Readers' Poll: Choose Your Own Rescue Mission
I have been bouncing two ideas around for some time now as
one of the potential adventures my players will undertake once they make it to
Earth-218. In the plot I have roughed
out in my head, their first appearance will draw a great deal of media
attention and in turn, the government will step in to do what it can to help
them return home (in exchange for certain services that will be negotiated when
the time comes).
A portal will be built that should allow the adventurers to
return to their own world. This machine
would be located deep within Cheyenne Mountain for security reasons so the
party will come into contact with many personnel from the military.
In version #1 of this story, General George Hammond, USAF
and commander of Stargate Command is Dr. John Hammond’s cousin’s son. When the events on Isla Nublar take a turn
for the worse, John places a phone call to his family member to help bail him out
of a jam. The general cannot send the
troops that are under his command so he asks the party for their help. Those who agree are flown out to a remote
island about 120 miles of the west coast of Costa Rica. They deploy onto the island with the mission
of rescuing civilians and attempting to “contain” the dinosaurs for recapture
by park personnel. The party then fights
their way across the island, battling dinosaurs along the way including
velociraptors and the fearsome Tyrannosaurus.
The only thing keeping me from hashing this out the rest of
the way is version #2… the CDC finds a dormant xenomorph
egg and transports it to the Plum Island testing and research facility. Xenomorphs beings xenomorphs, the egg
hatches, a face-hugger emerges, and soon the facility is overrun by a bunch of
drones and a massive queen. Once again,
the party’s mission is to rescue as many people as possible while eliminating
the alien threat.
