Congratulations! You have been hired by Legend Industries as security guards for the state of the art mining colony X9-B12! This mining colony, far from the main planets controlled by humanity, focuses on the collection of starium, a lightweight, strong, highly conductive metal used in most modern electronics.
1d8 for most rolls:
*1: Critical failure.
*2: Failure
*3/4: Minor failure
*5/6: Minor success
*7: Major success
*8: Extraordinary success
Combat rolls will consist of a roll to hit (competitive d8 rolls between attacker and defender), which will determine damage as well.

Turn 0
The six of you all board the shuttle to X9-B12. It's a rusty old shuttle, obviously badly maintained. Eventually, you arrive, and the pilot guides you to the security room, passing by the occasional worker and/or piece of machinery. The pilot then runs back, most likely to the shuttle.
The security room contains lockers (each labelled with one of your names), a rather fancy-looking computer (currently showing the feed from one of the security cameras), and a filing cabinet. It's rather small. You appear to be the only guards in the entire colony. You take your equipment from your lockers.
Suddenly, you hear an explosion from approximately the location of the docking bay!

Look at the feed coming from the docking bay.
You go to the computer, and attempt to switch to the docking bay camera. [6] You manage to get to a list of cameras. The docking bay camera appears to be off or destroyed.
Go to a nearby security terminal and enter in the command to lock all doors leading into and out of the docking bay.
The computer beeps loudly. PASSWORD REQUIRED. You suddenly realize that you weren't given any information on passwords. Or, in fact, on what standard security procedure is. Or anything, for that matter.
Jog down to affected area.
Advance slowly, at the back of the group, with a steady aim
Equip truncheon and then rush towards the problem
The three of you enter the docking bay, passing by the occasional panicking worker. It appears that the shuttle exploded, taking out the camera and badly damaging surrounding craft. A few fighters look like they won't be operational for a long time.
[1][1][7] While Ric and Trol are staring at the ceiling for no apparent reason, Rick notices a severe lack of anything resembling dead bodies in the area, including the shuttle.
check the camera in the path that leads away from the hangar.
The camera shows Ric, Trol, and Rick advancing toward the docking bay until they enter it. It also shows the occasional panicking worker. [4] You don't notice any more useful things.

Ask for a report over the intercom.
You quickly locate an intercom, and ask for a report. You discover that a shuttle exploded in the docking bay, and that a few security officers are on location.
check for any clues about wth just blew the thing up ,explosives,engines etc
[6] The engine appears to have exploded, taking the fuel tank with it. This shouldn't happen in a well-maintained shuttle, but this wasn't a well-maintained shuttle.
Grab someone by the lapels and demand information!
Assist Ric with interrogations
Assist with the assisting.
[8][8][8] With much awesomeness, you awesomely locate a worker who tells you that the pilot of the shuttle was not in the area at the time of the explosion. He also tells you that the shuttle contained remotely detonated explosives, and that this is a standard behaviour of the Blades, an elite group of mercenaries. He tells you that you should have information on them in the Security room.
You thank him.
Use your elite hacking skills to hack into the computer to gain access.
[8+1] ...You appear to have taken complete control of the colony's computer systems. Bit late to close the doors now, but oh well.

Get the infromation on the blades.

Get the infromation on the blades.
...YOU SUCCEED. The entirety of the information on the Blades appears to be one very small folder in the file cabinet, containing a single piece of paper. "Very secretive mercenary group. Highly dangerous."
Right. So, basically, nothing.
Search through the computer to find the location of an armory, if found try to gain access.
There doesn't appear to be an armory on this colony.
Clear everyone away from the shuttle and inform them there is nothing to see here.
[4] Your attempts to clear people away from the shuttle attract the occasional bored worker. This isn't exactly going well.

After finally ending up in combat, I've decided to change the combat system so that damage is determined by the difference between the attack and dodge rolls, along with the weapon used.
Convert people to ISLAM!
[1-1=0] You charge into the colony bar, and yell out "ISLAM IS THE ONLY WAY TO LIVE YOUR LIFE! ALL OTHER RELIGIONS ARE FALSE AND YOU WILL GO TO JAHANNAM! HELL!" Unfortunately, you seem to have interrupted the weekly meeting of the most extreme local denomination of Crystal Dragon Jesusians (not to be confused with Crystal Dragon Christians, or any other sort of Christians). The three men stand up, obviously drunk. One grabs an empty bottle, one grabs a stool, and the third just charges at you. [5-1=4] vs [4]: Due to your dodging and his drunkenness, he just barely misses.
go guard the life support.
[8] You locate the life support easily, even without knowledge of the layout of the colony. It already has several nice defensive systems up. You wait for an attack.
Hack into a super secret government file on the mercenary group.
[5+1-2=4] Being a top-secret government file, you find it very hard to access the top-secret government file on the Blades. In fact, you get traced, and are forcibly disconnected before you can start viewing the file. Which, of course, can't be a good sign.
SHAKE SOMEONE BY THE LAPELS FOR INFO! "F*CK FILING CABINETS!"
[3] You charge around the colony, yelling angrily about filing cabinets, and grab some random worker. A worker who doesn't appear to know anything about filing cabinets or the Blades, to be exact.
Shoot file cabinet in rage
You angrily shoot wildly at the filing cabinet, utterly destroying it and everything inside it. Nobody really needs information, anyway...
Give people one last chance to clear the area before forcefully ejecting them.
[5] You intimidate everyone with your laser pistol, and they leave the area. To be exact, most of them run away screaming, but hey, it worked.

BEAT DOWN THESE INFIDELS IN THE NAME OF ALLAH!
[5] vs [1-1=0]...oh dear...You go for a nice throat punch. In a moment of drunken brilliance, the first Crystal Dragon Jesusian decides to deflect your throat punch with his throat. Much throat damage ensues, and the man falls over, dead.
[3-1=2] vs [6]: You quickly dodge a thrown bottle. It probably wouldn't have hit you anyway, though.
[1-1=0] vs [8]: The man with the bar stool tries to smash the wall behind you with it. You stare blankly at him before disarming him and knocking him unconscious.
Look for any notable areas in the colony.
You find the Colony Overseer's office eventually. Mostly, you just find washrooms, mining equipment storage rooms, and housing, though. It would be nice to have a map.
Shake people till I have the answers I want!
[3] You randomly grab and shake people. Occasionally, you ask questions. Mostly, you discover nothing.
Help Taric by headshotting these simple-minded jesusians
[1+1=2] vs [6-1=5]: You charge into the bar and start shooting wildly. You actually hit someone! Unfortunately, said person appears to be the bartender, and you hit him in the head. He appears to be dead.
Assist our Fundamentalist friend by beating down one of the Crystal Dragon guys
[1] vs [7-1=6]: You also charge into the bar, and try to batter the last standing Jesusian with your truncheon. The Jesusian parries your rather pathetic attack and painfully shoves you on to the nearest table.
check on my radio what my colleauges are doing and sigh when the create brawls instead of preventing them
You sigh. A lot. Especially when the report comes in about the whole dead bartender thing.

KEEP FIGHTING FOR ALLAH!
[3] vs [4-1=3]: You slowly swing your arm at the last Jesusian, and he barely staggers out of the way.
Run in there and shake! WHILST PUNCHING!
[5+1=6] vs [4-1=3]: You grab, shake, and punch the last Jesusian, knocking out a few teeth.
Go DF style and beat the last standing jesusian with the bartender.
[8] vs [5-1=4] You grab the dead bartender and slam the last standing Jesusian with him, knocking the Jesusian out of Riccto's grip and onto the floor. He seems to be having trouble breathing.
Go to the colony overseer's office, then grab the overseer by his shoulders and yell at him "WHERE IS MY FAMILY!".
Your attempt to meet with the overseer is hindered by the fact that his door is locked.
Throw table at any remaining jesusians
[2] vs [8], [7]: You throw a table at the last remaining Jesusian, who is...surrounded by your allies. Luckily, your allies dodge, leaving only the Jesusian in the way of the table. You didn't really throw the table very strongly, though, so the edge barely lands on his feet.
get there and beat some sense into this extreamly corrupt and extremist security force.
You take your truncheon out, and enter the bar. You walk up to Taricus, and try to beat some sense into him. Surprise attack: +1. [6+2=8] vs [2]: You strongly bash his head, and he yells out in pain. He seems to be having trouble standing now.

Let's try this again...
Turn 7
BEAT THAT INFIDEL!
[1-1=0] vs [8-1=7]: Tariq, dazed, stumbles towards Aaron, trips over the bar (somehow), and falls over.
KICK DOWN THE DAMN DOOR.
[8] They don't make heavy metal doors like they used to. You enter the office, and try to harass the overseer. No response. You stare angrily at him. No response. You look at his chest, and there appears to be a knife stuck through his heart. Also, a lot of blood.
Place the final jesusian under arrest
You realize that you don't have any way to restrain people, or know anywhere to put them. Or any idea what proper security procedure is. There's probably a manual somewhere in the filing cabinet.
Leave, And go on other investigation on the Blades
[6] You run around wildly, looking for any information on the Blades. You don't find any. However, you do find a bomb in one of the storage rooms. The bomb appears to be inactive, but you should probably get an engineer or something to check it out.
"I didn't think it would come to this, but..." Shoot Ahra in the head. multiple times if possible.
yell out: IF YOU DONT WANT TO BE ARRESTED STOP THIS BRAWL NOW! also hit trollans pistol out of his hand before he shoots me.
Aaron: Attack [4], Defence [6-1=5]
Trol: Attack [8+1=9], Defence [6]
Trol raises his laser pistol to Aaron's head. Aaron realizes that this is a bad thing, and tries to disarm Trol, but Trol knocks Aaron's hand away with the bartender's corpse. Trol then shoots. A lot. Aaron falls over, very much dead.
...And I thought the first death would be due to an NPC.
CDJ2 stands up, dazed.

Pray to Allah to be healed.
You have a vision. A vision of one verse from the Qur'an:
"If anyone slays a person - unless it be for murder or for spreading mischief in the land - it would be as if he slew all people. And if anyone saves a life, it would be as if he saved the life of all people.
5:32"
You're pretty sure you're just hallucinating.
Sprint to the overseers office and investgate
[7] You sprint over to the overseer's office and invest in a new gate for it. You also search the office for clues. You realize that the knife that is in the overseer is a blade. Not one of the Blades, but a blade.
Call On the Radio for someone to check out this ultra rad bomb I had found
"DUDES CHECK OUT THIS ULTRA RAD BOMB I FOUND!" You successfully ensure that no sane person comes to this storage room.
grab ahra's truncheon and laser pistol, then teabag him.
...what. You do so.
Report on the radio there is a dead overseer. Then check his pockets.
You report the overseer's status on the radio, and then search his pockets. You find a remote with one button, labeled "Arm".
The last standing Jesusian runs for his life.

Hit the arm button and laugh like a madman.
You press the button. It doesn't seem to do anything.
Head to the medbay.
You head to the medbay. It is currently empty, with the exception of a single doctor.
Seal the doors the bomb was in...And GET THE HELL OUT!
For some reason you close the doors, and then leave the room. Wait, no. You close the doors, open the doors, leave the room, and close them again. BOOM! It seems that someone really wanted to damage expensive equipment.
Dual-Wield laser pistols and report to a higher power for a mission
[3] You try to dual-wield laser pistols, but you find no way to get a good grip on both the pistols and the bartender. You give up on that, and report to the colony overseer for a mission. He seems oddly unwilling to give you a mission.
pocket the blade and stay close to Bdthemag hopefully avoiding the button's effects.
You take the blade.

Get medical treatment.
[1-1=0] You call the doctor over to look at your wounds. He attempts to treat your wounds, but horribly, horribly fails. You barely live through the misplaced scalpel.
Drop the bartender and try again to dual-wield. Ask again for a mission.
You...drop the bartender and dual-wield laser pistols! You then ask the dead overseer for a mission again. He doesn't respond.
Figure out what was damaged in the explosion
You open the door again. The mining equipment in the storage room has mostly been destroyed, and is pretty much unrecognizable. The walls look solid.
Leave and patrol looking for someone who needs security.
Patrol with Flintus, if I encounter an enemy confuse him with math equations.
[7] You go off on a patrol. You see nothi...wait, is that the shuttle pilot? Who seems to be running away? Yeah, probably.

[8-1=7] You persuade the doctor to actually help you. He patches up the hole his scalpel made and gives you a dose of experimental regenerative serum. It works okayish, so you persuade him to give you a dose to keep.
Throw Flintus at the Shuttle Pilot in an attempt to knock him over. If thats not allowed run after him.
Whether I am thrown or not make sure to tackle the pilot
[5-1=4][7] Had Rick not been willing to help himself get thrown, Brian wouldn't have been able to throw him. The shuttle pilot stumbles, recognizing that there's a security guard on him, and drops.
do something to advance the plot
[3] You enter the mess hall, and suddenly, you charge through the kitchen door with your laser pistol out! (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ptitlepblp18h5) The cooks stare at you for a moment, and then get back to work.
Attempt to summon the plot
[8] You summon MY PLOT NOTES!
"The players arrive via a rusty shuttle. Shuttle explodes, but pilot can't be found.
Threats to colony:
*Colony overseer is trying to commit insurance fraud, via bombing a set of mining equipment.
*Shuttle pilot, member of a group of mercenaries, is trying to assassinate the overseer.
These shouldn't be a problem on their own. In the way of security will be their poor equipment and lack of information on the colony.
This should be a simple introduction to the colony. None of the characters should be likely to die, and the starting mission should be short."
*Shuttle Pilot: Barely Injured

Hold the laser gun up to the shuttle driver's head, tell him in a calm voice "Be cool bitch."
You hold your laser up to the pilot's head and tell him to be cool bitch. He stays calm.
Find the overseer and subject him to "questioning"
You attempt to question the Overseer's corpse. He refuses to speak.
Ask some miners about the overseer
The miners have little to say about the overseer.
Rough the pilot up a bit and ask him why he was running away.
You rough the pilot up a bit, and ask him why he was running away. He says that he was told by his superiors that you would be hunting him. Eventually.
Go and help my bretheren AKA the other players.
[8-1=7] You charge down to the pilot, actually finding the brig on the way, and finally arrest him. You throw him into the brig.
Without the ability to report to the Overseer, you are all forced to send your reports to an executive at Legend Industries HQ. Eventually, a response to the reports comes back:
"Your reports have come in. I am disappointed. I am very, very disappointed. Unfortunately, due to a lack of qualified security guards and the importance of X9-B12, I am required to keep you on duty.
Let's quickly look at your great accomplishments for a second:
*Evil Plans Stopped: 0
*Civilians Killed by Enemies: 1
*Civilians Killed by Security: 2
*Security Guards Killed by Security: 1
*File Cabinets Destroyed by Security: 1
*Storage Rooms Bombed by Security: 1
*Doors Destroyed by Security: 1
Yes, you actually screwed the colony up more than the actual enemies did. Don't do this again.
Sincerely,
Jack D. Smith, Chief of Security, Legend Industries"
You have a choice. You can either order protective helmets for everyone, or you can order actual restraints for anyone you capture. This turn will end once equipment is selected.
