OBJECTIVE SELECTED - REVENGE PATH

Phase I objectives

‘‘Phase I begins on October 14th and ends on October 28th (two (2) weeks)’’

After intercepting a transmission from the now destroyed Brotherhood Listener ship, the Psi Termina I, your team has been hand-picked and sent on a mission. You are already boarded on the Dreadnaught-class heavy cruiser Akan, arriving in an Imperial boarding craft through the auxiliary starboard hangar, only several decks below your target. The Akan’s hyperdrives and major systems have been disabled by ion cannons from escorting ships and a battle still rages outside.

The ship’s power fluctuates with every blow from turbo lasers and ion cannons and you have limited time to complete your mission. The Collective regiment typically onboard is currently deployed, but ship security is fully staffed and some elements of the regiment may still be onboard. Intel expects Soldiers and Partisans onboard.

Your team has been tasked to complete one of the following objectives in limited time (you may complete only one (1) objective):

• Revenge path: Reach the main bridge, face and eliminate Captain Brith Kayle and extract valuable information from the computer core before the fleet destroys the ship.

• Sabotage path: Reach the primary computer core behind the main bridge, extract the information and set the ship to self-destruct before extracting.

• Pacifist path: Reach the primary environmental controls on the main bridge, pacify the whole ship with Stun gas before extracting data from the computer core and calling in the cavalry.

Caution: the Captain is accompanied by an unknown number of enemy combatants.

The Phase must end with the bridge secured and the ship either pacified or destroyed. In all but the Revenge path, the Captain’s fate is up to you.

Wild Space
Dreadnaught-class Heavy Cruiser Akan
Auxiliary Starboard Hangar

Lights flickered overhead with slight tremors in the durasteel floors as the Akan continued to take a beating from the combat outside. Zuser adjusted his lightsaber holster behind his right shoulder as he made his way through the Wraith, passing the rest of the fireteam he had been assigned to.

Brimstone’s burning red eyes poured over a datapad, a constant stream of information flooding across the screen from the Brotherhood ships currently pounding the exterior of the very ship they were in. Pacing slightly around the interior of the Wraith, Blackhawk double-checked the sights on his night sniper blaster, lifting it up to his face every now and again making sure it was calibrated properly.

As Zuser neared the back of the Wraith he found Silent pouring over a hologram showing the map of the Akan, currently plotting out the quickest way to the bridge where their target resided. Taking a moment to pop out both hidden blades from his gauntlets and retracting them to test the mechanisms, he keyed a command into a pad by the closed ramp.
Drawing his new K-16 Bryar blaster from his hip holster, he turned to the other 3 members of the fireteam and flashed a cocky grin as the ramp lowered behind him.

“Alright gents, this is a Zuser-riff in 6. Watch for the tempo and try to keep up.”

With a spin of his blaster like a gunslinger, the maverick leapt out of the opening as the boarding ramp lowered with various hisses of hydraulics… And promptly slipped in the small puddle of oil he landed on, losing his grip on his blaster which clattered on the floor several feet in front of him.

Brimstone swept past the downed pilot, not even looking down at him as he sidestepped the puddle that had pooled from some kind of machine that had been damaged prior to their arrival.

“I think we’ll keep pace with the tempo just fine, Whuloc. Let’s move.” muttered the Chiss.

A snickering Silent and Blackhawk following him as Zuser quickly got back up, glowering as he strode forward and picked up his blaster and jogged to catch up, grabbing an abandoned rag and started cleaning himself off.

As the four Plagueians made their way to their target, the information needed to turn the tide of the battle with the Collective, the ship, Akan, continued to rock from the bombardment it was receiving. Numerous cyborg enemies attempted to stop them from their mission with constant barrage of laser blasts. It seemed that they were pouring out of every crevice like water amongst a river bed of rocks.

Zuser and Blackhawk took a position to the south behind some machinery as they snipped off the droid hybrids while Silent and Brimstone, with both lightsabers engaged each, deflected blasts back towards their enemies. After the firefight, they proceeded to head towards Brith Kayle. After finding an alternative way to the next level of the ship, they continued their drive into a maelstrom of more Collective troops to stop them.

“Silent, this is getting us nowhere except dead” spoke the Chiss. The Shi’ido nodded but didn’t say anything, living up to his namesake.

A body flew over their heads, a result of the Clawdite, Blackhawk, who was surprised by a hidden attacker. His ability in the Force helped him grabbed the would be assassin with an invisible stranglehold and continued chucking it into the durasteel wall. The cyborg died upon impact. “Good catch” retorted Whuloc as he pulled up the schematics of the Dreadnaught-class heavy cruiser.

“Hey guys,” Zuser exclaimed, “I think we have a good chance of hitting our target on two fronts, If we go and split up, two of us can take them head on and the other two can come in from behind.”

Silent broke his silence. “I think a better idea would be, and I know they have in ship holofeeds, is next engagement, I play I was taken out and you three continue on without me.”

Zuser and Blackhawk gave each other a confused glance at each other, but Brimstone understood what Silent meant. It was a tactic that he’s seen personally from the Shi’ido before.

“I agree. We three can take the battle to the main bridge” replied the Chiss.

As they continued their mission, they came into a large storage house of supplies and munitions. Upon entering, the doorway they had entered slammed shut. It was a trap that they weren’t counting on. Seconds later, at least a couple dozen cyborgs from behind machines and storage crates openen fire. Their intent was clear. They weren’t there to capture, but to kill. A blast near Silent missed him barely, but the Shi’ido took that as a cover to act like he was killed, and hurled himself against the wall and slumped down to the floor.

Brimstone was enraged. “ENOUGH!” he yelled out loudly and with purpose. Then he yelled again in Cheuhn

“K’IMSI CH’ACIVAH”

Both the Clawdite and Human Plagueians knew what was coming. Zuser took aim with his blasters and Blackhawk used the Force to start picking up loose items and crates in the room, spinning them as fast as he could. Once a whirlwind of debris started to envelop the enemy, Brimstone raised both his hands and unleashed a arc torrent of bluish lightning into the storm. Zuser opened fire also which helped ignite the hydraulic fluids spraying everywhere. The firestorm engulfed most of the chamber. Just before coming back around towards them, the three Plagueians threw up barriers to avoid the impact of items thrashing about. The enemy wasn’t so lucky as the fire burned their flesh, leaving only their cyborg implants unaffected and collapsing on the floors along with their melted weapons and charred remains. Zuser dropped his barrier and ran over to Silent’s lifeless body. “Brim, what about Silent?” he asked.

“We carry on with our mission and kill our target. We’ll pick him back up afterwards. Let’s go.”

The three then stepped over the smouldering carcasses and continued onwards.

Brith watched from the monitors of the three enemies leaving the storage room. He knew he had no chance against the Force users. He keyed his comm.

“Code Alpha Zeta Niner Niner Bravo. Alert all stations to prepare for an attack at command. Get your rears up here now. Everyone!” he barked out. The camera in the storage room finally shorted out from the inferno it witnessed.

Silent reached out with his senses and could tell that he was the only one living in the chamber. He rolled over onto one knee and then stood up. “See you guys updeck” He thought to himself as he left through a different exit.

Pulling out his Holo projector, a mini sized version of his HK bodyguard Fate appeared.

“Yes, Master how may I be of service.” Fate said

The Shi’ido gave a silent prayer that he was able to get rid of the old way HK models talked.

“Fate are you in position?”

“Yes Master, over the command bridge in the vent, weapon at the ready for our primary target.”

“Good, the rest of the Team are heading that way, if the shot fails wait until I reach there before joining the team.”

“Understood Master.”

“Good when the blow the door take your shot I should be there in minutes.”

“Yes Master.”

Command Bridge

Team C reached the command deck and each went to a different part of the door activating their lightsabers to cut through. As they finished the each took in a breath, called on the Force and pushed the doors inward. The door flew across the command deck hitting the first line of defense, in the eerie quite as the dusk was clearing a single blaster shot was fired and a scream rang out. This was all that was needed for Team C to move forward and the command deck to begin firing through the open door.
Within moments dozens of the guards where down and out with only a small group surrounding the Captain, Team C took cover as a barrage of cover fire and a couple of grenades where tossed into the middle.

“Come on Silent where are you.” Brimstone spoke softly to himself

As if the Force answered his call Silent’s lightsaber cut through a circle of the vent and landed on the command deck after the explosion, standing next to him was his droid Fate and they charged forward into the smoke, several cries later Silent spoke up.

“They are down, Captain is still alive though, what happened Fate?”

“The doors landed closer to the Captain so he moved as I took my shot, it seems I hit him in his left arm seems it did no damage to him but to his cybernetic arm.”

“That would explain the scream we heard before the fight started.” Blackhawk said as he and the rest of the team stood up and closed the gap between them and Silent

“To bad your droid missed though.” Zuser let out a slight smirk

“If still hitting your target is missing to you Zuser then I guess what you do behind a flight stick is still flying.” Fate responded

“And that Zuser is one of the reasons you never insult my droid.” Silent said

Team C went to round up the Captain, he was badly injured from Silent’s attack missing his right leg and having his left arm torn off, Silent commanded Fate to retrieve the files from the computer.

“What should we do with the Captain.” Brimstone asked

“Master the files we are seeking are password protected, perhaps we should get that info instead of killing the Captain.” Fate spoke

“I’ll die before I give up the password.” Brith spoke
“You will die if you do not, Captain.” Silent spoke

“Then death can take me Sith.” Brith responded

Silent sat down calmly closed his eyes, “Take him to the airlock boys, also take the rest of his limbs, he won’t be needing them anymore and watching him in pain will help me relax.”

“Fun as always Silent” Brimstone said

Dragging the Captain along the hall they stopped short of the air lock, Brimstone and Blackhawk took his remaining limbs as the Rodian screamed in pain begging them not to.

“You know you do not have to die Captain, you can always get new parts and be maybe the first Rodian cyborg. All you have to do is give us the password, we take your files and leave you in your still intact medical bay.” Silent said

“Fine fine, you win, even the collective is not this cruel, the password is Bispowinnerhawtstuff69nerthechampofallrodianwomen, all one word.” Brith said

“Quite the password Captain, Fate do you have the files?” Silent said

“Yes Master, now what should we do with the Captain.” Fate said

“Do what I said before, take his limbs and throw him out of the airlock.” Silent said

The Rhodian blinked and realized he was still on the command deck mostly in tacked.

“I thought you already did that, you promised to let me live.” Brith shouted

“No, your mind tricked into giving us what we want and a way out, you know Sith magic, enjoy boys. Fate set the self-destruct on this ship, I will see the rest of you on our way out.” Silent said as he headed back to their ship.

This Phase lasts from October 29th until November the 11th (two (2) weeks)

Request from the organizers: Please add a note to the top of the next post which path your team will choose in this Phase. Thank you.

Phase II objectives

Your team left the dreadnought Akan with information that, together with the data analysed by Clans and the Inquisitorius, has lead your to the Meridian Prime space station, a fortress, correctional facility and space dock floating in interstellar space just off the Wild Space boundary. Already under attack by Clan and Dark Council forces, dogfights light up the blackness around the behemoth, and intel suggests the shields and defenses have not yet been weakened enough for a full-scale naval assault. The station is on full alert and firefights have already started as skirmishes between Collective troops and Brotherhood assault teams pepper its three massive hangar bays.

The station houses civilian and enemy personnel, including a correctional facility that holds hundreds of Brotherhood prisoners of war, both Non-Force users and Force users alike. The prison has an isolated security system, its own power generator and life-support. Intel suggests that the prison is managed by a powerful AI (artificial intelligence) controlling the Dioxis security system, many defense blaster turrets, ray shields and a large complement of Imperial Sentry Droids acting as guards, controlled by the prison warden. The interior of the prison itself is pumped with a thin mist of Dioxis gas, preventing escape and anarchy.

You have been dropped off on the lower decks via boarding pod.

Breath masks are provided for this mission, should your team require them. Any Possessions item that prevents inhaling of poisonous gas will be effective as well.

Your team has been tasked to complete one of the following objectives in limited time (you may complete only one (1) objective):

• Revenge path: Reach the correctional facility and eliminate prison warden Rutgar-4. Caution is advised as there are Imperial Sentry Droids defending him.

• Sabotage path: Reach the prison’s AI core to recycle the life support and free the prisoners. Prepare for a riot as many prisoners are powerful Force Users and Non-Force Users.

• Pacifist path: Reach the prison’s AI core and disable the security systems to allow incoming Brotherhood troops to secure the facility.

The phase must end with the prison facility secured, one way or another. In all but the Revenge path, the prison warden’s fate is up to you.

[Sabotage Path]

Meridian Prime space station
3 days later

After the Plaguieans had returned from the Akan with the data they confiscated and the holo image of the Captain’s death by Silent, the team was told to join together again aboard a boarding pod for the Meridian Prison. Their mission was clear. To infiltrate and sabotage the prison security systems and restore life support so their fellow clan members can be freed that were captured. As the fleets from all clans bombarded the Prison, which in return, was being blasted with cannons back, the boarding pod made it’s way to the lower levels to break in to the prison.

Blackhawk and Zuser readied their weapons for the entry. Silent and Brimstone, along with their droids, Fate and K’ebat, studied the layout of the prison and readied themselves for the firefight they expected with the Imperial Sentries. The prison was ran by droids and all areas were layered in a thing, but not deadly, film of Dioxis gas. In large quantities, it is deadly for sentient beings, but that was why the droids controlled the station and another reason why Brim and Silent brought theirs. Just in case problems occurred.

As the Sith donned breathing apparatuses and goggles for the invasion, the ship was rocked hard by fire, damaging it nearly critical. They all knew they had minutes to de-board, if not seconds, or this mission was a failure before it started.

“Pilot, slam us against the nearest wall and hold it steady. We have to cut our way into the prison” ordered Brimstone

All four team members braced for impact as the droids magnetic couplets on their feet locked them securely to the floorboards. A bone jarring slam jolted the entire pod as it slammed against one of the structures walls. Brimstone and Silent activated their lightsabers and cut an elongated rectangle for a doorway entrance into the side of the building. Sparks sprayed throughout the endeavor. Once the cutting was done, Silent blasted the door with the Force and propelled it into the chamber, smashing into a squad of 6 Sentry Droids that were patrolling the area. Caught unaware, the Shi’ido and Chiss hurled through the opening, slashing and decapitating the droids as Zuser, Blackhawk, and the two droids rushed inside. Sensing an imminent explosion from their craft, the Sith threw up protective barriers as the boarding pod exploded, killing the pilot on-board.

“Okay let’s get going. Head north towards to the elevators and then west towards the security station” barked Silent, “We have to disable the security before alerting the Warden and sending more troops or killing the prisoners.”

All six team members headed out. Brim and Zuser with blasters in hand taking the point, followed by the two droids, then Silent and Blackhawk establishing the rear flank. They proceeded with caution, disabling security cameras along the way.

“Does it not seem to quite in here?” Zuser spoke aloud

The team of six had made it to the elevator and down several floors before having to make the rest of the way down on foot. Silent had urged that no droid use any hacking skills, it was to keep their droids from being taken over by the powerful A.I. that controlled the place.

“Yes, minus the firefight outside, we have not seen any man or machine alive since we breeched the place.” Blackhawk replied

“It is because of a 99 percent chance that we are walking into a trap.” Fate spoke

“What are you a C-3PO droid now Fate? Do not tell me the odds again.” The Shi’ido said

“What about the other one percent?” Brimstone said before his 3PO droid K’ebat could retort

“The A.I. is over spent in its duties with the fight outside and keeping things running smoothly inside to think we are any kind of threat.” Fate said

The Force can at times, be a little nudge, or the feeling of someone stabbing you in the eye, depending on the nature of what was going to happen next. This moment was like having the air taking a break from his old lungs.

“Mask now!” Silent shouted

No hesitation as all four of the organic crew put on their mask and the tall tale sign of a light green gas began to creep its way in through the floor exhaust.

“You were right not to trust the droid in his percentage, for it was wrong, I was at one hundred percent chance at leading you right into a trap.”

“So, I guess you are the super A.I. in charge of this fine establishment.” Silent said

“You would be correct, I am so far happy with the results you have given me for each of my test so far.” A.I. said

“You mean, surviving you blowing up of ship, not using our droids to get all the way down to your level, noticing that we are walking into a trap, and getting our mask on before the gas killed us, test.” Zuser said

“Yes, you have survived far longer then my other contestants.”

“Contestants? Is this a game to you are a test?” Blackhawk said

“Well test is in the middle of the word ‘Contestants’ so yeah? Zuser replied

“It is both. My job is to take care of this facility and its people, but the life of an A.I. can be boring when a second of your time is a span of a trillion lifetimes to me, but because of all the time I have I come up with fun little test or games to do with my toys.” The A.I. said

“You are one crazy A.I.” Zuser said

“Perhaps you four would like to take part in my next round of fun, I will even allow a wedger to make this more interesting for you, organics.”

“What is the bet then?” Silent asked

“If you follow the floor lights it will lead you and your team to an elevator, it will take you down to a floor we use to store extra droids, there we will have our make shift arena fight, my droids, versus your organics. If you win your fight against my team, I will allow you to take your prisoners to freedom and allow your firefight outside to enter my domain and take the Organics they came for.”

“And we should just take an A.I.’s word for it?” Blackhawk said

“Of course, I am a free thinking A.I. after all, I could have killed you in hundreds if not thousands of ways. I owe my allegiance to no one but my facility, as a token of keeping my word I will allow you to reach the arena unharmed.”

As the A.I. finished speaking the gas stopped and was sucked out as new fresh air filled the room, Silent was the first to take off his mask, the others followed suit.

“Then we will accept the bet, us versus you for the freedom of our people and to take who we came for unharmed by you or your army and free passage out unharmed. If we lose then you would already have taken our life’s. These terms we will agree to, do you?” Silent said

“Agreed, no harm to you or yours as long as you win, if not you are mean to do with as I please.”

“Agreed.” Silent said

The floor lights illuminated pointing them to the nearest elevator, the team entered and descended quickly, when the doors opened they were greeted with a large hangar like area, the roar of thousands of K6-CE Guard Droids, Imperial Sentry Droids, and Technocrats Soldiers under the A.I.s control filled the room repeating the name Rutgar as the team passed them all to the center where a Rutgar the warden and his five guard Droids stood by.

“Looks like we were going to have to fight him no matter what.” Blackhawk said

“How I hate Organics, you take and destroy whatever you feel like, just like my home world.” Rutgar said

“I would say I am sorry, but one, I never was apart of your inability to protect yourself, and two, I only say I am sorry to two people, neither which are you.” Silent spoke

“So that’s a Shard huh? I would have believed it was just another HK unit.” Zuser said

“No according to the file on him he is crueler to the prisoners here then most Sith lords to newbies.” Brimstone said

“Well he does hate organics.” Zuser replied

“If you are all done with your intros, I will now explain the rules. My team, Team Rutgar versus your team, Team Organics will fight to the death or to you surrender, though knowing you, surrendering is far worst fate then death. You will use what is on you, the droids outside the massive ring surrounding the arena will not attack you. I have placed to square boxes on the ground you will all stand in them and not attack until the countdown has ended. When the fight begins the team with the most members still alive after thirty minutes will be declared the winner. The count down will now begin……10……9….8……” The A.I. said

Team Organic stood ready, both of Silent’s lightsabers ignited as the countdown reached one, the Force struck once again on his left side warning him of incoming danger. As the A.I. said begin he struck an upward attack cutting his droid Fate on his left side in half down the middle. Brimstone blocked an incoming blaster shot directed at Silent.

“Why did you kill your droid!!!” Brimstone shouted, as Silent went in to cut K’ebat in half as well

The A.I.’s laugh filled the room as the droids surrounding them joined in unison.

“You have surprised me again, how did you know I controlled your droids that quickly.” The A.I. said

“When my Droid started talking percentages at me, I knew you must of remote hacked him, then you kept on with team Organics, I knew you would turn our droids on us for sure, well mine mostly, I killed the 3PO for fun, he knows how much I at percentages and would not shut it.” Silent replied

“My droid was not even hacked!” Brimstone shouted

“Nope, now use that hate on our enemy, and if we win, I might buy you a new droid.” Silent said

The four of them split, Zuser and Blackhawk to the left and Silent and Brimstone to the right side. Three guard droids took on the left side leaving two guards left and Rutgar to fight off.

“Take care of Rutgar Silent, you are the most qualified to handle that thing.” Brimstone said as he threw some lighting at the guard droids.

Silent called on the Force, willing it to manifest into a bright silver blue light pulsing through his hands into the lighting dancing off his lightsaber and out toward the charging HK Shard with his separated Twin virbo-arbir blades. Rutgar blocked the lighting with a quick parry, the Electro plasma filament could hold out against a normal blow of lighting but with the erratic jump from Silent’s blade it danced lighting over his weapon and struck his left hand sending a shock through its system and an almost organic mangled robotic scream escaped Rutgar’s voice. The pain and surprised that such a simple trick had work, threw his mind into anger as he attacked once more to finally meet resistance to the Shi’i do’s blades.

“I am surprised a simple mind could come up and make a trick like that work.” Rutgar said

“Well after a few hundred years of practice anything you set your mind too can work out.” Silent replied through gritted teeth.

“My you don’t look a day over a few decades.” Rutgar said

“Why thank you, a Shi’ido has to keep up their looks, but you my enemy look like something only a Bantha humper could love.” Silent said as he pushed off the HK

Zuser and Blackhawk worked tireless as they finally managed to kill one of the guard droids together, they notice that they are much slower due to their extra armor. Brimstone was keeping the other two droids away from him as he took pot shots, but whenever he got to close to the edge of the arena a droid surrounding it would try to reach out and grab him, he had been lucky so far to miss each grab. As he kept so much distance, he was able to keep watch on the fight between Silent and Rutgar and notice two items of interest, one being a nice adhesive grenade the other being a thermal grenade. Pulling them from the HK units belt he chunked the adhesive toward the two guard droids closing in on the tried Zuser and Blackhawk. It exploded holding down the two droids, as they toppled over to the floor. Zuser and Blackhawk took the chance to quickly take their heads and catch a breath as they heard another explosion go off toward Brimstone. One guard droid took the blunt of the thermal damage, destroying it and the other took minor damage as it continued an assault on Brimstone.

The speed of Rutgar increased as the fight carried on, Silent had noticed him becoming more urgent with each lose of his guard droids, with only one remining he was running out of ideas to handle a fight where he was outnumbered and his items had been taking right off of him. He had only two great ideas and they both needed his enemy slower, for right now the enemy named Silent was his biggest threat and the others had already slowed down from their own battles. For being in a droid body he never tried and after another minute he found is opening as he got a slight cut on his enemy’s right arm. Keeping up the pace he saw the poison take effect quickly, though the wound healed quickly, the poison was making the Shi’ido see more than one.

The room began to swim in circles as more and more copies of Rutgar surrounded him, losing his focus on which was the real one, the HK got more and more cuts across the Dark Jedi, after another two minutes Silent fell to the floor on to his back, staring up seeing tons of Rutgar’s looking down at him from a spinning room, Silent reached out with his hands and grabbed Rutgar’s leg. Rutgar took his blade and held it high over his body.

“Now to finish you and then take care of your friends, you filthy Organic, you deserve a death far worse then this.” Rutgar said

The smiled spread across Silent’s face as he spoke. “I do not die here today.” As Silent called on the Force, lighting surged up through his hand and up through the HK’s body, sending pain to the shard and shorting out wires, it was then that Zuser came up behind Rutgar and ran his blade through the Shard and his HK body. Rutgar fell backwards after Zuser took his blade out.

“Silent are you ok?” Zuser asked

“I will be fine, its not life-threatening poison he hit me with, thanks for the assist kid.” Silent said

“No problem old man.” Zuser grinned as he spoke

Blackhawk and Brimstone had finished off the final droid together as Zuser helped saved Silent’s life and with it the fight had ended.

“Congratulation Organics, I am very surprised at your tactics and abilities, I will have to file that away for the next time I encounter your kind. As promised the prisoners are being released, my droids are standing down and your fleet has been notified that they may board to collect their bounty. You may leave now, but I will warn you next time you come here attacking me, you will never get another chance like this again. Now hurry up and get out, I have a facility to fix.” The A.I. said

“Let’s go, the Brotherhood can get what they need, but what I need is a bit of rest and a drink.” Silent said as the limped out to the elevator and to the nearest pod out.

This Phase lasts from November 12th until November the 19th (one (1) week)

Request from the organizers: Please add a note to the top of the next post which path your team will choose in this Phase. Thank you.

Phase III objectives

The Brotherhood advances. What started as sporadic fighting in the major hangar bays of Meridian has turned into an all-out battle on all decks. Spurred by your team’s success in the prison, your Clan forces have come to support you and issue new orders for your team.

Daggo Mouk, one of the leaders of the Collective and the Guildmaster of the Technocratic Guild, has been confirmed on the station. With him he has a potent Technocratic Artifact that, if whisked away, would threaten the position of the Brotherhood in future engagements.

Daggo’s last known position was in the command center, however we have been having trouble following his movements. Wherever he is on the station, he would not leave the artifact unattended. The return of the artifact to Brotherhood hands is of absolute strategic value.

Your team has been tasked to complete one of the following objectives in limited time (you may complete only one (1) objective):

• Revenge path: Confront and eliminate Daggo Mouk. Have no mercy.

• Sabotage path: Sabotage the Collective’s future plans by stealing the artifact by any means necessary.

• Pacifist path: Capture Daggo Mouk for interrogation and trial.

The phase must end with the artifact retrieved. Daggo’s fate is open-ended and up to you.
