You thought this thread was practically dead, that it was just circling down the drain and we couldn't do a thing to save it...
But we here at OCP can fix it. We can make it
better. New and improved, more horsepower, more weapons, internal cooling systems and ribbed for her pleasure with an external clit vibrator installed for free.
...Anyway, in a current campaign our team of Space pirates and venture capitalists were hired to clear out a space station. We had already gotten friendly with the port crew but since the job demanded that the station will be completely empty of life our captain decided to simply kill everyone...
The station itself was described to be massive, closer in scale to the Omega from Mass effect than ISS. The population on the station was divided. The harbour is controlled by a group that came in fairly recently but the station is thousands of years old, built by unknown alien species before humans got here. And humans also got here centuries ago but after a strange disease killed most of the occupants and turned the rest into madmen the station is in a rather strange state.
Harbour as I said is controlled by one group (few thousand strong), they have locked the doors outside the harbour and occasionally have to fight off the lunatics who try to drive them off the station. The lunatics are divided into several tribes that live far from each other and always react violently when they meet an outsider. The disease they suffer from has little physical effects but it means that they can not communicate with anyone who does not have the same strain of disease... This means that there are hundreds of thousands of people on the station living in a approx 20k person tribes that are seemingly cultured and peaceful but turn into violent maniacs who kill people on sight if they are not suffering from the exact same strain of disease...
Since we only have 20 or so people on our ship and didn't want to waste time getting an army here we move in small infiltration teams and move across the station sabotaging life support systems (The station is needed intact so we'll leave the parts to the new owners so that they can fix it) and this is forcing the tribes to fight each other and pretty soon they have to swarm and attack the harbour.
Naturally there is also a very high chance that we fuck up something and get caught in crossfire and killed. It was easy in the beginning when we were taking them by surprise and sent a surgical strike team to the life support system control room, now that the remaining groups are all fighting each other already and the harbour control is probably expecting something things are going to get really tough.
Also, our marines and my character are getting PTSD from this. It's not everyday that you have to personally shoot hundreds of frothing maniacs who charge at you fearlessly while screaming incomprehensibly. (Personally I would have gone for a more diplomatic solution but I'm not in charge of the team.)
...In lighter news, once this campaign is over I am going to run an Only War military campaign. After trying to figure out how I would do the maps I decided to use Google maps and some aerial pictures from the World wars.
"Here is your target and the map you get form Munitorium." *Hands the players a map of Dresden in 1940s.*
"It is slightly out of date..." *The players enter a city not completely unlike Dresden after the bombings*
I will also use Hiroshima at some point.
Then again I am a horrible person.
