faerum for Shelly."


he looks at Ja-hon, Matsumoto, and Roland to see if they have anything to add..

Roland nods at Sarge's assessment.  "That about sums it up.  We're in a 4th dimensional conflict.  Only those actually in it can see it for what it is and see through the changes, most of the time."

The Fade in

In reply to Roland (msg # 39):

Ja-Hon pauses after listening carefully to Roland's introduction. "It is interesting to meet you here and now."

In reply to ZZZ_MR_GM (msg # 40):



Ja-Hon (1st Stage Promethean) stands 8ft tall, weighing in a almost 400 lbs. When in a casual setting he will dress in simple robes, shirt-optional. His body shows wear like old-granite, polished, worn down by wind. When he speaks to you, he often seems to be looking through you. During downtime, he is often found writing in a large book he carries chained to his belt.


In reply to Matsumoto(msg # 41):

"Thank you for the formal greeting warrior. In my people's tongue my title would imply one who reveals the will of the universe. However, simply Ja-Hon is sufficient for those with a more simple tongue.

In reply to Sarge(msg # 42):

"The universe rarely asks who are you and who am I, to say we know the reason why. Beneath one infinite sky, there will be war, and there will be peace. But everything one day will cease. All the iron turned to rust. All the proud men turned to dust. And so all things, time will mend."

Ja-Hon continues...

"The universe has provided me enlightenment about '4D' as you call it. My people have other words for time and space relative to here, now, and there an there. But '4D' suffices. Conflicts in 4D space are both subtle and dangerous. Life before, now, and the future is at risk if their is a 4D war going on. You can count on me to 'close ranks'.

In reply to Roland (msg # 43):

"Together we shall walk the 4D path, and see what the universe teaches us."

Trip to Voria, Day 01

The Mechaniod Contingent understands that the targets that Matsumoto has designated is not to be attacked until Matsumoto says so or they are attacked.

The Mechaniod Contingent will be on standby mode until reactivated by Matsumoto or they are attacked.


The ship dives into FTL, coming out 24 hours later at a space station relay point for independent travelers. After the Captain of the ship makes way with resupplies and miscellaneous side cargo a fleet of Intruders drop into the system and begin wiping out everything in the area. The ship is able to jump out before shields fail.


When the Captain had to make the emergency jump out one of the space station workers was stuck on the bridge and is currently in the ships medical bay being treated for minor wounds and the shock of everything being destroyed.

Matsumoto offers repair assistance to the Captain. The karakuri (spinsters) are superb technicians and specialize in repair and maintenance.

He also scans the ship to see if there are any outgoing signals that the invaders may be using to track us. He reviews the sensor footage to see of the invaders can be identified as a specific threat.

Trip to Voria, Day 01

Roland will inspect the ship, see invisible, see aura Injured worker, mage senses following the attack, and also telepathy on the injured worker as we're getting him to the med bay just to read his surface thoughts immediately following the attack.  If he's frazzled, it'll tell us if he's really a dock worker or not.  If he's controlled and has his wits about him, it might mean he's hiding something.

He'll also offer healing for anyone who needs it.


16:35, Today: Roland rolled 77 using 1d100.  Intelligence 68 (78-10% trauma induced migraine).

16:34, Today: Roland rolled 54 using 1d100.  ID undercover agent: 69 (79-10% trauma induced migrane).

Telepathy

The rest of the time he spends meditating and training Wren.

Skill Use

Sense Rifts
There is a cyclic rift in the engine room of the ship.
A rift opens up when the ship begins FTL.
A rift opens up when the ship exits FTL.

Intelligence: Intruders
What is known by the Three Galaxies about the Intruders can be found on pg 45 of the phases world source book.

The system was attacked by a fleet of 30 UFO Attack Ship along with hundreds of  Spinnerettes and Warbeast Power armor. Intermixed in the Spinnerette flights were a silver hued vessel that was twice the length of a normal Spinnerettes, this vessel was seen flying through other combat vessels without slowing down or firing weapons.

I.D.Undercover Agents
Nothing found

Undercover Ops
Nothing found

Sensor Equipment
Nothing found

Lore Galactic
The Mechaniods have encountered the Intruders and have not been able to crack their psychic communication network. The Intruders are designated kill targets for nearly any rational government in the Three Galaxies.

Telepathy
The worker is devastated that his whole life has been ruined.


Wren continues to be trained


The Worker that survived, by accident, the attack on the system was looked over with beings having medical training his wound were easy enough to tend to, it just required the time and resources to do so (they are down 20 S.D.C. and 40 H.P.).
