 Kibibi Island; it's a beautiful place this time of year. In another world it'd be a major tourist attraction. Sitting in the Indian Ocean it's the perfect little tropical getaway...for the ENEMIES OF FREEDOM. The brief is short, sweet and weapons free, just the way you like it. Intel believes there's a major Russian missile base hidden on this rock and it's your job to take them down. You're being dropped off at dawn, and once you're on the island you're on your own until there's confirmation you've taken Ivan's rockets apart. You'll need to find it first, but intel is pretty sure there's an entrance somewhere along the south of the island.  You're minutes away from landing, the helicopters creeping along the ocean surface to avoid radar. The crew chief pipes up over the radio: "We're armed to the teeth, but orders are you dictate the rules of engagement. So how do you want us to do this; hit 'em hard, or quick and quiet?"

LION JOHNSTON. Extreme - When I'm President Role: Badass Spec-Ops Profile: They don't keep guys like this tied to a unit. They keep them on stand-by, to send in when things go completely wrong. The US military archives are filled with pages of blacked-out text about guys like me, so when we show up to cause some trouble you better stop running your mouth. That is, if you see us before we've got your gun in our hands and your arm in a lock. America pays these men to keep America free, and that's exactly what they do with their time. Stamping Grounds: US Military Bases. Quote: "Got a smoke?" Gear: Karambit, the eye patch, fatigues, military hardware, and a pack of smokes. Styles: Daring 1, Craft 1, Mighty 1 Skills: falling from great heights, stealth, CQC, traps, Delta Force weapons training, smoking and looking cool, fast talking ------------------------------------------------------- Lion Johnson smokes one of his Marlboro Reds while looking over the map of the island. He marks a few points on the map, possible drop-off points, and says, "Let's do this right. Drop in quick and quiet, find a guy, persuade him to tell us the entrance, then hit it loud."

Former Vice-President Diamond Filibuster Theme: Escape From New York Theme Role: Convicted Politician Profile: Former Vice President Filibuster is a good man, an idealistic and naive man. That naivety got him in trouble when he trusted the wrong Libyans and performed the ultimate unintentional treason. Sent to Crucible-F, America's biggest super prison, Diamond had to get tough, so tough his former Republican opponents would no longer be able to call him "soft". You might say he went into the Crucible and came out hard as a Diamond. Now Diamond has a chance to atone for his accidental crimes and prove himself to still be a patriotic man by joining up with Strike Force Liberty. And if he fails to prove his patriotism, well lets just say that prison collar around his neck isn't just for show. Stamping Grounds: Crucible-F Super Prison Quote: "I have to be careful when I put my American Flag pin on my suit in the morning, I have coated the point with a deadly neurotoxin." Gear: Bomb collar, Dress Clothes and Shades, Prison Shank, Handgun Styles: Daring 1, Charm 1, Ingenuity 1 Skills: Prison Brawling, Backroom Dealing, Shank Making, Filibustering, Out of the Box Thinking, Knowledge of American History & Politics, Handguns ------------------------------------------------------- Filibuster struggles to scratch an itch underneath the bomb collar around his neck. He manages to force a pinky finger underneath the collar and begins scratching with his fingernail and answers, "Look, I am new to this whole ball game, but the way we did it in prison was you sneaked up on the man and then shank him loud and hard to make a statement. So I'm fine with Mr. Johnston just suggested." Snooze Cruise fucked around with this message at 22:28 on Jul 22, 2014 |

The tower acknowledges AIRWOOF's IFF. "Comrade Hind, you are cleared for approach, transmitting guidance signal to Hangar 4 now." They beam you a Soviet command beam, but your superior American flight computer backtraces the signal to a cliff opening on the southeasternmost edge of the island. There's no SAM or AAA codes in the signal, so the hangar is unprotected it seems like. AIRWOOF gets a plot point for rolling a 6 while using Ingenuity. Everyone got one to start, so you all have one except AIRWOOF, who has two.

Horatio "Black Eagle" Tibbs Theme: The Warriors Theme Role: Grizzled Aviator Profile: Internationally wanted for gun running, airborne distribution of propaganda, and outstanding collateral damage charges, Black Eagle has avoided any official connection with the United States Military.

The helicopters scream towards the island, weapons checks being made as you fly towards a guard post not too far from the cliff hangar. Rockets and chaingun fire ring for liberty as the jump chief signals green. "Go, go, go, we'll cover you!" The commies have no idea what hit them at first, but start to gather themselves to counter-attack as bullets fly both ways. There isn't much left of the camp after the initial shock assault, just a guard tower, a couple of machine gun posts, and a radio station. AIRWOOF By the time they figure out you're not a Hind you're already in the armoured hangar doors. The hangar is huge; it was obviously made to take cargo jets. Technicians scatter as pilots rush to get their own helicopters off the ground and soldiers ineffectually spray bullets at you. It's you against dozens.

AIRWOOF AIRWOOF pops a hover in the hanger and sideslips around the hanger. A human pilot couldn't possibly pull some poo poo off like this without eating the ceiling but for the ghost in the machine it was no problem. AIRWOOF opens fire with 30mm cannons raking all the helicopters and crew. "FASTER, STRONGER, BETTER." AIRWOOF spouts out to taunt the soviets as he machineguns them down, ADF pod underneath firing missles at various cargo planes to cause even more havoc. "MY VICTORY YOUR DEATH!" AIRWOOF spins around, flying backwards in the hanger to aim at the armored hanger doors. Firing a 3 missle volley from the ADF launcher and cannon rounds, he blows open the hanger doors to allow STRIKE FORCE LIBERTY's STALLIONS to FLY ON IN. INFORMATIVE: LZ at HANGER 4 SECURED, POPPING PURPLE SMOKE TO MARK LZ." AIRWOOF's synthetic voice goes over the radio as it turns around to mop up soviet crewmen, shooting purple smoke canisters out of its rear end to mark the flaming hanger in purple haze. "LZ MARKED. BRING IT IN" AIRWOOF says as it flies out of the hanger and begins raining death on the base below.

While AIRWOOF has quite handily dispatched a significant chunk of the Russian reinforcements, all that blood has made the rope ladder slick... Hazard 1; if you board AIRWOOF immediately you're fine, if you go kill commies or do something that doesn't involve peacing out to the hangar you're fine, but if you Do a Thing that involves dice and try to board AIRWOOF as a part of it, then you'll need to take the Hazard into account.

Black Eagle Covering fire 3d6 3,2,3 "Death from Above Motherfuckas!" Black Eagle squints to increase his rate of fire and unleashes a hail of covering fire as he floats into the middle of the camp. As soon as he's close enough to the ground (~30ft) he's going to shrug out of the parachute harness to tuck and roll to get behind the nearest bulletproof object. "Bad time to drop in?"

Black Eagle Covering Fire intended to cover everything with fire 3d6 2,6,1 "Nothin' to get hung up about." Eagle drops out of the parachute harness sooner than originally planned and stands with his back to the tree. It looks like he landed a little too far from AIRWOOF to reach the rope ladder right away. Black Eagle gives a 'you-go-on-ahead' wave to the cyber copter and calmly lights a cigar as the tree behind him is gradually reduced to splinters by thousands of communist bullets. "These guys just need to ...lighten up a bit." He removes the (still nearly full) magazine from his M-16 and replaces it with a new one, marked with a flames decal and containing nothing but tracer rounds. Now it's time for some more covering fire. This time he directs the unfocused spray of bullets toward those bright red steel drums at the base of the guard tower which are most likely filled with large amounts of very high pressure propane.

Former Vice-President Diamond Filibuster "Wah, this parachuting business is too slow." As Diamond descends slowly down he spots an enemy solider underneath his feet and smiles as he gets an idea. "Hey kid!" he shouts as he takes out his trusty prison shank and begins cutting off his parachute, "This is going to hurt you more than its going to hurt me!" Goomba Stomp: 3d6 2,5,6 The young Russian solider looks up, the last thing he will see are the dress shoes of a former Vice-President crashing into his head. He is able to make out what appears to be a screaming bald eagle on the bottom of the shows, embroidered on. These Americans are so tacky, he thinks before his head is brutally crushed. "I wish I could have done this on Capital Hill," Diamond smirks, stepping out of the brain matter, "But the politicians there were a little too headstrong."

Lion unloads a clip or on the way down, and when he hits the floor he gets to work with his Karambit in CQC. "Knife to see you, ruskies!"
