Plans Within Plans [Turn 1]

Post by Dienekes22 » Sun Jun 21, 2026 12:33 pm

Previously: Plans Within Plans

Image

One one of the fringe Skion colony worlds is the city of Vordolsta.

Image
Image

Besides the hoverbus station, it also has a landing pad for cargo.

Image

On the second level is a courtyard with a regional police station.

Image

In all, it's a quiet settlement with little to complain about.

Image

A bus arrives, though it is either very early or quite late. The waiting crowd murmurs that there isn't an arrival expected for a while. There isn't even a gate agent, yet.

Image

The citizens realize this isn't the bus they were expecting.

Image

With no one to work the gate controls, the exterior door is locked and the walkways will not deploy.

Jirac, from the roof, complains into the comms: "This was supposed to be handled. We can't drag the zombies across like this."

Image

Nearby, the Dominion forces finally show themselves, their exosuits whirring softly and echoing in the courtyard. "We're heading for the landing pad," Mirana says via comm.

Image

Irwyn slides down the steps into the adjacent courtyard. "The Ynidon landing is beginning," she says quietly, "get ready to engage."

Image

M-Throne arrives, too, close to the landing pad despite not really caring about it at all.

"For the greater good, my men," their hero says, "we must stop the deployment of the zombies."

Image

Up above, a police officer realizes that something is wrong.

Image

"I think we've got trouble!" she shouts.

Image

Tactical Police stage in the food court.

Image

The squad is ready for anything, or so they believe.

Image

The police radio lights up with requests for assistance, but something is wrong. One message barely makes it's way to the settlement: "We're spinning up a QRF, but they may be a minute, all the telemetry is wrong!"

Image

Last, but certainly not least, USA troops sprint toward cover.

Image

Overwatch

Available Factions:

Ynidon: Hero Jirac (indomitable survivor cliche) + 2 zombie wranglers + 7 infantry + 2 crate loaders + 1 command drone
Command drone ensures Skion (and other faction) communications are unreliable. If it is destroyed Skion will immediately be able to call overwhelming support
Zombie wranglers have injection narcotics that will return the zombies to their feral, violent selves. Feral zombies have no allegiances.
Each crate contains 2 fleebnorks. They must be carried and deployed away from danger so the fleebs can hide and start to infest the planet.
Air Support Available
-> Allied with Dominion <-
Goals: Begin zombie infestation. Begin Fleebnork infestation. Escape (optional)

Skion: Hero Percy (super cop cliche) + 4 tactical police + 3 regular police
Air Support en route
Goals: Stop Ynidon

Imperial Magikstrate: Hero Irwyn (magikal soldier cliche) + 5 SBU Marines
Goals: Stop zombie infestation (too dangerous to the empire)

Dominion: Hero Mirana (Full Metal Bitch cliche) + 4 infantry
-> Allied with Ynidon <-
Goals: Seize the landing pad and assist Ynidon

M-Throne: Hero + 5 infantry
Air Support Available
Goals: Stop Ynidon (zombies are NOT for the Greater Good)

USA: Hero + 4 infantry + 1 communications specialist
USA communications are uninhibited as long as comm specialist is alive and may receive more reinforcements.
Goals: Fight, kill, possibly even win.

Sign ups are open!

YNIDON

Image

The bus starts to move off, and for a brief moment it looks like some sort of mistake.

Image

Wrong! The bus shoves backwards and crashes through the safety glass. A few civilians are Disrupted but otherwise unharmed.

Image

The zombies, freshly allowed to go feral, are tossed from the bus into the station.

Image

In just moments they each find a target and their bites draw blood.

>Civilians will be automatically infected when attacked. Real troops will have to be successfully attacked and have their Mind die overcome<

Image

Nearby civilians start to scream and run in terror.

Image

On the roof of the bus the troops ready their actions to fight. Inside the bus everyone is still chilling.

SKION

Image

The police move up toward the railing. The hero starts to shout and hype up the officers to try and coax a little more movement out of each of them. Behind, a friendly neighborhood cop is using the PA to urge the crowd to return to their homes for their own safety.

Image

Unfortunately, the loud shouting causes confusion with the garbled PA system, so the crowd starts to push in on the officers

"What's going on?"

"Where are you going?"

"I'd like to report something suspicious I saw last week..."

The officers are unable to reach the railing and are caught in the crowd of onlookers. [FEAT FAILED]

Image

One of the friendly neighborhood cops looks through the trash...

Image

Wow! He found a gun! It probably has evidentiary value, but these are dangerous times...

Image

The other friendly neighborhood officer is trying to calm down the crowd and can't find anything to use as a weapon.

USA

Image

The troops split into Blue Team and Red Team and start to move toward cover.

Image

The USA Hero confronts the construction workers and steals one of their hats. Now he will stand out more and have an easier time giving orders.

Image

Everyone takes cover as the enemy is a long distance away.

M-THRONE

Image

The troops advance carefully toward the landing pad.

Image

"Hey, I just work here..." the crewmember says nervously, backing away from the approaching soldiers.

DOMINION

Image

The troops advance, taking several hostages.

"Be cool and nobody will get hurt," one of them tries to calm their human shield, dragging them along in the advance.

IMPERIAL MAGIKSTRATE

Image

The marines move up toward the bus, rifles at the ready.

Image

Irwyn casts a one-way shield to protect the marines from return fire.

Image

The only two marines in range fire at the Ynidon roof troops.

Image

One of them manages to hit Jirac, but her armor roll defeats the attack easily.

Image

Jirac and the rocket launcher return fire.

Image

The rocket explodes prematurely (which is totally normal and not unexpected, really) against the magikal shield (the red die was for the lasting effect but the shell destroyed it)

Image

This allowed Jirac's shot to connect.

Image

Ynidon draws first blood!
