d20 Modern

[Meshakhad]

David turns to Rin. Switching back to Mandarin, he says, "Let's wait a little while, see if anyone interesting shows up."

[Silent Hunter]

The man that Chuck is sitting with leaves forcefully and fast, leaving some tickets behind.

He walks over to the two people he heard earlier.

"The name's Chuck Roeman. I believe I've found the man we're looking for. He wants us to go to Vegas for some reason".

Roeman had been to Vegas before. Red Flag always included a visit there, especially to places of a certain erotic nature.

[drum-n-bass]

(ooc) i pm'd the other players to let the know, i hope they can join, if not then what should we do about the other players?(ooc)

[Meshakhad]

"Vegas?" David had been once, and came away with a strong dislike for Sin City.

"OK. David Ashkenazi, by the way," he extended his hand.

[Caewil]

'If he was the one who sent for us, who the hell were they?' Rin asks David in Mandarin.

Rin turns to Chuck Roeman, 'Shi Shun Mei. You'll be forgiven for not pronouncing it correctly.'

(ooc: Damn. I wanted to beat someone up! Or at least have the bouncer grab them. I mean, I did pay/seduce him.)

[drum-n-bass]

(ooc)haha you know you could just beat that guy in the corner up just because he was staring at you. and by the way Arachnid they guy who sent for you is pro he know your real name and its on the ticket (ooc)

[Silent Hunter]

Roeman shook the hands of his two new friends.

"Pleased to meet you", he responded, "Caesar's Palace to be precise. I suggest we get going as soon as possible, after we get some stuff from our hotels, of course"

Roeman glanced at the tickets to see the details of their flight, including time and airport of departure. This would be important for journey plans.

[drum-n-bass]

The ticket is scheduled to leave at 1:00 pm on Nov 7. It is 11:25 pm on Tuesday November 6.

[Meshakhad]

"See you at the gate."

David pays for his cocoa, leaves, mounts his bike, then drives back to the hotel. He has already arranged for a few extra days of vacation time. His original plan was to spend that time back in Washington with his girlfriend, Hanna. But everything has changed, now.

David had been doing this long enough without telling anyone. He sends off a message to Hanna, explaining everything. The message is encrypted* with standard CIA encryption techniques on his and Hanna's shared key.

*Hanna knows how to decrypt it, but for anyone else, the DC has gotta be off the charts.

[Silent Hunter]

"See you there", Roeman replies. He gives everyone their tickets

He hangs around the bar for another half an hour, then heads back to his hotel via the subway.

There he goes to sleep, setting an alarm for 7.00am. He's interested to see what will happen in Vegas. He's still got two weeks leave after all...

[drum-n-bass]

(ooc)I'm new to this, so I'd like a reasonably long game, please.

I don't have d20 Future.(ooc)

[drum-n-bass]

(ooc) ok i can do a long game. and thats fine you dont have d20 future, but we could do a new game when its done. (ooc)

[Caewil]

(ooc) d20 future is OGL, I think. There's a SRD for it. Personally, I'd love to run a game, but I won't have time till late november.

Also, how are we going to get our weaponry past airport security? (/ooc)

[drum-n-bass]

(ooc)whats ogl? i probably know what it is but i probably forgot. we could wait till november to do another game, i will continue to dm until someone else wants to. can we make a d20 modern group if thats possible?

and i didnt think about that and you are going to a private terminal ( the guy is really REALLY rich so he is providing a plane so their will be no security ( dont question my authority) anything else? (ooc)

[Caewil]

Rin returns from the nightclub and stuffs everything of worth she has into a large duffel bag. Fake passports, a set of throwing knives, her Glock 20 and ammunition are packed carefully in between layers of clothing. This goes into a suitcase along with more clothes and a box of tear-gas grenades.


(ooc) OGL means open gaming licence. So, some rules for d20 future are available, free, online.(/ooc)

[Caewil]

(ooc)Now would be a good time to skip to the airport.(/ooc)

[Silent Hunter]

(ooc)Concur. GM?(ooc)

[drum-n-bass]

On the way to the airports all of you taxis explode killing you. Now the game is over, there is nothing more you can do.

(ooc) hahahaahaha no sadly that is not the way it will end i will start again using the right one(ooc)

Getting to JFK Airport, you notice the driver go to a guarded gate. The guard then opens the gate and you go for several more miles before reaching a private airport outside of JFK. As you open the door all of your stuff is moved into the plane while you are being rushed in the plane so you can leave fast. Getting on the plane you are seated in a fancy looking plane, taking off right as you sit down.

[Caewil]

As the plane takes off, Rin turns to Roeman. "Since you're the only one among us who spoke to our... benefactor, why don't you tell us more about this mission."

(ooc) Ie: Feed me Plot.(/ooc)

[Silent Hunter]

Roeman had sat down and was strapping himself when Rin started speaking.

"We're going to Caesar's Palace and meeting a guy there. From then on, I know as much as you do".

He wished that they hadn't put the Beretta in the hold. It might come in handy if things went wrong.

[Meshakhad]

David takes in everything Roeman is saying, then turns back to his laptop.

[drum-n-bass]

When the flight is an 1 hour and a half in, all of a sudden the plane starts diving downwards. The lead hostess comes out of the cockpit screaming that the pilots have been killed (or knocked unconscious). She continues saying that you guys have to take over the plane or we will all die.

What do you do?

[Silent Hunter]

Roeman realises the inevitable and inwardly sighs.

"Guess that'll be me", he responds and unstraps his seat. He runs towards the cabin as quickly as he can, not saying "Here I come to save the day!"

He pulls the unconscious pilot from his chair and grabs the stick, immediately pulling back to level the aircraft.

[Meshakhad]

David follows him to the cockpit, and settles into the copilot's seat.

He turns to Roeman: "You fly, I'll talk to flight control."

"What's the flight number?" he asks a flight attendant.

[drum-n-bass]

The flight number is OO074. If you need anything else just ask. That is O O 0 7 .

[Meshakhad]

David puts on the headset, and turns on the radio.

"Control, this is flight Oscar-Oscar-Zero-Seven-Four, declaring an emergency. Repeat, this is flight Oscar-Oscar-Zero-Seven-Four, declaring an emergency. The pilot and co-pilot are dead, but one of the passengers is a pilot. Request assistance."

[drum-n-bass]

I hear you flight OO074 if you can wait a little bit A kind sounding woman says to you It seems like your flying alright, what do you need assistance with?

[Caewil]

Rin feels her stomach heave as the plane lurches downward. A glitch? Before she can ponder the question, a hostess bursts out of the cockpit and starts screaming about the pilots being dead.

As Roeman runs to the cockpit, Rin grabs the hostess and begins interrogating her: 'Did you see anything? Was there anyone else in the cockpit!?'

Having an intruder on the plane could be... Interesting. It had been a long time since she'd had a chance to commit any violence. She almost grins inwardly until she realizes, with a sinking feeling, that she had left her Glock in her luggage which was now... somewhere. 'Where's my bag? Where do you keep the damn luggage on this flying deathtrap!' Rin stops as she realizes that she's been shouting at the already traumatized hostess who is now looking as though she's about ready to faint.

'People skills, eh?' She thinks.


'Listen. If there's an intruder on board, I'll need my weapons to protect you. They're in my bag. It's the big black one made out of hard plastic.' She tempers her tone to a level that, while not soothing, carries clear tones of authority that seem to calm the hostess. 'Could you tell me where it is?'

She refrains from saying 'Our lives could be at stake.' There'd be no point in panicking the poor idiot any further. Besides which, Rin didn't like stating the obvious.

[Silent Hunter]

I hear you flight OO074 if you can wait a little bit A kind sounding woman says to you It seems like your flying alright, what do you need assistance with?

Roeman hears the words "Wait a little bit", then the following asking for assistance.

He looks around for a headset. He's about to give this woman a piece of his F-15 pilot mind.
