It's been on my mind lately, and I haven't done any gaming yet this month. If I want to continue meeting my goal of a minimum of 2 games per month, I need to get rolling, so I unpaused the "Last Liners" campaign for Majestic 13, and set up for the next mission. As noted in the last game, this time around it's a Special Mission. These occur any time your team level is a multiple of 3, and represent the alien overlords of FORCE catching wind of your team's successes and deciding to remind you of how weak humanity is in the face of their technological superiority.
Called in on a mission, the Last Liners deployed in a sticky, humid forest glade. Expecting a monster, they instead found themselves facing a squad of six alien humanoids fully encased in shimmering, iridescent armor and carrying powerful energy weapons.
I didn't take a lot of pictures during this game, to be honest, and having played it before (two years ago almost to the day!), it's not a terribly exciting game. It's a lot of moving back and forth between cover points and taking pot shots at the FORCE troopers.
The big points this time around:
I managed to successfully Call for Aid on the first turn, choosing to request a drone strike against the FORCE troopers. I needed to roll a 6 or better on a D20 for the drone strike to successfully hit its target. I rolled a 4.
I did get lucky, and while every member of the Last Liners was injured during the course of the mission, only one was put Out of Action; Maria failed her save against a grenade, getting blinded and taking damage, and then was immediately hit with another grenade, failing her save again and taking enough damage to take her off the table.
The Last Liners managed to successfully take down three out of the six FORCE troopers within the time limits of the mission; so not exactly a successful mission (it technically counts as a failure per the Majestic 13 rules), but not as bad as it could have been!
Rolling into the post-game process...
Maria died of her injuries, but Majestic 13 doesn't let good soldiers rest for long. A clone, Maria II, was decanted, and seems entirely normal, unlike the enhanced clone, Hank II, that was produced after the last game.
The team is now rated at Level 4.
The team successfully requisitioned a laser sight for Becky's pistol, but failed to get a second pistol for her. They also failed to get a Spy Satellite Link for their base.
I have just a few days left to get my second game for February in, so I'll be rolling up another mission for the Last Liners soon.
