Meet and Greet

This week the ComStar Party and the Ground Crew finally met up at Clark's ranch. This was a short session, but it provided a very roleplay-heavy opportunity for the players, and set a lot of the groundwork for the stories to come.

The ComStar Party stashed their vehicles nearby, and used some branches and other natural materials to disguise them from aerial surveillance. They approached the ranch house each according to their mood: Alexander, suffering from a 4-point headwound, tried to be stealthy and failed miserably. Shin just strod up to the front door, and David hung back at the wood line with his sniper rifle, in case it was a trap.

Coming inside, there were a few tense moments as the ComStar Party explained who they were and why they were here, but the party cleared that easily enough. After Alexander and Shin received medical treatment, the two parties started comparing notes. The ComStar Party explained the opening moves of the Jihad to the information-starved Terrans, and the Ground Crew explained the adventures they had during the HPG blackout and shared the intelligence they had acquired.

The session then devolved into Alexander trying to mobilize the party again for another strike on the elements of the 9th Division advancing toward the 394th's remaining landed elements. It took most of the balance of the session for the other to convince him there was nothing they could do, and that he would be laid up for at least two weeks with his injuries. The party was unable to come up with a course of action beyond by the time the session ended, so the debate will go on over email until our next session.
