Tl;DR: This is a PvP / PvE tactical turn based forum game revolving around alien convicts decommissioning giant alien infested ships. If you’re not into playing, there will be a classic CYOA choice every week, voting starts on Fridays, and results will happen on the appropriate phase the next week. CTRL+F Creating a prisoner to get straight to the character creation rules.

The year is 203AE, or After Earth-fall. The interstellar community has a rotating system of governments ruled by an intergalactic consortium called the Empirical Learning Organization. Society in the ELO is comfortable, with an exceedingly low crime rate, and an abundance of entertainment. People of the ELO, (and regardless of your race, everyone in the ELO is a person,) live their days free to work on what they choose, when they choose. It is a society that exists post scarcity, except for one resource, an exceedingly advanced solution called “Ever-Oil” that can be manipulated by fancy machines to take the shape of whatever a person might need. This oil has allowed them to create a free society, where everyone can live in peace.

Well almost everyone.

There are those who can not handle the peace, those who would rather fight, cause trouble, and rebel against what they see as a cage. Those who no matter of education, love, and kindness can reach. These people are kept away, far away in penal colonies. These penal colonies exist to do one thing, sacrifice people in the constant search of Ever-Oil. Why these people are imprisoned does not matter, what matters to them is that with enough Ever-Oil found, they can escape.

In a vast universe, there are many ships that are sent out with huge stores of Ever-Oil. Of those many ships that are sent out, whether they’re huge colonizing ark’s holding thousands of people to colonize a new planet, or military vessels as large as some small cities, or even freighters with few humans aboard and a huge amount of cargo. Inevitably some do not return home. Not many are willing to risk their lives for Ever-Oil, and even fewer are willing to brave the dangers that must have taken down the ship in the first place.

So a compromise was born, those in the penal colonies had an option, they could either serve out the remainder of their sentence, (for some that means never getting out,) or they could sign up to decommission these huge hulking ships, collecting as much Ever Oil as they could. Those who are capable of decommissioning a vessel would be awarded their freedom. Not every ship is brought back online the same way, the ELO will give you their best guess for how to reactivate an abandoned ship.

The Rules
The Goal of the game is to complete objectives to decommission space ships, and get 3 demerits removed from your sentence, allowing you to be freed from your penal colony

There are three phases in this game

Tuesday: Mount Up
Thursday: Lock and Load
Saturday: What’s that?!
Sunday: Alien Activity

Your Character has 5 attributes

Strength - Used to power through objectives, adds +1 to damage, adds 1 to armored defense (Base defense is 10.)
Dexterity - Used to slip through problems, adds +1 to Dex Attacks, adds 1 to physical defense (Base defense is 10.)
Intelligence - Used to think things through, adds +1 to Science Attacks, adds 1 to mental defense. (Base defense is 10)
Health - The middle score between the 3 stats add 7 to it, then multiply the sum by 3, so if STR was 6, DEX was 5, and INT was 1, you would have 5 Health before math, then you would add 7 to get 12, and multiply it by 3 to get 36. The lowest HP you can get is 24 (10, 1, 1), the highest you can get is (6,5,1) 36
Speed - Always 6, unless an item or an effect changes it.



Mount Up


Everyone can move up to their speed, unless an encounter stops them, people will move in a straight line unless stated otherwise

>Charge your Batteries: Gain a +1d4 on the next roll if no movement was taken.

Lock and Load



You can do one of the following during the lock and load phase

Search- reveals all hexes around you in a 1-3 hex radius circle. Roll 1d3 to see how much is revealed. Will show you all hidden prisoners, enemies, and encounters.
Hide - Gain an extra attack on an enemy or friendly that enters your Hex. If you start moving, you are no longer hidden. You can not hide then move into someone else's space and get the extra attack
Reload - Reload any weapons or gadgets that say Reload, the number in that section is how many times the item can be used before you reload
Swap - Trade weapons with any prisoner in the same hex as you.
Special - Items or encounters with the Special Tag will need to use the Special action.
Attack - Roll 3d6+ whatever stat the weapon says. If it hits, roll damage from the weapon
Cover - Subtract 2d4 from damage roll

Quick- Anything marked quick can be used in conjunction with the main action, without equipping it. Can be done twice per turn as long as no other action is taken. Can only be done once per turn if another action is taken.


All special or automated effects, unless stated otherwise, trigger at the end of the players Lock and Load Phase. If you are poisoned, that’s when the poison kicks in effect, if your hex is going to be depressurized, that’s when you get sucked out into space.

After Lock and Load, but before What's That, enemies Do their actions and movements, Enemies ACT, then they MOVE.

What’s That?



As you move around the ship, and search for hidden bits of loot, options, and enemies, you will be presented with a series of choices with a title, keep these choices in mind. They will be on every post, until you resolve them, you can not put them off, only encounters that have an option to walk away from them, can you choose not to resolve. It is on the What's That phase that you resolve these collected encounters.

You have the following available actions you may take each action once in the What's That Phase:

Salvage: As long as there is not an empty void in your tile, you may tear down that tile for a variable amount of EverOil This will destroy the wall / floor / stairs / non enemy things in your area until there is nothing but void left.

Craft: You can craft any starting item for 5 EverOil

Upgrade: You can upgrade any of your items for 10 EverOil the first time, this cost raises by 10 every subsequent time.

Craft Vehicle For 50 EverOil you can craft a vehicle of your choosing, You must work with me personally and the Vehicle will show up somewhere on the map During one of the following phases depending on how long it takes

Alien Activity

During the Alien Activity phase, alien's moves, and the audience gets a participation vote. The way participation votes work, is that you can vote for any previous participation votes offered, or you can vote for the new option, every week there are at least 2 new options. This phase is in between the What's That and Mount Up, the results of the What's That phase will be posted on the Mount Up phase.

Creating a Prisoner:

Choose a name: Whatever you name yourself will be how I refer to your prisoner in perpetuity.
Assign Attributes: assign 12 points over your three stats (Strength, Dexterity, Intelligence). When assigning attributes, keep in mind that all rolls will be 3D6+Relevant Stat VS a target number.
Pick 4 items: From the list below, pick 4 items, this is your Starting Gear. If you need recommendations, 1 Healing Item, 1 Ranged Weapon, 1 Melee Weapon and 1 type of Armor.
Pick 1 Race: Pick 1 race which gives you a permanent Buff, everyone gets a drawn character portrait, so any details/colors/accessories you want to put in, go right ahead.
Calculate Derived Stats: For health You take the middle score, also known as the median of your 3 stats, add 7 to it, and multiply that number by 3. For Armored Defence, add your STR to 10, for Physical Defense, add your DEX to 10, for Mental Defense add your INT to 10.

Fluff/Backstory
"While a number of Intgor's fellow prisoners might have been imprisoned under questionable terms, Intgor was not."
"No, Intgor was brought in for... Tax fraud. Well, among other things such as arson, grand scale larceny, etc, but tax fraud was the charge that stuck."

Appearance:"Fond of food coloring to get that ruddy-red hue. Has three eyes, but sometimes smooshes them together to look like one eye to mess with people. Used to have a flying chair, but that was confiscated as evidence some time ago."

Items:
Biofoam
Lightning gloves Stingers

Interfacing Gloves

Looks: Pinkish jelly with small bulb and long tendrils. A few glowy bits



Biovux is a sneaky little warper. Like most of his kind, it can't take a hit but he can really dish out the damage and move quickly, thanks to being able to float around and squeeze into even the smallest cracks with his tendrils and gelatinous flesh. Armor and size isn't an issue when you can go straight through the cracks of battle damage, after all! That made it fast and smart enough to overcome its gelatinous lack of strength.

Biovux was imprisoned for an unfortunate love of breaking things apart. It care if the hover-car was moving, the person needed that machine for medical support or the toilet was going to get clogged up; Biovux just wormed his way in there and broke it apart piece by piece for fun. Eventually, the government had enough of it and thought it would at least be a good demo-sapient.

Listen up Convicts!

Next week on 4/14/20 You're going to be decommissioning the Star Ship Zeus.

The Zeus was an intergalactic colony ship that went offline 20 years ago, 5 years into their mission to reach a potential colony world on a fringe world. No distress beacon was used, and the vessel was only located by chance, a member of the ELO Police Department or ELOPD found them on a patrol route



You will take notice the SS Zeus was equipped with multiple plasma cannons, a warp engine, and a hangar bay that could fit 10 fighter ships, and it held enough EverOil to jump start a city. Scans say there are multiple organic life forms on board, but those signatures don't match any known species. The AI is reading as disabled You must get the AI functioning properly, or else we will not extract you, and the defense systems are on auto-pilot. The gravity and atmos system are ONLINE

You will be entering via Drill Drones into the Crew Quarters, Command, or Engineering, convict's choice, this is the only blind spot between the ships weapon systems. Once in the ship, it will be your job to make your way to the AI core, reactivate it. Whoever manages to activate it will receive a bounty of 50 EverOil and 1 demerit removed from their sentence remember 3 demerits removed, and you can be let free!

The ELO will be monitoring the situation, and will regularly send supplies, scans, and information that will be valuable to you.

Pick an Infiltration Point Before Tuesday Next Week or one will be chosen for you!

Good Luck Prisoners!

Top Floor:



Command:

The command center is covered in blood and gore. The ships dull red emergency lights are throbbing inside, there doesn’t seem to be enough parts of people to create a whole anything. Behind the captain’s chair sits a tall alien of some sort, it’s true size is hard to tell, and it’s mouth is dripping with Viscera, it turns to stare as Drop Pods strike the ship. Inside the room there is a stair case, and a computer console. It hisses angrily as the two convicts leave their pod.

You find yourself within arm's reach of a toolbox, there is a password protected lock on the lid, but it looks simple enough to bash open with brute force.

Do you?

A.) Smash it open with brute strength STR 10 (On failure damages loot)
B.) Shimmy the lock open DEX 15
C.) Look for a password hint or clue INT 15

POD 3:

It looks like what was labelled on the maps, were not engineering quarters, but engineering ducts to work on the engines. You find in the room with you a tool box that you could loot. The engineering pod has a service latch that lets you go to the floor below. During the fighting maneuvers, it looks like a hose breached, and now radioactive gas is filling the room.

Second Floor



Crew Quarters:

The drill pods connect, and the passengers leave their ships. The room is cramped, filled wall to wall with bunk beds, it looks like the crew that were thawed out were sleeping at most 6 people in each cramped quarter. A red scrolling banner over the door reads “LOCKDOWN IN EFFECT, STAY WHERE YOU ARE UNTIL LOCKDOWN IS FINISHED, THIS IS NOT A DRILL LOC-” Peering out the windows, you can see functioning grav lifts, that can swiftly take you up or down one floor.

Active Encounter: Locked Door

Trying the button next to the door is no use, the speaker above the door Flashes “Access Denied” and gives you a quick tone in the negative. You have to get out to continue your mission:

Do you?

A.) Quietly slide the door open STR 15 (summons enemies on failure)
B.) Find a jim and jam the safety latch DEX 15 (summons enemies on failure)
C.) Hack the panel INT 15 (summons enemies on failure)
D.) Use the drill ship to open the door (Summons enemies, drill will randomly dig tunnels. Drill may cause an opening into space.)

Cuervo kept his gun leveled as he surveyed the room. There was a crablike monster. Mierda.

The drill ceased its grinding, and the pod's door opened. June heard the two others disembark and exchange words. She hung back, the better for these fine fellows to attract the enemy's attention instead of her. She slowly leaned her head out of the doorframe; just one bad guy in a chair. The Captain, presumably? June grabbed her Nanite Rifle, and slowly brought the sight up to her eye.

Command:



Junpei posted:

You are assigned #1

Location: 55.25

Active Encounter: Security Panel

You stop next to the stairs leading down into the main body of the ship. A blood smeared panel that doesn’t really stand out of all the gore on the ship catches your eye, on further inspection you can see it’s clearly blinking. Wiping the blood away you can see the panel is labeled “Automated Security Booting... “ERROR: UNKNOWN ERROR SOMETHING HAS GONE WRONG ERROR: UNKNOWN ERROR SOMETHING HAS GONE WRONG

A.) Press the reboot button (1d100 Roll 40% OR HIGHER TO SUCCEED. UNKNOWN fail state)
B.) Try to bring up the admin panel, and sort out the error INT 14 (UNKNOWN fail state.)
C.) Leave it alone

You are assigned #2

Location: 53.25

Active Encounter: Command Deck

As you approach the machine the holo display lights up, though the controls are a dirty red and a bit blurry. Quickly leafing through the options reveals a few bits of key information.

The ship is currently on lockdown, the AI is currently on, but malfunctioning, and the defense of the ship is automated but does not seem to be controlled by the AI. There are multiple life forms all over the ship, they're using maintenance tunnels and vents to travel around quickly. There is a fairly large life form that is burrowing through the ship, and has wrapped itself around the AI Core, the largest part of the Life Form is in the cargo bay. The cargo bay has the largest group of life forms on the ship. A tighter scan could reveal exactly where the aliens on a floor are.

A.) Turn on Automated Defense system ship wide <Needs Captain's Key>
B.)Code Red - Opens all locked doors <Need's Captain's Key>
C.)Code Blue - Turn Off AI <Need's Captain's key>
D.)Activate Security on Bridge INT 14 Unknown Fail State
E.)Scan LifeForms on one floor INT 14 Fail: Summons enemies

Active Encounter: Locked Door

Trying the button next to the door is no use, the speaker above the door Flashes “Access Denied” and gives you a quick tone in the negative. You have to get out to continue your mission:

Active Encounter: Maintenance Hatch

You find that there is still oxygen being pumped into the room, a quick search of the area reveals a vent, that’s just large enough to stick your arm / tentacle / tendril of your being through. You can see something glimmering in the vent. If you reached in, you could probably get it.

A.) You’re flexible, reach in and see what you can grab! Dex 14 UNKNOWN Fail State
B.) That… doesn’t seem like a good idea. INT 12 on Failure, roll option A.
