The Voyages Of The Century Flamingo: Game 7

OK, so I played out Turn 7 of my Five Parsecs From Home campaign. After our success for Tukera Lines last turn, we were able to get another courier delivery assignment, this time from the Subsector Duke himself. But first, a recap of time spent in the vicinity of the Starport: Asvyaske spent some time Training, O and Aim repaired the damaged weapons, and Iruurlaa and Uekzfu both found Patrons. Uezkfu had also used our last Med-patch to get back on her paws. Another Rumor was found, which resolved into a Quest. A lot is going on all at once!

One thing we have learned on this overgrown pink world of Windsor is that any time something is being delivered, someone else wants to take it. This time was no different, and a posse of Tech-gangers decided this delivery was for them. There were six of them, one a leader and one with a shell gun. The rest were armed with infantry lasers, and they were approaching the delivery point from the opposite direction from Our Heroes.

The delivery point was the main entrance door of a frontier homestead. The general area was overgrown with the damnable pink fluff that seems to cover the entire world. There was an airborne jellypink drifting through the area, and the homesteader had his car parked out in front of his dwelling.

So, to begin with, Aim moved into cover and had a clear shot at one of the tech-gangers and promptly dropped her with a well-placed shot from his hunting rifle. The Gangers then advanced into cover, and returned fire on the entire Crew, but without any effect. As the rest of the Crew moved forward, one of the Gangers decided to run away. This would not be the last time this happened.

After that, Aim took a good shot at the Ganger with the shell gun, but only caused a Stun result. O made the Delivery. Victory secured! The Gangers returned fire without effect. Asvyaske moved forward and dropped the Tech-ganger leader with a single shot from his Hand Cannon. Iruurla, Khirki, and Uezkfu were all unsuccessful in their return fire.

Next, the remaining Tech-gangers opened fire on Our Heroes, and Asvyaske took a hit! Not down, but a bit stunned. Irrurlaa finally found his mark and dropped a Ganger, Aim missed his shot at the Ganger with the Shell gun, and both Khirki and Uezkfu missed their shots. However, the hail of fire was enough to convince another Ganger to leave the skirmish.

Following on, Aim took a shot at the Shell gunner and managed to Stun her. She shakily returned fire without effect. Uezkfu managed to get into the Shiny Bits, and everyone else shot at the remaining Ganger without further effect.

Finally, Asvyaske took a shot at the last Ganger and felled her with his Hand Cannon. That was the end of the skirmish, and we had Held the Field!

Afterwards, we recovered that Shell Gun. It would come in handy! Upon returning to the Starport, we were paid our 3 credits of danger pay and an additional 4 credits for completing the job. Our ship was paid off, and our coffers were growing. Now, about that Quest...
