OOC
Okay, the team were sent on a mission to get the machine security codes, but another set of rebels(or not) tried to do the same. So they cocked each others plans up. I an effort to find outwho the other team weree, since they weren't from Xion, they visit the oracle, who tels them to find the fat guy, No Sahn or wateva. He sends his goons after them, after telling them the other team were under command of aman called Jericho(?). His ship was apparently destroyed, according to Ariadne and Dallas.
The fat guy tries to escape in a helicopter, Heph gets in, the rest of the team ALSO get in. And fatty agrees to take them to Melitus, his and Jericho's master(?). And so they are at the warehouse.
Right or no?
Ok, well, it's generally right, I'll just fill in the details- Jericho's team is technically from Zion.
The opening misison to quietly intercept the machine security codes was cocked up by Captain Jericho and his crew from the Bounty, who was trying to get the same thing. This was unusual not only in two groups of Rebels compromising each other, but also in that the Bounty was destroyed with all hands six months ago.
Hence your crews (Dallas' ship had the mission to get the codes, Marduk's ship did the observation work to make the mission possible, so it is the concern of you both) are now tasked to find out what the heck is going on. For ideas and objections to ideas as to how this has happened, read thr first post of the thread.
You guys visited tihe Oracle who directed you to Ni Zhan, saying he could lead you to Jericho. This didn't go as smoothly as you guys might have liked, leading to the massive battle we just had, but not before Ni Zhan revealed that:
1. Jericho works for someone named Melitus, who tasked Jericho to get the codes.
2. Ni Zhan used to work for Melitus but Jericho displaced him
3. As you guys spoiled Melitus' plans, Ni Zhan planned to hand you over to Melitus in order to re-gain his favour.
Instead you guys blew away all his goons and have taken him captive, and he will now take you to Melitus and, with any luck, some answers.
And now Hammurabi and Azrael have arrived as further back-up!
Ok then! Ni Zhan leads you guys to the front of the warehouse, where a patrollng guard (with assault rifle) spots him
"What the hell do you want?" the guard asks. Unlike Zhan's triads, these guys are standard US criminal types.
"I have brought some friends of mine to see Melitus."
The guards looks at all you 'friends', and snorts in a kind of 'Yeah, right!' fashion, but indicates for you to come further in.
Just inside the entrance there is a pick-up truck. Climbing onto it now is a tall guy with blonde hair, flanked either side by armed guards, who watches you all curiously as you come in. He lights a cigarette.
"What the hell is this shit, Ni Zhan?" he asks. He looks you all over again.
"Ah, honorable sir, I bring these peope to... ummm..." says Ni Zhan, as half a dozen guards surrounfd him and lead him away.
Blondie looks at you gus a third time.
"Who the hell are you then? And what do you want here?" he takes a drag on the cigarette.
